Dropped Xperia 10 III

It was the best :sob:.

Sad. Will you change the screen?

(AM)OLED panels are kind of fragile with drop, it’s often an all-or-nothing result. My C2 fell about six times onto hard surfaces like stone floors and a marble table, but inside its transparent cover there are no scratches or damage, screen and touch working with no problems.

I would say that if the battery is still healthy, a repair could be worth it if you can get a display for about €50, otherwise you could buy a used one for around €100.

I can still SSH in so might just relegate it to server status and wait for the J2.

Just bummed, was all set up so nice :confused:

Did this to my XA2. Replaced the screen based on some video. It is not so difficult. Would guess you could get a new one for around 50€. Only thing I also had to replace was the battery cable inside because I broke it.

As target for compiling of app may be still usefull, or?

I’m sorry for your loss.

…but I also want congratulate you for gaining a new timelapse camera :wink:

I borked the display of a XA2 and now it’s a great remote sensor in all sorts of projects.

Get well soon; perhaps your J2 phone got angry when it heard that it was coming :smiley:

Aliexpress are offering new 10 iii displays for £32 (+/- 36 euros), but they are TFT not OLED but look on the bright side…. price includes free shipping and tax paid. (GB). :wink:
