<title><![CDATA[sony xperia z4 tablet: LCDs wont work after replacing a cracked one.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys... a friend gave me his xperia z4 to replace the battery. Easy thing... so i ordered a new battery but the devil was in the details... while opening the disaplay with my ifixit tools i cracked the digitizer glass... so i needed to swap it to. the experienced tecs here may know: its a pain in the *ss to replace a digitizer so i bought a whole display für 110 on aliexpress... i even got 2... installed everything and... BLACK SCREEN. Well... got 2nd one you remember? Black Screen... So i took the old working display... nothing... &quot;battery might be bad......&quot; put back in the old one... nothing changes. <br /><br />When i press power i feel the vibration-motor, the power led flahes and i hear some weird 8bit like sounds when pressing the volume control or by touching the display. what have i done... <br /><br />Any suggestions? Bricked?<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Kurz nochmal auf deutsch:</p>

<p>habe beim besagten gerät akku und display tauschen wollen. nach dem wechsel beider komponenten reagiert das gerät zwar auf den power button aber das display bleibt schwarz. auch das alte display, welches nur einen glasbruch hat, bleibt aus. auch wenn ich den alten akku einsetze geht es nicht an. <br />Im hintergrund höre ich wenn ich die wippe drücke merkwürdige 8 bit sounds, auch wenn ich das display etwas mehr in den rahmen drücke. <br /><br />Jetzt habe ich (siehe kommentar) gesehen, dass mindestens 2 Federkontakte beschädigt bzw. einer ganz ab ist. Könnte das der Grund sein oder sind die nur für den wlan empfang?</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>just a quick one. I googled it, youtubed it and no answer... Can't believe there is absolutely no info on internet of how this is done??</p>

<p>People are saying if it isn't on youtube - it doesn't exist</p>

<p>Please if someone could prove me wrong and share a link to a video or tutorial</p>

<p>How to open Xperia Z3 tablet? How to change the cracked screen for example, or how to get to the battery to change it?</p>

<p>I know there's no video tutorials of how it's done, but maybe at least a photo-tutorial or text guide?</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Tablet S: Does anyone have any instructions on how to replace the screen and LCD]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This is a Sony Tablet S SGPT111GB/S. There seems to be a bubble of air between the glass screen and the LCD or it is a separation of the adhesive between them. I have located a replacement unit but there are no fitting instructions. Can get as far as the battery removal with existing Ifixit guides but after that I’ll be guessing, not a good way forward. Can anyone help? Photo attached showing screen problem, anyone else had this issue?</p>

<p>I have a problem with charging circuit.</p>

<p>Firstly i had 5,0 V from the micro usb port (Then it was showing 1,35 Volts on battery + contact - which is low - Should be around 4,3 V?)</p>

<p>I removed the 6031 IC + 8620B0 and now i am getting only 0,7 volts from the micro usb.</p>

<p>Have anyone experienced something similar?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony XPERIA Tablet Z: Need advice with repairing a Sony Xperia Tablet Z2's microUSB port]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Good afternoon! I was hoping to get some help regarding the possibility of me repairing my old Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 ( ignore the chosen device for the question, I picked it because Tablet Z2 wasn’t an option), since most of my devices are 7 years old and most repair people refuse to do anything about them. I do hope my questions are not stupid/ obvious, since I am pretty new to repairing mobile tech and my knowledge of electronics and physics is pretty limited (I am a software developer).</p>

<p>My Tablet Z2 has had a broken microUSB port for several years because the repairs person refused to repair it, saying that trying to repair it will likely break it. Looking back, I wonder if he either witheld something or was just too afraid, because I ended up finding a Tablet Z2 teardown video on the official Sony YT channel where it gets completely disassembled and reassembled, but regardless, my mother (it was her who presented me the tablet and she took it to repairs back then because I was busy in the university) believed him back then and kept yelling at me for even thinking something different ever since. I ended up buying a magnetic docking station for it to bypass the charging problems, and that is how I kept using it for several years, until recently.</p>

<p>Not long ago, the docking station stopped working when I accidentally spilt my coffee on it. Now when I try to place my tablet on it, I no longer feel the clicking sensation that usually allows me to understand that the thing is in place and charging. I came to a conclusion that this must be the problem with the docking station, and while I did manage to find replacement docks on a third-party site, this event made me reconsider the idea of repairing the microUSB port, since there may come a time when I may no longer find any replacement docks out there. While I did find the teardown video I mentioned above, I am quite confused regarding the repair videos and finding the replacement part.</p>

<p>I watched a few repair videos on the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, a previous model from the same line, and they featured the users replacing the broken microUSB port alongside the connector part (or whatever is that yellow thing attached to the metal port called). However, the teardown video I watched does not focus much on the microUSB port (only what is holding it together), and my searches for microUSB ports or repair videos specifically for Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 yield nothing. I also know that the placements of the microUSB port are different for most models in the line (as are the placements of most components), so I can’t just buy a part from another model and put it inside my Z2 tablet. I did manage to find a bunch of different metal USB jacks, including the microUSB one. Which in turn leads me to my first question: is the microUSB jack inseparable from the connector parts? Is it even possible to just grab the metallic part, somehow detach the broken one and reattach the healthy one? Or is there even a connector part in the Z2 tablet? I didn’t notice one in the video, though I do suspect it might have been due to the engineer not focusing on it. What kind of parts exactly should I look for for Z2 in particular?</p>

<p>My second question would be the choice of adhesive. The videos I have watched had people use double-sided tape to apply the new adhesive layer. I wonder if this is the right thing to do it, and if yes, which ones exactly should I be on the lookout for (I see different ones available for purchase, some thicker, but also boasting waterproof qualities, as well as the thinner ones). If not, what exactly should I look for?</p>

<p>Finally, is there anything else you would recommend me to pay attention to? Since I am a newbie in repairs, I suspect there might be something else that I overlooked. I’ve been warned about needing special screwdrivers already, since it seems that manufacturers like to put unique screws into their devices to complicate repairs for people outside the industry, but I bought a few sets of tools for electronics, and I guess I have to open it first to see what exactly I need (since the seems to be painfully few videos about Tablet Z2). What are the other important details in this type of repair that I should know?</p>

<p>Thank you for your help,</p>

<p>Eli</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet: How to separate the screen from the frame?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello I've bought a Z4 tablet from a friend but after using it for a while one part of the screen starts to flicker. Its like its duplicating other parts of the screen into this rectangle wich covers like 1/4 in the lower left. If i turn it off and leave it for a while it dissappears but when I've then used it for a while again it comes back. The longer i use it the more intense the flickering/flashing becomes.  My first thought was that it was software related but I've tried repairing it through xperia companion without succes. I'm now starting to believe its a hardware issue. Im thinking it might be the flex cable that gets some kind of a reaction when the tablet gets warmer. I'm considering to try to open it and replace the flex cable but after searching on the internet it seems to be a big risk that the screen will break and the cost of a new screen assembly is way to high if it does. So the question is could this be a problem of the flex cable and if so what is your advice for separiting it with minimal risk of the glass breaking? I've found a heat pad separator for around 50 $ wich im thinking would help alot and i can have use for it later too but the question is what temperature i should set it to and for how long.</p>

From the little knowledge I have a online research it seems many apps want Android version 4.1 or newer and this tablet has 4.0.3 (release5a). Is there a way to get a more up to date version so more apps can be supported? Many apps in the store say they arent supported by version.</p>

<p>Trying to get this old tablet going for my grandma to use, it's been sitting a while but still works! It is a Sony tablet Model SGPT111US/S</p>
