I did the same few days ago, but I've used sony sticker tape from ebay for the front and back. I have the same 3M tape which is not good for installing the battery cover. The glass will lift up after few days. Use original tape it's way stronger than 3M and the phone will be waterproof again. Cheers

Every thing work just fine thank you for this fine video. Only problem is that my touch don't work at all. I have checked the connections several times following your video but nothing seems to get the touch screen working? I need helt, please. What to do?
while taking my xperia z apart for screen replacement, i broke one of the connector pins of the motherboard, one of the two pins that connect to the back glass panel. is this critical or will it work without this? I saw you started the phone without the backplate, so was hoping I dont have to bin the entire phone now. thank you for very helpfull videos :)

Hey I watched your video and it was the best one out of all of them. None of thee others described how much force you really needed to use in prying and detaching certain areas/connectors as colorfully as you did THANK YOU! I do have a question though I did everything in thr video and successfully but The phone is still unable give or even register touch feedback. I was hoping you could shine some light on the subject.

that also happened to me,so I took off the the tape of the old screen that's just at the bottom of the OLD cable,and re-applied it to the new one...somehow it works :)
D347Hza it's the copper tape on the bottom of the screen ( image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00kSQEqOFsrIbV/LCD-Screen-Display-with-Digitizer-Touch-Screen-for-Sony-Xperia-Z-L36H.jpg )...my NEW screen did not come with it so I've spent a whole day trying to fix it...It worked as soon as I transfered the old one..If you don't have that tape,try doing this and reply If it works!
The new screen does have said copper tape, yet the configuration is slightly different. The silver bar is solid in stead of two separate pieces, so its probably not a grounding problem as I thought. It does appear to be a backlight problem, as the old backlight works even without the copper tape on. I am taking phone in to check if the replacement is actually faulty, thanks m8:)
hi ! my xperia z just got few waters inside it and now its ruining the lcd, not the touchscreen but there are few water spots in it, how can i fix it without changing the lcd ?
Hey, did everything right, everything on its place, like on your video, but when i turn my phone on, it doesn't start, it's out of battery but i have it on charger like for 1 hour and still nothing, upper part - where the usb cabel is, its hot but the battery isnt. Please help me :C
I guess I got ripped off then - got to the part in this vid when it came to putting in a new screen but the one I ordered was literally just the screen with the little circuit attachment thing and it was textured plastic...don't suppose someone can link me to a proper replacement screen page with everything that he removes in this video?
Lauren gonzales you probably didn't connect the screen (lcd) properly to the mother board (worst case you broke it). I would take it the back off and maybe the battery and try to get the connector in properly. Put the battery back in and turn the phone on. If you still have the same issue then it broke some how.
Lazar Tashkow it can not waterproof www.aliexpress.com/store/product/original-lcd-display-touch-digitizer-glass-screen-assembly-for-sony-xperia-z-l36h-l36i-lt36h-c6603/1212084_1873274498.html
+Mohamed EL-Gamal at 13:44 What I thought was the speaker is actually the vibration module. Make sure this is attached and making connection. probably the issue.
+Loneat (LoNeat) probably not. maybe you should use a waterproof sealant along with sticky tape ? I fixed mine using this technique but dare not test it as waterproof as it never really was in the first place, its actually water resistant the water gets in around where it says there are water tight seals, this is becuse they are moving parts ( the flap that covers your charger port etc ) after continuous use the seals break down and become non effective and unless you replace themnthe phone is not water resistant.
thank you!! it took me 7 hours to replace the lcd, but it finally works again :)

***** I've got the same problem. Can you elaborate on what tape at the bottom of the screen?
D347Hza it's the copper tape on the bottom of the screen ( image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00kSQEqOFsrIbV/LCD-Screen-Display-with-Digitizer-Touch-Screen-for-Sony-Xperia-Z-L36H.jpg )...my NEW screen did not come with it so I've spent a whole day trying to fix it...It worked as soon as I transfered the old one..If you don't have that tape,try doing this and reply If it works!
