Does anyone know where to buy a Genuine Sony Xperia C Back Panel in INDIA, My friend's device's back panel fell into Glue and it is totally gone.
If someone knows then please help. Specifically for INDIA.

If you go to Sony Service Center then you can get the same back cover as you got when device was purchased for about Rs.1700-1800.
But is you want some designer covers then you have to search local market for that or you can even get that kind of covers online.

My Nexus screen crashed when I sadly droped it to the ground.
So, i'll buy a new replacement screen and change myself.
I just looked at ebay and it has lots of sellers of OEM LG Original Screen replacements, but they all send from China.
Is that right? I mean, it will really be original parts from LG?
Can I trust them?
Also, my Nexus 5 is the white version, but I saw I can change the battery cover, and i thinking of buying a new one in Red color.
Should I be worried about changing the back cover? Some compability problem between versions?
I've bought plenty of phone stuff from China and most of it is legit... in fact, even the stuff sold as not from China probably still came from China originally. As for the cover, there is no difference other than colour so you will be fine if you want to change to red
Hi guys
My z3 died while snorkeling in the sea. Now it turns on when power is connected but keeps power cycling showing only the sony and xperia logos. One time it was showing the battery charging icon and vibrating.
I took it to the shop under warranty and they quoted $500 for a replacement motherboard, stating that they tried it in another phone and it was completely dead.
I couldn't find any prices online and I'm wondering what's the best option.
Any advice appreciated
That sucks. You can try aliexpress for motherboards but I am not sure if you'll be able to find one as Z3 is fairly new. All i'm able to find are the screen digitizers and back panels for the Z3. You can always order one from online retailers and DIY. Just to save some bucks coz $500 is fairly expensive.
Yeah but finding the online retailer is difficult
Hello!
I live in Japan but I bought an unlocked phone from Amazon, so it is very hard to find a place to do repairs and I was thinking about doing it myself.
It fell down and the glass cracked (picture attached). The LCD screen is ok, so I just need the digitizer and I want to know what to consider when buying one.
(I have no idea what I am doing )
Please send links to ebay items (or from anywhere that ships to Japan) that you think are ok.
Thanks!!

I know, but the only other option is to send my phone to the US to get repairs, and they won't even ship internationally, so i would need someone in the us to ship it back to me (which i don't have), and i don't know if i would have to pay taxes again, so it is a lot easier to just change the screen myself.
It is a bummer, but what else can I do? (Seriously, I am asking...)
I don't know specifically about the z3 but for most new phones the digitizer is glued to the lcd screen and is a real pain to remove - you have to heat it carefully using heat gun/blow dryer and it's a delicate process of removing the glass from the lcd. In Canada the repair costs around $200 from authorized Sony repair center. Have you called Sony mobile support? I'm sure they have a repair center in Japan that they could direct you to...

I did call them and there is no official Sony repair center in Japan.
It's because in Japan you can't just buy an unlocked phone, all phones are sold by the phone companies, there isn't a Sony store, so only the phone companies provide the repairs, but they won't take mine exactly because it is a unlocked version.
I bought mine unlocked on Amazon because I am going back to my country this year and I didn't want a locked phone.
I got an estimate of 5200 yen to replace the glass, which is around 50 usd, so I am really sad because the price difference between the spare part and the actual repair is very small.

If I may say, $50 is not bad at all considering Sony would charge you to replace the whole LCD unit ($150 - $200)... on the other hand I wish Sony would do what Google does and replace one broken screen free of charge (or so I hear).
Good luck.
Hi all,
I've smashed the screen on my smartwatch 2 and would like to get it fixed rather than getting a new smartwatch. Has anyone replaced the screen before? If so do you have any advice? Where can you get replacement screens from?
Thanks.

I'm wondering this also, Have a crack going straight through the center horizontally. It doesnt affect anything, but I don't even know when it happened. Looked down and it was there. figure anything out? Thanks
I didn't sort this out sorry. I tried the official Sony channels (I'm in Australia), and they don't repair the screens, just replace the whole piece. Not surprisingly this would cost the same as simply buying a new one. So as far as I know, these can't be repaired. I'm more than happy to be corrected though.
This happen even to me. The watch fell down from my table besides the sofa.
One air jump in about 60 centimeters...There goes my watch!
I contacted Sony support and got advice to contact repair center.
After contacted repair center I got the answer...
They don't repair any Smart Watch, but they offer me a new watch for about 1500 to 1600:- Skr.
Which in fact is the same as throw the broken watch and directly buy a new one...?
So it's hard to recommend Sony Smartwatch to my friends.
Hi all my problem is i bought my Z3 off ebay it had a faulty screen. The screen is not displaying anything so i bought a new screen fitted it but its still the same so bought another thinking it was the part but its still the same. So i need some advice wether its the zif on the board thats faulty or the flex ribbon. the zif connector looks to be ok. And the back light still works and i can hear the boot sounds and notifacations. I just don't want to keep buying parts willy nilly

Because Sony service center is terrible I sent my z1 there in the past for screen flickering and they tried to charge me £315 to fix it. I have replaced the flex ribbon since and still the same no picture on the screen just cant see whats wrong with it
Dont waste your hard earned money. Buy some other brand phone
