Parts

Sony Xperia Z Rear Cover Adhesive

Step 1

Warm the Battery cover before disassemble it.

Step 3

Unscrew 4x screws and disconnect 3x flex cables in case to free the mother board.

Step 4

This are: main Camera, front Camera and antenna wire Flex cable.
Now we can remove the Motherboard.

Step 5

The Headphone connector and the Ringer / Cover / Signal Antenna module.

Step 6

Disconnect the LCD light flex cable by lifting up the black plastic and removing the flex cable from the right side and we are ready to go.

Thats not the cable for the homebuttons its for the LCD screen

Step 7

Warm the Touch screen before you start to disassemble it.

Step 9

All's well, that ends well. :)

Same procedure with Sony Xperia Z1? Where do i get the screen parts?

chrgro - 16/07/14

The procedure is similar. You must use hot air to separate the Touch scree & LCD display from the frame. Of course, the disassembling have a difference.

I just try to change the digitalizer only but it's really hard to remove it without braking the LCD.

I'll recommend to change the glass and the LCD. You will receive assemble AND with new adhesives.

All my notifications work when people call my phone rings i just cant see. Can replacing the screen fix this problem? Ive heard people say fix the backlight but i have yet to find the replacement part. Please i really need help!!!

Is it a must to remove the motherboard when I disassemble the screen from the phone?

Billsur - 30/08/14

I prefer to do this because i am heating and straining the front bezel during the separation.

ZFix - 31/08/14

Everythink looks great but something is missing

How will I install the back cover?

It is a water proof device after all.

I replaced the screen with no issues but now the microphone doesn't work. I ordered a new flex to replace it, installed it, and still no mic. Any ideas?

Matthew Wilson - 13/10/14

westonentertainmentltd - 30/11/14

Is the procedure for replacement of only the digitizer the same as for both digitzer and lcd?

And to seperate digitizer from lcd is heating needed or...?

jorgengarp44 - 10/12/14

I have done the following, but i have diassembled the touch screen keeping the lcd. Now I assembled again, but the screen remains white when i switch one. I don't know what I can have done wrong. Any help?

Thanks!

Xavi Palacin - 11/12/14

Maybe until disassembling you damaged your LCD display. The only way to find the problem is to try with another working spare part.

ZFix - 15/12/14

What if your LCD is fine and the screen is the only thing that's cracked? Is there a way to only replace the screen?

Rebecca - 16/01/15

They are glued. To separate them you must have a special equipment and a lot of experience.

How to fix back cover after screen replacement??

Neerazmeharchand - 26/01/15

To be water proof again, you must use adhesive sticker especially for the model, like this for Xperia Z2, Step 13:

Hi,

I managed to replace my broken screen thanks to this guide. Thank you for that!

Unfortunately I´m facing now new problem after mounting phone back together - I can´t get any sound out from the ear speaker and loud speaker. Does anyone have any idea what could gone wrong? I´ve already checked cable connections to the motherboard, but no luck.

Hello,

I did change the whole frame including display and digitizer. Then I reassembled the device, tried the functionality but now the vibro motor is permanently vibrating. Do anybody has a explanation or a solution for this problem?

Thank you

janko04 - 21/03/15

Hello,

I successfully replaced lcd, but now wlan signal is very low and dropping. If I connect or disconnect antenna cable, the reception signal is the same, so maybe I damaged green pcb under vibrate motor? Is there anything else that I should check?

David Kotar - 05/05/15

Bella Mujere - 03/04/16

I have a cracked screen only, I ordered a new one off eBay but came with a frame. Now do I have to change all my motherboard, cameras, basically everything into new frame and screen or can I simply take the screen out of new frame purchased and replace the cracked one currently on my phone? Thanks

Hi, similar problem here. It might benefit others to know that some phones are very fussy about the EM permeability of the touch screen; the reason for low signal could be that simple. I am working on a Z and using my idea would allow a screen replacement to be graded without ever opening the box so if substandard could be sent back unopened (most sellers refuse to refund if screen is used at all) the same method can also be verifiably used to evaluate non OEM batteries and compare to the original to see if they are genuine new, genuine used or counterfeit.
