My X10's screen has deep scratches and has had a screen defect from day 1. They won't replace my phone because the water sticker is marked red (doesn't matter, it works fine I think). But, by the way it looks, the actual screen is covered by the plastic screen that looks to be part of the housing. Is there any way I can replace this?
Hi!
I have question about Sony Xperi L. On the screen is Shatter-proof sheet(like in Xperia Z). Can we take it off? The screen without Shatter-proof sheet is scratch-resistant? Is it look and work better?
ps.Sony Xperia M has Shatter-proof sheet too?

Xperia L has shatter-proof sheet (I read somewhere) but taking it off would result in scratches on the screen as that sheet protects the screen from scratches..
Well yeah, but this shatter-proof screen only sticks all the pieces together when the screen cracks. And it's HIGHLY scratchable too. Underneath there is the mineral, and scratch-resistant glass, so I would prefer to take off this crappy sheet and replace it with something like mk2 solid. It would protect my screen both from shattering and losing some pieces of screen and from scratches.
But I have a question for people who did take off this sheet. Does it leave any glue or anything?
Wytapane z Xperii L.
I don't know whether it leaves glue or not..
I am sure in the near future (accident happened, due to wear and tear or for warranty purposes) you will need to get a replacement. 2 sites so far and will update if come across more.

Thanks for this. I'm pretty sure sooner or later there will be some people who need to get replacements.
Update with more info. . .
Another site with spareparts is here:
http://stellatech.com/articles.php?lang=en&cid=10710
I've ordered some adhesives from them (as my screen is coming off after being replaced in service ).
thanks, updated list. Some of their prices are cheaper but some not. great find tho
does the black glass cover come with the Xperia logo on the back? as it doesnt show it on witrigs.
also if i remove the ASF layer from the glass back is the xperia logo on the ASF same as Sony is on the front screen?
Never mind just watched the video comparing the two and the Xperia is on the glass NOT the ASF :victory:
why couldn't Sony put the bloody SONY logo on the front glass instead of the ASF!?
Would be awesome if we could buy an OEM replacement front screen glass with the SONY logo on the glass not the ASF, or better yet... an OEM replacement with the logo and just glass - no ASF.
great stuff thank you

Hello!
Hello I just want to know, is it possible to change the whole housing of Z1C without damaging the LCD? I mean like, I own a White Z1C and I want to change to black housing..?
Yes, it's doable. You basically need 3 parts, plus a lot of double sided adhesive tape (original).

3 Parts? Not 4? Sorry I don't quite understand, as I thought there will be back cover, back panel, middle frame & front lcd supporting panel.
Middle frame and the plastic part sustaining the panel are being sold as one. You will need the sim/usb/SD covers as well
Hey guys,
i need to replace my ear piece speaker mesh, can i just buy the speaker mesh and replace it or am i going to have to replace all of the adhesive strips and pull my phone phone apart completely?
Done a bit more research and if im right all i need to do is pry the screen off replace the ear peice mesh and then the screen adhesive and then put the screen back on?
Ive pulled apart and put back together many phones just not waterproof phones so am assuming i need to place any adhesive thats even remotely involved in the repair

hi folks
I cracked my bottom speaker grill. Many resellers have it
http://rounded.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-deco-cover-black-for-speaker-grill.html
but how it's hooked to the main frame? If it's simple it's definetely a go, if I have to disassembly the whole phone is definitely a no-go thanks, no teardown video was useful for now
Hi,

Found a solution? Trying to do the same thing
Hello everyone, I am thinking of buying the Z3 over Z3 compact because the Z3 will possibly manage heat better: larger surface + metal frame + heat pipe to dissipate heat from the cpu\gpu. With that in mind, does the Z3 still suffer from the front or back plates comming unglued? A friend of mine has z3 compact and he has his screen re-glued, replaced + new frame several times, because of his front screen panel becoming unglued and sticking out causing proximity sensor and earpiece not to work. Does this happen to the big brother of Z3 compact too?
Cheers! :good:
Changed battery on mine. Had the backpanel off and resealed it myself, And still holds in place firmly. My screen is showing no signs of gaps the 2 years I had it.
