Hi all,
First post please let me know if this belongs somewhere else or I if need to jump through a hoop
Problem:I recently broke the screen on my Sony Xperia L1 G3313, and due to the prevailing worldwide situation I can't find a replacement screen in the local market.
The LCD has slightly leaked in the corner, and only the bottom ~1 inch of the touch is working.
I am unable to use ADB (
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb) or scrpy (
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy) to get into the phone because the phone is powered off, and has a power-on password. i.e. I cant get it to boot and run the adb service etc...
Embarrassingly, I have broken the screen twice before, and replaced it myself - which means I have three broken known compatible screens on hand.
Question:1) Can I use a 'pin-compatible' display from a different phone? (One available in the market, aesthetics are not a primary concern.)
2) If so, how would I find a display that is pin-compatible? The G3313 user manual is of no help and I don't know where else to start looking
3) I have seen off-brand displays everywhere - how do the OneHungLow chaps get their schematics?
4) Can I interface with the mb directly? I have a Raspberry Pi, and a Xilinx ZYNQ FPGA handy, wondering if there is a way to hack the display output directly. I also have a lot of time on my hands.
5) Any other ways around my predicament? Root the phone, hack the other broken screens into one frankenstein working screen, idk.
Any help is much appreciated, cheers.
PS: The images below are of my current setup and replacement screens I have used in the past, I can't find pictures or part numbers of the original screen.
