part of screen is darker

ego1st1 — Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:28:46 GMT

hi i am proud user of z3 compact, but then today for some reason after normal phone call with my head sweaty screen went crazy then after few minutes it came back to normal, but then i realized that power down button stoped functioning. after few minutes all went back to normal, i restart device and then i got this.

part of the screen is much darker then the rest (shown with red oval)

seams that some led is not working.

it can be seen best when background is white.

is this hardware or software issue, and can it be fixed?

thanks in advance for answer.

You could try to repair the phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Contact Sony Xperia Support is seems to be a hardware issue.

Could be a faulty connection or part of the backlight is faulty

I saw this issue after water damage in Z3C.

Have you use your phone under water?
