LG Stylo 3 Plus: Is the stylo 3 screen made all together?

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 14:43:55 -0700

Is the stylo 3 screen made all together or can I just replace the main glass on without having to replace the lcd too? Nothing is wrong with the touch of the screen just dropped it and cracked the glass screen.

LG V10: Why is the right side of my phone screen flickering?

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 22:26:50 -0700

I bought my device on Amazon in September of 2016. I had no problems the first couple weeks I got it. Then one day half the screen started flickering specifically the right half. There are coloured lines and it is shifted. It is still responsive and strangely when I rub on the flickering half it will take its time and clear up but will return to flickering and jumping once I stop rubbing it.. When I take screen shots the flickering doesn't show either. The picture comes out clear. This is a picture I found on line of a G4. My screen sometimes looks like that, other times its clearer and resembles the normal half of the screen and whatever is on it. I did not drop my phone in water or drop it before any of this started. I have tried factory resets and disabling hardware overlays and none of that worked. http://m.imgur.com/v2aWo6C?

I'd appreciate any help other than sending it back to the person I purchased it from.

Nexus 5X: Replaced screen, phone screen turns off during calls

Wed, 29 May 2019 23:48:24 -0700

So after replacing the LCD screen and a new frame on my Nexus 5x, the phone works perfectly fine until I use it to make a call. The phone stays on and the call goes through, yet the screen goes off and cannot be turned back on until the call is ended by the other caller.

My question is should I reassemble the phone again, or is this a software issue. To reiterate, the phone works perfectly fine otherwise.

LG Optimus Black P970: I need to bypass a button to get in recovery mode

Sun, 25 Sep 2016 00:45:58 -0700

Hello, I think it is better if I start from the begining:

My brother gave me a broken smartphone, I fixed it (here the question I asked: The device doesn't recharge.. ).

It was working well but I locked the phone. So now it ask me to insert email and password (I tried all emails with all possible password but them don't work).

I wanted to reset it through the PC but I can't. So the only possibility is to use the "normal" recovery mode. To get into it I have to use the power button.

Now the problem: I don't completely fixed the connector (that is used by the power button) because it required to solder very thin pins and I don't have the skills and the tools to do it. But now I need to use that button, so I thought "I know which pin brings the power button signal, so why don't bypass it". So I wont need to solder the thin pins. But the problem is that I don't know which voltage and amperage I should use. Any idea?

If you have others solutions it would be even better.

thank you!!!

P.S.:Sorry if my description is confused, but is hard to explain the situation normaly, a lot more in a language that isn't mine.

(In the other question there is the schematic of the connector too)

LG Tribute: Why won't it turn on?

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 06:16:00 -0700

I was watching a youtube video on my LG tribute and my screen went black. It's happened before, but I usually just pop the battery out and restart it but this time it didn't work. It shows the images of the starting screen when it's starting up but when it gets to my virgin mobile screen, where my lock screen would be it just goes black. I've tried to charge it up and I've tried to take the battery out for a day but that didn't work either. I can feel it vibrating when I hold down the power button but I have no idea what's wrong with it. I should probably mention that I accidentally spilled some water on my phone about 2 weeks ago, and I put it in rice and it was perfectly fine. I'm not sure if that's a factor of why this is happening or not. I can't afford to get a new phone and it has a bunch of important stuff on it. Please help!! Thank you.

Nexus 5: Nexus 5 won't turn on (display works, full battery)

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 10:05:12 -0700

I dropped my Nexus 5. Not far, about 2 feet from a sitting position but it wouldn't power back on again even though it was 98% before dropping. I haven't seen anyone with this problem before and hope you could help.

Things I have tried:

Holding down the power button for 30 seconds - nothing happens.

Plugging in the phone: The charging lightning bolt appears for a few seconds then goes away. It doesn't come back unless I unplug and plug back in.

Removed the battery connections for 2 minutes, put it all back together - no different.

Any suggestions?

LG G5: Repairing & cleaning a water damaged LG G5 (Backlight not working)

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 04:38:19 -0700

Hello!

I recently left my phone in the pouring rain for about 10-15 minutes (long story, i'm an idiot basically) and now I'm left with a dead back light. After sitting in rice for about 3-4 days, everything was working perfectly other than the "auto" brightness option (it would just stay on whatever setting I left it at). But recently my back light decided to give up completely and I'm only able to /barely/ read my phone by shining a flashlight on it. As far as I can tell, everything else seems to be working fine!

It's been a little over two weeks since the incident (backlight stopped working 3 days ago) and I KNOW I shouldn't have waited this long to take apart my phone, but I was terrified to do it until now~

Here are some pictures of the water damage:

https://i.gyazo.com/0562940839b0b1ecc7e3...

https://i.gyazo.com/fb31052e3b1e9a4048c5...

If it isn't obvious, I don't have a whole lot of an idea of what on earth i'm doing, but i'm assuming this blob (corrosion?) is part of the issue)

https://i.gyazo.com/35ddadcdf3bc2dd4f65b...

I can also unscrew the logic board if needed (:

So my question is -- Are there any areas that I need to NOT get isopropyl alchohol on? I know I need to use something stronger than 90% so I'll have to go search for that :p

And after cleaning everything, do you think if I replace the LCD screen WITH the frame attached, it will fix my backlight issue?

Thank you for any help!!

Is there anything in the 5X that should or could rattle? It seems to be near the camera. I have read others complaining about this as well. I also discovered that the nexus 5 rattles in the same area. You will hear it if you gently shake the phone near your ear. Thanks.

Nexus 5: Phone Dropped: Black screen

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 01:22:28 -0700

I dropped my LG Nexus 5, with a heavy impact on the floor. The screen just hung up and became non-responsive. When I long-pressed the power button it just went blank and didn't turn on again. Charging seems useless as it doesn't respond at all. Is it worth trying to replace the battery? I opened up the phone, couldn't notice any visible damage to the motherboard.
