So... - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I replaced the digitizer on my play r800a the other day and my phone isn't ghosting anymore BUT now the touch isn't working at all. Does that mean I need a replacement flex cable? when I push the slider like 2 mm forward the backlight turns off any further forward or back it turns back on....
The lcd is fine and the screen correctly changes from portrait to landscape and the touchpad circle things work fine, so does the buttons including the home, search etc...
I am correct to assume I need a new flex cable?

Are LCD and touchscreen functionning while phone is dismantled???

Hello!
Everything is in the title!
I've dismantled my HTC Touch Pro II in order to change my broken LCD (but still functionning). I've changed the LCD panel AND the touchscreen stuck all together. But it seems not OK, as there's nothing on the screen, the touch panel doesn't respond. I know everything else is OK as I'm able to connect to my phone using MyMobiler...
First, I reassembled it, but the screens (LCD+touch panel) weren't responding, so I dismantled it again. Main board on my left, bezel+LCD+touch panel on my right...
Before assemblying it again, I'd like to know if the "rubber tape" with metal inside (used to fix flex cable ribbons) is absolutly needed for the screens to work or not?
I hope you'll have clues for me.

loose digitizer

Hi,
after i managed to fix the issues of my aria (with your help, thanks) i figured out that the touch screen isn't fully responding to my fingers.
at normal - all of the screen responds. except of two mm of the perimeter, and the nav keys.
if i push the top of the screen, the nav keys start working, but the screen isn't responding at all.
so i guess it is little loose.
what can i do to fix it back to normal functioning state?
thanks.
im just going to take a long shot and say taht the digitizer has been replaced before , and the adhesive used was too thick
try installing this

[Q] Often unable to unlock phone as screen won't turn on when I try to wake the Play?

I've had this phone for 12 months (Typical! Just out of warranty! ), and I'm still running the initial stock ROM, however, all of a sudden last week whenever I took it out of my pocket and tried to unlock it, the screen stayed blank. Regardless of whether I use the power button or press Home, (or slide the gamepad out) it very often won't display the lock screen so I can unlock it. Occasionally it will display the unlock screen fine, but increasingly often it won't.
The phone is definitely still on, as if I press the volume keys I can hear it "Beep-BEep-BEEp-BEEP" as I push the volume at the side to turn it up. Occasionally after lots of trying it might come back and display the screen for me to slide-unlock, but most times I end up just taking the battery out.
Any ideas regarding what has caused this and what could maybe fix this? I've never dropped it, spilled water on it, or done anything other than it was intended so it's really puzzling and I'm concerned that when I receive phone calls I will be unable to answer them as a result.
Thanks in advance!
I guess it's the flex cable damaged.

Is there a way to tell for certain before I attempt to replace this? I just got a phone call and was able to answer it by dragging my finger across the screen, however the screen was off. So the touch screen is still functioning. It's not the backlight as the screen is definitely still "asleep" and under light you still couldn't see any pixels. It's as if the display is asleep and isn't waking up. I have a feeling it's to do with the phone's ability to slide open, but I'm not sure.
Thanks.
Touch screen still working so means the screen or the flex cable is damaged. But most probably is the flex cable because of the design, lots of people having this issue.
As the above poster said might be the flex but the whole LCD might be dameged hold it under intense light and and watch the LCD power on when the phone turns on if not well...

[Q] Dodgy touch buttons

Im having some trouble with my physical touch buttons. They seem to stop working every now and then. If I bash the phone on my hand a few times they usually start working again. I'm guessing theres a dodgy connection inside somewhere thats causing this. There are no other symptoms though so it's very specific to the touch buttons.
I've opened the phone to have a look if anything looked loose but on the face of it everything seemed fine. However, I wasn't sure which ribbon was for what and couldnt find a diagram anywhere on the net after a quick search. Can anyone help identify what all the connections are for? In the picture I have circled the 5 main connections. So far I have figured the following:
Black circle - touch for screen
yellow circle - metal docking contacts on back of phone
red circle - not sure possibly speaker/touch buttons?
blue circle - not sure possibly speaker/touch button?
green circle - vibration motor?
If you know better please correct me. I think the touch buttons either work off the screen touch responsive connection (black circle) or the red or blue circles but cant quite figure out which.
Thanks
i know the gold colored part on the bottom left of the phone is the digitizer connector, is the rest of the screen working? if not make sure the aforementioned connector is pressed down securely

Everything else is working fine, no issues with screen whatsoever, its just the touch buttons. Thats why im trying to figure which connector does the touch buttons

[Q] Screen problems

Hello,i bought (lcd+glass) whole new display, my other one was broken. I managed to put on the new display but when i turn on my phone the screen stays black, those 3 buttons at the bottom light up and are working, the phone is on, i can change the volume and stuff. What could be the problem, i have checked the cables. At the start i was checking does the display even works as i connected the one cable and the screen seemed to be working fine it turned on. But after that i have tried and tried a lot of times but now it wont turn on, the phone is working, 3 buttons ar bottom work as i touch them there is vibraton.

if everything is working and the cables are ok then the problem must be the screen...maybe you got a defective one

hmm, as i said the screen was working fine at the first 2 times, but then nothing happens the phone is working, those 3 buttons are working aswell, but just the screen. If the screen is faulty then those 3 buttons also shouldnt be working?

the connection of the digitizer and the screen are different i think if the digitizer is damaged the 3 buttons will not work wid it too but the screen will work
