Help Yellow tint on a white backgound

What he ^^^ said.

It seems that the delays are Sony's fault, as they don't supply their repair contractors with the parts that they need. And, when they do supply them, the parts are faulty, which seems to be consistent with Sony's overall standard of QA.

I'd advise you to call the repair centre before sending your phone in, to see if they have the parts available (01233 619320). Unless you are happy to be without your phone for a very extended period, that is.
