[@xaviimatisse6427]

This just happened to my phone while I was washing dishes. I was like, "Wait I charged it. Why did it turn off?" So I tried charging it and it didn't work. It happened to me once before. I also notice it gets really hot when I use it too much especially with apps and games. But this truly worked!! Thank you and thank God!! But I don't think I want a phone that does this. So I'm returning it and exchanging it. But thank you so much for the help!!!

[@Eliugalde]

¿Can you come to Mexico and help me with mine ):? I'll give you tacos~

[@EricWitrigs]

Eli Ugalde Hi, it is easy and simple to replace, so you can try by yourself, but be careful.

[@jasonparrish633]

I like tacos

[@Chichul]

Hey Thank You for this video. You Helped me! :)

[@akirameru1996]

Pls help me i accidentally scratch my xperia z1 caseing i wonder how much. Cost of the part case and cost for repair/ changing with new original case for my xperia z1 :-)

[@Ali.Barakat]

Thanks for this nice video, how many degrees in celcius should i put the heat gun?

[@tonyhacker341]

Hi, The best guide that I have noticed was on Volt daddy (i found it on google) Without a doubt the most informative info on batteries and this same gear that I have found.

[@JACKii3GB]

Does any battery for the Z1 work? Someone told me there was a serial number on the battery and on the phone that needed to be the same.

[@Nemesisama]

Where can I get that quick drying glue?

[@TheScuzzboy99]

can you do a video of putting the NFC chip with it since most spare batter covers dont have it?

[@e2zippo]

Thanks for the video, is the procedure the same for Z1 Compact? What sort of glue are you using?

[@EricWitrigs]

hi, dear Östberg, this is quickly-drying glue.

[@GameH8rs]

can you guys do a sim reader repair vid for z1..

[@nanogami95]

Do you have a repair guide for the ZTE Blade A602 screen/LCD?

[@draxgo]

Hi, where did you get the quick drying glue?

[@RolfLog]

Hi Wit Rigs. It shurly must be better to insert fast drying silicone with gluing effects around the edges to totally make it waterproof... Like the silicone you make Aquariums from..... (?)

[@Jchin002]

How would I change the battery cover of the z3 compact? Would I need to buy an additional sticker with the cover you sell online? And can I use anything besides a heat gun to warm the adhesive? Thanks!

[@EricWitrigs]

J Chin The new battery cover comes with new adhesive sticker, www.witrigs.com/replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z3-compact. So you don't need to buy a new sticker. And you can use a hair dryer to warm the adhesive.

[@rikeshkylas3200]

Hi, my Xperia Z1 is different when I opened it up, it does not have that black plastic cover around the battery and camera, on my device the back is open and i can see circuity along with the motherboard and so on. Is it fine if I stick the cover just like that?

[@santoshshrestha8900]

Xperia z1is very nice

[@ja_agent9061]

Is it still waterproof after that?

[@danlordha]

hi. can you tell us what glue you use? tks

[@rough9448]

what exactly gadegets are those which helped you to open the back cover??

[@ziggychicano1214]

I found your witrigs website and was wondering, if I replace my back cover, with your replacement back, will it still be waterproof?? Have you tested it?

[@EricWitrigs]

Hi, Dear Chicano, using the original replacement and ensuring you have stressed all the edges with adhesive sticker tightly, your Xperia Z1 is still waterproof under the professional install skill, powerful confidence and considerate heart.

[@stanleytse622]

hi, i got a crack back screen on my xperia z2. do it work the same? and do i need to take out the chip on the back cover? does the adhesive comes with the order? because i was so confused when i was trying to order from your website. thanks alot

[@EricWitrigs]

1. Here is the vedio to tell how to replace the screen for z2 How to replace Sony Xperia Z2 LCD screen . 2.The adhesive doesn't come with the LCD screen, if you want replace your screen, you need the LCD supporting frame sticker www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-supporting-frame-sticker-for-sony-xperia-z2 and the back cover sticker www.witrigs.com/oem-back-cover-sticker-for-sony-xperia-z2.

[@ripredpanda]

[@videoshub535]

do you test you phone under a water?? I recently changed my back glass at z1 and the sim card reader, so I'm interested in right and still waterproof or not

[@EricWitrigs]

hi, dear Toplica, After replacing those parts, your phone maybe not works well in waterproof any more.

[@videoshub535]

after the change, I put my phone in the water a little al then I just clouded glass of cameras inside and tomorrow the day it's all gone. so I am interested in right now, something dangerous? Thank you.

[@FauArMaofficial]

sorry for questioning so many times, but when I replace the back cover with a new one, can I put or use the same NFC Antenna?

[@EricWitrigs]

hi, dear Arias, yes, u can use the same NFC Antenna on new back cover.

[@nikograndas]

hi witrigs, do you include the glue with the set

[@EricWitrigs]

Yes, you can look at here www.witrigs.com/oem-battery-cover-replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z1-white

[@carlosguillen9180]

Hi, I have a Z1 and I shattered the rear glass, shown in the video completely? or are there two types? whether that change in the video?

[@EricWitrigs]

Hello, dear Carlos, your rear glass was shattered, if u want to replace it by yourself , u need one Heat Gun/Blow Dryer to heat up the edges and sides of the back cover in order to loosen the adhesive that secures the cover, then u can use Guitar Picks along the edges and sides in order to loosen the adhesive so you can take off the cover.remove the cracked glass and the adhesive, the next u need to replace one new adhesive on the back housing, put on the new rear glass, u can do as our video did or go to our z1 teardown blog:www.witrigs.com/blog/sony-xperia-z1-teardown/

[@FauArMaofficial]

the one that you sell in the website come with the logo?

[@EricWitrigs]

Hello, dear fausto, yes, we providing the back cover is original,and Sony Xperia logo is present on it.

[@alek5201]

Does this work on the Xperia z1s?

[@zoebarns6895]

Hey, The best ideas that I have read was on Volt daddy (i did a google) Without a doubt the most informative info on batteries and this same gear that I have found.

[@Butterchickenkid]

I'm never done something like this before although I have worked with the internals of intricate expensive devices before. Do you think I would be able to replace the back of a Z? Thanks! :)

[@EricWitrigs]

It is not difficult to replace the back of a Z, you need to heat the back of the phone by a heat gun, and then remove the back cover by suction cup and guitar picks. Remember not ot overheat it. If you don't have dissambled any phone ever before and are afarid to cause some damages to your phone, you'd better ask the professional for help.

[@Butterchickenkid]

Wit Rigs Oops, I meant a Z1. But yeah I can imagine it's the same concept. What's the worst that could go wrong?

[@MazwiZwane]

Hows it guys, o got a Z1 with a cracked glass, the lcd is still working fine but the touch digitizer seems to be damaged cause the top part of the phone's touch isnt working. recommendations?

[@EricWitrigs]

You can try to replace the LCD with the digitizer.

[@WilyWoolley]

When I replaced my battery cover, the cover doesn't seem to be sitting flat with the phone around the bottom third of the phone. I think it's due to the battery pushing it up slightly preventing it from adhering properly and sitting flush. I was wondering if this was normal when replacing the battery cover, thanks.

[@UsainBolt131]

I've took the back of my Phone off as it was cracked and smashed right through however some sort of motherboard it's just under the camera lens and just above the battery,it hasn't come off with the cover,it is on it's own,what should I do?shall I stick it back on or? My phone is working without it though,thank you!

[@alvinromo]

Does it really need the Quickly Drying glue, or can I get away with just the sticker adhesive? Where can I buy the sticker adhesive?

[@EricWitrigs]

+Atheist Gamer we use some quickly drying glue just to make sure the back cover stick tightly, it's not a must-have item, this is the back cover adhesive sticker link, www.witrigs.com/oem-back-glass-adehesive-sticker-replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z1

[@Eduardo.Marques.]

hi i had broken the lcd of my z1 and i have to change the lcd to another one if a opening the z1 he continuous waterproof ?? Please answer me

[@EricWitrigs]

hello, dear Eduardo, It still features waterproof if u make sure all the Adhesive Sticker are completely stick to the back cover and frame together.The Original Adhesive Sticker plays an essential part in preventing water infiltration from back cover gap.

[@djelia77]

[@EricWitrigs]

hi, djelia77, if your nfc chip is working well , u needn't get a new one

[@selwynbarreto1584]

What is that quick drying glue

[@antonioivagnes]

Hello, I have broke the back glass of my xperia z2, you think it's still waterproof? I was told that in the inner glass has as a film, you can confirm this?

[@EricWitrigs]

The phone is not waterproof with this broken back cover. And there is not a film on the back glass of Xperia Z2.

[@antonioivagnes]

Thank You!

[@thesniperofcs]

I want to replace the battery and the back cover, for sure I must use new adhesive sticker, is it going to be water proof or not? and it is worth fixing or just buying a new phone is the solution?

[@EricWitrigs]

If you replace the battery and back cover, it is not going to waterproof again, but it is easy to replace.

[@thesniperofcs]

Wit Rigs even if I used new adhesive sticker?

[@EricWitrigs]

yes, even if you use a new adhesive, it's still not enough to remain waterproof, cause the original phone was assembled by machine with specific temperature and pressure. if you wanna make it waterproof again, try to put on some B-7000 glue, here is a reference kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbFiKyVYpd1qM0&list=PLM3XYRzu8pIEsUC-f_S7SmQlrL96tfFyt&index=7

[@Franksstudio]

What sort of glass material is the back made of, I see that it can bend a little normal glass would break. I was wondering how strong the back is.

[@EricWitrigs]

Hello, dear, Frank,Z1 back cover glass is made of tempered glass, a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass.

[@hahahaha65496]

I recently mistakenly dropped my phone face down.No external damage happened to the screen but it totally went blank and now its not showing anything. will removing the battery and putting it back in help? also is there any other easier method to solve this problem?

Can i stick it without adhesive

[@angop5309]

itu pake lem apa gan yg botol plastik putih.?

[@Theyorkshiredad]

I found the camera lens (or the plastic over it) got scratched - it was taking poorly focused photos because of it. So I purchase a replacement back cover and set about replacing it. The replacement was poor and the housing around the the camera lens was different to the OEM cover I took off. Also, it was missing what I believe to be some of the antenna parts glued to the inside of the back cover. In the end I put the original back cover back on the phone but swap the plastic lens cover with that from the new cover - knowing full well this phone would never be waterproof again. Now it all still works, photos are pin sharp like before the OEM cover go scratched but they are good enough. The LED flash is useless now as any photo taken with flash is horrific. Also, I need to replace the glue holding it on and it's loose in places. Since doing all this though the WiFi strength has been really bad. It get better if I squeeze the back on tight so I assume I have a bad connection somewhere. What I'd like to get is a proper OEM replacement back cover with everything already attached but I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get one?

[@prashathhs5845]

If I have my Xperia Z1 screen digitiser replaced by the professional, will it still be waterproof ?

[@EricWitrigs]

prashath hs It is hard to keep waterproof. You can consult your local professional.

[@25paulin01]

What is that you use to heat up the phone? And what kind of tool can I use?

[@EricWitrigs]

+Paulo Henrique It is the heat gun. You can also use the hair dryer for help.

[@TheAdi4049]

Is it still water proof ?

[@RolfLog]

HELP... there are no NCF antenna on the new back replacement!! How do I get that over to the new one? Its glued into the old and broken glass...

[@EricWitrigs]

Rolf Log You need to tear it apart from the old glass very carefully, not to break it. Then test whether it can work for the new glass, if not, you' better buy a new NFC antenna www.witrigs.com/oem-nfc-chip-antenna-sensor-with-3m-sticker-replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z1

[@amiruldnie]

Wit Rigs thanks. but how? can i took away the back cover first?

[@haydenpernia6956]

amiruldnie Before taking the phone apart completely, try opening all the flaps, removing the sim card tray and micro sd card, and placing it in front of a dehumidifier or air conditioning unit for a day. This has worked multiple times for me.

I can't exactly see where I need to apply the adhesive, what are the most vital areas in which it should be? It would be greatly appreciated if you can get back to me on this.

[@EricWitrigs]

Plz see from 4'47. You need to apply the adhesive on the back glass aiming at its arrouding area.

[@eduardtodorov5949]

Hello, I have recently dropped my phone on its back. The cover is okey, its not cracked. The damage is only on the outer plastic frame around it, which after watching the video, seems you dont remove it. I want to ask if its possible only the plastic frame to be changed. I really hope that there is a way of doing that. Moreover I can see that from the right side the frame is a bit rised. Now i am affraid to use my phone under water. Cheers.

[@NDSno1]

Is it still waterproof after opening and re-closing?

[@EricWitrigs]

NDSno1 Two factors influence the result of waterproof function. One is the original adhesive sticker. The other one is the skill. For the professional repairer, the phone can keep waterproof after install the original part. But for a fresh man, he may fail.

[@PatchworkR66]

I got the nexus 6 after my second z3c...and didnt like it that much, now i got the note 4 instead of sgs6...and im again impressed with the note.... I had note 3 and it was the only phone that impressed me very much, as the note 4 does now:)

[@Skatted]

I just replaced the screen and battery on a xperia Z, and now it's will only turn on whilst charging. If i unplug the charger it will turn off, has any got any idea on how to fix this issue?

[@EricWitrigs]

It may be the battery contact problem. Try to install the battery again, or you can send it to the Sony care for help.

[@burdettboy213]

If I use the adhesive will this make my phone water proof again or no ?

[@EricWitrigs]

burdettboy213 Keep the phone waterproof; you need the original adhesive sticker and professional skill. Applying the original adhesive sticker, the shaking hands are fatal. So be careful and good luck.

[@thepeakofwisdom8632]

Wit Rigs hi..is it still water proof when opened??

[@EricWitrigs]

Ali Cassim It can be a little water proof by carefully and professional skills with original replacement. But to ensure the absoulte water resistance, you'd better have it repaired by the Sony service.

It will work well.

[@AlejandroVillena0108]

[@Butterchickenkid]

Will NFC still work after doing this?

[@EricWitrigs]

Yes. BTW, if you buy a new back cover without NFC, you should tear off the NFC from your old back cover and paste in the new one. Or you can buy a new back cover with NFC. You can look at these two different ones: 1.www.witrigs.com/oem-back-cover-assembly-for-sony-xperia-z1-white 2. www.witrigs.com/oem-battery-cover-replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z1-white

[@BrodcastingWorldwide]

Will doing this damage the waterproof seal?

[@EricWitrigs]

Zii Miller Yes, if your phone is replaced by the DIY repair work

[@BrodcastingWorldwide]

Can it be restored to it's original factory state?

[@EricWitrigs]

Zii Miller Only if it is replaced by the professional with original replacements.

[@mathewmcdiarmid9188]

Is it possible to replace the battery by doing this??

[@EricWitrigs]

Yes, you should remove the back cover firstly before you replace the battery.

[@mathewmcdiarmid9188]

Wit Rigs Thanks for the reply Wit Rigs :)

[@mohamed19970622]

by repalcing the back cover could i use it under water ?

[@EricWitrigs]

mohamed elhadi talmoudi Only when the phone is replaced by professional phone maintenance personnel with original replacement parts, can the phone be waterproof again. It is hard to confirm the situation of the phone if it isjust a DIY repair work. So if you replaced the phone by yourself, you should use it carefully.
