just replace the screen ?

I have a question regarding the Sony Xperia Z.

The Xperia Z seems to always notify me that it has a headphone connected while it has nothing in there.

The little flap/cover is broken off from the frame, wich is something i have to mention, so it does notify about the phone not being waterproof.

When i use SoundAbout and rearrange the sound output i can call and hear everything just fine. When i disable the app, i have to use the headphones with mic to be able to call or the phone will not use the earspeaker or bottom mic.

What i wonder is, even after a complete factory reset aswell as disconnecting the headphone jack from the motherboard, the phone still notifies about the headphones being plugged in when the phone boots into android.

What i would like to know is, can this be a motherboard sensor failure, or does this have to do with the fact that the flap is broken off too?

What i tried:

• Factory Reset.
• Jack unplugged on motherboard.
• Playing music while having the jack plugged and then unplug while playing.
• Force stop "Smart Connect", cleaning cache and data.

I cannot seem to find what the cause is, im beginning to think that either some circuit is messed up on the motherboard itself or that the flap/cover is the cause.

I hope somebody can help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

So I decided to recover it through the Sony companion app. I did it many times because it never became usable but it turned black and now it doesn't show anything on the display and it isn't recognized anymore by Sony companion because it doesn't boot in download mode.

It can also be that it is dead in the middle of a recover done through Sony companion.

Now, if I connect it to the charger (or to the pc), it shows the red led for a while and it turns off. It seems that the phone “turns on internally” and then it turns off the red led.

If someone knows what is the problem and can help me, thanks.

I have a problem with my phone C6603, don't play any sounds on loud speaker.

I change a speaker and a flex cable and nothing, in earspekers i have a sound.

I change a mother board from other Xperia Z and sound works. Does anybody have a service manual or now how to repair this? It's definitly hardware problems, i flash every possible firmware and nothing change.

Sorry for bad English.

The issue now is that when the phone boots up, the screen just produces a little feint light and nothing else. The touch screen works now, I can hear it.

The weird thing is that if we boot it up with the old screen instead, unplug it and switch to the new one after it has opened it works fine. If the phone is shut down again the problem recurs.

We are fairly certain that this isn't a hardware issue, but if it is please tell me.
