Thanks so much for posting this, a much simpler method than others have proposed! For anybody trying this out, a couple of tips: 1) forget about trying to save the screen. The glue strips are too bloody sticky! 2) buy the reseal sticker kit from ebay, they only cost $5 and fit to the phone perfectly 3) watch out for the little speaker connector on the right hand bottom side, including the little grey retainer, they are pretty loose. 5) be sure to set the aerial back in place, ensure the 3 little touch point connectors are touching their metal pads (you might need to give them a little stretch. Thanks once again!
Thank you, in all the videos I've seen dismantle all parts of the cell to change LCD ... this is the first video I see dismantle only the necessary parts to LCD replacement, has been very useful to me the way you do , Thanks again.
This is by far the best disassemble/screen replacement video on youtube for the Z. Unfortunately my microphone doesn't work after my novice repair. Any thoughts?
Great video, but i have one problem. I replaced the screen successfully, in spite of that, the picrophone not work at all. So i thought that was my wrong that i broke the flex cable, so i replaced it but the microphone is still not working. Hopeless i began to look for the answer in many blogs, there were many people with the same problem but nobody knows what´s happening with the fu***ing microphone. I decided to look for here, help me if you know something about this. Thanks.
I just replaced a couple of parts inside my Xperia z and also replaced the rear glass! I noticed a bit of circuitry under a label on the back of the glass, what exactly is this as the replacement glass I ordered doesn't have it?
CaptainObviousize Make sure to check your model: www.amazon.com/Touch-Digitizer-Display-Screen-Xperia/dp/B00LIFA33K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1434004011&sr=8-2&keywords=xperia+z+lcd
do I have to replace the whole screen or just the digitizer? I'm confused coz there are items sold in e-bay which are just clear glass (digitizer?) compared to the new screen you attached in the video.. Pls help.. Thanks!
charmae achumbre To replace just the digitizer is difficult. If you have never done it before I would buy the whole display like in this video. Here is a similar display and the steps to remove the digitzer and re adhere it: th-cam.com/video/j34XNHdn_SE/w-d-xo.html In the description is the LOCA Glue.
got the phone infront of small heater tryin to help it off. funny when i took off back cover 2 screws were just stuck to the seal not in there holes. less glue more screw It would seem is the answer .well battery out. pritty bad shape hope it still works. thanks for your guide
I have a question... If we change the screen, does it gives any effect to phone? for example, my apps are gone or history in google are deleted. Or in another word my phone being format.
Hi @how2tech there is a problem with my sony z when i charge it lamp on front lights up red, but it never charge and i cant turn it on even with charger on. could it just be battery cable is lose?
Hi guys.i have question. I do Sony Xperia screen replacements. Mostly times it works all fine. But my problem is the screen is not sticks tight with the frame sometimes. The doubleside adhesive sticker is not strong enough no matter where I buy the sticker it's sometimes loosing it. I tried liguid glass glue a few time but it's to risky the glue get underneath of the lcd into the backlight and leaves spots. I remove the old sticker from the frame very good and clean it with alcohol. But still the glass /screen comes up in some areas. Please help
anybody help. great vid followed it to completion. came to switch on. sound is there but no pic/lcd black. any place for me to check. great vid all the same.
hai, what is deffernce between touch screen replacement,and lcd replacement.my phone screen was broked but display was clear and touch was not response,my ques was i want change my touch screen or lcd disply plz tell me
farvej mohammed The touch screen is usually attached to the glass and would be considered a glass only replacement...LCD is just the picture display. In most high end phones these two parts are glues together and are one piece. That is the case with this phone and I would suggest replacing both at the same time.
i once putted a glass screen protector den all of a sudden its stoped worked then after some months it worked for 30 seconds then never worked so please help
So I was washing my Z3 , and some water got into it ( Not the first time), now all I can see is a black screen, but still hear sounds; Do I need to teardown my phone, to see if there's any water is affecting the screen?
hello i replaced my screen after it's cracked but when I turned the phone on it keeps restarting even if I changed my screen again do anyone know what happened to it?? do i destroy the borad?
Hello guys I broke my display long time ago. I bought new phone after that but few days ago I saw few videos and I decided to fix the old one on my own. I bought Sony Xperia z screen with frame and today I started fixing it. I checked the new display. The display lights up an the screen is working but the touch screen it's not working. I cannot do anything with it. If anyone knows what I can do please let me know. I would be really thankful.
mmm ..... heating the battery not only doesn't help to soften the glue underneath it ( cause the battery is not very good temperature conductor ) but you are damaging your battery very seriously by doing that. .... NEVER heat your battery ...under any circumstances!
Consumers (and government) need to put more pressure on phone (and other) manufactures to develop phones (and other electronics) that have more easily replaceable parts. It's not in the interest of the industry to change as they just want to sell as many phones as possible. Throw away products when they have broken (or very expensive or difficult to fix) is bad for the consumer and the environment.
And yes also a little bit of sledge hammering because at this point it makes no difference and there you go! Fine and dandy 🌈 and now you have complete Phone replacement 😂

Was your screen responsive before you changed the screen ?
What is The little cable that you pried off around 10.25 from the left hand corner, called? I think I might have damaged it and need to replace it.
+Merlin Laula I am thinking you are talking about his cable: www.ebay.com/itm/like/131208392701?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82
+How2Tech yeah, i actually already found it and got one, but thanks (Y)
Is it still going to be waterproof after the screen replacement is done?
i think not, but if you have a great ¨doble face¨ adhesive, may be..
from where you buy the air gun ? can i use hair dryer or not ? ?
you can use hair dryer, it will just take longer to heat
I just replaced a couple of parts inside my Xperia z and also replaced the rear glass! I noticed a bit of circuitry under a label on the back of the glass, what exactly is this as the replacement glass I ordered doesn't have it?
+Dan Mercer Potentially part of the NFC chip

Use a hairdryer!
Thats how I did mine.

After I reasembled the phone and turned it on I get a blackscreen do you know what the problem might be? Thank you for the tutorial.

do I have to replace the whole screen or just the digitizer? I'm confused coz there are items sold in e-bay which are just clear glass (digitizer?) compared to the new screen you attached in the video.. Pls help.. Thanks!
the whole screen is still functional and all, it's just that it's very ugly to look at with all
the cracks that's why I want the screen replaced

My main concern about this is would the phone still be water resistant?
+Rebecca Harmon No, it would not. That's the saddest thing :C
+Rebecca Harmon Would it??
+Rebecca Harmon No it will not.
My xperia Z phone camera has dust inside so that I can not take clear photos. If I removed once the back panel, will it stick again without any clue?
I have a question... If we change the screen, does it gives any effect to phone? for example, my apps are gone or history in google are deleted. Or in another word my phone being format.

My Xperia Z doen't have NFC in it's back panel. However in the settings, an NFC option is present. Is my back panel not original?
you are right, all xperia z phones have nfc feature and antenna under back panel.
@@johanelmander3787 Thanx. But that's not an issue to me, i'm 12 yold and i do not need NFC. In future i might.
