Should I fix it or buy a new one?
Long story short, threw my phone around and when I took my case off it looked like this lol. It works completely fine, the dark spots don’t affect touch screen. It just can’t be turned on for too long or else it’ll develop a green line and slowly degrade the screen quality until I shut off the screen, then it’ll be fine again. The top dot developed a month after and the second one a month after as well. They’ve slowly been growing, I’ve been measuring with a sudoku game lmao. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it to fix or should I just buy a new one if it’s too expensive?

My POCO M6 won't turn on (pls help)
I was using it as usual, watching TikTok, until I decided to restart it. I felt like I needed to. I saw it turn on, but I decided to let it rest...
Fifteen minutes later I tried to turn it on and absolutely nothing happened. I plugged it in because I thought it might not have a battery, but nothing, not even a reaction.
I started to get scared when I saw that my phone wasn't responding and decided to try fastboot, absolutely nothing happened and as of the day I'm posting this, 5 days have passed and it still won't turn on
I don't have a PC or any other device, and I don't want to spend money because my financial situation isn't the best right now. Could you help me? I really have some unbacked-up information.

How trustworthy is CellDoc
Recently had my phone submerged in salt water for 5-10 minutes. It completely died. Flew back to home, and gave it to a repair service, CellDoc. The phone had been dead for 72 hours prior to the initial salt water damage. The repair man opened the phone and said the screen and motherboard were damaged. I have very important personal documents on my phone, but iCloud backup did not cover it. He says he will FIX the motherboard and screen, which would give me my functional iPhone 13 back. He asked for my password, and I gave it. Can I trust them? From what I understand, motherboards in iPhones are very very difficult to repair. And I haven't heard much about CellDoc, so I REALLY hope they have not gone through my documents.

Note7 live demo unit bootloop
Hello! I have a big problem with my note7 Idu (N930X).
Recently it just got stuck in a bootloop. It started when i was playing with the options in "samsung retail mode" app (specfically i turned off the "disable factory reset" option somehow without the master code which caused to "the device needs to be restarted to apply these settings" or something like that. After that it restarted and started doing it over and over again). Here is a little brakdown of what's happening: 1. Turning it on. Everything seems normal but after "Note7 live demo unit" start screen it seems to be stuck in "optimalising apps: 1 of 1" which after 5-10 minutes is replaced with "starting apps..." and then the system boots up for like 15-20 seconds (the time varies). 2. I get hit with "weather app stopped working" and after a few second the phone changes its brightness and "retail mode running" norification is apperaing. 6-8 seconds after that the phone reboots - samsung logo, "optimalising apps 1 of 1", "starting apps..." and then again. A little note: I tried turning the defective option off with the master code, there is no safe mode, i already tried wiping cache partition and i DO NOT want to do anything to the soft as the original demo one is unique and brick risk is too high. If someone
could help i would be really grateful. (and PLEASE no note7, trump phone, or other jokes because i want some serious help)

Broken Screen‼️
Ive got a broken screen and i tried so much to get onto the data of this phone. I tried it with scrcpy, didnt work, didnt even saw the device, so maybe a broken usb c 2 port too. Is there anyway any program to force the phone into a screensharing mode or get onto the data? My last option would be a new screen.

Should my phone battery be safe?
I know this is probably a dumb question but wanna hear others toughts
I was cleaning the back of my phone cuz the back popped off and was removing the adhesive then I accidentally poked at the side of the battery (it was a B7000 bottle lid- my phone is a samsung galaxy) I don't see any physical damage and I'm not seeing or experiencing any of the signs that indicate I did damage- but just wanna hear others opinions before I get into the actually plugging the phone in stage
edit/note: what I mean by the signs I looked up is my phone dosent feel hot to the touch being powered back on. it's pretty stable on a flat surface, and the batter seems to be draining at a relatively normal pace. and before anyone ask why a B7000 bottle lid- it was the only thing I had on hand at the moment ;-;

Huawei P60 Pro (MNA-LX9) won't boot after flashing wrong ABL, only shows as Qualcomm 9008. Any way to recover?
Hey everyone, I messed up and my P60 Pro (MNA-LX9) won't turn on anymore. I accidentally flashed the wrong ABL partition. Now there's no logo, no fastboot, no recovery. The only sign of life is my PC detecting it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
What I've tried: I used UnlockTool to flash through EDL (with correct ABL). It reported success, but the phone still won't boot and still shows as 9008. I don't have a backup of the original ABL.
Questions:
Could the wrong ABL be the reason it won't boot even though the flash said success?
I searched here and on XDA and couldn't find anything specific to this model. Even "take it to a service center" is helpful to know.
Thanks
