Xperia Z3 Defective screens?

Hello, i purchased Xperia Z3 from local retailer about a week ago and i had to change that unit to new one on next day because of defective screen. I think it is a manufacturing fault, because i noticed this orange lightspot right on bottom of the screen and there was also strange horisontal lines on that screen. These same problems occured also in the next replacement (patch: 15w16) and third replacement (patch: 15w18). So, now i am waiting for my 4th xperia z3 from same retailer, because of that orange spot and those weird lines were in all three previous devices i received. I am really dissapointed, because it seems that even if i get a new one, it has the same manufacturing faults on the screen, which is furstating and extremely strange. I know that those orange spots and horizontal lines are far from normal, because I had a perfect day one xperia z3, before i accidentialy dropped it and mashed it's screen, before that, there wasn't any strange spots/lightbleeds and everything was just fine. I really don't understand that how it's even possible to have exactly same defects on three xperias on the row? I really hope that this 4th xperia i receive from retailer is just perfect as it should be, if it isn't, i will demand my money back. I just would like to ask that is there any possibility that those defects could be on software? Or is it about defective charger that makes damage to all units? Does anyone else have these problems on their phones or am I really the only one with extremely bad luck?
Edited due to foul language

My Z3 is still on 23.0.A.2.93, I guess this version .105 isn't available for D6653 yet.
Is there a change log for .105?

How to tell if the nano has a defective screen...

Ok, earlier today I had my iPod nano in my pocket with NOTHING EXCEPT THE IPOD NANO IN IT (not even headphones!). The iPod nano was in the iSee nano case and also had the decal girl crystal shield under it. I was wearing my favourite pants. They are very baggy and have huge pockets. Anyway, I was walking with the nano in my pocket for about 1 minute, and I didn't sit down. I pulled it out, and what do you know? The screen is cracked. A yucky blacky thing was in the bottom right hand corner. It looked like spilled ink (as another poster said a while ago). I turned the nano on, and the blacky thingy grew a bit and turned pixalized. The top of the screen just had a blue bar. The bottom of the screen showed a lighter blue bar. I could barely make out the menu items "Settings" and "Shuffle songs" through the bar. The total right hand side of the screen is either white of covered with the blob.
Here are some pictures. Note that the scratches are not on the nano, but they are actually on the iSee.

I contacted apple and they said that they were going to send me a box within 2 days to my house. I put the nano in and then they will decide whether to fix it or not. What I want to know is how can I tell if I really do have a defective screen? I've heard that if your screen cracks from the inside, then it is defective. If you drop your nano/put your car keys next to it and it cracks, it is your fault.
I think I have a defective one. The case itself emerged unharmed, with no new scratches (I still have yet to figure out how so many scratches could collect on the iSee nano case in little over a week). There is no dent in the case, because I didn't actually hit anything. I think my nano must be defective. According to apple's website, my nano's approximate date of purchase was October 18.
The thin clear layer of whatever it is that covers the nano screen is not cracked. Some part of the nano is cracked though. I think it is defective. How else could it crack without harming the case or the thin invisible layer or whatever without me dropping it.
Judging from this, can you tell me if it is faulty, or if it isn't faulty?

That is so stupid. Any additional pressure......
I can't believe this. When I first got the nano, I thought my only problem would be scratching, so it's been paired with a case and a screen protector since I got it. I never thought cracking would be a problem.
And why did they have to make it so thin anyways? Screw the 1GB nano, make a nano around the .33 inches thickness of a shuffle. The nano will now not crack or scratch, and I will have nothing to complain about.
I know that during the first 14 days from the date of purchase, you can get a refund on your nano. If I do get a new nano back, will I be able to get a refund, or not? The original iPod (the cracked one next to my computer) was engraved with my name. On the online form I asked apple not to engrave it, to speed up the process. My warranty will not restart, but will my date of purchse? I really want to refund this nano and forget about it. Screw the screen protectors and cases. I'll give them to my cousin. Her nano is scratched like ****.

Brand New Mac Book Pro with defective screen

Hi Guys,
Does anyone here, purchased a brand new Mac Book Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz with a defective screen?
I bought mine, Last June 14. I just noticed the defect last June 29 and returned it to where I purchase it at june 30.
There are somewhat 'black smudges' on the left part of the screen. I'm a graphic designer, so i know that this is a big issue for me.
Also, the fact that I'm just using it for 5 times I think, since I bought it, and there's already an issue.
At first, i was battling with the customer service (from where i bought it), They wouldn't want to give me replacement, because I already exceeded their 7 day return policy. But I'm not giving in, so then they just told me, they would send it to apple service.
It took a week for a progress, then I just got a call from Apple, that they didn't saw it either (the defect). Then I told the guy what I saw.
It's only visible with black background and with the lights turned off.
So he called again and told me that he also saw it, and told me that they would replace the Monitor.
I'm new with this, is it normally ok, that they will just replace the monitor? I mean, would it still work properly, now that they've
opened it and replaced only the defective part?
Hope you guys can give me your thoughts.
Thank You.

Not sure what part of the world you are in but Apple has a 14 day return policy. But even with the 14 days you exceeded that time limit. So the only option is to replace the defective part and not the whole system. This is standard operating practices for any manufacturer once you have exceeded the return period.

Manufacture defected screen

How many others have had their nano screen defect?
I was given a 4 GB Nano white for this chistmas and found in a single day it had easily recieved scratches over the screen by merely handling it while adding songs. Just today I reached into my pocket to find the screen internally busted. I had nothing else in my front pocket neither and had only went walking. I was dumbfounded to see the screen in its condition. I have had the lcd break on one of my cell phones but that was after a bad spill and could accept that. My nano on the other hand was in a protective case i bought for it that has a plastic cover for the screen and surrounding padding to prevent it from scratching further. Now I am no stranger to ipods and know that they are electronic pieces of genius that need care. I have owned an ipod mini 4GB as well as currently also own a 20 GB 4th generation ipod. They have seen their share of abuse (mind you neither had a case) and yet they are in better shape then the 4GB Nano. I am quite unhappy I assure you. I hope to take it back to the store where it was purchased and see if this situation could be resolved but at the present moment I felt a need to let others know of a "common" problem that I too encountered. (I had not known that Nanos were reported scratching easily or lcds breaking till I surfed the web after my own problem occured)

a simple google search for "nano lcd break" proves that i have some thing in "common" with other nano consumers.
i simply posted my message to show i too have had an issue.
i would like to see a counter showing how many complaints have been made and how many legitamate cases have been resolved.

Xperia Z2 touch screen going rampage

When I was using the phone, the touch screen would suddenly go rampage as if touching random places on the screen. So, I decided to activate the dev option and log down the pointer movement, it turns out like a big cross and pointer moving around the screen frame, something like this: IXI , and top and bottom of course, in fact I was actually making circles in the middle of the screen. Any idea how this happen? I doubted that it might be a static electric discharge phenomenon, due to the usage of of low quality matte display screen protector which I constantly rubbing lightly. However, that is just my guess and I would like to hear from you guys as well. Helps and suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Broken xperia z 2 screen while cleaning

I bought a xperia z 2 just a week ago and now the touch screen cracked while I was cleaning the glass. How is that even possible? It cracked as if I poured hot water in a layer of ice. Now that I went to claim the warranty to the mobile company. they dont even accept it and asks for extra 385€ to repair the glass. I will never buy sony's phone ever again in my life...Waste of my 600€ and all my savings..

sorry to hear that but yo have to contact your local Sony Xperia Care

Retina Macbook Pro - Defective Screen (white pressure mark)

After waiting 3-4 weeks I was so excited to finally receive my retina macbook pro today. To my dissapointment as soon as I turned it on this glaring white light/cloudy mark behind the screen stabbed me in the heart. So dissapointing to wait so long just to get a defective unit.
I called AppleCare and they said I could either ship it back for a refund, or I could take it into the apple store for a refund. Apple store is only 30 minutes away so instead of putting any trust in fedex I decided to just go return it in person.
So now I'm waiting up to five days for the money to be refunded so I can order again and wait ANOTHER 3-4 weeks to receive a unit because I upgraded the base model to 16GB of ram, and it may have the same exact problem when it arrives... who even know...
I saw on macrumors a few others have had this issue so I'm not alone, but I do hate that I was unlucky this time around.
Here is what it looked like:

Anyone else this unlucky?

I've experienced this. I think they're called muras but I'm not certain. They weren't there when I bought the mid-2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro, they developed months later. First one, then two. I brought it in to the Genius Bar and they say both muras and replaced my display. The replacement display I got was horribly yellow tinted and muddy looking whereas my first display with the muras had brilliant colours and sharp text. Apple considers a consistently-yellow tinted display normal and refuses to replace it. The Spyder4Elite colour calibrator can reduce the yellowing but does nothing to help the muddy colour quality and blurriness.

Xperia Z3 Black Screen Of Death (Twice!!!)

Hey guys, I purchased the Xperia Z3 about a month ago... the phone was brilliant until about 3 days of use the phone went black and i could still use to touch screen and hear all the sound effects but there was no image on the screen other than a backlight. So i got the phone replaced and hoped it was just a faulty unit. However after using the replacment phone for about a month the exact same thing happened on sunday! i have tried factory reset and still no luck. I have now got another brand new replacement coming from my phone company due to them believing it may have been a bad batch of phones. I was just wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows a reason why this is happening? i do remember turning on some sort of screen optimization setting a day before this issue happened on both occations... could it be a software issue causing the hardware to fail?? I want answers because if this happens for a third time I will seriously have to consider never buying a sony product again. Very frustrating

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't heard of any issues like this before, which makes is really strange you've had these issues. If you experience further issues you should contact your local Xperia Support to proceed with this in the best possible way.

Xperia Z3 Black Screen

I bought the Xperia Z3 phone back in November 2014 and today i just experienced a problem with my phone. I was looking through some emails and all of a sudden the screen just goes black... i can see light but its black.. i tried hard reseting it turning it off and on by holding the power and volume button and also reseting through the sim card port with a needle and it still dosent work. i can hear noises and everything clicking and volume but the screen is still black and cant see anything im pushing. it dose charge and i hooked it up to my pc to update it and wipe out the phone but still no luck. and also sometimes a red light, lights up on the top left of the phone. The phone is from t-mobile too... basically everything works fine except the Dang screen...

My xperia P s screen wont turn on

Hello, i have just changed my xperia p battery by myself. And it caused a black screen error. I think new battery don't empower the screen. Can it be any damaged cable that causes this problem. Or there is something else. Because i have opened my phone and i didn t see anything broken or damaged and i did it very carefully. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately this isn't really something we can help you out with. I recommend that you send the phone in to a service center for repair. See my signature for contact information to your local Xperia support.
