So recently the touch screen has stopped responding, i tried everything from restarting to a full wipe but got nothing.
i eventually took it apart and saw that one of the pins on the display ribbon connector was black so it had shorted.
what i want to know is would there be a way to control my phone through my computer? i restored a back up so i have sidesync 3.0 but no way to start it without touchscreen.
is there any thing i can do?
Hi,
Try getting an USB OTG cable (I bought mine for just 2-3$ on eBay), and plug in an USB mouse on it, so you can use the cellphone with the mouse. I did that to backup my Xperia Z1 when its touch screen stopped working .
Good luck, hope you can do it!

Hi guys
I have someone gave me O2 xda exec saying that it was not working on booting it up I could here all the sounds of the O/S and if I attach to a pc it would sync and I could browse the files on the PDA, which mains it was the screen that was faulty, well I got it for nothing I thought I open up this bad boy and see if it was something I could fix. on separating the lid from the main body I notice the cable has been snap were someone had rotated the screen around and round until the cable snap. What I was wondering is what the cable is called and could I get a spare one from the internet.
Flex Cable. Can be found on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Flex-Cable-for-...90280760583QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories
Thx that is what i need
My Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is 2 years old. The last few months, I have had problems charging the phone and connecting it to the computer.
In order to charge, I have to "wiggle" the cable into the right position. When I try connecting to the computer via cable, the phone appears to disconnect again within few seconds, and then reconnect - I am returned to the screen that shows the green android figure and that asks if I want to connect to the computer.
I have tried with a new USB cable. Charging gets easier (not so much "wiggling" required), but the problem with connecting to the computer is the same.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is this a hardware weakness, so that Sony should repair it? Or should I just buy a new phone?
Hardware Weakness
Should probably rephrase... Is this a KNOWN hardware weakness with this type of phone, so that it should be covered by the reclamation rights?
If not, the store will probably claim that this is my fault, or a device only expected to last 2 years, so that I have to buy a new phone.
Had a similar problem, solution?? Well is easy, if look (in your phone) into thd little microusb hole, youll find a little object like a sheet. Just move it. Up or down with a little screwdriver. Try the usb if not working move it upside down. JUST DO IT WITH CAUTION THAT PIECE IS TOO WEAK AND IS DANGEROUS. IT WORKED FOR ME BUT I CANNOT WARRANTY ITLL WORK FOR YOU

I've got the same problem.. but there is no sw solution (of course..), so you have to fix it manualy.. I wanted to do it myself, but there are too small micro ****s, so I left that... I'll try it later..
I just had the same problem as yours and I asked for a technician to solder a new USB port for me. And he did it, I no longer have this problem. It is a very annoying problem, sometimes when you're transferring datas, the USB would disconnect with a just a slight bump.
I've got this problem on my x10 also, but beware - it may be something as simple as the USB cable is worn out. I thought my problem was with the phone, until I used a car charger with it and it charged perfectly - no wiggling of the cable required.

Thanks for all the replies.
Unfortunately, it is easier to buy a new phone than to go through the 3-weeks process of having a service center determine if the problem can be solved and if it will cost me.
Fortunately, I'm able to use another phone to copy the data from my memory card onto my computer, before I switch to a new phone
To the last poster: As written, I tried with a new cable, without much luck.
Well the microusb on my N7 has been half broken for almost a year now (worked only the first month before it was dropped with a cable in). Its always been able to charge and it must be a hardware issue, my other N7 connects fine to the same computer port and cable. I've also tried many other cables and computer.
Now normally this isn't a huge deal as I just transfer things I need over samba but I now have a new situation.
An OTA bootlooped it, its with stock recovery, factory reset still results in a bootloop, I can get to the bootloader fine but since my data connection never works fastboot is a no go, replacement microusb modules are $60+
I replaced the screen last month myself so my warranty is gone.
I'd like to make a temporary connection to the motherboard just to fastboot a factory image and twrp. There seem to be a few data points that could work, this thread shows one beside the battery connector http://rootzwiki.com There is also the one on the microusb module itself above the actual plug but that whole module could be messed up so I'd rather try another.
I'm not great with soldering and there is no way I could solder either of those spots on my own. Are there any other spots that would be easier? Would only the data +/- points be needed to the cable? Or is the 5v and ground needed to?
Thanks!!
If I'm not mistaken if you buy a n7 official dock. It connects via the 4 round brass dots on the bottom of your n7 I forget what the proper term is lol. Anyways its the same as USB as far as I know. Or find the pinout of them and make something.

Looked into it, its charge only, no data. Thanks though
Some asshole knocked my verizon g2 out of my hand at the bar the other night on my way out. Landed face down and cracked the screen. The screen is completely unresponsive to touch. Turns on, charges, and works just fine minus the ability to interact with the device via touch.
I just got my insurance replacement in the mail, and I have a few days before I need to send the old one back in to verizon. I have no pin number on the lock screen, but I have no way to put the device into MTP to transfer files over. How can I pull all my files off this? Is it possible?
Any help!?

Ya I was going to try and find an OTG cable today to attempt that. Hopefully that works
Another idea was to swap out the screen to the old one get the files and then replace it back on the new one. But I quickly decided against that after watching the videos. To much trouble for something to go wrong.
Hey Guys!
So my nexus 6p dislay broke yesterday and the display is completely f****d... the digitizer reacts on a few places but i can't boot the phone because i have secure start-up encryption enabled and the screen doesn't react at the first number of the pin but on every else it does.
but i really really need some of the files that are on the phone so my question is: do you think i can somehow get them from my phone? I have TWRP installed if that somehow could help
Thanks!

Hook up OTG and connect USB mouse n keyboard. You can try this....https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395. You might need screen replacement if you realllllly want your files.
