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!
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!
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!
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, 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!
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?
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!
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.......
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 :)
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
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 :)
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!
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?
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 !!
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?
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!
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.
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
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?
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 ☺
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 ?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
My screen has become black (lit up) everything working fine (sounds vibrations I can even unlock the screen n play music without display).. I dropped it accidentally and this happen. Should I replace the screen or is there any way to repair the same one??
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.
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..
I drop off my phone sony xperia Z2 in the ocean when i went to swim there .. and the phone at that moment does.nt working is off BEfore 1 week ago .... can you give advise what can i do with it ??????
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.. ive changed my screen as you have done but the screen doesn't come on.. its stays blank but the phone is on because when I press the dedicated camera button it flashes and captures and makes the sounds. .. that's all the phone is doing. . Any ideas.. thanks
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
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.
hello what happens is that since a few days ago my z2 does not serve the tactile image but is in black, some solution or tap to change the display cell had been wet before inside
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!
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 sir, i cracked my xperia z2's screen recently and the screen appear some rainbow-ish lines .but the lines only appeared on half of the screen and half is still working. i am wondering is the digitizer loose or broken ?
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
my bottom speaker is fairly louder than the top speaker! is it normal? Do you have the same issue? (android 4.4.4 xperia z2!) thanks in advance! also the vibration motor is a little bit noisy! Shall i ask for replacement?
in my phone you can understand that the sound comes from bottom speaker and when i turn it so the bottom is at my left you can understand it clearly! I dont want to sent it so sony because i will get it back after 1 month! And maybe they wont fix it! Can this be fixed with a software update or its a hardware 100% problem?
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.
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?
Hi my ph is bought from one provider but I have another network suppling my data and other plans. When i started up my ph it has the original start logos and sounds please how do I delete these
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.
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, 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
Hi, how are you? I had the Z2 for about 5 months, and suddenly the touch started to act crazy, like it was touching everywhere. It lasted for about 2 days, then it stopped, and now the touch just doesn't work in a part of the screen. What could it be? I'm not sure I should replace the whole screen, since the images are perfect.
Henrique Foletto The digitizer(touch glass) is broken. We recommend you to replace the whole screen because the digitizer is attached to LCD screen tightly by strong glue. It is hard for professional repairer to separate and assemble them successfully, let alone the raw recruit.
After I replaced my screen the cameras have stopped working correctly. The back one does not show up at all, and the front one shows lines vertically on the screen? Any ideas?
Hi, my Z2 got a problem recently after falling from my bed, and now looks like it has 2 fingers in touch, pressing all the time, touch everything, if i replace the LSD, should it fix?
fireblox789 It seems the digitizer(touch glass) is broken due to heavy impact. Generally speaking, you can fix it after replacing the screen.There are also possibilities that the digitizer connector got loosened or the motherboard is broken.
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 Can you plz help . I broke my phone's screen and bought a replacement screen. Its only the front glass not the digitizer . Plz can you guide my through so I can it fix ? I don't know if I need glue ?? Regards
It is difficult to glue the front glass and the digitizer together. You need the professional maintain merchinery for help, otherwise your screen may occur some yellow lines or bubble. You'd better buy the LCD with digitizer to replace it. You can glance here www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-sony-xperia-z2 to get more details.
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!
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
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.
Hi there, I have a problem in my xperia z2 which is the display has a missing pixl lines and i don't know what is the problem , could you please tell me what's wrong and how to fix it ? Thanks a lot
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.
Wit Rigs my touch screen has been broken I asked many of maintenance workers in my country and they all have same answer " we can fix it but not waterproof anymore" so what should i do? I really need it back and waterproof
To make the phone waterproof, it asks for professional skills and original replacement parts. But no one can make sure that only if it is fix by the original plant.
so i ordered i new screen and plan to replace it. probem is.. it seems to be missing the "mirror-like back" that you have on your new screen. What is this? and how will it affect my phone if i try to install it anyways?
how much is the LCD screen? I have the same problem that I pit the screen near the power button and the touch does not respond , I should change the LCD screen or all?
+juanito alcachofa lcd screen, touch screen and front glass are already bonded together tightly by strong adhesive, it is hard to separate them and replace only one of them just by DIY repair work, you have to change the LCD screen with digitizer together if you want to fix by yourself. Here is the original screen replacement for z2: bit.ly/1IBzZxZ, it costs $52.99
Hello. I have an xperia z2 that the outer casing ie the side panel has snapped due to excessive force i.e was sat on and snapped. The back has smashed and the digitizer and lcd are lifting from the frame, I don't see a video on how to replace the part in question so any help would be very much appreciated, thanks Sam
Hi I have a sony xperia z2 and I have a small crack in the middle of the glass and the touchscreen is not because I have a lcd and touchscreen spare parts buy ? I would be glad if they can help me thank you .
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.
Please help,I did it ,but then I tried to take a photo with camera but camera is off! I cant take photos it's black . I dont know where I did a mistake....what would it be?
