Hello,

I have a problem with Sony Xperia V Touchscreen, I bought the Sony from my friend and it had screen broken, So i bought another Sony from another friend (this one had motherboard fried). So i took the whole first panel form that sony and stuck it on my phone, everything is okay, works and stuff but one part from the screen doesnt work

Contact your Local support to get your device inspected.

Thanks for the reply.

I actually did contact them, and it turns out that they want almost 100 Euros for this inspection. thats 108 Dollars. I dont think thats a reasonable to pay that kind of money, this Cellphone isnt worth this much, i allready have spended on that Sony almost 80 Euros.

I hope that someone could give me some advice how to fix it on my own. The thing is that it sometimes works if i press on some spots of the screen, i think there might be a bad connection bedween motherboard and touchpad, but i dont know is there connectors on touchpad or are wires connected without sockets. cuz connectors bedween motherboard and wires are good.

I Belive that the Flex Cable is the Smal cable that goes from the motherboard to down on that board where is that Vibration thingy, mic and such?
