Camera (front+back) &flashlight not working after opening - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I opened my phone to replace the microphone because people were telling me they can't hear me well on the phone.
I followed instructions on ifixit and succeeded to replace it without any trouble...but...after that none of the cameras or flashlight were working
I ordered new ones but still not working...I think I might have broke something in the motherboard as they are related. Everything else is working fine.
Any ideas of what I might be missing here?
Thanks

I would open it again and double check that the cameras and light are still connected properly. The flat connectors can be tricky and look like they're connected but they haven't actually clicked in.

TV out not working on Verizon TP2

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my new touch pro 2 from verizon.
I purchased the act100 TV out cable:
http://store.wmexperts.com/htc-tv-out-cable-act100/11A75A5166A.htm
I plug it in as instrucated, the touch pro 2 asks me what type of signal i want (NTSC/PAL) then brings me to a screen where i can pick Presentations etc.
However the TV displays no images, i get sound but never a picture.
I have tried this on 2 different TV's and tried both NTSC and PAL and all i ever get is a blank screen with audio.
Am i missing something or is the device faulty?
thanks

Hi Raptor,
I have exactly this problem, and I am quite distressed, because it worked only a few days ago. Did you ever get this issue resolved? I know you listed the same issue on another forum, but I couldn't tell how you did it from the post. How did it work?
Cheers,
Joel
Sad to say i never made this work sorry.
Me too, and google around doesn't help anyway,
If it's has resolved, pls post it in here or pm me.
Thanks
Ok, some year ago i tried to make the sound work through the speakers in my car.
I opened up a soundcable and modifyed it to fool the phone that it was in video out mode.
So here's how the cables should be connected. I can post my pics of how it looks and maby someone's able to figure something out from it
Actually, it would be really easy to fool the phone that it's in Video out mode, just bend the gnd wire to the tv-detector wire, and solder them together (inside the cable that goes into your phone).
The blue and the orange pin needs to be connected to each other inside the cable housing.
Edit: To clear things out this actually works on my phone and whenever i connect the cable it swaps over to video-out mode. No problems at all.
Edit2: Nevermid, after reading through your post i noticed that you've already got the phone thinking it's in video out mode, so that's probably not the problem.

<internal speaker not working after screen replacement

After replacing my touch screen the internal speaker is not working anymore. I can only find external speakers for the TP2 on sites like ebay.
Anyone who knows how to find this part?
Now I can only use the external microphone to communicate. I just noticed that when I am charging the battery and switch from external to internal speaker, the telephone stops charging. (Charging light indicator is orange when I use internal speaker and is off when I switch to external speaker) Could this mean that something is wrong in the elec. scheme?

First of all hard reset and use your phone with no extra progs.
THen if the issues insists go there
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=...h+pro+2&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
and ask everybody on that list if they can get the internal speaker you need.
most probably it is common , and someone just needs to go into the trouble of finding exactly which model it is!
I am pretty confident it is gonna prove to be the same as the diamond 2 (maybe you recall from when you opened it up if it is the same!)

An since you are already familiar with it, why not give it another go with dismantling the phone and putting back together (maybe a loose connection somewhere?!)
Thnx!
It is the part in the first link you gave me. I couldn't find it cheaper as that ebay link! It a used part, but if it works it's good enough
This instruction video helped us a lot with replacing the screen. (and braking the speaker :s)

I had the same issue happen after I changed my digitizer upon reassemble I realized that upon removing the flex cable I missed the most important thing when removing the flex cable to lift the internal. Speaker with the clex if not the connection between the two will snap very easy and viola your stuck using spkr phone like me just buy a new flex cable and you back in business or soder it either way

[Q] External speaker problem...motherboard issue?

Has anyone had issues with the external speaker on the i9100?...
Mine will sometimes work for a few seconds then cut out...sometimes it won't even do that, just emitting a "click", like when you unplug a connection...ringtones never work (ever)...(and no, it's not on "silent")
The headphone jack works fine (and has been replaced already), and I've tried the "plug in plug out" solution. The call speaker (against the ear when on a call) works fine, and the Mic works fine....
I'm running cm10 and the latest siyah kernel, but this was happening when I was on stock and not rooted....
I replaced the speaker, and it worked perfectly for a day or so, then....not so much
Everything else is smooth as, and it's a great phone....would just be nice to be able to hear it ring is all...

did you recheck your speaker? maybe there was a loose wire or something.. there is a possibility that it may be a motherboard problem but i highly doubt it

all good now! i replaced the usb flex. when comparing the two boards, the new one has a slight curve in it that seems to bring the contacts closer to the speaker ...don't know if it's by design, but it works....my phone rang for the first time in ages this morning, and it scared the crap out of me

Weak microphone

Hi,
I have a problem with my microphone which was really weak. I can't have calls because people don't understand what i saying.
So i decided to change my USB Board. I buy one from eBay, but after changing it, the microphone is still weak
I tested both microphone directly with the phone disassembles, and it works correctly. But when I reassemble the phone, the microphone does not work (it is really weak).
Does anyone know where it can come because I do not really understand the problem.
Thank you.
Try cleaning the mic's hole on the case.Maybe there is a little dirt stuck.

Already tried, the hole is totaly clear
bkd35,
I have exactly the same problem. Nothing changed after replacing this USB board also. It seems that mic is working but all it records is way to quiet. I was checking that with voice recorder, it records sounds when I yell into that small hole.
Everything is perfectly clean, no dust anywhere. Also I checked if the problem still exists after reinstalling android, after going through many roms, stock and custom ones nothing changed.
What is more interesting, for me sad, I was looking for a solution on many forums and all people can say is to use service codes but they don't work for me. Guys, any ideas what to do? Thanks
EDIT: oh and by the way, maybe it would be better if this thread would be "low microphone volume" or something like this

No service after replacing loudspeaker

Hi! I have Sony xperia m4 aqua and I recently changed the Loudspeaker because it had bad sound. When i installed the new speaker and turned the phone back on the sound problem was gone, but I don't have network. It says emergency calls only and I can't call anyone or be called by anyone. Searched a lot on the web but no luck so far. Tried to manually register network from settings-mobile networks-search networks but no result. I changed the sim card, no change. Restarted the phone many times.
Please help!
Maybe you forgot to connect antenna or some connector inside phone during replacing of earphone.?You will need to open again phone to inspect all connectors inside.

There's a a little progress. I opened it again and reatached the signal anthena cable on the downside(which you can reach after removing the loudspeaker). Maybe it got loosen after removing the bad loudspeaker. Turned the phone back on and it found network. But now there's another problem. The strength of the signal is not full and the Wi-Fi isn't there or it founds it for a little bit and then it's gone. So I'm wondering now if this little cable is the problem and should I try to change it.
P.S. Bulgarian too
Maybe you should check WiFi antenna if it's properly connected, inspect visual cable for cracks and etc. If WiFi work fine before changing of loudspeaker, then should work now if everything is good connected. Try to reconnect all connectors inside phone.

Yes it worked fine before changing the loudspeaker. I just opened it again it visually I don't see anything that isn't good connected. The only thing i can think of is maybe this cable
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Signal Antenna Repair Guide - which is on youtube
could be damaged, but i'm not sure and don't know how could've damaged it. I don't know. If you like i can take a pic and upload it.

Here it is (after removed battery and loudspeaker)
You should inspect both coaxial cables connected at left and right. Maybe there are not good connected, try to reseat both of them on both sides to see if this will helps. Use magnify lens (лупа) to inspect cables and connectors more precisely.

This is a English based forum. Tiny white cable is for antenna. Check both cable and connectors.

Did she drop the phone by any chance? Or has she taken it into the water? No matter how much Sony claim their phones to be waterproof, they're never 100% waterproof especially when they get older (the heat from charging/general use loosens the glue/seals a bit).

Is your loud speaker working?
I believe the speaker is built into the same unit as the mic. If the loudspeaker isn't working either, then it's an issue with the cable. If your mic is dead and loud speaker is working, then it's a lot harder as that board is quite a pain to replace.
