So I can tell you 90% your Xperia Play suffers from a disease called "the flex cable damaged" disease. Your phone will have to undergo a surgery which will replace the damaged flex cable with a new one. Flex cable is the cable which connects the motherboard to the screen. Common issue for Xperia Play. Revert to stock, and I mean completely stock, then send to Sony Centre and replace for free if you still have warranty.

So a tip for us is that open the slider slowly to avoid damage to the flex cable right?

I don't think it has anything to do with how hard you're using the device.

It has to do with how it was installed from the factory.

sometimes the cable can get bunched up underneath the screen and get a crimp in it.

My other spare screen slider cord has been crimped and i don't know how much longer it will last
but my other one is totally fine.
