My fiancée broke the screen on her phone and all of her pictures were on it. Managed to follow this tutorial to get the phone working well enough that we could get her photos back. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you! I have followed this video twice now to replace two cracked screens (silly me). The video explains it very clearly however two things to note - when you first remove the back there is a plastic tab underneath the top of the phone that you have to pull to release the glue. Secondly there is a small metal bracket around the left side of the speaker which needs to be unclipped and removed. Finally I would advice on disconnecting the antenna connector before removing the speaker (unshown in this video). Thanks again!
Thanks for this vid, I was EXTREMELY careful about those fragile cables and it really paid off, phone is working and performing as it was when new. Thanks again!
thanks, this was easy as expected! took 5 days from it to ship from china to norway with dhl express.. and the screen was replaced 15 minutes after i got it :) thank u Witrigs!
Haha i did not read these negative comments before i fixed my phone. Replacement was simple as fakk. I will not going to test waterproof but my phone is fixed thanks to this video. It took like 45 minutes with slow workflow. No need to fear if you have brain and i aint some engineer. Just do it!
Very good video! Follow the instructions and everything goes just fine. The only problem was that for some reason there was glue in the battery, which made detaching the back cover a bit difficult.
People saying this messed up there phone No you messed up your phone by not following a simple video which someone has took the time to make to help you.......
I miss my Z2. The phone was great during its time. Stereo speaker, beautiful notification LED. One of it kind. But sadly the camera was plague with overheating problems. I am probably going to fix mine soon and use it as music player. Fixed it more than twice but the screen still broke (own fault😂) . Thanks for the video!
This is a great video tutorial. Ordered my screen from you guys however i noticed some discoloration on the bottom right side of the screen but ill live with it ..not like i intend to go back in to change it even if you send a replacement !!
Jude Bryan Fullente hi, all the replacement parts for Z2 is sold separetely including the original adhesive. You can check up www.witrigs.com/sony-xperia-z2-replacement-parts and find what you need.
Hi, great video. My Xperia z2 seems to letting water in from somewhere, as the camera has gone cloudy. The phone still works fine. Do you think it's worth replacing the adhesive? But is it likely the damage the screen in the heating process? Thanks
Thanks for the guide! I bought my screen off eBay and just got the regular cheapie.. The colour vibrancy leaves much to be desired compared to the original but oh well.. I had an extra metal clip on the bottom left when removing the 'loudspeaker' section. If you don't know about this, then it can be easy to miss and a real pain. Overall, the hardest part for me was placing in the sticky stuff; you only get one shot.
+Aaron H I just finished reassembling my phone and I also had that metal clip left, didn't know where it was supposed to go so I just left it... now that i finished installing my new screen it works but... sometimes it doesnt recognize any of my touches
as water proof as from factory.. but heres the thing.. they arent waterproof. mine wasnt from factory. it just broke. ofc no warranty on water damage. just do never use a "waterproof" sony around water. its just a marketing gag
Maybe on your Sony, idk where from you bought it, but mine and my girlfriend's Sony Z2, is waterproof and one night, for about 25 minutes, my phone stand in a glass of beer with wine and it works with no trouble after 2 hard years of droping on the floor. Sorry for my bad english! Peace!
Is the replacement part provided original? I am concerned about the quality of the display, Will it be the same as the tri - luminous display offered by Sony?? I am resident of India, Where can i buy the replacement parts??
The screen we offered is original which is the same as your old one,www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z2. Witrigs can ship it to you.
Replaced my screen, works very good! Have an issue though with the vibration. As soon as i connect the battery the vibration goes on until i remove the battery connection. Is there an easy solution? Pls help :)
Hey! I followed your video step by step, and when I tested the phone, it wouldn't turn on although i managed to replace the screen correctly. I tried connecting the charger however only a red light came up. What do i do now?
Thanks for the video. I just broke the screen on my Z2 (badly shattered on the front). The screen is not non responsive but all buttons work and the phone seems to work fine (power button, volume, camera). Will this repair fix my issue?
Hi, thanks for your videos, I have a z2 compact with a cracked screen, would I replace it following this video, or your video for the z1 compact which removes the screen from the front? Thank you ☺
Hi there! Nice tutorial! I had my screen replaced professionally 2 days ago, it works, but I noticed the screen sometimes doesnt respond to touch. If I run a touch test, every 10 taps, 2 or 3 won't register. Is this a problem with faulty cable connecting or a defective screen? Will opening it and re-connecting the cables work? Thanks!
Very good tutorial, I'm still trying to connect the very small pin from. The display back, you took only a few attempts while I'm sitting here for so long ahhh, it's driving me nuts
Hi, I'm from Brazil. I have a question. What is the temperature that you used to take off the seal with the hot wind machine? Could you answer me? Thanks
Lucas Peixoto Heat up the adhesive at 150 degrees for 3 minutes by heat gun. Try to disassemble. If it is hard to open the phone, you can adjust the temperature or time and try again. You can use the hair dryer but it is hard to control the temperature. Do not stay one place too long when heating.
One thing you might not see here is how careful you need to be when you are removing the speaker assembly. I stuck my prying tool right thru the thin ribbon cable down there and had to buy a new flat connector thingy setup.
Hey! I accidentally dropped my Sony Xperia Z2, and the screen cracked. The display is fine but the touch screen (digitizer?) doesn't work - will it work after I've changed the LCD screen? Thanks a lot for helping :)
The Band of Brotherhood If it is replaced by the professional with original replacements, it is still waterproof. But that can't for sure if it just a DIY repair work.
Nice video. However, the person that was replacing the screen was wearing an anti static bracelet, but it was not connected to the grounding lead throughout the whole video and so it was not protecting against static discharge. Unless you were wearing it as a fashion accessory, you may as well have not worn it at all.
Hello. I did everything as you explained in the video, but I have a problem because the display goes crazy and starts to open the application after a minute or two, without my touching the display (ghost effect). What's the problem? To note, I still have not put adhesive screen because I wanted to test it before putting the display.
Sorry to hear that. But it seems there is no exactlly effective solution. From the Sony forum talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/GHOST-touch-problem-Z2/td-p/663333/page/2, many z2 users have the same issue but can't solve it perfectly. If your ghost screen doesn't occur too often, just ignore it. But if it troubles you too much, maybe you should ask the professional for help.
Wit Rigs Well, if the adhersive sticker was replaced with the other cheaper brand one, like those that were made in China, will that affect the waterproof ?
MariusThePaladin the adhesive I used for replacing my z2's cracked back was shit and it used to be lifted on the right side of the phone whenever it got a bit warm. I had to replace the adhesive 3 times before it would stay shut
hi i want to ask you if its extremly necessary have those adhesive things for the display and also the back? because here in argentina want to offer the display without those adhesive, and also i cant find just the adhesives to buy them separate
+Leandro Gustavo Urquidiz if you don't use adhesives then the screen and back cover won't fit tightly, it may affect the use of the phone,here are the links of back cover sticker and lcd screen sticker,hope it can help you www.witrigs.com/oem-back-cover-sticker-for-sony-xperia-z2 www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-supporting-frame-sticker-for-sony-xperia-z2
I've cracked my Z2 screen and to get it repaired at a shop is very expensive ! Do I need the LCD thing as well as the digitiser , or could I just buy the digitiser and fix that ? Sorry if that sounds stupid
sincethethird It is hard for professional repairers to separate the digitizer from LCD screen without any damage and combine them successfully. So we usually recommend to replace the LCD with digitizer if one of them is broken. The LCD with digitizer replacement part is here and you also can find all tools and adhesive stickers you need on this page :www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z2 . DIY repair or not depends on you.
Hello, After dropping my phone on the floor and smashing the screen, I have just replaced it using your instructions, everything went well and the touch screen works, but the screen won't show any picture, it is just white. I can hear the sounds, it vibrates and everything, just will not show anything on the screen. Any ideas where I might have gone wrong?
***** Reconnect the connector of LCD. And make sure you get a good screen. If it is still show nothing, the worst thing is that there is some thing wrong with the motherboard.
Pathum Sumanasena find something to seal it with. Run a continues bead of superglue around the entire edge on the front and the back. That should fix it.
Hello, my Xperia Z2 felt on the floor and the lcd was in 100000 pieces. I followed your video and could change the lcd and the battery cover (back) alone. Now my phone is working again, BUT a bit crazy sometimes... Impossible to play any game, because the touch starts to touch everywhere... Any idea if i can fix this "crazy touch" now?
Triunfo Maine Coons Check the touch flex again. Make sure the connectors of LCD screen and digitizer are fastened well. If the touch is still crazy, there may be something wrong with the motherboard due to heavy dropping.
Wit Rigs Thank you for your help :o) Please, how can i find wich one is the touch felx cable? Sorry for my stupid question, but i´m not an expert on cell phones :)
Hi, do you know which connector exactly answers for touchscreen responsivenes? I replaced mine using this guide, the phone turns on but touchscreen is not responding at all. I might have broken some connection link flex? Do you know which one is it? Thanks
Hello, I replaced my screen yesterday, but when I press the bottom of the screen, near to where the connectors are, the screen gets glitchy and strange. Is there supposed to be contact between the back of the backlight connector and the phone metallic carcace or should I use adhesive to isolate then?
I've just had my screen replaced and although most things work, the double tap to wake up doesn't and also when typing it sometimes has a mind of its own and lastly when I ring someone and take the phone away from my ear it's suppose to light back up but doesn't and so proves to be a nuisance when trying to end a call or so. Any advice thanks.
I did same to my z2 but one question plz.. I have one problem.. When someone call me he doesn't hear me until I open the speaker.. So what is the problem? Which part i need to replace too?
Hello, is there any possibility that damage to the battery ? because the phone heats to high temperatures during the warmer this item . if the battery gets warm it may later come to an unload faster or be weaker ?
Hi, I have a problem with my phone there is a part of the screen that I can't click on it. The rest of the screen works perfectly fine but that small part is basically dead. I'm planing to try changing the screen by myself but where can I buy that thing that is blowing hot air? And how u call it? Thank you so much.
Danny Merida You can get the original lcd with digitizer at www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z2. All tools and items you need are showed at the page. The phone should be heat up while repairing. You can use heat gun or hair dryer.
if my z2 glass cracks, do i need to replace the LDC screen too or can i just replace the glass? my screen looks to be ok but not picking up any motions andit has a mind of its own in turning on and off wifi, data and flight mode etc..
Hi, I have followed your guide, but all I'm getting now is just back light without any picture on the screen, checked connectors few times and they seems to be plugged in correctly, is it faulty screen? I had similar problem with iphone 4s some time ago and I had to replace the screen
Hello. Just bought a new lcd screen and replaced it. Follow this video correctly allthough some small metalclip from the speaker part fell out and i had no clue how to put it back on so I left it since it didn't seem to be an important piece. Now that I've put it all together the screen "works" but more often than not it doesn't recognize any touching and i have to press the power button twice to "restart the screen" to get it working again for a few seconds. What have i done wrong?
+DIESELDUNK94 It also seems to do things by itself, right now i am looking at the screen and its just going crazy with the top slidebar and moving around without me touching it?
+DIESELDUNK94 btw it didn't come with any adhesive for the back of the phone so it's just put back pretty lose. I do have a hard cover for my phone so i guessed it would be enough to hold it together for now.
The problem is not small, because after 1-2 minutes it starts with the ghost effect. It is not usable until the lock button is pressed again and unlock the display. I just bought a new digital displays and connect as it according to the instructions in the video you posted. The display works, the display color is fine. It seems to me that is a little slower response compared to the original, but it's okay. But the ghost effect is killing me. For now, I did not put adhesive tape and I'm not completely tighten the screws. Does it have something to do with the ghost effect? It would be great if I could solve the problem with Ghost effect. :( Compliments for video. It is very useful. Best regards!
Hello, I left my Xperia Z2 into water and water entered the inside condensing. Later everything was ok except that the screen stopped working. Every time I turn on the phone it begins to work alone .. What do you advise me to do to fix this problem? Thank you PS: Very good video!!
Gonçalo Durão The screen is broken. Another possibility is that there is something wrong with the motherboard. You can try to replace a new screen. But if the motherboard is broken due to water damage, you have to send it to the professional repair store.
Today my Xperia Z2 screen stopped being responsive on some of the bottom right portions near the side camera button and the some of the main bottom section after taking some video underwater in a pool. The screen is not cracked and everything was working fine before inserting it under water. Do I need to get the screen and digityzer? Or Can I just get the digityzer only? Thank you
George G The touch screen is broken, and you should replace it. Since it is hard to replace only the digitizer by DIY repair work, we suggest you to replace a complete screen.
Hi, I have done everything in the video, but when I turn the phone on, the screen stays blank, is there anything you can think of that I may have done wrong and need to check? Or is there any way of telling if I have broken a part? Thanks
I lifted the edge of the back cover and got around it with the plectrum. But the back cover seems to be stuck to the battery in the middle or something? When I try to pull the battery comes with it, I don't want to pull my battery out! Is this normal? Any hints? Thanks!
my Xperia z2 is completely smashed on both back and front screen after falling from hands several times. But after watching this video, I purchased a new screen and back panel, which I replaced and it finally worked like new again. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO TEST IT'S WATERPROOFNESS AS I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY MORE RISKS WITH THIS DEVICE
gamerqwerty56 NO, it isn't. But some viewers said theirs were. So it is hard to define the situation. Once you have a teardown work, the waterproof capability will be influenced, and only professional phone maintenance personnel with original replacement parts can make sure to keep it waterproof.
My LCD screen is not working, I am getting notifications and my alarm still goes off but the screen is blank and unresponsive. I think it is water damaged. Will this repair it? Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the info. In my case, my screen is broken, but only the glass screen, not de IPS. I'm trying to find out how to buy replacements and how to fix it by myself.
Hi, so I've got the xperia z2 6 months ago and for the first time tested in water. Worked properly, but my screen with its brightness swings. After a few minutes the screen went completely black, but the touch and all other phone functions work. Only need to change the screen? please help me
The back panel lcd screen is sorta cracked, i only bought for my front, will it smudder to pieces if I try to remove the back panel if its cracked? or will it hold otgether
Dejon33 To keep it waterproof, the phone should be replaced by the professional maintenance personnel with the original and new replacement parts. If it is just done by yourself, it can't be 100% sure that the phone still be waterproof. So if you have DIY repair work, plz be careful.
Hi I have sony xperia sp and it fell on the floor but the screen didnt crack on the outside. But something obviously broke since on the screen it shows only some lines in different colors on a gray background... would it help if I replaced the screen like this? Thank in advance, I really dont know much about this
damizk NO, it isn't. But some viewers said theirs were. So it is hard to define the situation. Once you have a teardown work, the waterproof capability will be influenced, and only professional phone maintenance personnel with original replacement parts can make sure to keep it waterproof.
i broke my screen today and now the touchscrean doesnt work at all anymore but i think the rest of the phone works just fine. will a display change also fix the not working touch?

Is it a 4g fone ...
Thanks for this vid, I was EXTREMELY careful about those fragile cables and it really paid off, phone is working and performing as it was when new. Thanks again!
Glad to hear that and thanks for your feedback.

I bought all the stuff from your website and followed this video! :)
Thank you so much! It works :)
Very good video! Follow the instructions and everything goes just fine. The only problem was that for some reason there was glue in the battery, which made detaching the back cover a bit difficult.
Thanks! Cracked the screen playing carpenter, now puttin' Sony technician on the CV ;)
Big thank you for posting this vid! Brilliant!

Nice video, but i have a question.
After this replacement, is the phone still waterproof?
i dont think so. after peeling off everything on edges....
as water proof as from factory.. but heres the thing.. they arent waterproof. mine wasnt from factory. it just broke. ofc no warranty on water damage. just do never use a "waterproof" sony around water. its just a marketing gag
Im washing it sometimes. Of course not too long time. But I do wash :)
Maybe on your Sony, idk where from you bought it, but mine and my girlfriend's Sony Z2, is waterproof and one night, for about 25 minutes, my phone stand in a glass of beer with wine and it works with no trouble after 2 hard years of droping on the floor. Sorry for my bad english! Peace!
I used mine to go swimming in the ocean and film it though..
Great, thank for this. Followed instructions and replacement went well.

Very good tutorial, I'm still trying to connect the very small pin from. The display back, you took only a few attempts while I'm sitting here for so long ahhh, it's driving me nuts
Ossam video brother it looks very easy to do now
Could you use a hairdryer to heat the front panel and realign it to fix gaps without any issues? Thanks
Hi, I'm from Brazil. I have a question.
What is the temperature that you used to take off the seal with the hot wind machine?
Could you answer me? Thanks
Lucas Peixoto Heat up the adhesive at 150 degrees for 3 minutes by heat gun. Try to disassemble. If it is hard to open the phone, you can adjust the temperature or time and try again. You can use the hair dryer but it is hard to control the temperature. Do not stay one place too long when heating.
Wit Rigs ok, thanks for your help!
One thing you might not see here is how careful you need to be when you are removing the speaker assembly. I stuck my prying tool right thru the thin ribbon cable down there and had to buy a new flat connector thingy setup.
Hi, what kind of equipment do you use? Is there any problem if the kit is cheap?
Hi, i have one question for you. When you return back glass to the phone, is need again heat back glass or no? Thanks!
Josip Meaški No. You need a new back cover adhesive sticker to put the back cover back.
Wit Rigs ok. I have the new back glass and adhesive sticker. Thanks for response!
Thank you so much, my z2 is working perfectly now
Hey! I accidentally dropped my Sony Xperia Z2, and the screen cracked. The display is fine but the touch screen (digitizer?) doesn't work - will it work after I've changed the LCD screen? Thanks a lot for helping :)

Is it still waterproof?

Hi! I would like to ask a question.
If I have my Xperia Z2 battery replaced by the professional, will it still be waterproof ?
Thanks for the answer!
MariusThePaladin With original replacement parts and professional skill, you can keep it waterproof after replacing the battery.
Wit Rigs
Well, if the adhersive sticker was replaced with the other cheaper brand one, like those that were made in China, will that affect the waterproof ?

Really helpful Video. Thanks for your video, I replaced my Sony Z2 by myself.
Is replacing the Sony Z1 screen roughly the same process? Thanks
Also how come you remove the Z1 motherboard to replace the screen, but not on the Z2?

Worked. very easy. Thanks
Bought. Installed and happy.
hi, nice video. My z2 has condensed water inside. What should i do now?
It happened to my Xperia Z, I opened the flaps and left it on a radiator for a few hours. It all cleared up and my phone is 100% back to normal.
You'd better take your z2 to the professional and check if there are some broken parts especially your mainboard.
+Asad Mulla
May I ask how the LCD screen was reacting? Mine becomes bluesh in the cold..to the extent I can't see anything on it.

After repair sticking adhesive sticker
Is that can protect water proof like brand new phone
Pathum Sumanasena No!
What to do for that
Pathum Sumanasena find something to seal it with. Run a continues bead of superglue around the entire edge on the front and the back. That should fix it.
Thanks a lot ! Worked great and very easy

Hello, my Xperia Z2 felt on the floor and the lcd was in 100000 pieces. I followed your video and could change the lcd and the battery cover (back) alone. Now my phone is working again, BUT a bit crazy sometimes... Impossible to play any game, because the touch starts to touch everywhere... Any idea if i can fix this "crazy touch" now?
Triunfo Maine Coons Check the touch flex again. Make sure the connectors of LCD screen and digitizer are fastened well. If the touch is still crazy, there may be something wrong with the motherboard due to heavy dropping.
Wit Rigs Thank you for your help :o) Please, how can i find wich one is the touch felx cable? Sorry for my stupid question, but i´m not an expert on cell phones :)
is it possible to heat up back and front cover, also with a hairdrayer, cause I dont have any other "heating possibilitys" at home :/
Hi, Dear omgmeinnameistnifrei,
Yes, you can heat up back and front cover by a hairdrayer.
Thank you! Video made my replacement easy!
Hi, do you know which connector exactly answers for touchscreen responsivenes? I replaced mine using this guide, the phone turns on but touchscreen is not responding at all. I might have broken some connection link flex? Do you know which one is it? Thanks
well, i cracked my z2 screen and replaced it in a local workshop, now it is working but is the phone still waterproof or not ?
Thanks for the instructional vid. fixed my phone
Hello, I replaced my screen yesterday, but when I press the bottom of the screen, near to where the connectors are, the screen gets glitchy and strange. Is there supposed to be contact between the back of the backlight connector and the phone metallic carcace or should I use adhesive to isolate then?
I hope I never have to come back here and really use this video. What ever happened to screws?
I've just had my screen replaced and although most things work, the double tap to wake up doesn't and also when typing it sometimes has a mind of its own and lastly when I ring someone and take the phone away from my ear it's suppose to light back up but doesn't and so proves to be a nuisance when trying to end a call or so. Any advice thanks.
I did same to my z2 but one question plz.. I have one problem.. When someone call me he doesn't hear me until I open the speaker.. So what is the problem? Which part i need to replace too?
Hello, is there any possibility that damage to the battery ?
because the phone heats to high temperatures during the warmer this item . if the battery gets warm it may later come to an unload faster or be weaker ?
Hi, I have a problem with my phone there is a part of the screen that I can't click on it. The rest of the screen works perfectly fine but that small part is basically dead. I'm planing to try changing the screen by myself but where can I buy that thing that is blowing hot air? And how u call it? Thank you so much.
Danny Merida You can get the original lcd with digitizer at www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z2. All tools and items you need are showed at the page. The phone should be heat up while repairing. You can use heat gun or hair dryer.
if my z2 glass cracks, do i need to replace the LDC screen too or can i just replace the glass? my screen looks to be ok but not picking up any motions andit has a mind of its own in turning on and off wifi, data and flight mode etc..
Most smartphones today have glued together the glass and screen, making it very difficult to separate without damaging anything.
He goes back to being waterproof? In your site seal the glue 3M?
It only can be waterproof by professional skill. But it is hard to define the condition if you repair it by yourself.
Amazing I will try to repair my old z2
Hi, I have followed your guide, but all I'm getting now is just back light without any picture on the screen, checked connectors few times and they seems to be plugged in correctly, is it faulty screen? I had similar problem with iphone 4s some time ago and I had to replace the screen
SuperChovan Do you test the screen before you assemble the phone?
I have tested the phone before assembly, that is why I am bit disappointed with the screen ;/
SuperChovan I had the same problem buying with them and they did NOT solve my issue. I paid for something that do not work.
Hi.,What about the heat-gun Temperature for remove LCD..Thanks in advance
+Fahsul Imran It is about 100-150 degrees Celsius.
Hello. Just bought a new lcd screen and replaced it. Follow this video correctly allthough some small metalclip from the speaker part fell out and i had no clue how to put it back on so I left it since it didn't seem to be an important piece. Now that I've put it all together the screen "works" but more often than not it doesn't recognize any touching and i have to press the power button twice to "restart the screen" to get it working again for a few seconds. What have i done wrong?
+DIESELDUNK94 It also seems to do things by itself, right now i am looking at the screen and its just going crazy with the top slidebar and moving around without me touching it?
+DIESELDUNK94 btw it didn't come with any adhesive for the back of the phone so it's just put back pretty lose. I do have a hard cover for my phone so i guessed it would be enough to hold it together for now.
Can you tell, these sticks are use for waterproof ? Wit Rigs
Nice video, but i have a question.
The problem is not small, because after 1-2 minutes it starts with the ghost effect. It is not usable until the lock button is pressed again and unlock the display. I just bought a new digital displays and connect as it according to the instructions in the video you posted. The display works, the display color is fine. It seems to me that is a little slower response compared to the original, but it's okay. But the ghost effect is killing me. For now, I did not put adhesive tape and I'm not completely tighten the screws. Does it have something to do with the ghost effect?
It would be great if I could solve the problem with Ghost effect. :(
Compliments for video. It is very useful.
Best regards!
Sorry, there has not been an exactly effective solution to the ghost effect.
Hello,
I left my Xperia Z2 into water and water entered the inside condensing. Later everything was ok except that the screen stopped working. Every time I turn on the phone it begins to work alone .. What do you advise me to do to fix this problem?
Thank you
PS: Very good video!!
Gonçalo Durão The screen is broken. Another possibility is that there is something wrong with the motherboard. You can try to replace a new screen. But if the motherboard is broken due to water damage, you have to send it to the professional repair store.

If i buy a new screen and that is not the problem can i return it to witrigs?
Gonçalo Durão You can contact with our customer service : support@witrigs.com
Today my Xperia Z2 screen stopped being responsive on some of the bottom right portions near the side camera button and the some of the main bottom section after taking some video underwater in a pool.
The screen is not cracked and everything was working fine before inserting it under water.
Do I need to get the screen and digityzer? Or Can I just get the digityzer only?
Thank you
George G The touch screen is broken, and you should replace it. Since it is hard to replace only the digitizer by DIY repair work, we suggest you to replace a complete screen.
Wit Rigs Ok thank you.
Another question;
Is it ok to use a regular hair dryer or should it be a heat gun like the one in the video?
George G I used a hair dryer, worked just fine. The adhesive was a bit stronger is all
George G A regular hair dryer is also ok.
Hi, I have done everything in the video, but when I turn the phone on, the screen stays blank, is there anything you can think of that I may have done wrong and need to check? Or is there any way of telling if I have broken a part? Thanks
Plz check if the LCD flex and the digitizer flex have been conneted correctly in the place.
What temperature are you running the heatgun at?
+Drabant It is about 150-200 celsius degree.
I lifted the edge of the back cover and got around it with the plectrum. But the back cover seems to be stuck to the battery in the middle or something? When I try to pull the battery comes with it, I don't want to pull my battery out! Is this normal? Any hints? Thanks!
robinski Ok so I got it off, but the back cover was superglued extra hard onto the middle of the battery? This shit cray
hi, is it possible to replace only the digitizer?
my Xperia z2 is completely smashed on both back and front screen after falling from hands several times. But after watching this video, I purchased a new screen and back panel, which I replaced and it finally worked like new again. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO TEST IT'S WATERPROOFNESS AS I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY MORE RISKS WITH THIS DEVICE
Hi there can you do a video on how to replace a Sony Xperia z2 digitizer
Is it still waterproof after the repair?
gamerqwerty56 NO, it isn't. But some viewers said theirs were. So it is hard to define the situation. Once you have a teardown work, the waterproof capability will be influenced, and only professional phone maintenance personnel with original replacement parts can make sure to keep it waterproof.
what is the temperature and air setting and time to heat up ?
tht is very good video and subtitles, thank you!
Big thanks for helping me like this way
My LCD screen is not working, I am getting notifications and my alarm still goes off but the screen is blank and unresponsive. I think it is water damaged. Will this repair it? Thank you for the video.
I think there should be something wrong with your backlight.
Thank you for getting back to me, I will hopefully know what is wrong with my phone now :)
Guys, are you going to do a tutorial over M4 Aqua? I couldn't find a tutorial yet about that :(
+Fersu Mlg Sorry, we don't have that plan. What's wrong with your phone?
Thanks for the info. In my case, my screen is broken, but only the glass screen, not de IPS. I'm trying to find out how to buy replacements and how to fix it by myself.
hi, will i lose all my data if i change lcd screen on sony xperia z2 like u did?will i lose all contacts n pictures? plz tell me
+cheetah1231000 no, it won't.
no you won't, you are not messing with the software (the brain of the phone), you are messing with the hardware (the phyical parts)
Take ENORMOUS caution at 6:10 when connecting the touch. You can bend that connector sooo fucking easily. And the connector is positioned off center.
Hi, so I've got the xperia z2 6 months ago and for the first time tested in water. Worked properly, but my screen with its brightness swings. After a few minutes the screen went completely black, but the touch and all other phone functions work. Only need to change the screen? please help me
robthechannel Did the problem happen after testing the
phone in water? Did you download any software or do anything else?
Wit Rigs The problem occurred after have it placed in the water, and I did not downloaded any software
The back panel lcd screen is sorta cracked, i only bought for my front, will it smudder to pieces if I try to remove the back panel if its cracked? or will it hold otgether
Mazter0fRemix They are hold together tightly. It is hard to separate and only replace the broken one by yourself.
After doing this is will it still be waterproof like new?
Dejon33 To keep it waterproof, the phone should be replaced by the professional maintenance personnel with the original and new replacement parts. If it is just done by yourself, it can't be 100% sure that the phone still be waterproof. So if you have DIY repair work, plz be careful.
Hi, hairdryer is good heat the edges?
+aqua Yes, hair dryer can also help to heat.
Hi I have sony xperia sp and it fell on the floor but the screen didnt crack on the outside. But something obviously broke since on the screen it shows only some lines in different colors on a gray background... would it help if I replaced the screen like this? Thank in advance, I really dont know much about this
Wit Rigs is your Xperia Z2 still waterproof?
damizk NO, it isn't. But some viewers said theirs were. So it is hard to define the situation. Once you have a teardown work, the waterproof capability will be influenced, and only professional phone maintenance personnel with original replacement parts can make sure to keep it waterproof.
ty for reply
but will it be waterproof after doing this?
+fuumar Hudson hard to assure its water resistance after a DIY repair work.
Please can you tell me the heat gun temperature setting? Thank you :)
sorry for late reply. heat gun temperature is 100-150 centi degree, for 2-3 mins
Thank you :)
i broke my screen today and now the touchscrean doesnt work at all anymore but i think the rest of the phone works just fine. will a display change also fix the not working touch?
4310samir Yes. The display contains LCD and digitizer(touch).
