Sony Xperia XZ1: Can plastic parts on top and bottom be replaced?

I dropped the phone on asphalt, plastic parts on top and bottom were damaged. Can they be replaced without disassembling the whole phone? Will it influence on the water resistance?

Sony Xperia XZ1: [Xperia XZ1 G8342] Phone overheated and doesn't turn on at all

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 09:56:53 -0700

I literally made an account here because I've given up searching. A brief context, I was ordering food on my phone and noticed it was 15% -- No big deal, just charge it right? after charging the phone overheated very quickly, I unplugged (its still alive) and cooled it by just putting a damp cloth on the back side. Once it cooled off, I plugged it in and it dropped from 15% down to 3% then completely blanked.

Went to a repair shop and they deem its a dead battery, but they had no available stock locally. They have to order it from a different state (im not from the US.) which they have mentioned will take 3 weeks and their process was ass. I went around to another shop and this guy mentioned that it isn't battery but possibly my motherboard. I kinda shrug it off and was hoping it was my battery only as its an easy fix. Plus he was the odd suggestion after asking 5 more shops, so I leaned on the battery fix.

Got home and ordered it online myself. I waited 1.5 weeks for the replacement battery, oh my phone worked when I plugged the new battery in BUT --> it overheated yet again, didn't even turned it on. I decided to just let it rest on the table. Came back to it (like barely 10mins?) and its very cool now, no signs of life at all. Man, I just wanna get my files out of here and buy a new one :(

The files is what really matters to me. I'd do anything to fix it as long its not an astounding price tag.

Sony Xperia XZ1: Can the adhesive strip that holds the screen on be replaced?

Wed, 25 Dec 2019 03:47:44 -0700

I was wondering if the adhesive strip that holds the screen down that you have to heat to remove is replaceable as mine is a bit out of shape. If so where would I buy one?

Sony Xperia XZ1: Dead Sony Xperia XZ1

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:54:48 -0700

I have an Sony Xperia that is dead. I have a lot of experience on microsoldering and reapair iPhone motherbaords but have never done Xperia motherboards. So. This is not turning on, PS showing jumping amps (0.01-0.12). I have a good known board so I wrote up diode modes of FPC’s from it. I noticed that two pins are shorted on charging FPC on this dead board (in picture red circle). In good board these pins give diode mode about 0.290. Here are pictures of that FPC. Can you help to find where the problem is? I have removed PMI8998 (charging ic or power ic?) but the short is still there. In paper here are diode readings from good board. Not gonna move to board swap just yet. Thank you guys for help.
