+Vaibhav Chauhan (Himalayan Wanderer) _- My Sony z ultra has a visible crack on its touch screen. The phone powers on and display is normal. But touch screen not working. Do I need to only get the touch screen digitilizer replaced? Does this means the LCD panel inside is in damaged and need no replacement?_ - The LCD display and the touch screen are glued. It's difficult to separate them and requires experience and dexterity. There are a high risk to broke the LCD. But you can try before ordering the spare part. At worst case you will buy full display assembly. Replacing a display assembly is much easier.
Thank you so much for this video, the screen of my phone stopped working and i needed to know the proper way to remove and replace the components and you have helped me a lot. But some advise would be..... you need to change your background music, i actually muted my laptop it was too painful :P
Thank you Abduljebar Attab. Now I really want to change the music but the clip is ~7 min and with UA-cam AudioSwap, the choice for this length is Beethoven, Rossini, Offenbach, Liszt ... I like classical music, but I can't use it for this video :(
to Aldair Mora You can find it in the eBay or other online shop. But I'm thinking you must go to mobile phone service. You can't be sure that the problem with the lights is into the LCD display. If the problem is wit the mother board, in one moment you will have 2x working displays and 1x not working phone.
David Wang - Hello, quick question, is everything glued or taped down, and if I did replace the digitizer, will it still be waterproof? - To replace only the Glass you must have a special equipment and a very high experience. - If you replace the Display Assembly (Touchscreen & LCD Display) you must buy a good quality adhesive stickers for the model (you can see them at the beginning) if you want your phone to be again water resistant. - Most easily is if you order the complete spare part - Touchscreen + LCD Display + Frame. Then you must to transfer the Logic board, battery and some flex cables, small elements and the back cover.
how to differentiate between the pair of original lcd and ts of sony z3 with the fake one? i wanna replace mine, is there any spesific sign or something
+Galuh Charinnisa It's not easy to find an original display, and the price will be very high. Also some sellers describe the spare parts like original that are not original. When I buy a spare part from eBay I have this principle - seller with a minimum 99% feedback and more then 10K deals. The spare parts are guaranteed original only in authorized repair centers.
Hi Bro... This is an awesome video. I dropped my phone on floor, small pieces went out of touch pad. So my touch pad is not working. but display looks perfect. What should i do next? What should i buy? Is Touch Digitizer Screen replacement is enough?
its too hard to disasembly digitizer and lcd (thats why nothing on video) probably you broke lcd when you try. change complete lcd digitizer with glued lcd
great video, thank you so much for your making this video.i have 1 question,i did not see how you assembled a back cover.did you use extra glue to attach it on back or it is not necessary?and also a water shield rubber comes with lcd ?please reply me as soon as possible ..thanks once again
Dinesh Regmi About the back cover - I pulled it carefully and kept the tape in good condition, then I used the same. About the LCD - the part became without adhesive tape. I used 3M double side adhesive tape. But if you want to keep the waterproof, use adhesive tape like this: www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Tools-Front-Back-Sticker-Tape-Glue-Adhesive-For-LCD-Touch-Screen-Sony-Z1-Z2-/251688843566?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3a99d2f92e I choose the link randomly.
Hello, quick question, is everything glued or taped down, and if I did replace the digitizer, will it still be waterproof? Sorry if you have to answer these questions again.
Is there any double side tape to paste the LCD+Digitizer to base to keep it waterproof? Please name one! 3M double side adhesive tape will work?? will it be waterproof still?
You must buy adhesive sticker especially for the model. Take a look at this video in the beginning: ua-cam.com/video/qgkuhEw-CtQ/v-deo.html There are 2x adhesive stickers, for the Display assembly and for the back cover.
Hello ZFix really good video helping a lot - thank you very much!

Do you have any idea about the reason, the error etc.?

Thanks for the video ... just a quick question... I damaged my LCD cable while changing battery. Is it possible just change the LCD screen flex cable instead the of whole screen ?
Hi, I have one Xperia Z3 with the digitizer broken, I can change this by other digitizer or I need buy the LCD also? Because the LCD work perf perfectly. Thank you if you can help me. Greetings from Panama.
Carlos Eduardo Fernandez V. The LCD Display and the Touchscreen are glued. To separate them you must have a special equipment and a lot of experience. This can be done only by a specialist.
Man you are rough on those repairs! But the thing is why did you mess with the top portion of the phone you could've left all that intact and not risk any damage to the logic board?
apllDgrapllD I prefer to remove all parts from inside (especially motherboard) to safe them because I am heating the touchscreen and because when I removing the screen the front bezel is under pressure. Really, I don't want to be rough with this good phone. :)
Thanks you so much sir for your reply. I am sorry i have one more question i hope you wont mind to reply me. I changed the lcd with touch screen but i could not see pictures on the screen . Only back light. Actually it was working when i connect the lcd first time ,i saw the sony logo and all pictures .but later i connect the digitizer connector to lcd and after that picture doesn't appeared any more just a back light. Sleep awake button works fine. Can you please tell me why did i get that problem and is there any way to fix it?
Dinesh Regmi Check the connector between the LCD and mobo (2:27) for damaged pins, check the flex cable for damage, check the small connector at the begging of the flex cable between the flex and the digitizer (at 4:12, down side of the cable there are two connectors).
ZFix thak you once again sir.i checked all the connector and they looks fine.yesterday i tried once again and i found that lcd and digitizer works fine for few seconds but picture fades suddenly and only dim light stay on lcd.,to get the pictures on lcd i have to press sleep awake button again .and every time i press sleep button to unlock phone i can use it for 4,5 sec .and when i try to use camera or any thing else the pictures disappears suddenly.i would be really thank full to you if you can tell me why this problem is causing on my phone. and one more question..i found different names like LT36i, C6603,L36h,C6602, are they different phone on sony xperia z or they are same and lcd for them is similar?,i know my phone is sony xperia z but i do not know what exactly is a model number like L36i,C6603 etc .how can i find a exact model? hope you do not mind to reply me again.
This looks like a problem with the spare parts. Did you have this problem before? About the models, C6603 is LTE variant with different frequency at 3G networks. L36H is Asian variant. I'm in Europe and we use LT36i variant. But according to the description of traders, the Touchscreen & Display are the same for all of them.
if I need to change only the Touch, I would need to remove all the components like the video? My screen broke and the touch does not work but lcd works perfectly
Yes, you must follow the same way. But separating the Touch screen and the LCD display is very hard operation. You must have good experience and a special equipment or you will broke your LCD display.
Zeb Hopper I prefer 3M, but you can order exactly for the model like this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Front-Adhesive-Glue-Sticker-Tape-For-Sony-Xperia-Z-L36H-L36i-LT36i-/221517597989?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item33937a4d25
My Sony z ultra has a visible crack on its touch screen. The phone powers on and display is normal. But touch screen not working. Do I need to only get the touch screen digitilizer replaced? Does this means the LCD panel inside is in damaged and need no replacement?
Hello ZFix, how do you put the glass back on? You heat the plastic again and just put it in or? I have some water in my camera lens and i need to wipe it..
You mean back / battery cover and main camera? Remove the cover again and then test the camera (just to be sure that the problem is on back cover). If the problem remains you have to replace the camera. The camera is encapsulated. Of course you can try to clean the camera lens from the outside but is unlikely to help you. Also do a factory reset (safe your data first) if the problem is from app.
Hi, my device's screen went black after having taken some underwater photos. It works properly (photos, internet, etc...) but the screen is black. I can "use" it, because when using a very intense light I can see th graphic interface. I read somewhere that it might be the LCD LED IC (intensity controller, I guess), and I also found for sale what it seems to be the replacement for it.. Any idea of how to change this part? Thx
Great video, but i have one problem. I replaced the screen successfully, in spite of that, the picrophone not work at all. So i thought that was my wrong that i broke the flex cable, so i replaced it but the microphone is still not working. Hopeless i began to look for the answer in many blogs, there were many people with the same problem but nobody knows what´s happening with the fu***ing microphone. I decided to look for here, help me if you know something about this. Thanks.
Марко Борсук Петрович I have never had a problem like this. Do you have a sound when you make video? Can you check the microphone hole through the frame. Maybe you put by mistake adhesive tape on the mic hole at the font side.
how do you replace the removed parts back .?? like the metal strip... you use superglue ...or do they just fit in place?? my screen broke the other day, touch wont work , service centre wont repair it :'-(
For the small elements inside, like loudspeaker / antenna assembly you can use existing, but for the screen assembly and the back / battery cover you must use new. Is good to by adhesive stickers just for the model.
Hey!! I have sony xperia z which has a broken touch screen but the display is working fine. But there are 2 black spots on the display on which the time is displayed. So im confused only the touch screen is broken or both touch and lcd? Please do reply and Thank you :)
+Santosh S Gowda The black spots are display problem. Also you can't change only the glass. The Digitizer and the display are glued> For a separating you need special tools and a lot of experience. Even for an expert, this task is not very easy.
I accidentally unplugged the LCD from the board while it's still on, and I re attached it now the screen is not working although I unplugged it earlier but the phone is off and I turn it on and it works just fine but then I the accident happens I tried turning it off again and removing the battery and returned the battery and turn it on but still the screen is not working I can just hear the audio which proves that the phone is on but not the screen, xperia z too BTW.
Hi, i send my Xperia Z5 to repair the screen and they try with 2 different screens but when i turn it on the screen no show image, its only black, but the touch and all works well, what can be happened?
Carlos Gonzalez Yes, must be the same. C6606 is Xperia Z 4G LTE, T-Mobile. I checked the suppliers and they offer the same spare part for C6602, C6603 and C6606.
donde consigo la,pantalla? yo tengo uno, se cayó y desde entonces solo se ve si se le refleja luz sobre la pantalla, sirve el touch y todas sus funciones, pero necesita de luz para que se pueda ver el contenido :'(
yasu File, Hey, what is the point of uscrewing the motherboard, I was just wondering because I see it is done on every vid I watch, The tape goes in the lower part. I am asking because in day or two I will do same job with my Z
Quetal yo le cambie la pantalla al sony xperia z y funciona vien lo que pasa que la pantalla hay ratos como que se vuelve loca como si se estubiera oprimiendo la pantalla o el touch abre muchas aplicaciones como si se estubiera usando ya e probado con barias pantalla y siempre hace lo mismo muchas gracias por su tiempo espero su respuesta.
I have an xperia z ultra and the screen cracked and messed up the digitizer but the screen has random spasms and goes crazy without me doing anything, will that still affect it in any way? And how much would it cost?
DiabolicalMinds Check the coaxial antenna cable connector to the Main board (3:17 in red circle) and other side of the cable to the small antenna board (4:12). Check this small board for damage. There are two gold pins. They need to contact with the antenna, which is part of the loudspeaker module.
Do you change the coaxial cable too? Check for damaged small elements near to the connector on the mother board. You have a weak signal or no signal? Go in Settings > More...> Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to "GSM only".

Hi, in many responses to viewers you have said that replacing the digitizer is very difficult and needs special tools, but isn't that what you are showing in this video, at approx. 5 mins 18 secs? Isn't that separation of the digitizer from the front of the phone?
Hmmm ... but at 5 mins 18 secs I see you peeling off a clear front piece from the phone - and the LCD is still sitting in the main frame of the phone? Or is that front part just a glass plate and the digitizer is still stuck on the LCD?
Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I now understand your reply, can also see the LCD/digitizer a bit more clearly when you are re-assembling the phone.
Hey, I have a Z3 compact and the touch function is not working, I mean, I can see the screen perfectly but when I touch it, it doesnt work. What should I replace??
This model is water proof - the LCD display and the touch screen are glued. You cave to change display assembly (LCD display and touchscreen together).
hi, i have sony xperia z and its touch is not working as it fell down the ground very hard along with me on it and even its screen got a crack. can i know the cost of repair please?
Ajmal Naim You can found touch screen for around 15 - 20 euro. But separating LCD display from the touch screen is very hard operation, and you need a special tools and very good experience to do this.
+José Manuel Henríquez Morán - hey i am about to repair my xperia Z1 your video is amazing. I have a question. After the replacement my xperia Z1 still will be water proof? - You have to use special hight quality adhesive stickers to attach the display assembly and the battery cover like in this video for Xperia Z2: ua-cam.com/video/qgkuhEw-CtQ/v-deo.html
hello, my xperia z isn't charging unless when the battery drains out completely to 0 and shuts down automatically, then when i plug the charger it starts to charge the phone. what is the problem?
Farhaaz EMz I guess I already tried another charger and adapter. Try Factory rest or reflash it with Sony PC Companion. If the problem is with the Android OS, this will fix it (safe your data first). Then you have to try another battery. It's not easy to find another battery for test, but you have to understand where is the problem - the battery or mainboard.
You can separate carefully the display assembly from the frame and save the LCD display, but you can't separate the glass from it. To separate the glass from the LCD display you must have special equipment and good experience.
arlan lima This is very hard operation. You must to reheat the touch screen and the LCD display and separate them with tiny molybdenum wire. Without a special equipment this is very, very hard. There are videos with this procedure. You can found videos with the same procedure for iPhone 4/4S and Samsung Galaxy S2/S3... But there is a high risk to broke the LCD display. Don't try this without experience. And be ready to buy the complete spare part.
Hi, i have water damage problem with my xperia z Power is on, led light on, but the lcd is blank. I already bring it to sony center, but they cant fix it because its because machine problem -_-
Do really have to remove all the top components camera lens etc. to replace screen? In the video it looks like the only things that need removing are the bottom black bar and battery.
PC Gaming and Entertainment Yes, you are right. You can do this without removing the logic board. The board is removed easily so I prefer to pull it out to protect it from damage. Another reason is that as I disassemble top of the phone, I can show to the viewers the location of other elements (as earpiece, camera, etc.).
Cool thanks Im thinking of doing this myself as the repair shop is charging $350 and that's not far off a 2nd hand Z1 just a bit worried about the tape and adhesive side of things, also where can I find one of those mini plungers?
You can find this on eBay or Amazon. You can find them like: Plastic opening pick, plastic opening spudger, suction cup opening tool (plastic opening tool kit set), xperia z adhesive sticker. Work slowly, this procedure is very difficult and risky.
I removed the touchscreen digitizer and I tried to turn it on without it but it only shows white. like all white at all no picture no nothing. why is that happening? does the digitizer shows the graphics?
I bought SONY Z2A from DUBAI. It's really a great phone to use. But it got crack on screen and I am looking for the display and touch folder in INDIA . Please help me out..
Nick ketting Is the phone power on? Is the PC recognize your phone when you connect it with the USB cable? The micro USB connector is soldered to the mother board. Use a magnifying glass and inspect it (for broken or unsoldered pins, broken elements around the connector...).
For replacing only the touchscreen you need very good experience and special tools. You can't do this alone. Replacing the complete spare part - Touchscreen & LCD display is more easy but again you must have some experience. Don't do this if you haven't experience.
ZFix Will practice on my Z1. Just bought the item from Ebay. Btw can I just go to the glass or I should really open it. Btw im a banker. so I have no Idea.
mrgoodf50 There is Sony logo under the black spot on the screen protector, but yes, this is not original part. Nevertheless, this part is of height quality.
It's very hard to find really original part. Everyone supplier advertise his parts like original. I have some suppliers with which I work for years and I trust them. Surely, original spare part you can find in Sony authorized service, they will also give you a warranty for a new replacement part. Of course, this is for a higher price.
fuck dude ur right i just went to sony service customer they said for repair and replace the whole screen for 800 s.r saudi ryial thats mean around 300$ fuck aint pay for that its like new found but i find aother shops who reapir for 100$ which cheap price
+Xhevahir Sulaj You can do this without removing the logic board, but be careful while you separating the display, don't break something from the board..

Check the connector between the LCD and mobo (2:27) for damaged pins, check the flex cable for damage, check the small connector at the begging of the flex cable between the flex and the digitizer (at 4:12, down side of the cable there are two connectors).
ZFix thak you once again sir.i checked all the connector and they looks fine.yesterday i tried once again and i found that lcd and digitizer works fine for few seconds but picture fades suddenly and only dim light stay on lcd.,to get the pictures on lcd i have to press sleep awake button again .and every time i press sleep button to unlock phone i can use it for 4,5 sec .and when i try to use camera or any thing else the pictures disappears suddenly.i would be really thank full to you if you can tell me why this problem is causing on my phone. and one more question..i found different names like LT36i, C6603,L36h,C6602, are they different phone on sony xperia z or they are same and lcd for them is similar?,i know my phone is sony xperia z but i do not know what exactly is a model number like L36i,C6603 etc .how can i find a exact model? hope you do not mind to reply me again.
This looks like a problem with the spare parts. Did you have this problem before?
About the models, C6603 is LTE variant with different frequency at 3G networks. L36H is Asian variant. I'm in Europe and we use LT36i variant. But according to the description of traders, the Touchscreen & Display are the same for all of them.
if I need to change only the Touch, I would need to remove all the components like the video? My screen broke and the touch does not work but lcd works perfectly
Yes, you must follow the same way. But separating the Touch screen and the LCD display is very hard operation. You must have good experience and a special equipment or you will broke your LCD display.
Did you reapply a new adhesive kit?
In this video I used standard 3mm adhesive tape but it's more good to use adhesive sticker tape specifically for the model.
Thanks. Ordering the kit today. Great video by the way.
I just removed my screen and I am ready to put the new one on but what about the adhesive? Can I use any type or is it one you prefer?
Zeb Hopper I prefer 3M, but you can order exactly for the model like this:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Front-Adhesive-Glue-Sticker-Tape-For-Sony-Xperia-Z-L36H-L36i-LT36i-/221517597989?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item33937a4d25
Can I replace only the digitizer without the display?
My Sony z ultra has a visible crack on its touch screen. The phone powers on and display is normal. But touch screen not working. Do I need to only get the touch screen digitilizer replaced? Does this means the LCD panel inside is in damaged and need no replacement?
Hello ZFix, how do you put the glass back on? You heat the plastic again and just put it in or? I have some water in my camera lens and i need to wipe it..
Ivan Bolf
I put a new adhesive 3M, 3mm. It's better to use adhesive sticker, made for the model.
In that time I have not found one.
I open it and the one used in the factory is good enough to stick it back.. But the came lens is still blurry, do you have any idea how to remove it?
You mean back / battery cover and main camera?
Remove the cover again and then test the camera (just to be sure that the problem is on back cover). If the problem remains you have to replace the camera. The camera is encapsulated.
Of course you can try to clean the camera lens from the outside but is unlikely to help you.
Also do a factory reset (safe your data first) if the problem is from app.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, my device's screen went black after having taken some underwater photos. It works properly (photos, internet, etc...) but the screen is black. I can "use" it, because when using a very intense light I can see th graphic interface. I read somewhere that it might be the LCD LED IC (intensity controller, I guess), and I also found for sale what it seems to be the replacement for it.. Any idea of how to change this part? Thx
I will try to find service manual and I will check where is the light i.c.
ZFix Thx, time ago I found it for Xperia SP, but not this time.
Great video, but i have one problem. I replaced the screen successfully, in spite of that, the picrophone not work at all. So i thought that was my wrong that i broke the flex cable, so i replaced it but the microphone is still not working. Hopeless i began to look for the answer in many blogs, there were many people with the same problem but nobody knows what´s happening with the fu***ing microphone. I decided to look for here, help me if you know something about this. Thanks.
Марко Борсук Петрович
I have never had a problem like this. Do you have a sound when you make video?
Can you check the microphone hole through the frame. Maybe you put by mistake adhesive tape on the mic hole at the font side.
Is the same difficulty as the iphone 4?
how do you replace the removed parts back .?? like the metal strip...
you use superglue ...or do they just fit in place??
my screen broke the other day, touch wont work , service centre wont repair it
:'-(
Maidenize666
I just fit them. But why does the service center not want to repair it?!?
ZFix What do you mean fit them is tape needed or are you able to use existing / old tape?
For the small elements inside, like loudspeaker / antenna assembly you can use existing, but for the screen assembly and the back / battery cover you must use new.
Is good to by adhesive stickers just for the model.
Hopefully I can find some stickers for model but if not what is a good alternative?
You can use 3M adhesive tape 3 mm, but not the same lake adhesive sticker. It's easy to find stickers in eBay.
Hey!! I have sony xperia z which has a broken touch screen but the display is working fine. But there are 2 black spots on the display on which the time is displayed. So im confused only the touch screen is broken or both touch and lcd?
Please do reply and Thank you :)
+Santosh S Gowda
The black spots are display problem.
Also you can't change only the glass. The Digitizer and the display are glued> For a separating you need special tools and a lot of experience. Even for an expert, this task is not very easy.
I accidentally unplugged the LCD from the board while it's still on, and I re attached it now the screen is not working although I unplugged it earlier but the phone is off and I turn it on and it works just fine but then I the accident happens I tried turning it off again and removing the battery and returned the battery and turn it on but still the screen is not working I can just hear the audio which proves that the phone is on but not the screen, xperia z too BTW.
where can i buy the parts??
One doubt, please reply my sony fully collapsed , display broken, in screen its showing like bar graph, by ur procedure i can clear that problem
Fantastic tutorial ,thanks!!
ZFix how much does digitizer cost?
Hi, i send my Xperia Z5 to repair the screen and they try with 2 different screens but when i turn it on the screen no show image, its only black, but the touch and all works well, what can be happened?
Is the lt36i lcd different from c6606 lcd???
Carlos Gonzalez
Yes, must be the same. C6606 is Xperia Z 4G LTE, T-Mobile. I checked the suppliers and they offer the same spare part for C6602, C6603 and C6606.
ZFix hello, dear technician , do you need cellphone accessory ? our shop
www.aliexpress.com/store/1212084
donde consigo la,pantalla?
yo tengo uno, se cayó y desde entonces solo se ve si se le refleja luz sobre la pantalla, sirve el touch y todas sus funciones, pero necesita de luz para que se pueda ver el contenido :'(
My mobile above site screen not work how I repair it
Will this procedure erase/corrupt the data from the phone?
+Khai Lex
No
I have problem in my xperia z when display cable is removed charging light is showing if i connect light off
Is it something with display cable
yasu File,
Hey, what is the point of uscrewing the motherboard, I was just wondering because I see it is done on every vid I watch,
The tape goes in the lower part. I am asking because in day or two I will do same job with my Z
Filip C
I prefer to remove the main-board to be sure. Until I separate the screen, I can twist the frame and this will damage the mobo.
can i change the screen without damaging the frame? is it possible?
naimniam Yes, on this video you can see how we separate the LCD&Touchscreen from the frame.
Quetal yo le cambie la pantalla al sony xperia z y funciona vien lo que pasa que la pantalla hay ratos como que se
vuelve loca como si se estubiera oprimiendo la pantalla o el touch abre muchas aplicaciones como si se estubiera usando ya e probado con barias pantalla y siempre hace lo mismo
muchas gracias por su tiempo espero su respuesta.
As I understand, your touchscreen go crazy from time to time. Try first factory reset (save your important data before do this).
I have an xperia z ultra and the screen cracked and messed up the digitizer but the screen has random spasms and goes crazy without me doing anything, will that still affect it in any way? And how much would it cost?
Jaime Domingo
You can find it on eBay, the prices are from 170USD and up.
hello, dear , do you need cellphone accessory ? our shop
www.aliexpress.com/store/1212084
!!! The procedure is very hard. You must have experience to do this.
Can i just go by your instructions i cannot afford to pay someone to do this. i rather risk it and be careful with this.
hello, after replacing the digitizer and lcd i now have no netowk signal whatsoever, any suggestions?
DiabolicalMinds
Check the coaxial antenna cable connector to the Main board (3:17 in red circle) and other side of the cable to the small antenna board (4:12). Check this small board for damage. There are two gold pins. They need to contact with the antenna, which is part of the loudspeaker module.
ZFix yeah i ckecked those, they were knackered so i bought a replacement part fitted it and still no luck
Do you change the coaxial cable too?
Check for damaged small elements near to the connector on the mother board.
You have a weak signal or no signal?
Go in Settings > More...> Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to "GSM only".
Hello, you know where I can buy the screen online?, amazon?, ebay?, where else?, where do you buy it?, thanks.
www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=sony+xperia+z+C6603+frame&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=sony+xperia+z+C6603+display+touch+screen+&_sacat=0
there's a link, but you have to enter your phone model, my is C6603, thats why I put this link... And if your somewhere in America just use .com instead .uk
hm is the replacement sir?
Hi, in many responses to viewers you have said that replacing the digitizer is very difficult and needs special tools, but isn't that what you are showing in this video, at approx. 5 mins 18 secs? Isn't that separation of the digitizer from the front of the phone?
Vinay Shah
No, this video is for replacing the LCD Display & Touch screen - complete spare part.
Hmmm ... but at 5 mins 18 secs I see you peeling off a clear front piece from the phone - and the LCD is still sitting in the main frame of the phone? Or is that front part just a glass plate and the digitizer is still stuck on the LCD?
Vinay Shah
I separate the LCD and the digitizer (together) from the frame.
The black thing on the frame (5:28) is a black pad under the LCD.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I now understand your reply, can also see the LCD/digitizer a bit more clearly when you are re-assembling the phone.
Hey, I have a Z3 compact and the touch function is not working, I mean, I can see the screen perfectly but when I touch it, it doesnt work. What should I replace??
This model is water proof - the LCD display and the touch screen are glued. You cave to change display assembly (LCD display and touchscreen together).
where can I but the screen for my Sony xperia z ultra?
+Gera Colin
I buy spare parts from eBay or Amazon.
whether lcd and touchscreen 1 set
hi,
i have sony xperia z and its touch is not working as it fell down the ground very hard along with me on it and even its screen got a crack. can i know the cost of repair please?
MegaWorld777
You must check in local services.
Many smartphones Xperia Z with cracked screens. After repair, buy a good case - cover for the phone.
Bro do you have the screen of sony xperia
usually, how much it cost to change the touch screen? not the lcd display.. tell me please
Ajmal Naim You can found touch screen for around 15 - 20 euro. But separating LCD display from the touch screen is very hard operation, and you need a special tools and very good experience to do this.
+José Manuel Henríquez Morán
- hey i am about to repair my xperia Z1 your video is amazing. I have a question. After the replacement my xperia Z1 still will be water proof?
- You have to use special hight quality adhesive stickers to attach the display assembly and the battery cover like in this video for Xperia Z2:
ua-cam.com/video/qgkuhEw-CtQ/v-deo.html
And do I really need to remove the digitizer?
Sir isala touch kaha milega
hello, my xperia z isn't charging unless when the battery drains out completely to 0 and shuts down automatically, then when i plug the charger it starts to charge the phone. what is the problem?
Farhaaz EMz I guess I already tried another charger and adapter.
Try Factory rest or reflash it with Sony PC Companion. If the problem is with the Android OS, this will fix it (safe your data first).
Then you have to try another battery. It's not easy to find another battery for test, but you have to understand where is the problem - the battery or mainboard.
muy bueno ese trabajo
Is this same cover for G2299 model
Do i have to destroy the old screen?
You can separate carefully the display assembly from the frame and save the LCD display, but you can't separate the glass from it.
To separate the glass from the LCD display you must have special equipment and good experience.
A mobile repair shop owner told me it takes 15 hours to replace LCD and digitizer of xperia Z , lol he did'nt seen this video for sure
i have a question?
is this the original lcd or china made??
Ahmed Abd
This is not original, good quality.
ZFix thx!! but what about the quality, resolution and brightens like the original or different ??
The resolution and the brightest are the same. I tested the phone after, for ~30 minutes and everything seems OK.
hello is gone still be water proof?
No.
OH AMIGO O TOUCH QUE VC TROCOU JA VEIO GRUDADO O TOUH E O LCD?
The touch screen and the LCD display are stuck together.
tem como desgrudar o touch do lcd? ja como o do cliente deu problema só no touch.
arlan lima This is very hard operation. You must to reheat the touch screen and the LCD display and separate them with tiny molybdenum wire. Without a special equipment this is very, very hard. There are videos with this procedure. You can found videos with the same procedure for iPhone 4/4S and Samsung Galaxy S2/S3... But there is a high risk to broke the LCD display. Don't try this without experience. And be ready to buy the complete spare part.
Hi, i have water damage problem with my xperia z
Power is on, led light on, but the lcd is blank.
I already bring it to sony center, but they cant fix it because its because machine problem -_-
Syarif Hidayatullah
Most often if the problem is hardware (main board), it can't be fixed.
screen is genuine or OEM?
In this video - not original spare part.
Do really have to remove all the top components camera lens etc. to replace screen? In the video it looks like the only things that need removing are the bottom black bar and battery.
PC Gaming and Entertainment
Yes, you are right. You can do this without removing the logic board.
The board is removed easily so I prefer to pull it out to protect it from damage.
Another reason is that as I disassemble top of the phone, I can show to the viewers the location of other elements (as earpiece, camera, etc.).
Cool thanks Im thinking of doing this myself as the repair shop is charging $350 and that's not far off a 2nd hand Z1 just a bit worried about the tape and adhesive side of things, also where can I find one of those mini plungers?
You can find this on eBay or Amazon.
You can find them like:
Plastic opening pick, plastic opening spudger, suction cup opening tool (plastic opening tool kit set), xperia z adhesive sticker.
Work slowly, this procedure is very difficult and risky.
Sony xperia f3216 display touch screen is price
bro i need the screen
i can't find it
if you have an extra then tell me i'll give the money and buy it
I removed the touchscreen digitizer and I tried to turn it on without it but it only shows white. like all white at all no picture no nothing. why is that happening? does the digitizer shows the graphics?
Valen Bantay
Which model is your XPERIA?
sony xperia z
Valen Bantay
Maybe the display is damaged during the separation procedure.
You have to find another display for test.
I don't think I damaged it, there were no cracks. is the LCD and touchscreen different?
The digitizer is a thin flexible film, glued to the front glass and the LCD display. You can see it by following the ribbon touch screen cable.
I bought SONY Z2A from DUBAI. It's really a great phone to use.
But it got crack on screen and I am looking for the display and touch folder in INDIA .
Please help me out..
You can search for them on ebay or what ever alternative there is in India. Maybe try a computer part store to look for one. They go for cheap $30
After I changed the screen,my phone does not charge anymore! How Can I solve this?
Nick ketting Can you check the battery flex cable connector - 01:10
The battery flex cable is connected. Do I need to buy a new battery? Maybe I damaged the battery?
Nick ketting Is the phone power on?
Is the PC recognize your phone when you connect it with the USB cable?
The micro USB connector is soldered to the mother board. Use a magnifying glass and inspect it (for broken or unsoldered pins, broken elements around the connector...).
how much it cost??
pls tell??
You can found it for around 80-100 euro, and the complete spare part with a frame 100-120 euro
ZFix I broke my touchscreen but the LCD display is untouched, how much would it cost to repair?+/- great video
For replacing only the touchscreen you need very good experience and special tools. You can't do this alone. Replacing the complete spare part - Touchscreen & LCD display is more easy but again you must have some experience. Don't do this if you haven't experience.
thank you
will you fix my phone for me? kidding :)
Mike Sampaton :)
ZFix Will practice on my Z1. Just bought the item from Ebay. Btw can I just go to the glass or I should really open it. Btw im a banker. so I have no Idea.
Mike Sampaton I recommend you to disassemble it. During the operation there is risk to damage the board.
yea but not origianl the screen theres no sony logo on it ?
mrgoodf50
There is Sony logo under the black spot on the screen protector, but yes, this is not original part. Nevertheless, this part is of height quality.
ok what should those buy those or original parts or should repair it in sony customer service ??
It's very hard to find really original part. Everyone supplier advertise his parts like original. I have some suppliers with which I work for years and I trust them. Surely, original spare part you can find in Sony authorized service, they will also give you a warranty for a new replacement part. Of course, this is for a higher price.
fuck dude ur right i just went to sony service customer they said for repair and replace the whole screen for 800 s.r saudi ryial thats mean around 300$ fuck aint pay for that its like new found but i find aother shops who reapir for 100$ which cheap price
:)
tnxxxxxx bro
why remove the Motherboard?
+Xhevahir Sulaj
You can do this without removing the logic board, but be careful while you separating the display, don't break something from the board..
super!!!
if digitizer are broken lcd is broken
Yes, this is one part Touchscreen + Display. Separation is very difficult and you need special expansive tools and experience to do it
I Just paid mine twice £200 for the scren and now.. Scren doesnt work wth.. U could repair mine.. X
Elvio Gomes
I suppose that we are very far from each other. :)
You do not have any warranty from the repair service?

to much work i'll just buy a new phone if my screen damage
rorry smith :)
Might as well just buy a whole new phone. It's not going to be water proof anymore.😐
you was very sad when you do that with this beautiful and expensive phone?
im very sorry
I would very much like to me it should not do it
Kaspars Maksims Vidiņš It's a bad thing to threat your phone like that, but the good thing is that it can be repaired :)
Yea its true
