Hi.
Does Sony have service manuals for XZs phone with a parts list?
Mine XZs has a cracked screen, I'm in Thailand and a service center is far-far away from me, considering order parts online and do DIY repair. Found out that to replace the screen I need some OEM adhesives to keep phone waterproof.
Wanna do it right and order all parts I need, it would be handy to have service manual to get OEM part numbers and step-by-step guide.
Maybe you know where to get this manual?
Thanks.

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.
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 $500 is fairly expensive.
Yeah but finding the online retailer is difficult
Hey everyone. I've bought a Z3 in December but its front panel (screen/digitizer) is starting to separate from the body, the adhesive is not doing its job anymore... We don't have Sony in our country, the shop I bought it from claims to be the official representative of Sony in Armenia, but today I took the phone to them and they refused to repair it, and they voided my guarantee because my phone had physical damage.... And told me they need to change the whole panel which will cost me around 300 USD... I've seen videos on internet that just change the adhesive but they told me it won't work... Then I took it to another shop and they said they could repair it without replacing the whole panel and it'd cost waaay less than 300$ but they told me to forget about waterproofing... I wanted to know whether or not I (they) can can fix it without replacing the panel and will it be waterproof if they do it?
Also, here: http://www.witrigs.com/replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z3 the digitizer is only 40 USD... And this adhesive: http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-supporting-frame-sticker-for-sony-xperia-z3 will my phone be waterproof after using it?
P.S. since my panel was off so I couldn't just wash it and was stupid enough to spill cake's cream on my earphone and then try to clean it with a knife and tissues I've torn the thing that covers the top speaker/earphone and maybe damaged the speaker, because it makes noises, and sound waaay too low... So yeah, my 2nd question, can I find a speaker replacement for it, and if I do, will it still be waterproof after replacing? Note that the "thing" I don't remember how it's called is damaged, torn with a knife...
Anyone?
The are either ripping you off (seller) or are clueless, by claiming you need the replace the whole thing. I'm sure Sony would take care of it for free, since they don't have a shop in your area take it to a shop that is authorized by them for repair. It should be cheap.
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 - $200)... on the other hand I wish Sony would do what Google does and replace one broken screen free of charge (or so I hear).
Good luck.
hello, i recently cracked my z3's screen digitizer, and i intend to replace the whole screen assembly, since replacing the digitizer only sounds like an extremely hard task.
i have gone through aliexpress, amazon/ebay us.uk sites, but i can't find a trustworthy OEM seller, they're all either aftermarket refurbished or completely defective fake .
so can anyone please tell me from where can i order online to get an OEM parts for my phone ? getting local repair is out of the question, they want to charge me 300$ and sony authorized re seller wants 350$....
please, any suggestion would be helpful .
I bought the screen digitizer from etrade supply. I will have someone attempt to replace 4-5 days from now. I'll let you know how it goes.
thank you !!!
