Hi friends...this is the first thread by me so far and that too bcoz i cant sort out my problem by myself.
so the problem is with my neoV's screen...first it started a few times while scrolling through lists...then anytime touching any option...the display showed vertical coloured lines starting from the top coming down and went blank in 1.5 seconds...then nothing...everything on the screen gives respond on touch but i cant see anything...just blank black screen.
at first the problem went away when locking the screen and unlocking after a minute...but now...it persists even after reboots...i cant even see the boot screen...nor the recovery options...so no way to do anything.
i changed kernels via fastboot, dried the device with hair drier...only repairing with pc companion or flashing stock ftf is left...but i think the problem is not software related.
i think i have damaged my screen by charging from a samsung charger.
i will update the findings after flashing a ftf or repairing with pc companion.
any of you have any idea about the problem?
thanks.
well, I think same as you, hardware problem, LCD passed away..
PCC or .ftf and to the service center.
btw, why you mean it's caused by samsung charger?

coincidence I would say..
Though my friend is having problem with one old slide samsung when charging it with SE charger, phone freeze, restart and lose sms's but that's not coincidence as it happens everytime when she charge it with SE charger... strange indeed.

in my case...i cant authentically say it is bcoz of the samsung charger...anyway...downloading .431 ftf...very slow conection...then if the problem persists...i will have to relock the bootloader to take it for service.
but i fear they may ask for the charger...and if i take the torn charger to them...they will straight away refuse to repair under warranty...and buying a new charger will be costly...sony equipment is always costly...and i think it would be better to repair my charger by myself and replacing the display.

Don't worry, they wont ask you that. You are claiming warranty for phone, not charger
In none of service center I've been to, charger was need to be given.

Hey, I'm trying to get a friend's x10 mini pro up and running again.
A few weeks ago she complained of a non working earpiece in calls (speakerphone worked) and the notification light not working. And then the whole thing just gave up on itself.
Managed to get it turn on by using an apple usb charger, but all I get is a blank black screen with the backlight on.
Used SEUS to see if I could get it to turn on by reinstalling 2.1 eclair but to no avail.
Are there any suggestions at all as to what I could do?
Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks,
phish
I don't really know to suggest. Try leaving it on charge, plugged into the mains, for a few hours. That might do something..

I guess that's what i'll have to do. i'll poke around the insides myself beforehand because its out of warranty and I have free reign over what I can do to it regardless of whether it works in the end or not.

+1 on this my girls phone just did like that.
Same exact issue...
My girlfriend's phone started to have the same exact issues, unresponsive screen, failure on the earphone, and display distortion. So I got her the new Mini Pro, and took the U20i...rooted, and placed a rom in it...so far so good. Then I decided to open the thing...see if there was something that could be repaired. So once I took it apart, which is not hard, just needs some patience, got to the flex. The darn thing was broken, but in a weird fashion, I mean, the right part of the flex itself broke, but not the left part. Anyways, I decided to move it, and voila, I finished damaging the flex. It starts, but stays blank. I have decided to take it to a repair center to check the price to repair. If not, then I will buy the pieces one by one, they come around at $55.

Well, if you tried everything then the phone has a hardware problem
Try to go to Sony Tech Service in your country, there is no International Warranty so you can take the phone to the Sony Tech Service to repair it, if it is too expensive (and I think it will be) then contact Sony to send the phone to Sony USA
I had a problem with a HTC Nexus One in 2011 that I bought from Amazon and two weeks later the power buttons does not worked anymore so I contacted to Amazon (the first 30 days Amazon cover the warranty) and I sent the phone to Amazon and they paid the shipping that it was like 50$
Another problem was with the HTC Nexus One of my brother (we bought two Nexus One from Amazon) problems with 3G connection, heat problems and sometimes the phone sudenly reboot, so he contacted HTC and he just sent the phone (no box, no back cover, no battery, no cables) to HTC USA and 15 days later the phone came repaired and still works, I dont know how much it was the shipping
Try these options and obviously dont try to open the phone
Sorry for the long post

This morning my S3 was working fine, fully charged over night and functioned as normal. Sent a text, put it in my pocket and went about my business. Checked the time half an hour or so later... still fine. Came to make a call an hour after that, the screen was off and i couldn't get it to switch back on.
My first thought was that it must not have charged over night, plugged in charger and tried again but still nothing. Luckily the misses has an S3 also so I tried her battery in mine and vice verca... her phone switch on with my battery and was still charged... mine still did nothing at all with her battery in. Absolutly nothing!
I can't get anything out of it... wont switch on, no download mode, no recovery, laptop wont pick it up via usb. Its not like it banged anything whilst in my pocket as i was just sat watching TV and an hour ago it was fine.
Anyone had this or know what to do? Is it worth making a JIG to try and force download mode even though no button combo does anything at all? (believe me i've tried them all!)
Phone is rooted and *was* running a custom ROM with no problems. Does it need a trip to a service center? If it has to go for a warranty repair is there any way they can tell root/ROM if no download mode/ recovery?
I could understand if I f***ed it up when flashing something but as I say I was doing nothing at the time.
Thanx in advance for any info!
Theirs a thread started called "borrow a jig near you" if you cannot access download, recovery or anything I think that's the only option you have or the dreaded service centre lol

Happened to mine. Totally dead, was sitting on desk so wasn't touched between last use.
Sent it to Samsung (Regenersis) who replaced a power management IC and the main board.
Sadly it returned with very poor cell reception so went back, and has since come back still with poor reception, scratches, and lint under the camera glass! Not too happy with Samsung's repair centre atm!

If it returned with more problems, you can ask for a replacement.
You don't think I have already?! Haha
So far my pleas are falling on deaf ears. Spent several hours on the phone to them when it come back, before I got someone who would escalate it further and am waiting for their response

Cheers for the replies. Looks like it's off to the service center for a fix and some added problems.
Just hope they can't check the flash counter or ill be paying for it!
EDIT: just spoke to my carrier and because its only a few months old they will replace if free of charge!
Anyone know if it will still have all my personal info on it or is it too dead to talk to anyone?

If they replace it, they will send it to the service centre at their expense so it will be wiped anyway

My i9300 all of a sudden stops charging.
I disassembled it and the next day decided to plug it in again. It charged up until 48%, when i plugged it out for use again.
Now, one day later it again won't charge... weird?
I'm trying to buy a usb port connector and want to replace it as i think the problem lies there, but how do i do this?
All the youtube video's are only replacing the simple stuff.
I have tried using another battery + batterycharger, this is not the problem. The phone still doesn't charge. I really suspect there is oxidation inside the USB connector.
Hope there's anybody who can help with replacing it.
should be the cable problem? many cases on this!
If you don't know any better about hardware, why don't you just buy an additional battery and battery charger... through could be little bit inconvenient

Thanks but this isn't the case with me. I really suspect there is oxidation inside the USB connector. So could anyone help with how to replace this? I live in the Netherlands.
You said you dissembled it, you have enough knowledge about it?
I don't have much myself too but I tried my hands on my older devices in many cases, so I can only suggest you that the charging point which is a usb port would be connected to your pcb which needs to be disconnected with the help of an soldering iron and then you can replace it with a new one. However do it only if you have subsequent knowledge.
Also before trying anything try more chargers, I came to know that none of the generic and few original ones couldn't charge mine too. Check for their voltage.

alright, thanks for the reply. But my device is flashed around 1000 times and it looks like i opened beercans with it. So this would not create a healthy warranty argument i guess. This is why i'm trying to do it myself.
Now all of a sudden it charges again, when i left it at the charger... so definately no charger problem. maybe oxidation/waterdamage from raindrops?

You have already flashed your device 1000's of time, soo i'd recommend you to flash it back to stock and try triangle away application
It did work for me
Soo .. if you manage too get system status back too normal, you can easily claim your warrenty
Put it in a bag of rice for a day so any water kind of damage is gone.

Ok so my father in law was updating an app in the play store on his galaxy S2 and it crashed the phone on the update. He pulled the battery out and now it will not switch on. If you plug the charger in you get no display. He has a spare battery and has tried that and still nothing. I have experience with flashing rooms on my galaxy note so any tips to get his phone working again would be great. He is with Vodafone in the UK.

Phone warranty expired on the 19/06/13 Vodafone unwilling to help, Oh well. Thanks for everyone input
Try a local mobile shop. And a service centre might still fix it for you, they'll just charge through the nose for it. Your best bet is to get a 2nd hand motherboard from a donor phone (eBay/Google) & either swap it in yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it. Or given how long you've had the phone, get a new one.

Damn ... have the same problem (phone died from one moment on the other, no reaction to any buttons and/or cables, no charging. Battery is fine).
So I searched and found a shop that claims it can resurrect such a dead phone. So I packed my dead phone with the battery attached into a plastic bag and was about to send it in, when I noticed the device was VERY WARM ... So it seems something inside is still alive or at least is wasting battery ... Do you think my motherboard has died, too?
Does it get hot near the camera?
If so, send it away.
