To try and resolve the issue. I have replaced the touch screen and the display driver PCB but the screen still isn't working.

I have reseated and checked the hinge flex cable and can't see any obvious signs of damage.

Even though there doesnt seem to be any visible damage to the flex cable could it still be the problem?

Your thoughts and ideas are most welcome.

After checking the ribbon cable with the Digital Multimeter and ordering a new one. The issue has been resolved. Everything is now working well.

I just need a new gasket for around the screen if anyone knows how that's done?

Thank you so much for all your help and special shout out to @jayeff, he has been been amazing 👏👏👏

Hello, my a6400 simply doesn’t turn off, even when I switch to “off“ position, the camera works just fine, the only issue is that I have to take the batery out to turn off the camera.

I suspect that the tiny lever from the flex cable os broken.

I need a step-by-step teardown of this part of the camera, ir order to replace the top flex cable or the whole block if it’s easier, below are the images of the components I need to replace;

So my questions are

1) is the main logic board that needs replacing or can it be something else?

2) can i use parts from a a6000 or a6400?

My Sony A6400 camera screen is not filpping(rotating) in self mode anymore. It is upside down.

Here's a video showing the camera:

I check the tutorials on YouTube where they say I should turn off take the lens out and turn the camera upside down and hit it like once or twice but that didn’t work.I never had a problem with my camera it’s the first time now

I have done a little research and B7000 or T7000 (black) glue seem to be the suggested option for phones, but it does seem a little strong, especially if you need to replace the screen again in the future. I have looked at black Tessa tape, but 1mm seems too wide as it has to sit on a very thin ledge; otherwise, the screen will not sit flat.

It would be great to hear your advice and experience on what's best

I’m having an issue with my Sony A6400 and could really use some advice. The camera refuses to turn on when using the original battery or even a brand-new replacement battery. However, when I connect a dummy battery to a power supply, the camera powers on and works just fine.

1. Tested multiple batteries: I bought a new Sony battery (official), fully charged it, and the issue persists.
2. Checked battery contacts: I cleaned the contacts in the battery compartment and on the battery itself with isopropyl alcohol, but no luck.
3. Battery door: The door seems to close properly, and the latch is functioning as expected.
4. Firmware check: The camera is running the latest firmware.
5. Resetting the camera: I’ve tried removing all power sources and pressing the power button to discharge any internal charge. Didn’t help.

• The dummy battery works flawlessly, which suggests the issue isn’t with the power regulation circuits entirely.
• The problem seems specific to detecting or drawing power from regular batteries.

1. Has anyone encountered a similar issue with their A6400 or another Sony camera?
2. Could this be related to a faulty battery detection circuit inside the camera?
3. Is this a common issue, and if so, does Sony typically cover it under warranty (even if it’s expired)?

I’m trying to figure out if I should send it in for repairs or if there’s something else I can try first. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
