[Q] Broken Display - Can it be replaced?

Hi all,
2 months ago my o2x was unfortunately dropped, resulting in broken display. The phone was on warranty but expanses refuses to fix it for free, siting 'out of warranty reason: display broken'. They are charging me 105 euros for the display, plus shipping and taxes, summing up to 135 Euros. Ive seen that there are many OEM displays for o2x on ebay, for only 20-30 dollars. So what id like to ask is..
A) Are these display of the same (high) quality as the original display of the o2x? Are they the same display?
B) Is replacement something that can be done easily? I have experience on soldering etc, but never with something so fragile and small.
Thanx for all replies

One of our users in indonesia had a broken screen. His kid toyed with it. He went to lg service center and replaced it for ~$600.
He was still under warranty. I have no idea.
The screen was of the same quality.
I dont know about doing it yourself.

You mean 600 US dollars??

Sometimes some eBay sellers sells parts they dismantle from the original o2x phone. If the seller manages to sell all the parts, the profit is alot more than the cost of buying the phone itself. And since o2x is not really a famous phone like sgs2, I don't think China will bother making knock off parts since there are less demands, so there's a good chance those replacement screen are original IPS screens.

[Q] [Help] Screen crack. Touch Not working

Hi Guys,
My XZR fell down and it has got a huge crack from top right till bottom left. Touch isn't working.
Went to the service center. They said that screen isn't replaceable. They used to provide a new handset at half price,but as the production is stopped they can't do that now. But, they will provide a discount on any other model I select which is currently in production.
Can I buy the screen and do a DIY? or should I go for a different model?
By the way, I am from India.
Thanks

From second link you can calculate estimated shipping price and delivery time and cost in Indian Rupee. You can give it to any local known mobile repairer to replace the screen and pay him his charges for replacing if you are not confident to do it

You can replace the screen but you'll lose the waterproof "feature" of your phone.
I cracked my Xperia Z and price to repair was about 60% of purchasing price. :silly:
So bought a Xperia ZR instead.:victory:

Is there any way to retain the waterproof feature?
I guess as per the bold description the lcd is glued. Can we do that?

Thibk so, but waterproof feature must be the reason why it's so expensive.
If a repair center says the repaired phone is waterproof again and it's not ....

I think your best chance is to get it fixed from a Sony service center.

How much will it cost? I would rather buy a new phone if it costs too much

It shouldn't cost that much, I believe. You could *try* giving it under warranty (if it is still valid), because a friend of mine dropped his phone and got the screen fixed since it was under warranty. His was a Moto G2 though.

Help a fellow xperia user

I broke my xperia zr lcd a few months ago, and ever since i have trouble getting original lcd. In my country there is no support for this device, because it is for us market. I got one from ebay, it was broken, got one from aliexpress, it seems ok, but it was way of the original one. So please, would you help me out and post some online shops, even in your native language that sells genuine xperia zr lcd assembly? It needs to have lcd, touchscreen and frame alltogether.

Genuine has frame attached to it.
This seems better, but would anyone from UK confirm that they sell only genuine parts?

Xperia Z1 still good - worth repairing?

Hi! I have had my device more than two years now so I'm not super sad, but yesterday when I took it out of my pocket it had some cracks in the screen, not very visible cracks, but apparently enough to destroy the touchscreen functionallity. I think I know what caused the cracks and it was my own fault but that's beside the point.
It will cost me $150 to get the screen repaired, and I'm wondering if it's worth it for that cost? I have looked at new phones and it seems hard to find anything that beats the Z1 in terms of hardware for 150 USD, or even 250, or even 350..
So maybe it's worth getting it repaired. What do you think? Thanks.

how about the c5 ultra or m5 aqua?

Both of those phones seems to not be available like anywhere here in Sweden where I live. And 6" screen is too big for me. I didn't look up the picing of those phones, but I assume that they cost way over 150 USD.
Maybe it's worth sending it in for repair, otherwise it's a bit sad to throw away it when it's hardware is fully working, but just that I can't use it because of the broken touch. There are some downsides though, that they can't guarantee that it willl remain water-proof, and that the Z1 probably isn't going to get Android 6.
I have compared the hardware specs of Xperia Z1 against some other phones and it seems to be holding up pretty well, despite the fact that it's a 3 year old phone, or am I wrong?

If you don't want to spend money on a new phone then it would be worth having the screen replaced.
While you're at it, I'd also replace the battery with a quality replacement too, and shouldn't cost much more because that would have to come out anyway to get to the screen.
I've just replaced the battery on my Z1 because it wasn't holding charge anymore.
The Z1 is a good phone. I wouldn't bin it because of a broken screen.

Thanks for your answer and thanks for the advice of replacing the battery at the same time. Then it will be like brand new again
Ok, the total cost for Screen replacement + Battery replacement would be 218 USD, perhaps I'll get a discount because I'm already replacing the screen, but if not, 218 USD is not too bad.
I can't find any phone that has faster CPU, more ram, and overall better specs for that cost so.. yeah

1) Even now a new z1 will not cost any less than 350$.
2) You can never get a decent phone under or near 150$
Some midrangers can be bought in 250-350$. But don't compare them with recently demoted former flagship.
3) The only hope of getting a good phone with cheapest rates is with chinese oems

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for your answers!

Guy's, question my Sony Xperia Z1 back camera is just showing black
screen when trying to take a photo… I think the people who fixed my screen damaged my camera or I damaged the sensor….
Since I have a AT&T LG G3, do u think I should replace the Z1 camera or unlock the LG G3 for T-mobile… Screen replacement is $100 I've paid, a camera replacement is $70 is it worth it…
Thinking That I can just use the $70 to unlock my AT&T LG G3 instead…

You can always buy a screen from eBay, just for 50$, not a big deal. I have changed it myself. good experience!

You might want to complain the guy who fixed your screen or by making him check if your camera is connected to the mainboard? It's not easy to damage the camera I guess, but the thing is that you don't even need to touch the camera sensor to repair the screen...
To OP, I think 150$ is too much, sadly :/
By the way, mine broke too ! I will be getting this probably: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LCD-Display-...630061?hash=item1e97e8b86d:g:TycAAOSwDNdVn3z3
Sorry for a canadian link

A little update: Today I bought a black Xperia Z5 Compact for €460
Thanks everyone that has responded in this thread.
