@ShR33k 2 года назад

Great video! Mine was very slightly different... as the one I was fixing is the A03s A037G/DSN and motherboard/cables only very slightly different, but all the relevant parts in the same place! I didn't have any alcohol so I used my soldering station heat gun attachment on 100 degrees C and applying to the (broken) glass-side to help release the battery and also used the same heat gun settings to lightly go over the power/volume buttons to help release the adhesive. Luckily I already had mobile phone double-sided tape from various glass replacements in the past to help me stick down the vibration motor and the connector for the power/volume.

@TapticDigital 2 года назад

Nice!! I'm glad to hear it. That's a really good method to use for battery removal if you don't have alcohol, and not directly heating the battery is perfect technique. Glad it worked!

Taking the volume power flex cable off is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I've fixed many devices. I would have been a lot better off buying just the LCD and leaving the frame intact... Bought the frame version based on your video... I truly dislike when videos make a job look so much simpler than they really are. The rest of it was as shown, but I've never seen a harder removal than that flex.

It's probably the strongest adhesive in that phone and I don't understand why. Most times I have to use an xacto knife to slip under it, super risky.

But thr power button wad not working to turn it on. How do i know if i damaged that piece?!

@TapticDigital 10 месяцев назад

That ribbon cable is a single layer circuit, so the best thing to do is check for any rips or tears. Even the slightest cut can kill it. If it's toast and you absolutely need it to power on you can bridge the pins on the board where it connects using tweezers. The button ribbon is very cheap to replace if needed.

When you replace the screen is it just the screen and doesn't delete your important information ?

Wouldn’t affect memory at all, memory is all on a chip on the board so you can change almost every single part and still have all your data as long as the main board isn’t replaced.

I was able to find them on MobileSentrix, you'd just have to be sure to get the right model number as it appears they make two variations of it. They say they only sell to businesses but I was able to buy things as an individual by listing my business as "independent" in the sign up. If that fails, they have them for about $15 over on eBay, again, double check the model number first!

Awesome video, just getting ready to start my first one of these. Thanks for the reminder to remove the SIM tray and also the heads up about the finger print reader cable attached to the back cover. Also I have one question. Near the top there is that 6 connection point square pad attached to a ribbon cable. On the replacement I bought on eBay, it is glued down slightly crooked, not perfectly square like yours. Do I dare try to peel it up to glue it back down straight or should I send it back? I wish I could attach a picture of it here but I don't see a place to do so. Thanks

@TapticDigital 8 месяцев назад

It shouldn’t matter too much, the spring connectors on the board only touch a very small point, and with how large (by comparison) the gold pads are, it should still make contact. If it doesn’t and you need to adjust it, a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on those gold pads and some tweezer action should get it free safely!

@Steveh112 8 месяцев назад

@@TapticDigital Thanks much for the advice. If it looks like they'll hit then I'll leave it otherwise I'll carefully try the method you described. Probably not much more delicate than the volume button ribbon we have to transplant from the old to the new frame. I really appreciate the reply. Going to tear into it after dinner, I'll let you know how it goes.

@Steveh112 8 месяцев назад

I ended up moving it so it was straight, probably would have been ok but being the perfectionist OCD type I had to fix it. Got it moved without any damage, same with the volume control. My new frame did not have the ribbon cable under the lower board so I had to peel off that gasket and carefully remove and transplant it. Wrecked the gasket but ribbon came off in one piece and everything works good after reassembly. Thanks again for posting this video, it was very helpful.

@TapticDigital Год назад

This model has some little foam pieces in the frame that the microphone sits in, sometimes the replacement part doesn't have that foam in it already, and this causes sound to echo and bounce around the microphone. This is the most likely issue, but it could also have some slight damage

Advice for other repairers: 1. Safety first. Be aware that working with a power source, in this case lithium ion batteries, has a potential danger. Have a safe place to secure the phone in case it catches fire or explodes and a method to put out the fire. Try not to breath in the fumes. 2. Follow the order in the video and you will only have to purchase a replacement battery in the case it does go wrong.😉

Then I got the frame screen replacement one and my speak mic Still wasn't working so I also replaced the charging board which says it has the speaker on it and it's still not working. Phone is charging good still but would you have any idea why my speak mic wouldn't be working?!

@TapticDigital 9 месяцев назад

That's an interesting one... First step is the super obvious, are there any stickers inside the replacement frame that cover a microphone hole? It sounds dumb, but I can't tell you how many times it's happened to me. If that isn't it, let's try to isolate which microphone is the culprit. Phones typically have three microphones, one in the charge port, one next to the earspeaker, and another facing out with the cameras. Talking normally on the phone uses the charge mic, calls on speakerphone will use the earspeaker mic (and sometimes the charge port as well), and the camera usually utilizes all microphones. Test by making a video and rotating the phone as you record, then play it back and see if your audio drops out when you turn it a certain way. Blow into the microphone holes one at a time to find which one is dead.
