Just in case you have a Z Flip phone and wonder why the screen isnt working.

The video shows an older model Flip phone but the ribbon hinge cable is almost identical in size and location to my Flip 7.

FF to the 15:40 mark to see the amount of dust on the internal hinges.
FF to the 20:00 mark to see the cracked cable

This is the most likely reason for screen failures assuming the screen wasn't damaged for other reasons.

Samsung's official rating is 200,000 folds for the Z Flip 7 under typical conditions. Whatever that means. This may work in a dust free lab but in a real environment like your pant pocket or purse; its a pipe dream.

Many people have had Samsung deny a warranty claim. Hopefully this will help shed some light on the issue and get you further along.

so i was mad because i couldn't get my phone to act as an router so i could play some games. i hit my table with the screen side of the phone. im pretty sure my dad will kill me if he finds out. what do i tell him. i got like 2 days left max. model name: doogee s61 pro (military grade). sorry for bad image quality

Whoddop people

My Nothing 2 soaked a bit of water.. let's not talk about it 🤣.

Didn't even realize it. Few days after it must have happened, sat in the sun on work break time, put the phone down, then took it to hands boom display issues.

I did let it dry turned off for like half a week (in rice hehe)but upon turning it on, same issues. There is still some tiny amounts of water left inside the see through case.

Anyone be capable of identifying the type of damage?

The screen is flickering, and shifting. There is a line top left that is always green now lol. Then there is those classic lines of colour shifts you see on hdmi port damages and the screen turns black- green - normal (too dark) randomly

I would have to open it up, but I would prefer knowing what spare parts I should definitely keep at hand. E.g. new display or just a new flex cable?

To me it just looks like a shortcut from water in the flex cable slot but I'm just a cheap ass electrician for machines haha

Hi! My middle camera on my phone has these two black spots that pop up in photos. I have taken off the cover to try and wipe off the lenses thinking there may be dust, but it still shows the black dots. Any suggestions?

It happens from time to time. After a while it finally works and let's me input the password.

The power button on the side of the phone is caved in, but i don't think that's the issue, cause after i unlock the phone, the problem goes away and i can use it normally until i lock it once more.

My moto fingerprint stopped automatically and I need to replace it i ordered from maxbhi but not worked

Here is image if anybody can provide me please

Hi everyone,
I’m replacing the screen on my iPhone 11 and everything has gone fine so far. However, I’m now stuck when trying to transfer the proximity sensor / earpiece assembly from the old screen to the new one.
There are 4 screws on the bracket (top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right).
I’ve already managed to remove 2 of them, but the other 2 are stuck:
bottom left
top right
They seem either stuck really tight or slightly stripped, because my screwdriver no longer gets proper grip and just slips.
I’m using a Y 0.6 precision screwdriver, and I also tried another screwdriver, but both keep slipping and can’t turn the screws anymore.
What I’ve tried so far:
different screwdrivers
applying steady, controlled pressure
carefully re-seating the driver for better grip
trying multiple angles
But still no success.
Has anyone dealt with this before on an iPhone 11 screen replacement? What’s the best way to remove these screws without damaging the bracket or the flex cable?
Any advice or tool recommendations would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I'm using my s20 fe 5g for 3 years now so do I need a battery change ? Please help !

long story short:

my phone fell down more than one year ago, a small pool of black pixel originated near the impact point.

the phone was fine like this for 7 months where the pool got larger slightly but without any major issue. recently the pool got way bigger and the screen was bleeding at lower screen brightnesses making the contrast really bad forcing me to use at least half to full brightness to make it usable

yesterday the screen started having more serious issues like the one shown in the video, applying a small amount of pressure on the black spot restore the contrast but sometimes makes the screen almost completely dark. yesterday i got something similar while watching a video and the screen got full white without any input.

it seems something at least partially about the screen connector (maybe?) but i dont know for sure and i dont know if i have the tools to fix it anyway

what do you guys think? it is repairable? i've paid the phone used like 450 bucks more than two years ago so a lot of official repair options seems unreasonable to me

At first it worked but when i charged the phone for half an hour the battery started bloating now I've replaced the battery it just does this

didnt turn on and i charged it for a hour to see if the battery was just fully dead but when i unplugged it it still wouldnt turn on and the battery wasnt warm and there was a red light at the top every time i turned it on

I BUY THIS PHONE. CHARGING PORT? DESTROYED. I BUY A NEW ONE. IT'S F CODED. WHATEVER I AND F CODE IS LIKE THE SAME. I INSTALL IT. IT DOESN'T WORK. I REMOVE THE OLD BATTERY. IT SHOWS THE CHARGING SYMBOL. I BUY A NEW BATTERY. IT BOOTLOOPS. I FLASH NEW FIRMWARE. DIDN'T FIX. I PLUG IT IN. IT BOOTS UP INSTEAD. I UNPLUG THE BATTERY. WAIT 5 MINUTES. PLUG IT AGAIN. SAME THING HAPPENS. I'M GONNA THROW THIS OUT THE WINDOW HELP MEEEEEEEE

Update: I destroyed it.
