You are joking, right? I've never seen "video out" for xplay. Where did you get your first cable? Is it USB to video?

Ebay would be my first port of call (sorry should have said this in last post)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-ERIC...ABLE-FLEX-CONNECTOR-R800-Z1-Z1i-/270850617696
I went to mobile phone repair shop for an unrelated issue with my screen and I can confirm they have these as well, or at least the shop I went to did and that was just a few months ago

If you bought your Xperia Play legit, you will probably have warranty. Our warranty covers our Xperia Plays for 2 years, this means that if our phones first came out in 2011 we most definitely still have warranty. I recently sent my phone to the Sony repair centre without a receipt, with a relocked bootloader and without a charger (they ask for this) and they still repaired my phone! Its worh a try and save £25/your time/the risk of you damaging your phone even further.

I didn't by it legit got it second hand hopefully I can go to the store and maybe they will have one

It's a pretty easy fix and you can buy replacement digitizers on eBay.

Good luck and godspeed.
I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.
You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.
I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy
Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.
i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!

[Q] What happened to my phone?!

What happened and how do I fix it? Ive put to pictures of what the problem is. It only happens in landscape and sometimes in portrait.. it goes back to normal after a bit but i just gets annoying. so yeah if anyone has a fix please tell me. Thanks

They usually can be found on ebay. Changing only the flex cable is not easy, changing the entire display is doable.

I changed the flex cable on my one without too much issue, just gotta be careful with it

Yeah mine is doing this too. I haven't changed out the cable yet but I have an extra. The task looks pretty daunting.

Repair guide
Yeah, definitely looks like a dodgy ribbon cable.
Should be pretty easy to repair. Just make sure you do it with decent screwdrivers.

Glueing Xperia play in open position?

Im planing to get a brand new xperia play R800X just to use as a gaming device, im thinking of glueing it in the open position so the flex cable doesn't get damaged when opening closing the device.
i just know the flex is the weak spot, and i don't want it failing, and i will just use it for gaming
Does this sounds too crazy?

You could just be careful with it and not slide it open like you're trying to send it into another galaxy.

I wouldn't glue it if I were you.
Apply sticky adhesive rubber feet here instead.

So it doesn't close with those applied, or for keeping the screen more separated when opening/closing?

I replaced my flex cable on my r800x. But after putting back together now my speakers sound is distorted. Hated that thing with a passion.

Have been using a R800x for 2 years with no flex cable problems sliding it open. If you just NEVER close it you will likely never have the problem. Why bother gluing it and risk screwing it up

No I disassembled my R800x 3 times and putting it back together I still have the same issue. The problem is to get to the flex you have to dissemble the whole xperia play which inclues the disassembly of the gamepad.

Its even more difficult to find a Play replacement now because of the stereo speakers which almost no phone has.

Odp: Glueing Xperia play in open position?
Just don't close it. It's not that hard. I've bought the play about 3 months after it came out (my 1st touch phone ) and I have it till this day and I've never had any problems with hardware. It's about 2 years and my play was never dismantled even tho I've got a custom firmware from about 3 days I got my phone. don't be so paranoid. Just take care of it and you'll be fine

If you want something for games you should get a PSP or psvita because there arent going to be many more games for this since its pretty old. Unless you want it for emulators then that's a good reason to get it

Do I need just the top screen and the digitizer? Does anyone know what the part no. on amazon would be. Thanks
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Is the digitizer okay? Responds to touch and isn't damaged? If so, then all you'll need is the glass and a lot of patience.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If all you need is the screen, they run about $15 on eBay. I would suggest watching a few youtube videos of the replacement unless you've previously done so.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why cases are available for purchase. Seriously though, you need some sort of protection for an expensive device like the S3 or the S4. Protect your investment and get a case next time to prevent damage from falls.
See tutorial here.

I tried to replace the screen and I broke the digitizer. I got the replaced through insurance but is there any way to retrieve the data from the old phone with the digitizer being broken??? The phone cuts on and when I plug it into the computer it recognizes it as a camera and shows no files. I tried kies but it says I need to unlock the phone which I cant. Any help is appreciated.
I retrieved my data on my old phone by takomg both phones apart trading out the motherboards amd copying tbe old files to my computer. Them I swapped the motherboards back. The whole process took about 30 min.

Wow! You repaired it in one day The fastest fix I ever seen... BTW. When I was on practice(school practice, one month) fixing phone l(ordering i.e.screen + touch, and replacing) takes one week. Good to hear that you repaired it so fast and next time hold your phone harder
