Hi,
Recently i sent my phone into a repair shop to replace the battery, and it was fine for the first few weeks, but then the screen went really dark one day and I could hardly see anything. When I connect to the tv, it works and the touchscreen works and so does the actual screen, its just the back light.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to access the backlight (i presume its the backlight) so I could repair it? Thanks!

Before you do anything, have you tried to turn up the brightness?

Try the Xperia disable auto brightness app from the play store

Did you press the volume down while connecting the USB cable? That should take you into download mode ( green led ). If that is also not working then it may be a problem.
You could try flashtool?

Yes, I did and the sony companion said it had finished, surely I could just send it to sony, because their software has caused it to stop working so they can repair it, and probably end up repairing the whole thing?

You cannot boot it on flashmode since the screen is not turning on. Just vibrate right? and blackout screen? I know the problem is flex. I'm 90% sure :laugh:. I had same problem then. You should bring it to the nearest sony repair center to be replace.
What is flex ?
So no chance to repair my phone by myself ?

No, unless you know how troubleshoot hardware parts. Flex is a cable that connects your lower part (touchpad) to the screen. Maybe it broke because of sliding the pad frequently. Now I don't use my pad or I slide it with much care now. I only use it once in awhile because I'm afraid to mess with it again. Since the xperia play is a 2011 product, the parts are also rarely available. You can call to the sony repair center if they have flex for your xperia play and you'll be lucky if you find one. They will tell you to call back for two weeks if they don't have because they will order it first. Try all the sony repair center on your city. But for now, try doing this: Remove your battery to be sure it is turned off, put it back, then charge it. When the led light turned on to the on/off button(usually orange when below 90%), then try sliding the pad. Try sliding it many times. It will turn on if your flex is slightly working. If the screen is still black, then the flex is totally broken.
You can boot into flashmode by holding back button and plug your usb(you phone should be turned off)if your power button led turn to green you boot to fastboot correctly
Then download the last firmware and flash it with flashtool

yes i tried that too only red light :crying:
Hi, only had it 3 days and it wont power up any more!
The battery was down to about 27%, plugged it into the wall charger and the phone just rebooted itself. After it booted back up I connected the charger again and this time the phone just turned off. The phone won't turn on any more, i just get a constant blinking red led light.
Tried a volume up + power button for a minute now nothing.
Tried pressing the little red button under the Sim, nothing.
Connected the phone to a PC and the PC makes a blip sound(found new device sound), but just keeps repeating the blip sound, like the usb cable has been unplugged and plugged back in over and over. Wanted to use the Sony companion software to do a reset.
Any other ideas or is it dead?!?
thanks

What did you do before it can't turn on?
Can you flash the ftf on it?

Hi, not flashed anything as the phone was brand new. Spoke with the retailer and they swapped out the handset.
I did manage to get the device to boot up after more searching online, by holding down the power button for about 10mins and keeping it charged at the same time. The flashing red light then changed to a solid orange light, after another 10mins or so the phone booted up. But the phone was playing up after that even after a hard reset.

It is SDS and you need to replace emmc.
You can read about first models with faulty emmc chips.
