Root Sony Xperia Play R800x Black Screen Problem

Hello, Fellow Androidianz:D

I have a serious problem...
Every time I boot My Xperia Play nothing shows up on my screen its just black,
I can see that the screen is backlit. If I Just Turn it on regular, when i turn the volume up or down i can hear the phone ding every time it goes up or down.
what i think is, is that everything runs in the background, its just the sceen display problem (maybe its a display file or driver missing) -

Things I Have Tried:
-----------------------------
* FlashTool
* Odin
* UniFlash 1.1
* Android AIO FLasher 1.40 by FoneHacker
* I'v also tried dissembling and checking the flex cable
Everything was OK with the flex cable
------------------------------------------------------------
Please Help Me, Anyone
 
Having this problem too but one solution is to plug the phone into the Xperia Play dock (if you have one) which brings the screen to life. It's very strange. The dock app then crashes and the phone runs perfectly after that when removed from the dock. I think root uninstalling the Xperia Home launcher and replacing it with FTL caused this problem for me.
