[Q] dead xplay - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My xperia play recently had static screen. I thought it was just the flex cable but the technician told me that my phone is grounded.
Now it costs more to repair it. Any thoughts on repairing a grounded phone?
Thanks!!

He probably don't know what he is talking about. Try replacing the flex cable and see if that fixes it

The battery drains fast and heats up. Then they used as tester to confirm that it is grounded or shor circuited. I am afraid that they broke it when they disassembled my play

Yea they probably did try getting a new battery and a flex cable and see if you can get it working

Maybe its not the digitizer
Maybe its not the digitizer thats gone bad. Try every possible scenario it could be bad flex cable or worse. Thats why i bought an xperia play with a bad esn and replaced the enitre top half. Link to a working flex cable. http://adfoc.us/423185576968

Problem connecting headphones

My Xperia M Dual's original headphones work with the phone,but my Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman's headphones don't work on my Xperia M Dual,can anyone explain why & how to get it working on my phone?
The mic and ground pins of the headphone is swapped, that's why they don't work.
You can use a proper 4-pin to 3-pin adapter to eliminate the mic, which of course the mic will not work, or you can find an adapter which exchanges the ground and mic pin (don't know if there is one).
The connection of the Xperia M should be the same as most (if not all) Xperia 2012 devices, as well as Apple ones.
Xperia 2011 range headset using OMTP technology, Xperia 2012 and newer using CTIA technology, so both headset will not compatible.
To use LWW headset in XMD phone, try using Fiio LU1 adapter
try to click the button of your headshet when you connect it to your phone...with some headshets work
If u prefer DIY just change wire connection in your headphone and solder it. I did it and using a nokia hdphne in xperia m.
headphones

This is a hardware difference, old Xperia headphones are OMTP but any Xperia released after late 2012 will work only with CTIA headphones, restoring device won't change anything

I got headphones with my Xperia M dual too...
sorry for bumping into old thread.
secondly, i am not buy-in any logic provided above. i had the same problem earlier. original stock firmware 4.1 supports all headsets. but post updating to 4.2, suddenly headsets stops working except the original (bundled), even sony MDR-zx310 was not working. i am using sennheiser CX275s from last 6 months without any issue on my XMS (4.3). this is the only working headset, rest not headset/headphone is not supporting.

Xperia play not turning on

Hi
Xperia play not turning on.
Don't know if it's the screen or motherboard.
How do I determine the cause.
Hi
Just saw there is a tear in the flex cable!
Could this be the problem?
Anyway of protecting this cable from ripping when sliding the phone?
Thanks
