Suddenly my xperia has stopped working when i try to interact with it when the game pad is not open. i can lock it, but on unlocking the display simply shows me a pixelated screen. However the phone functions normally when i slide the game pad out, i can send and recieve texts, the display and touch screen work fine e.c.t.
i'm not sure what to do and cant think why this would happen because the phone functions perfectly when the game pad is out. Has anyone else had this problem?

With the information provided, I believe this could be related to software over hardware, I suggest performing a software repair on the handset using PC Companion,
