Well, this is my first thread, if i got this in the wrong section, im really really sorry!
Like the title says, my display isnt working like it should, i can use the touch (even play music and stuff) but i cant see anything, do i need to buy a new display? If so, i searched for it and its selling like one piece, display and touch, and i dont know if im going to get scammed with the "repair" in a local store and just re-connect the display or something like that, i wanna know before i take the xperia to that place, a quick help guys! :good: :silly:
And again, im really sorry if i screwed this forum with a misplaced thread
(It got wet, then i just left it in the car with a ziploc filled with rice for a week, and powered it on, everything works but the display the soul of the xperia :/ )
Thanks for reading!

I had the same problem too bro, but let me tell you taht your display is fine don´t spend your money buying a new one, i tried mine with another cellphone i bought just like mine and the display was good then i send it to repair and the guy told me that one of the five cristals of que mother board that gives the video signal was burned and that´s easy to fix but the problem is to find the spare, it´s a very tiny piece and the only solution i see is to find a damaged tx and take that cristal to repair mine, while that happens i´m using the one i bought is just the same and newer but i would like to repair the other one to sell it and recover some money you know.

So its a little piece from the motherboard?! ): i was thinking that only a display-related stuff, not a tiny cristal from the motherboard ): that means everythibg in my Xperia v is going to get lost? ): the store told me that the fix of a new display is $600 in my country, (like 45-50 usd) but i wanna open it by myself and rebuild it from scratch, the thing is that i dont know how and i dont have the tiny screwdrivers xD
So, your advice? Remember, its a xperia v (lt25i)

Well you didn´t say that it was a v, but i guess that is the same problem but is wear cause v is water resistant unlike my tx, my advice y that you try out the display on another cellphone in my case the display wasn´t damaged so don´tspend your money without knowing well what´s wrong
Xda members, please help! share your experience if you had a similar or the same problem with your xperia v, i wanna fix it, im using a crappy phone while the other one is in a necessary vacation :crying:
Help a bro, and a bro will help you too :good: :laugh:

umm sry guys if i am screaming and with possible OT but its kinda urgent for me..
kk heres the story, i live in croatia in Europe.. i got my ppc cingular 8125 from ebay like 9 months ago and it was working fine... than one month ago the touchsreen would disalign, and than it went totally off... I sent it to the service here but they were unable to locate the proper error... they told they r quite sure the display controller went dead...
so, I am willing to send it in USA to a decent service... i got a friend in florida which could manage this, so I ask u plz if u know any decent service which could be able to fix this problem... and for cheapest price if possible, cos guys here told me a new screen would cost around 200$ which is too much (i think... since for few more hundres dollars i can get a new one)... so plz, can u suggest me any good service at florida or near there?
thx guys
hf&gl
ps- will there be any problem, since i modded ppc with that antenna aluminium foil + the speaker gum (the one which is stick on them) is missing? I had no guarantee when i got it from ebay, of course..
im not sure of the price but im pretty sure there's instructions somewhere explaining how to open up the wizard and replace the screen. It sounds like all you'll need is a new touchscreen, which i thought was under $100. That is of course if you're willing to do it yourself.
Im sorry i cant help, but im going to bump this just so someone who does know can help you.
yea, i thought the same... on ebay there r touchscreens for cpl of bucks... but what if the problem isnt in touchscreen? could it be maybe that the whole LCD+touchscreen is dead? I have to say i can't see any bad pixel on lcd display, he is workign fine... but what if...
any suggestions? could it really be that just the touchscreen is dead?

repair shops
if ur in florida ( idk what part), try looking for a cingular repair shop, i know t-mobile has one for its phones and things like that, i think its somewhere in clearwater, i always see it advertised on those beepers and phones ads.
here are some links that I found

good luck, i might be having the same issuse sood
and, of course, google is your friend
Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Any update?
no updates
Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay
GET INSURANCE........
IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

Hi all just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this happening before. I got the XZ on the day of release and yesterday when I took it off charge i noticed a crack in the LCD. The phone has no physical damage whatsoever, no cracked glass or chip or anything, its in new condition. I'm particularly careful with my phone and do not recall it ever being dropped or misused. Any advice?
Sorry i am unallowed to post a link so i have attached a photo

Thanks
Never heard of an cracked LCD on the XZ ? but mine and some other people having a spontaneously cracked glass. Als got the XZ on the day of release (Netherlands) So welcome to the club. Feel sorry for you too. Lets get united to get our point at SONY.
facebook - XperiaZScreenIssueCommunity - hope this helps ones there are a lot of participants evolved to make a statement.

and at the same place actually , gonna take it to service center tomorrow hope they dont charge a fortune for it..
just returning from service center defnitely not happy , for a small crack caused by heat they are saying I need to pay 650$ to replace screen , very shocking and unreasonable. I have escalated to the SONY customer support and they should contact me back today or monday.. guys anyone else had this problem ?

Took 3 weeks but Sony did fix it, i mentioned several times the phone was subject to no physical damage, tbh i didnt have to put up much of a fight it just took a lifetime to get my phone back. Its like brand new again.
Hope you get yours sorted.

Hey guys i purchased a sony xperia z1 about few months back and m sure my device has a faulty screen with a dead cell on it.... Sometimes it show many vertical black lines extending the whole screen... I have seen videos of teardown xperia z1 on youtube and realy worried by seeing how they open up the fone... Guys please advise me weather i should get it done from sony within warranty or i should let it be as it is as i don't want any further problems with my fone if sony center could not fix my fone like a new brand device.. M worried that my fone will lose it waterproof seal or Won't look like a new fone or loss of functionality in any manner.
Please suggest me guys asap wht should i do...??
You should take it to a Sony service center and have it checked, just to be sure. If the display is faulty then they should replace it under warranty.
As for the waterproofing, the service center should do a vacuum test (as it is stated here) to see if the phone is sealed properly after the repair (if they do decide to repair and not replace it).

You'd have better luck asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help
This is the section for accessories for the Xperia Z1. I will notify a moderator to move it for you, so others can answer your question who may not go in to this part of the forum. (thread is in Accessories at the moment) :good:
Happy new year!

If they said that you'll get a replacement phone and not a repaired / refurbished one, then that is what *should* happen.
I found this post here in which they replaced just the phone without the accessories, so it might be true that they do replacements like that.
Hope you get a new and problem-free one :fingers-crossed:
yadnit: my phone was replaced because of a faulty display, with a brand new one by the carrier i've bought it from. They did exactly what you said. They took just the faulty device, without any of the accesories that came with it in the box. They took my original Z1 box too. When the replacement arrived, it came in my original box, without being any kind of sealing. The phone had those protection plastic foils on it and when i started it, it was on .534 fw although my faulty unit was updated to .257 fw.
Another very important thing to pay attention to, is the new phone's IMEI. Mine has now a differen IMEI and even more it is unbranded and not simlocked (the faulty unit was branded and sim-locked also).
Hope this helps you!

I live in South Africa and when ever I try phone around to get more help they just redirect me to the next person who can not help me. What can I do any help thanks

You can repair it yourself, I think that's the best thing you can do if you don't want to pay that much.
Only downside is that there is a big chance that your phone isn't 'waterproof' anymore after you've fixed it.
Here is a tutorial:

And a place where you can buy parts:

Pretty pricey, but by far not as pricey as getting it repaired.
There are more places you can buy prats like Ebay.
Hello
Hi. I am from Romania and i bought 3 weeks ago a Sony Xperia Z3 from Germany. I have guarantee. Yesterday i saw that all the back glass from my phone is crashed. My phone didn`t fall down on the floor or something like this. I read on network many problems like this and i know that the problem is from my pocket. I don`t know that guarantee will repair this thing. What do you think?

I have seen same issue with T2 ultra in my friend's phone .. The display cracked inside pocket.... I thing that some kind of force applied to it while my frnd handling his bike with the phone inside the pocket....
And here in India it cost around Rs. 10,000 to fix it...
