My Sony z3 screen was broken. I bought a New screen and i replaced it. The problem is that the screen does not show image. The touch screen works, and on the backside of the screen the Light is working. Is there any way to fix this problem?

It's so hot that Youtube and the Camera app closing on me became an everyday thing.

I figured I should reseal the back plate so that waterproofing would work again (with a "back cover" seal sold online). However, I'm also thinking about putting a few layers (or a slightly thick plate) of copper and applying thermal paste/pad over the plate covering the Snapdragon SOC.

Of course, to keep it safe I'll be isolating a few parts of the copper to avoid shorting, but I wonder if this is a good idea? Gonna sell the phone but at least give the phone a bit of hardware fix so it won't toast the new owner's hand.

My mobile is Sony Xperia Z4, the battery was damaged (when reaching 50% or 60%, the mobile was shutdown), so I need to replace my battery (2930 mAh) with Huawei Nova 2 (2950 mAh) and with the same voltage and dimensions (of course I’ll replace my battery adapter with a new battery). Can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

After replacing the LCD, the phone boots and works like it should, the LCD lights up and touch seems to work as well BUT no display (nothing comes up on screen)... went back to check on the motherboard and found this 'melted' component, which I don't know what exactly is or if it is replaceable or not... Help me identify the component =)

I replaced it and it's not charging anymore. Conector seems to work because it makes the sound when connected and PC recognizes it but battery icon does not change to charging status and under batter menu it says "not charging".

Tried with USB and original charger. Both with the same result.

New battery is on 20% charge. I didn't do what the note inside the package says to drain it to 10% and charge it to 100% uninterrupted because of the problem explained above.

I tried putting back the old battery and it's charging OK. I don't have another phone to try the new battery.

What can i do?

My phone has been dropped from my hand. Since then the display went completely black. When I tried to turn on, it makes the vibration as normal Sony phones does. But after couple of seconds just the notification LED blinks RED and the motherboard gets overheated. Sent to a local repair shop, but they couldn't fix it. They put a new display , however still does the same. What is the problem and how it could be fixed?

A few weeks ago, I dropped my phone to a ceramic floor, back side first. After checking the phone, I noticed that the front and back camera wasn't working along with the flash LED.

A check with the Diagnostic menu reports:

1. Rear camera not connected

2. Front camera is blank (No picture but detected by system)

Can this be a camera module problem? What I'm worried about is that some people said it's a hardware problem in the phone's board, however I haven't checked it yet...

I am having a Sony xperia z3 +. I dropped the phone last night and i couldn't switch on the phone then. When i connect it to the wall charger there is no led indicator to show that the phone is charging. when connected to PC doesn't show anything is connected.

Any suggestion?
