For bluetooth, setting both to search will not work. Setting 1 to search and 1 discoverable will more likely to work. Hope this help.

Hi guys,

I opened up my Sony Ericson Z520i (the part with the keypad) and found out there was a tear in the flex cable. The problem is I can seem to open up the casing of the side with the screen. I'm afraid of breaking the casing. Could help give me detailed instructions on how to do it so I can replace the cable?

Thanks.

hey guys bought my phone last nov 16, 2007.
got the WSOD problem ur talking about last nov2,2007 /

Went to greenhills (Phil) got it checked and fixed (for Php 900.00 -ouch! - quite pricy). the problem is the flex of the fone since its a flip phone it would really abused and im guilty!Ü

so stop whining and get your fone fixed if you want, or why dont sell your phone, by the way if the problem is your lcd that would cost you round Php 1,300.00
not sure if that's for the two screens already,

hope this helps.Ü

I droped mine from quite a hight and now the external screen doesn't work
Will reconecting or replacing the flex cable fix this or does it only work with the main screen
I could live without the external screen and wouldn't be willing to risk the main screen to fix it

Jibon, you are a genius. I opened my phone and found that the flex cable was a little lose. I disconnected it an reconnected the cable a few times and now it works like a champ. No more WSOD! Thanks

It looks really good inside and out but unfortunately won't last very long. Mine remained suprisingly scratch free from the outside but software went completely crazy after 2 years, the screen doesn't connect anymore, all I get is a blanc screen or spinning imagages of the menu...blaah

Bought in May '05 WSOD Oct '07. Loved the way the phone was set up and the features it had. Listen to the guy with the long email if you saved your numbers to the phone rather than the SIM card it works!! Hopefully Sony will notice the number of failures it launched under its name and repay its customers in some way.Just manufacture a phone that works with the integrity that Sony customers expect!!

Just putting it out there:
Thankfully they don’t make this phone anymore. Went through, no lie, 6 of them. Either it would white screen for no reason, randomly stop getting service, or my favorite, the screen would turn blue and start spinning as I would try to use it. Horrible. and even better, each time Cingular would replace my phone with a "rehabbed" one. Half the ones they sent me were white screened straight out of the box. I sent four back before getting one that would actually turn on. Then three months later the screen got gradually darker and started spinning, it finally just died one day. Cingular wouldn’t replace it because the warranty had expired, even though they were the ones who kept sending the defective phones.
This phone was such a headache. if you have the choice do not buy it.

Got this phone about 14 months ago, had it die (WSOD) after about 8 months. Got a replacement and was happy with how speedy it was... until last week when my replacement went WSOD. Now I'm 2 for 2 and they wont replace since im over the 1 year warranty.

I brought 2 of this on an Cingular Plan Now AT&T. Both phones had blank screens under the 1yr warrenty at least 2 times. Both phones after the 1 yr period had white blank screens 1 mo before the contract was up. I it used my phone sat it on my desk, picked it back up 5 mins later no LDC white screen. I never dropped it or did it get wet. AT&T said there have been no known problems with LDC.
