Sony Ericsson Xperia Play: The screen looks cracked but cannot be felt?

Sun, 05 Aug 2018 18:11:24 -0700

I was making a video when my friend slapped me. The phone ended up flying out of my hands and hitting my car and falling on a concrete driveway. A crack formed and spreaded from the right side of my phone to the top and near the bottom. I am trying to feel it but the screen feels smooth. The phone acts as it would, the screen's LCD still works the touch screen as well. Is there anyway to fix this "crack"?

EDIT: What cracked screen looks like on white bg.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play: How do I replace the micro USB port?

Sun, 25 Jun 2017 15:51:23 -0700

My son wanted a gaming device so he traded for an old Sony Xperia Play. It looks complete and like it should work but it looks like the pins inside micro USB port are broken. We are going to try and connect power with alligator clips to charge it but is there an easy way to fix this?

Is the port a standard part?

I know soldering these is not easy so I may get some help from a friend but if we can do it ourselves it would make a good father-son project.
