Display problem / Scratch on screen

Hello all,

My recent Xperia Pro appears to have a scratch in it's display glass, deep enough to be able to 'break'  the light. I now need to replace the glass of my touchscreen. I am insured, but I can't lose my phone for 3 weeks just for a simple display glass replacement that can be done in a few hours. The trouble for me is, where do I buy a display glass for an Xperia Pro? Just the display, not the whole package (inc. touchscreen or such) 'cause my touchscreen itself still works fine it's just the display glass that contains a scratch.

Any help will be appreciated Winking_Face


Kind regards

Don't ever use a hairdryer on a phone, you will damage it. as I recall its only one layer.

One layer... What if I call Sony and ask if there is such film on my Xperia Pro before I start removing something that may not even be there? Or...?

yeah you should do that, or do a live chat and post your findings here.

Well, that did not make things much clear. They say the film on the Xperia Play is not the film from Sony? I want to remove the film off my Pro, but I first need to know if there is any film... I've even been to a phoneshop today to ask, and they did not know either.

This link says my Pro does have a 'shatter proof film'

Haha I've removed it! I've put on my own new screenprotector on it, and voila, no scratch at all. 

Thank you so much Winking_Face
