That seems to be a hardware issue, contact your local Xperia Care

thanks for your reply.i cannot do the safe boot option as i cannot perform any action that requires me touching the screen.i have downloaded and installed the pcc but cannot use it also as my phone needs to be unlocked for it to access my phone.

Performing a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Hi tumi7,

Discussion Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines

To power in to Safe mode, simply hold the Power Key and the Volume Up key together until the handset vibrates 3 times, this will power the device off, once done power the handset back on and when you see the Xperia Logo, press and hold the Volume Down button until the phone starts completely.

The phone will be in safemode, from here see if the screen works.

@tumi7 perform the repair.

If the Software repair does not help, then your best bet will be to get the handset to a service agent, in such a case you are best to contact our customer care teams.
