i have included some pictures here for you to see

1 st one is the home screen as you can see very dull and thats with brightness turned up

2nd one menu after i hit rearange icon button bright vivid display again

and then theres the inverted colours

seems like a hardware issue, I see that the digitizer/touchscreen its cracked, perhaps the LCD its damaged.

you could test your screen with service menu

you have 2 options if its a hardware issue

1) take your phone to a Sony repair center

or

2) do it yourself, the later its a lot cheaper and not that complicated

here is the teardown guide

check ebay for the LCD & Digitizer for the X10

yeah im thinking only way forward is a new screen, i applyed a new theme and all the menus were great bar the home page and when it went to original sony xperia theme it was all messed up again so im going to try to install a new version of android and see if it clears because the screen still displays the menus fine. worth a shot, first i have to solder a new usb port to the motherboard as that has gone too then i should be able to update the phone i will let you know if it solves the problem if not new screen it is not to pricey of ebay :smileygrin:

thank you very much for your help appreciated :smileygrin:
