Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s

My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

Should it be "assembly"?

Hi there
Im wondering if anyone has had their vibrator stop working for the X10 Mini Pro? And if so do you know where to get one? And where theres a disassembly guide?
Mine seemed to stop a couple of months ago. Havent really been too bothered about it, but since Ive found out how to access the service menu to test it, it appear that mine has died, and wondering how quick/easy it is to fix
It should be under warranty, so that'll be the easiest route (apart from losing your phone for an unspecified amount of time...)
Could you explain how to test the vibrator? I have lost vibration on mine, though I think I have somehow disconfigured it.

Yeah but I rooted and debranded it so byebye warranty. Its not too much of a problem though. Just worried about a phone call or a text I may not hear lol.
Anyway. Service menu:
menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back on lockscreen. NOTE: it doesnt work if you try entering it using lockbot lockscreen. Default one does though. Service tests, then Vibrator.
I read your thread the other day. Thats pretty much the same way mine has "died" (most apps wanting to vibrate when it does something)
One more to join the dead vibrator club. Greetings from Brazil.
isn't it possible to revoke the rooting and branding? at least the branding should be equal for the se repair team (i think).
Vibrator?

That's a different accessory, add headphones and do a web search. 8)
you shouldnt really call it a vibrator
as for warrenty come on just reinstall the factory firmware be as though you never rooted it lol they wont know.
yey ! just like Iphone, you reinstall the original fw by SEUS and thay don't know you rooted it before.
Or just disassemble your phone and replace with the new one ! (i do it with my Nokia E63 ! it's very easy!)
You may wanna see this
try it with your own risk ! lol
Mine stopped vibrating for texts and calls but still works this was on 1.6 on 2.1 it is fine

Try a different ROM that is known to have a working camera. If it still doesn't work then you're probably looking at a hardware problem.

Not good, the camera is mounted directly on the main board so it not as if a cable came loose or anything simple like that. Probably the camera module came loose from the board.
If you're feeling adventurous you can take your X10 apart to check it out, here is a guide on how to do it. --> http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/05/10/xperia-x10-disassembly-guide/ but it might be safer to have a repair shop check it out for you.
oh! thank you so much GreatBigDog. i'll disassembly it. i'll report the result..thanks

Hi!
I know this topic has been written about countless times! I know this because I've read most of these threads (atleast the ones I could find), but my case seems to be different..
Last year, all of a sudden, I couldn't use my stock SE headphones. It seems that when I dropped the phone in the snow, something happened.
Now, I can use any kind of headset once, every 24 hours or so... If I take them out, and then put them in again, I get a pop-up telling me the accessory is not supported.
I tried changing the ROM, hoping it would work (using miniCM7pro atm), but I still got the same problem. I really don't like the fact of turning the phone in for a repair since I had to wait 3 months when I turned in my charger that stopped working all of a sudden..
So I'm wondering... Is there any other tweak/ solution or anything that I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
/Nanashi Dri

That looks like hardware related problem. i hope someone here will come up with some answer for this....
I don't think there is an easy fix for what you're experiencing. but here's a few steps you could take.
Make sure there is nothing in the headphone jack that shouldn't be in there (bits of dirt/grit)
Make sure none of the contacts appear damaged. There should be 4 contact points inside the jack socket (exluding headset controls)
but i think the phone will ultimately need to be sent for repair

Hi! And thanks for your replies,
I'm not quite sure how I'm able to see the fourth one, since it's way too deep down, but I can see three of them.
Even if it will ultimately need to be sent for repair, I want to do my best to try and fix it before I send it in, since I really hate the thought of sending it in and then wait for three months. I'd rather buy an mp3 player, or and iPod or something in that case.

That is why we call it "Sorry Ericsson" for some reason! (just kidding)
They will send it to you as soon as the parts arrive....dont worry. better you replace or repair it before it does a big problem.
Good luck!

Haha!
I'll see what I'll do. Worst case scenario, I'll re-install the original ROM and un-root, and then send it in. But I do want to try and fix it myself first.
Got one more year on my warranty, so time's not a real problem if I don't succeed..
Nanashidri,
at least you considered to unroot and go to stock before giving it.
i just gave it so those dummies at SE centers so they will go crazy seeing me running 2.3.7 on this phone, and they did go psycho! i indeed was laughing cause they started asking me silly questions, "how did you get this in this phone" and such questions.
i simply answered as i was roaming the internet and i did what you could not do....and they where dumb after that....funny funny (i came home and couldnt resist laughing at this matter).
my phone had camera function and my phone restarts after using it. so it was a hardware problem but they never understood it. in retaliation they just flashed the original 2.1. and for two weeks they still never got it right. i went inside the engineers room and recreated the problem. their eyes opened and tubelights switched on in their heads. at last they changed the main board and now it works!! see?
funny things happen....so dont worry. get yours changed when you still have warranty.
keep it up bro!
And this sorry ericsson is going better as "SONY" from next year! no more ericsson!
Hi guys and gals,
I posted that on q&a but went unnoticed. Just want to check if there is hope...
My primary microphone is gone (water damage). It sits on the "UI board with vibration" under the home button.
Could only find it in two online shops, but not in stock for a month.
Now the developement part: is there a way to make the secondary microphone default -as ti is I see it is only used with camera. -This is for the time I wait for the new part.
Anybody has access to a new part quicker than in a month? Will settle for a used one.

Only thing I found was a micswitch, and all it does is changes the a1026 value in build.prop -or ment to change it, doesnt quite work here. Gave me an idea though, so I changed it myself, but makes no difference.
Since the primary stopped working I hear myself in the speaker, comming from the secondary, but for some reason that sound from the secondary mic is not feed to the remote phone...

Ok, we'll try it from another angle.
Cant get the part anywhere. Its still on warranty, I kight send it off, but not sure I want to waste time.
Is there any warranty seals that I didnt see when stripping the bottom plastics? As in, will it show at the service that I opened the phone? Also, wil they see "water damage" as they usually see -I didnt see any traces.

Have you try to clean it with this: http://www.amazon.com/CRC-05103-Quick-Electronic-Cleaner/dp/B000BXOGNI
or a similar product?
Thanks, I think its the lowest price cleaner I seen. Localy at my usual electronics shop they go for about 20.
I havent really noticed any moisture residue. Got the phone stripped right after and "hair dryered".
I'm just wondering, have they got any fancy x-ray os such that would tell them anyway?

Every smartphone have a water indicator: i don't know where is in the ray,but is a small piece of special paper that change color when get water.
sorry fo r my english...
Inviato dal mio ST18i
There is a water sticker on the battery and all over the insides of the phone. The bottom panel including. If even one of them is red, the warranty is not valid. My ray got dipped in water too, fortunately i managed to open it up and clean in fast enough, so no damage(except the lost warranty).
K, so I guess thre million dollar question now is where tyat sticker is oj ray. My phone only got the dipped to the top of home button (standing).
I'll chance it, since I cant find the replacement parts anywhere
Sent from my ST18i using XDA
Well, well well... just got the phone back from the shop. Warranty was a keeper and the Ray is fixed and good as new... or... as new. Lost root, toggles, and all the work done previously. On a bright - I can have fun doing it all over again and best of all - I don't have to rush unwinding the headset from the pocket just to answer the phone anymore.
Happy days.
Thank you Sony
hi,
i have just got my sk17i everythign was working fine, i had to replace my lcd/digitiser, buy my rear camera doesnt work,
front camera works fine, but when i try to take a photo its just blank, it wont work,
will i need a new camera module? its the lack camera with ribbon cable. i cant seem to find one anywhere,
ive repaired the phone using pc companion to get it back to stock but it still dont work, ive taken the phone apart and blown the connectors and had a look and it still wont work...
any ideas? i cant find a camera module for it anywhere online.
any help would be appreciated
Also whats better? Ics android 4 or gb 2.3.x? Im a little confused. Does it matter what android version u use?

When you had your lcd replaced,the phone was opened up by someone right.
The connection of the camera module is very delicate as it needs to be placed perfectly.
There must have been some disconnection while replacing the Digitizer!
So take it back to the guy who repaired it in the first place.
Goodluck! :good:
Before changing the digitizer if it was working then definitely u should take it to the person who fixed it & claim it was working fine. & ICS comes with alot new features than GB. Try it to feel the difference :good:
And yeah ICS on Mini Pro makes it way better! Try it bro and goodluck!
It was me who changed it, I carefully took it off the main board and it sat in a bag untill my new LCD arrived. Could it need a new one? Or maybe try cleaning it?
Sent from my SK17i using Tapatalk 2
Ooooh.Hmm.No man don't get a new one yet!
Show it to SONY or some other expert.If all fails,Then replacement!
Goodluck!
cant get a replacement, cant seem to find one anywhere, its odd, because the front camera works fine, just when i try taje a photo all i get is a blank screen. ive looked at the camera module and connectors and it all seems ok. i cant find a replacement anywhere!! ahhhhhh!
could it be software related? i have krsh kernal and real icsr4, ive tried to repair phone with pc companion but it still dont work,
does repair phone flash back stock kernel etc?
How about static electricity damage?

im just doing sony pc companion repair now, then gonna try. i took my phone apart while waiting for the lcd/digitiser and the camera module was just sitting in the bag of bits i had while i waited, put the new lcd and digitiser in then i have no camera, very odd.
where can i get a new camera module from? i have no idea what its called where to look, and i dont wanna buy a replacement if its gonna do the same thing.
very frustrating
Yeah very frustrating.
I'm in a crisis now too.my volume up button broke so it's pressed forever.so safe mode forever which means no sd card no apps.where do find spare volume buttons man :/
ok, quick update,
redid phone, and its stock, when i try and take a photo i can hear a type of "clicking" coming from the camera?
Camera still not workin. All I can hear is a kinda clicking noise every 3 seconds. Any ideas?

As I already told,
Did you take proper protection against static electricity before you opened up your device!?
Was the phone properly grounded?
Did you discharge yourself before opening up the device?
Static electricity would have probably damaged your phone's circuits

Yea was grounded etc. Its got to be the camera module but where the hell can I get a new one lol. Even replacing the lcd was a pain in the ass
