My play sometimes thinks its being touched when its not
so if I left the screen on it would start opening apps by itself
goes through my contacts and starts sending people gibberish lol
wondering if anyone els has had this problem?
and if its defiantly the digitizer or possibly the flex ribbon?
I intend to replace both at the same time
has anybody els replaced a digitizer?
where did you get it from?
would you recommend it?
how dose it hold up against scratches?
I attempted to clean my old x10 mini pros screen but when I closed it back up...
The screen lit up and stayed blank.... Do I face the same danger with the play?
Thanks in advance
Yup replaced mine after having the same symptoms. I got a kit from eBay with the digitizer, screen, and removal tool.
The process isn't complicated, but it's a pain in the ass to get the hinge working properly again.. took me a lot longer than it should have.
Hi Throbbin Wood,
Your thread has been moved from Xperia Play General to Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. PLease post in the correct sub-forum in future.

same here
Hello, I had same problem and I solved it easily, but I recomend you buying digitizer with a front cover, because unsticking old digitizer and then sticking new one may cause next problems, because if you did not do it right, rubbish can get under your digitizer and you have to disassemble your X-play again to clean it.
So buy a digitizer+front cover on ebay and good luck with repairing...

Using my htc device suddenly touch screen went off and i could'nt use the stylus at all. The strange thing is that all of the other keys are working good. I tried hard reset the device but nothing happened. Now im stuck in the screen "tap the sreen to set up your windows mobile based device. Can anyone please help? Before the appearence of the above problem i was using google maps, if this helps.
many thanks
Does t have a crack in it? If so then it needs changing, if not then probably the ribbon has come out. Is it under warranty?
no there is nt any crack! everything was good and suddenly while i was tapping to check some maps, stopped.
Sorry for asking but ribbon is that thing above the screen? Is it possible to come out so soon? (6 months). and finally does the warranty covers ribbon change?
Sorry for the above questions but i really dont know what to do!
many thanks
call the company where you buy it from and ask them

If it's only 6 mths old it shoud be under warranty, so take it back to the place you ought it.
If you are determined to try to fix it yourself you have to do the following.
Remove the battery cover & battery.
Remove the 4 small screws
Remove the back-case by running your fingernail round the gap (hard 1st time then easy after that)
Remove 4 more screws
Remove front-case from the middle
Remove the motherboard assembly from the front case and unplug the screen/digitiser assembly, carefully pull that off the motherboard (again not easy 1st time).
You will now see the small digitiser ribbon at the bottom coming off the digitiser and disappearing into the bottom of the screen. It's very easy to take out and not easy to put back in. I use some flat-bladed tweezers to do mine but sometimes it takes a couple of tries. Obviously it's much easier if you are fitting a new digitiser because it's not fixed to the screen like yours will be. If you try to remove the digitiser chances are you will crack it. I re-fitted mine after removing my broken one by using thin cut strips of double-sided tape.
Before you do anything else, just clean with sharp knive or razor between the screen and the cover.You will be surprised how much rubish is is in there.
this things are keeping the screen pressed.
Hope it helps
many thanx 4 the instrustions guys. i'll try that. if everything ok i'll inform you. if not i'll give you my bank account number to deposit money in order to buy a new one.
many thanx again
Hello xda folks.
I'm very new to this forum and somewhat a newb at phone hardware. I'm in a bit of a dilemma here.
So this past 4th of July, I was being stupid (careless I should say). I was longboarding while on the phone (yeah I know), ate it and bam, shattered my screen. Now my screen is cracked so I hopped online and bought a new screen replacement digitizer from Amazon with good reviews so I know I'm not getting some cheap unusable part.
My phone still functions properly. Texts are coming in, I can answer calls and sort of guess my way around. Touch functions works. My backlight turns on but I get absolutely no display. My screen is black, no picture. But backlight works whenever I turn it on.
Does this mean I have a broken LCD? I'm going on a trip for a week IN a week and need my phone to work by next week. Also is there any way to tell if I have a wide or narrow flex in regards to the LCD without opening the phone? I'm waiting for my torx screw which is coming with my digitizer in a few days and can't wait that long to figure out what LCD I need if do I need one.
So my two questions are:
1. Do I need a new LCD?
2. If I do, is there a way to figure out the wide/narrow flex without opening the phone?
I apologize if this is a dumb post/asked a bunch of times. I'm just in a hurry and couldn't find the answers I needed and I'm not too knowledgeable at this stuff. Thanks for your help guys.

Theres 2 videos i used to replace mine and it works great,check to make sure you didnt miss something....
hello i bought a new full housing for my girlfriend's arc s
but i can't find an instruction video for this
can someone help me with this?
tnx
maybe this will help if it's not too late
http://www.mediafire.com/download/eza3knzas4e172k/disassemble_Instruction.pdf
It's easy to change it, but it has some tricks.
I changed last week on my gf's arc s too.
The trick is on the display+touch,you need to heat it up before trying to remove it. if you don't heat it up(either using a hair dryer or a professional heat gun),you may break it.

It's only for display, but,like i said, it's the hardest and trickiest part. the rest of the housing it's easy,just take everything it can be ripped off from the old and put on the new one .
Camera not working after replacing the housing
I changed the housing by myself...everything works fyn except the camera... can anybody help me ??
when i open the camera app, app opens but everything looks black and then error appears 'processcom.sonyericsson,android,camera has stopped unexpectedly'
I think you have a flaw contact. that long flex for the camera button, was glued on one side. did you applied it correctly?
If yes, flashing a new rom will help you.
Hi, recently loud speaker on my n7100 died, then it worked again, then it died, then it worked again, then it died again and stop working completely. So I assumed that he might lose connection and I disassembled my phone. While I was doing that, I used thin plastic card to remove the frame around the screen and somehow I managed to push the card in between digitizer and glass of the screen :good: Damage is not that big but its strange looking and Il lose some money when i will selling the phone. So my question is
Q: Is there a way to fix slightly unglued screen and how?
Please dont give me advices like buy new screen ect., I only want to now is it possible to fix this in any way, maybe heat it with dryer or something similiar...Im not in opportunity to post picture of it right now, I will do it in next few hours.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks in advance!:cyclops:
P.S. loudspeaker is working again

Remove the glass with a heat gun, clean up and put stick it back with LOCA glue. A tricky operation that may do more harm than good. There are plenty of tutorial on how to do this as is is an cheap way to fix cracked screens ( ex : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_te_pTXJI ).
Maybe just heating it is enough, you may try it, just don't overdo it as too much heat (> 90°C) may damage your screen. An IR thermometer is recommended.
The screen of the my lg g3 Broke
I want to buy original screen of lg... And I want to fix alone, Accompanied by guidance in Web, YouTube or something.
So... has in ebay or aliexpres original Screen for sale?
And what i should order? Just a screen or "touch" also ?
How does it work?
thank you :good:
Its not hard to do. I bought Lcd and front bezel together with screwdrivers and guitar pick for 55eur on eBay
It's obvious a screen that failed lg quality testing as it's a bit imprecise
Grand mostly tho
But do take care with speakers etc
And you'll need a hairdryer
If u have some experience of soldering and know how of internals then go for it otherwise give it some certified technician ... U can damage internals on ur own
Just buy the complete screen assembly from somewhere like etradesupply and swap that out.
Will save you the most headache in the end trust me...
