Hello, I have a problem with my Sk17i, the screen is not working, I do not know if it is hardware problem or system problem, pressing the power button the phone vibrates, lights up the screen but does not give image, is charging also normally, turns the Flash light when charging, but there is no picture, stay in black screen, when I press the home button the screen turns on but no image, a technician in support told me it was something like the problem of the motherboard for upgrade to ICS (but it was ICS from three months ago), so I think that's not the problem, any suggestions of what could be or a possible solution
I really are appreciate your help.

You couldn't have done any fatal damage since you still have locked BL (except probably hardware-based).
Why not try repairing with SEUS (Sony Ericsson update service) or PC companion?

Well,my U20i (x10 Mini Pro) have using a custom Rom for a long time and it is really great....until one day (this post date) my phone turn off by me because I want to conserve the battery,and then when I want to turn it on,it vibrate (with no light) and I can see the LCD displaying a very ultra low light level of screen (same like phone won't boot screen) so I reflash it again using the Rom I like but not work... :'(
I'm now try to recover my phone using Update Service aka SEUS right?And can someone give me other way to fix this problem?Also my accelerometer seems not working/functioning when this problem occur...yesterday everything was great but this day the problem occured...
Have you try the factory reset? Long ago my E10i can't use the WiFi, when i turn it on there's no hotspot detected and after 5 second it turn off automatically, even if i try to flash the ROM again, the problem still occur... Until i do the factory reset, it's working normally again... Just give it a try ,well if you don't mind to lose your apps...

if I understood, your phone boot but the display doesn't turn on.
since seems like this happen since turning the phone on. we can say that for some reason the screen isn't responding. so... you can try to reflash it again and see it that help in something.
the worst could be that the screen got damage in some way.
If i were you,I would reflash stock from via SEUS. And then see what happens. I only hope that it isn't a hardware issue

It sounds to me that your battery was just too low... You turned it off to conserve battery and then when you turned it on it gave you a notification sound...
it does that when it wants to turn off because of low battery...
just let it charge, i don't think it's much of a problem.
Well I flashed a stock Rom and the problem still occur...accelerometer doesn't work and phone display isn't on when boot (but the phone is on,yeah it is on just display have no light)

Have you tried doing a factory wipe? Flash a new firmware?
Also, speak English. I barely understood what you wrote.
I have the same thing.
Screen goes on automatically with ALL versions of ICS or JB.
Only with Gingerbread roms screen is OK.
What's different between GB and ICS/JB.
Is this a kernel problem, or a ROM problem??
Currently on Slim bean rom
Hi, so sorry for the vague thread title, but really, there's no other way to describe it. So here's what happened.
For the past few weeks (or month), my Xperia Ray has had a problem of switching on after it was put into standby mode, i.e. after i pressed the lock button. The screen would light up, however would remain blank. So all I would get is a bright black screen.
I could have lived with this for a few more months (until Xperia Z gets released in my country D: ) however this problem started getting worse. At first, after pressing the home button, the volume rockers and/or the lock button for about 20 times, the screen would turn on (finally). Despite it giving me that bright black screen, i could still operate the screen. I could still try to unlock it because of the haptic feedback on my lockscreen. I could still change music tracks on my music widget on my lockscreen. In short, the screen worked perfectly, only that it kinda wouldn't show. However, for the past week, the only way to turn it back on would be to do a battery pull and switch on the phone again. And it recently developed a problem of giving me that bright black screen again when I switch it on, causing me to do about 5 battery pulls before being able to actually use my phone again.
I did get fed up with this problem, being a heavy user of my phone. Therefore, today I decided to try to do a factory reset of my phone, intending to wipe the dalvik cache + clear all user data, thinking it might help my bright black screen problem. However, I found that I couldn't boot into recovery because all my phone would do was to give me that bright black screen again! So after many battery pulls, I managed to boot up my phone normally and do a factory reset under the backup & restore tab in settings. Of course, the phone tried to reboot itself, but of course, just gave me the bright black screen.
I kinda gave up at this point, and did many battery pulls and boots, however, all I got was either
1. the terrible bright black screen
or less frequently
2. the free xperia project logo then the terrible bright black screen.
I did get very fed up, so I plugged it into a wall socket to charge it. However, since about an hour or two ago, I realised it may be on bootloop. When I plug it into a wall socket, the free xperia project logo shows up and then an even brighter black screen shows up for about 3-5 minutes, then those two repeat endlessly. The notification light doesn't show that it's charging at all.
Okay here's background info on my phone.
- Is rooted
- Bootloader is unlocked
- CM 9.1 is installed
- Was running GO Launcher (if that helps)
- had a custom boot animation
- I think i deleted an apk for the google start up configuration thing...the one that asks if you have any google accounts you want to connect when you switch on your phone for the first time. I'll search up the correct apk name if you need it.
- Is about a year old (got it last early April)
- is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (in case you didn't notice haha)
- battery level was about 20%+ when I did a factory reset (terrible of me I know)
- I have tried to caliberate the battery a few months ago
That's all the background info I can think you need. Please do let me know if you need any other info. If you need the logcat text of what happens when I hit the lock button at the top of my phone and the phone gives me the bright black screen (the early stages of this problem), let me know and I'll dig it up. I think I've bricked it, but I can't boot it into recovery so I can't do anything. And I did all I could google for the bright black screen problem which I won't tire you by specifying here. Please do help me. It seems as if the worst of evils has befallen my phone. Now I'm stuck here with my phone crazily on bootloop beside me. Please please do help.
Flash stock rom
Just try flashing a stock rom with Flashtool. If the problem persists, then it could be a hardware problem. Flashing a stock ftf takes care of all software issues. Get the stock ics FTF file and place it in firmwares folder of flashtool. Start flashtool and select flash mode. Then choose your ftf and press ok. Then wait until it prompts you to connect your phone. Then, just turn off your phone, while holding the power button down attach the USB cable. The LED notification should turn green and wait until it finishes flashing.
flash extended stock kernel and then the stock ftf firmware file...
hit thanks if i helped u

Hi, if your phone can still be switched on and hasn't progressed so far in being destroyed, you could try downloading the Disable Auto Brightness app for Xperia phones from the Play Store. I've read somewhere that the screen might not turn on because of the auto brightness. I'm not sure if it actually helps, but perhaps my phone would have died faster without it. I've read of people changing their battery, doing battery calibrations or changing their screen to fix the problem. But before you change the hardware, I suggest that you check the hardware first. If the Disable Auto Brightness doesn't work, do a Nandroid backup and store the backup somewhere safe. Then flash the stock firmware to your phone and try to get it to switch on. Do flash the firmware before your phone runs out of battery because you never know, your phone may decide to refuse to charge your battery anytime. Then try to switch it on. If your phone goes into a bootloop (like mine now) really consider getting a new phone or sending it for repair or try all day to fix it if you use your phone alot. I'm still trying to fix mine.
I flashed the original firmware for my phone, tried to turn it on, was very happy when I saw the original Xperia logo, but then I realised it was on bootloop. When I tried to charge it, it immediately turns on and goes into bootloop again. Logcat doesn't detect my phone, so I can't obtain the logcat of what's happening. I haven't tried to replace the battery of my phone because I couldn't find a supplier. But I'll go on trying to fix my phone until the day that it really breaks down. Good luck with yours and keep us posted.

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Xperia Z2. After unlocking the display on the device is blank. You can see the brightness, the touch works, because when I swipe my fingers I can hear android sound but there is no picture. I must do "lock - unlock" pattern 3-4 times, sometimes even more to get the display work properly. I tried to fix it by using software repair but it didnt work, and also
factory reset. Its just so iritating, I cant even lock my phone anymore, I try to keep the display on as much as possible if someone trys to call me so I can answer it. Device is currently running on Existenz ROM but the issue started on the stock so I flashed custom rom but it didn't help. So this is probably a hardware problem and if it is, what could be broken ( is it display, GPU,whatever ) or it could be a software problem ? Any help would be appreciated.
Can you see your lockscreen?

No, no the "lock-unlock pattern" is reffered to simply pressing the unlock button on the phone. There is just blank display and light is on as I mentioned but no picture. After pressing button many times the picture finaly comes and then it's normal. It only happens when phone goes to sleep mode or after I lock it.
If your phone reboots can you see the SONY logo and the boot animation as well?

Nope, there is nothing. Just a sound and LED works, and blank screen. Then again, when the phone finally reboots, pressing lock-unlock button will do the trick. It seems like, when I dont touch the phone longer time, it's harder to get screen on. But when I constantly work with the phone there is no need for that amount of "lock - unlock button move".
mby RIP graph.. try flashtools..

It's probably hardware, now it's just a question of repair cost and is it worth it ?

I think this is due to a faulty LCD screen, but the digitalizer seems fine. So maybe you could consult some local repair shops and prove if my hypothesis is correct. But first of all you should try also flashing another kernel (eg elite kernel) first to see if it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.

Hi all,
i really dont know what happened to my phone. the screen turns black instantly after showing the samsung logo on the start up i tried to reflash a fresh firmware but didnt do the job. the screen is showing the download mode also but after restarting and showing the samsung logo the screen turns to black. sometimes it flickers and shows some of the screen but turns off instantly
is there any fix to this ? does my phone encountered a water damage ? i tried the water damage test on the sim tray but the sticker seems to be on its original state no water damage at all any assistance would help i hope the lcd is not broken my country is on a lockdown and service centers open at this moment. i really need the phone for my work
Thanks
you have to turn on AOD to fix this I guess because I had a similar issue with my screen so a temporary fix is to turn on AOD then press power button screen will work fine pressing the power button directly when the screen is off flickers it and the screen turns completely black after a weird yellow flash.
