I've got a W995 which turns onto a black screen with some horizontal colourful lines running across it on occasion.
The phone is previously thought to be liquid damaged but atleast starting up now. I've disassembled the whole phone assuming the flex ribbon needs changing but after a ribbon replacement, problem persists.Can anyone confirm to me that an LCD replacement will fix this? What other problem is this symptomatic off?
I am hoping that someone can help. I dont know why buy my phone screen has started playing tricks on me, it either stays black (I can see that there is power to it but its not showing the normal screen), or it goes a bit muddled (lines though it, or it is off to the left or right, or only half screen is showing). Strangely, when it is staying black I can tell that it is working behind the scenes as if i tap the power button twice the screen powers off, then if i tap it again and press the bottom left it unlocks the screen (the screen looks like it has power but is still black) I can tell the phone is working as if i press the menu button it vibrates when i touch places where the menu options are. if i keep turning the phone off and on or locking and unlocking it will eventually work - but this can take anything from 1 attempt to 20 or 30 Then when the phone comes on properly it can go back to being black or garbled again in seconds or minuits, ocasionally hours.I got the phone less than a year ago (about 7 months - not long after it came out i think) - i have the box but no receipt.

i bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini a couple of weeks ago, works fine but i was downloading live wallpapers from android store and there was one called DIY wallpaper and it made the lock screen look like an iphone one. so i installed it and it asked me if i wanted to change my home screen to the new one and i clicked yes, then my screen went black. I can use the drop down bar but if i click on a notifcation in there nothing comes up on the screen. I can see the start up screen and all that and the unlock screen it all works just no home screen. Ive tried reseting by holding lock button and home button for 4 seconds it resarted but it was the same i could only use the drop down bar.and one more thing, ive connected to computer but i cant get it to do the usb connect because i cant click it on the phone screen.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have just acquired a W995 & have set up a Wi-Fi link to my home network but am not sure if it is using that instead of my Mobile Phone connection. The Wi-Fi icon is green but when I try to connect to the internet a small e appears above the signal strength bars. Using a French network provider, my data allowance is very small, so would prefer to use Wi-Fi to pick up e-mail & other internet services. How can I force a Wi-Fi connection if one is available ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this has been done to death but I can't find any links on here. My phone started not working so I switched off, sincve when it won't go past the Sony logo before the screen goes blank. It is seen by the PC for a few seconds every minute or so, and that's it. I can't do anything with it, and the battery is charged and the sim card is not faulty.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy nearly 1 year old W995 has just started to switch itself off for no reason. Battery is charged and have tried a replacement battery also. There is no pattern and just happens at random 2-3 times a day. Have tried the software update but it still happens. Only way to clear the problem is to remove the battery and then it will restart!

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyone with a W995 (Brown cert) with the latest fw R1HA036 who can extract the mentioned app? I'm quite bummed that the new fw doesn't allow manual installation for the Facebook app I've been using since the last fw. It's strange that after the fw update my APAC-ANZ doesn't come with it while another phone with the same CDA and fw does. Actually it does allow manual installation, it just doesn't integrate itself with the phone anymore, ie. able to log on but I can't view any of the pictures, there's no Facebook link for 'send to' in the photo gallery which used to allow me to upload photos directly to my Facebook page etc. Am kinda wondering if any of you kind souls could help me out with this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had my phone for at least a year now and suddenly today it won't turn on. This also happened maybe 30mins-1hr after turning it off. It was working fine but now no matter how I try turning it on, the buttons just light up and it vibrates but nothing comes on the screen. Is this a battery problem or a screen problem? I have to take out the battery before I can try turning it on again. And also it won't charge. I tried searching for answers but haven't found anything.
