Hi! I was wondering if any of you guys out there could help me by answering a few questions.
I tried to change the screen on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, but it wont boot up properly. Heres the story:
I followed a step-by-step video that I found on the youtube, which has been proven to work on a former mobile that I fixed.
In short; I got off the old screen and got the new one on. But the problem occurs when I turn it on. It just comes a faint background light from the screen, it does not boot up completely to the sony logo, but you can see that it is on. When I plug it into the charger the LED shines red, before it then turns orange after a few seconds. This is everything that happens, and I can not understand what could be wrong.
Is it something wrong with the screen? Would it work with another screen? Or is the whole phone dead now?
I just hope that one of you out there have the answer, please help me if you do, I would be so happy!
Hoping for replies

My tilt is acting very nasty lately. Over the past few weeks, I noticed that when I turned on the display, occasionally I would get something that looked like the static that you see on TV, but with colors. I would just turn off the screen, and turn it back on to clear it.
Now it's gotten worst! 98% of the time, it intermitantly gives me a blank solid white screen when I turn it on. Occasionally I can just turn to screen off, and on to reset it.
I'm running OEM WM6.1, and I've tried to reinstall the OS, but it didn't help. My phone has taken a beating, and the top corner has had a small crack in it over the past 2 months, but it didn't effect the touch screen, or picture. I also took off the cover to make sure the cables were all snug, and it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Something got corrupted. If you search WIKI, it's call the 3 color screen stuck .. and you're better off posting at thread below. I hope someone can give you help (if you follow those steps and still no good)
As rule of thumb, do a lot of reading first

On a second thought, it might be the LCD itself broken ..
Oh, believe me.. I'm not one to turn to the forums without doing research myself! All the research I was coming up with seemed to point to a slightly different WSOD though. I think you are right about the screen being broken. I've reinstalled the software, and it acts up even when booting up!
Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with ANYTHING on the market to date! If I'm unable to fix this, I'll just go back to a RAZR until the next gen WM7 phones come out. (With a tilt screen of course!!)
Oh, and even though the screen goes white, it's not stuck, as it fully boots up; I can hear sounds, and even activate the touch screen.
Also, I forgot to mention.. the first problem I started experiencing was that my tilt would go back from landscape mode! It was like the video board was crapping out. I could even see a slight flicker in the display from the refresh rate.
hi i think you may need a new Need a new flex cable ribbon as i had the same problem once
Thanks Tayzaa, I think you could be on to something. I'll open it up and take another look!
Hi!
is this problem solved?
WSOD is bug of Hermes. I would know if kaiser have the same WSOD-bug with D-pad?
So in the middle of the day, I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time. I was faced with a black, backlit screen. It'd turn off and back on every 5 seconds or so. I pulled the battery, attempted to turn it on, but I was faced with the same black, backlit screen. It continued the cycle.
I tried powering it on in bootloader mode. This caused the backlight to stay on continuously, but again, nothing on the screen. No M logo, not even a faint hint of text.
Is this phone done for?
It may be possible that it is just the screen, however I do not have the phone to look at it. If you plug it in when it is powered on do you get a recognized device on windows/linux?
The wires connecting the LCD screen could also be loose. If you are at all tech savy you might try taking it apart and looking at it.
The Droid is an amazing phone, but it is getting outdated pretty fast. I still use the Moto Droid and have no problems.
Do you have the insurance with Asurion? if so you can send it in and they charge like $50 to replace the phone.

I would contact the manufacturer/carrier if there is still a warranty. If not, I would still contact to see if there is anything they can recommend, or if they will fix it for a minimal fee. Otherwise, look up how to take apart your milestone/droid on these forums and check for a loose connection or something. If all else fails, you may be able to buy a replacement screen. Those are the steps I would follow, but contact motorola/carrier first no matter what.
Good luck.
Can anyone help me??? after i bootloaded my razr i, i got some issues... sometimes (always), my screen turns green (green over white) then becomes normal, but it happens a little frequently and it kinda annoys... is there a solution?
PS: i tried to take some pictures from the phone but when i took to pc, it was normal... is this problem with the screen?
PS2: i searched for people with the same issue, don't know if this will help but they said it's like a filter, like nightvision... please, anyone help
hi everyone,
i have had me xperia zl fo about 9 months, now i noticed that the screen would turn off while i was doing something on the phone. Then when I tried to turn the screen back on the screen would turn on but no picture just a black blank screen. I can tell the phone is still on because when I connect it to pc it connects and shows my files on the phone also there is sound coming from the phone and when i touch the screen i can tell the touchsceen works cause it gives feedback. Sometimes after trying on and off with the power button the screen shows a picture.
One weird thing I noticed is that if I put a little bit of pressure on the back of the phone, in the top right corner where the usb plug is, the screen goes all weird with lines, discolored and turns off.
I am wondering if anyone has this problem or input on how i can fix it it would be greatly appriciated.
i can make a video if anyone wants to see a visual.
This is the Xperia Z section. You need the ZL Q&A section, which is here. ?

Hello... new here searching for a sollution regarding my problem.
I recently had my xz2 compact outside in some rainy weather and afterwards my phone went black, led works and sounds work. Upon rebooting i can barely see the Sony and Android logo, and about 1 second of my startu pscreen, but only barely if i angle a flashlight at the screen, nothing is visible in normal room light.
Ive tried replacing the screen without any success.
Any ideas? I probably can recover data but I would like to get it working again.

I probably found the problem on my own. Posting it here incase other people have the same problem.
It turns out there is a fuse for the backlight function. I need to replace it, however the fuse seems to be impossible to find so someone else just soldered a zero resistor instead.Ill try thatand see how that works
