Thank you for your swift reply.

I have the same issue on my experia play, and none of the mentioned here fixes are working for me just a ststic, fuzzy screen. Dose any one have any more ideas on how to get the display up and running again?
it might be a hardware problem more than a software glitch
if you want to contact SE
So this is for anyone that has this problem and seeks out help like I did. I was playing around with my phone while looking up ways to fix its static screen and stuff. I fixed it by holding down the power button for a moment until i knew the screen would normally have the phone options onscreen, then i just tapped the screen attempting to hit where these options would be and when i hit one, i think it was "silent mode" my screen flashed back to normal. I hope this can help someone with this terrifying problem.

This is many many years later but this worked wonderfully for my old Xperia Play that I'm nostalgic towards. Thank you! You're a gentleman and a scholar
