Device intake and condition recording
We record the exact Xperia model, symptoms and reported damage history. The housing, screen and connectors are inspected, and functions available before opening the device are documented.
Has your Sony Xperia stopped detecting a charger, developed a damaged display or become unable to start Android? ARVUTIABI-ESOFT OÜ is an independent repair workshop in Lasnamäe, Tallinn. We diagnose and repair Xperia 1, Xperia 5 and Xperia 10 phones, as well as earlier Xperia XZ, XA and Compact devices. Serviceability is assessed for each exact model and its condition.
We investigate failures involving screens, batteries, charging sockets, cameras, speakers and motherboard power circuits. Xperia-specific housing designs, display specifications and Android software are taken into account. Parts are recommended following diagnosis, and the cost is agreed before repair work begins.

Prices marked “from” are starting prices. The final repair cost depends on the device model, the nature of the fault, the required spare parts, and the diagnostic results.
The cost of diagnostics depends on the type of device and the complexity of the diagnostic work, but does not exceed €20.
* If the customer agrees to proceed with the repair, diagnostics are free of charge, as they are an integral part of the repair process. In this case, the customer pays only the agreed repair price.
We record the exact Xperia model, symptoms and reported damage history. The housing, screen and connectors are inspected, and functions available before opening the device are documented.
We check components related to the complaint, power supply, current draw and software symptoms. A microscope and measuring equipment are used where needed. Any procedure that could put files at risk is discussed in advance.
Once the fault is identified, we explain feasible options, compatible replacement parts, limitations, expected outcome and cost. Chargeable component replacement is not carried out without approval.
We perform the agreed work, reassemble the phone and test the screen, touch input, charging, power, cameras, audio and connections affected by the fault or repair.
A Sony Xperia may still play notification sounds after a fall while the display shows coloured streaks, dark patches or no picture at all. We distinguish cracked cover glass from a defective display panel or touch layer and inspect the display connection. As screen assemblies vary across Xperia generations, the repair option is selected for the specific device.
Intermittent charging can mean a phone only responds when the cable is held at a particular angle, or does not register a charger. We test a known-good adapter and cable, inspect debris and damaged USB-C contacts, and check related flex cables and charging circuitry. We replace the connector only when its failure is confirmed.
Short battery life or shutdown with charge still displayed can result from cell ageing, excessive current draw or a fault in the power circuitry. We examine standby and load behaviour, battery condition and possible software-related consumption. Battery replacement is recommended only when it is likely to address the identified issue.
Unusual heat during everyday use, freezing while recording video or repeated reboots can have several causes. We examine application activity, battery behaviour, heat patterns and electronic components. Android software issues are assessed separately from hardware defects rather than assuming every restart is a software problem.
A black camera preview, autofocus failure, missing voice recordings and low call volume point to different faults. We test front and rear cameras, available microphones, audio circuits, speaker grilles, connectors and app permissions. Only the component or circuit found to be defective is proposed for repair or replacement.
Even an Xperia with an advertised water-resistance rating may suffer internal liquid damage; seals can deteriorate over time or after disassembly. We inspect the USB-C area, connectors and motherboard components under magnification for corrosion and current-leakage damage. A wet phone should be turned off and not charged before inspection.
A frozen Xperia startup screen, endless boot cycle or no reaction to the power button may stem from a battery, memory, power-supply or system-file issue. Hardware is checked before choosing a software recovery procedure. Available Sony recovery methods vary by model and may erase personal data; these risks are discussed beforehand.
If the phone loses its carrier signal, cannot join a wireless network or fails to discover a headset, we first check the SIM card, Android settings and wireless operation in different modes. If necessary, we inspect antenna assemblies, coaxial connectors and radio-frequency circuitry. The repair scope is determined only after the fault has been isolated.
The workshop’s general published smartphone price list indicates free diagnostics. The repair price is determined after inspecting the particular device.
Replacement depends on the exact model and availability of a compatible assembly. The screen type and the price of the part and installation are confirmed before ordering.
Sometimes. This depends on whether the display panel and touch layer remain functional and the assembly permits glass-only replacement. Otherwise, the complete assembly may be needed.
Potential causes include worn contacts, contamination, battery faults, flex cable damage or charging circuitry. We identify the cause before recommending a particular replacement.
We evaluate battery and board power, storage and operating-system condition. System recovery is not appropriate in every case and may erase user data.
We can assess and diagnose these devices. Repair viability depends on board condition and the availability of parts for the exact variant.
Files may remain intact after certain component repairs, but data preservation cannot be guaranteed in cases involving memory, board damage or software recovery. We recommend a backup.
Turnaround depends on diagnosis and parts availability. Terms covering the agreed labour and fitted components are specified when the repair order is accepted.
