Basicaly, the phone lights up, i.e. keypad and side lights and is turned on, however the screen is black. Is it a hardware problem? Will i need to take it in? As far as i am aware it hasnt been knocked heavily or damaged or submerged in water.. The problem occured fairly randomly and the screen flashed white a few times before going completely blank. There was also a peroid where the side lights were red, is that an error indication? thanks.
Get a new lcd screen of ebay for bout 10 pound
Hi,
This is most probably a software/firmware issue with the phone. Try updating the software with the Sony Ericsson update service.

If this doesn't work you will need to have it flashed with proper equipment,

Tried the update service, didn't work. Thanks anyways, but i suspect i'm gonna have to take it in =\.
My phone went dead, then I charged it and was sending a text and in the middle of it my screen went black and it doesn't work now, although everything else does.
My w580i screen is blank but when i first switch the phone on the screen is white with lines going down.I check the lcd ,ribbon cable and even a software upgrade was dont.But the phone still does the same thing.Any solutions to this problem?
my sony ericsson 810i phone fell down,and since after when ever i put it on the screen blinks.what wrong
My phone was freezing up, so I finally took out the battery.
Later I tried to turn on the phone, but the screen remains dark and the side blinks red.
The phone doesn't recognize the charger either.
Is the phone fixable or does it need to be taken in?
