No way to know for sure without physical inspection.
If I had to guess I'd say the cable connecting the screen may have come loose.

Yeah. Was about to think that cable too. Gotta wait till i get opening kit and report after!

Okay, after disassembling and investigating i found the problem.
When i press this part of the phone with finger(red circle), it starts to flicker and bug like in the video above..
What this cable actually does, and how i could fix it..? Is it connecting to screen? Didnt found good guide to disassemble more so didnt do it.
Do i need to replace whole piece of phone.. (rounded with cyan color)?
without the back cover it works way better than with it.

Display Problems

I have a problem with an Xperia Play, the screen goes all 'fuzzy' sort of like a untuned TV. Sort of like this -:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But with different colours in.
This seemed to happen with an upgrade to 2.3.4, but I think that might just be coincedence.
Any else experienced this? Pressing the screen in various places does seem to bring the display back.
I'm thinking this is probably hardware related.

It could be a loose connection to your LCD screen. (Just speculating though)

That what I thought, but tempting as it may be to crack it open, I'm going to to send it back to Sony. They want me to run update service program etc, then arrange collection if it is still broken.
Guess I'll have to re-lock my bootloader before hand
I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

[Q] Help with repair (flex ribbon?)

Anyone know if buying this would fix broken/non functional capacitive buttons on the captivate glide? Seems like a simple enough fix, i've honestly only worked on fixing computer my whole life and the occasional ps3 as well. cell phones are something I've never attempted so if anyone could lend a hand that'd be great. I'm sure tearing the phone apart i'd be able to figure out where it goes, i just need to know if that's the right part. would make my wife's day if she could use the buttons again! thanks in advance!

I can't comment if that piece will fix your phone or not, however in the meantime for a workaround::

that actually doesn't work on any of the newer stock ROMs that I've tested on. It was also less than helpful because it leaves a 2 pixel opening for pressing the shutter button on the camera. ha. i can get the nav bar enabled in cm10, but without camera my wife won't let me leave it installed. thanks though!

[Q] Must wrap cord in order to charge

Hi folks,
Been having this problem for a little while now and decided I'm fed up with it. My Verizon GN will only charge if I wrap the cord around it as such:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have tried multiple cords and the problem always persists. Any suggestions on now to go about getting this fixed?
Thanks!
Since you have tried multiple cables.. It could be the wall piece of the charger not having a good connection around the USB, try a new one of those.
LOL....
sorry didnt mean to laugh.
1) the power cube/brick(where the USB attaches) might be faulty
2) the charge slot on the phone might be faulty
3) all of the above

How do I go about fixing this?
Appreciate the input!
It may the electronic where its charging. I recently moved out of an area where the power was bad and suffered a similar issue to a new area and now my phone has had issues
It sounds like probably the USB port on your phone is bad. Wrapping the cord around the phone must hold the plug in just the right position it needs to be in to connect correctly.

Phone damaged after dropping. Sim reader, micro sd reader not working. No sound.

So i dropped my zenfone 2 today. From what i read on internet it seems my lower power board got damaged is it it?
Phone is charging but quick charge isn't working.
Is there a way to fix it by myself?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: So i actually managed to bring sound and vibration back to life, but cant get sim and sd back to work, i can see a little crack on part of power board in plastic where u need to put the "tape" in. Could it be that due to this crack pins working for micro sd and sim arent working? Should i buy new power board to check it?
Edit 2: it also fixed quick charge.
how'd you fix your sound? I dropped mine and lost all sound earpiece and speakers
A connector came loose and the daughter board stopped working.
Reattach it, there are two connections that it can be.

Does anybody know what this connector is for?

Opened an M8 to find this (circled and with the red arrow pointing at it) disconnected:

Does anybody know what that connects?
TIA.

it connects to the bigger motherboard ( the one with the cpu and other stuff) connect the two wires so they dont cross each other
Thanks but that doesn't answer the question.
It's connecting the daughter board to the mother board.
It's hard to tell what it does exactly without proper documentation, you could unplug them, power on the phone and see what doesn't work.
If I had to take a guess then I'd say they might be connectors for the antenna or gps.
Thanks. I think you are right. I got a second M8 from Amazon and GPS hasn't working. When I opened it I found that disconnected at the MB end. Connecting it and powering the phone up resulted in a GPS that locks.
I thought it was for the SD card, mine stopped working after i had replaced the screen and didnt know why, when i disassembled it again to check this wire (or the one next to it) was popped off the connector.
I always thought GPS was the little tab on the very top that touches the frame once assembled (unless that is just to use the frame as an aerial)
