That depends. Do you have insurance? Shattered/cracked display isn't usually covered by the warranty since it's a user error and not a manufacturing error. It's a different story if it was cracked out of the box, but they won't fix it for free if you dropped it yourself.

How'd it happen? Man that screen will cost A LOT to replace outside of insurance.

I just cracked mine last night also ... Put it in my back pocket, forgot, and then SAT on it like an idiot. Cracked glass, bleeding colors, and now capacitative touch broken. Anyone know a Sony repair centre?

You'll find u will have to replace both the digitizer and the lcd as they are bonded together very closely due to sony wanting to decrease the space between them both.
And because of the screen size and tech you won't find one cheaper than £125 which is decent quality...

The crappy thing about these new LCD/screen from Sony is that they fused it really well and they said it's pretty much impossible to separate the front glass and the LCD unlike Samsung phones. I spoke with Sony repair center about my xperia Z having the same issue as yours and describe to them the problem. The tech said, it seems that i just need the front glass digitizer replaced. So judging from what he said, it is possible to separate the front glass digitizer from the LCD. The problem now is how??? I see in ebay and in aliexpress sellers are selling just the front glass digitizer. I wish someone could really show how to do it. I am in the process of experimenting it. I will try to separate the two together to see if it will work, if it doesn't I will order the LCD assembly along with the digitizer from ali express for like $125 .

You need heat gun and Copper thin rope and patience, the final product does not have the look of factory

I read on xperiablog.net that on XZU, XZ1 and XZ seem to have all a similar problem, where the glass breaks itself for no reason at all.
It seems that Sony will fix the screen under warranty if there are no signs of the phone ever fell.
If otherwise the broken glass is the result of a dive on the cement, then bye bye warranty...

Thank God I wasn't the only one that sounded crazy! I couldn't figure out why my screen broke on my C6833! I'm getting my phone back Monday and my bank account has not been charged the $355 they originally quoted me. Hopefully they won't be charging me AT ALL!

When I removed the glass screen assembly the lcd did seperate from the front glass/ digitizer but not the way it was suppose to causing the lcd to get damaged. The lcd part is actually a flexable sheet on top of the backlight sheet. The part that breaks is the electrical flex wires at the top that's glued to the front glass. You might be able to get them apart but most likely it will break in the process.

Hello
Can we make the change only touch glass, when the LCD screen is intact? in an authorized repair center Sony.
I read on the forum prices ranging up to $ 350, but with the LCD screen!
I know it is not possible or very difficult to even the fair itself, but in a Sony repair center, you do not? why pay $ 350 for a screen Lcd? He did not need to be changed! especially if a touchscreen is costs only $ 50.
My question centers authorized Sony repair can only change the touchscreen (no lcd)? : Confus:
Merci.

I believe the LCD panel and the glass are fused together; also called "zero gap display", so it's basically impossible to only change the glass. You can tell that it's zero gap by holding your finger straight down on the glass. Notice that there's no gap or air between the pixels and your finger (it looks like you're touching the LCD, and not glass).

Much harder to fix than you think
It's damn-near impossible to get the screen off without cracking it way more.
You need to remove the back as well as the front to disconnect cables.
The back is made of glass (I didn't realize - thought it was plastic - oops) - and also will crack really easily if you try to pull it off.
You can get cheaper screens by googling for them - eBay is the most expensive.
Might be better to just buy a brand new phone - after parts, labor, and postage, it's about the same price as a new one...
