Inadvertantly dropped the W810i and now the screen is white with vertical stripes on either side of the screen. Buttons all work and sound is clear. When the screen changes (like going from application to application) the stripes change color as if the picture is trying to come through. Have updated the firmware as I've been already told the warranty has run out. Still the same problem. Would changing the screen rectify the problem or is it more of a circuit board issue? Please help as I really like this phone and want to keep it.
If you are seeing a white screen with stripes the LCD itself has gonebad. Dropping it just right some times causes the to happen without actually cracking the lcd screen
Replacing the LCD screen on the Sony W810i is a pretty straight forward procedure and should then take care of the problem. A new LCD screenruns about 30 dollars from Ebay.
Take a look at the following link to see instructions and links to buy the lcd screen
