Dell Venue Pro Repair

The Dell Venue Pro, released in 2010, is a Windows Phone 7 smartphone known for its portrait slide-out QWERTY keyboard and model number VENUEPRO01. It features a 4.1-inch AMOLED display, Gorilla Glass, and Dell’s curved design. The device was praised for its build quality and physical keyboard, but over time users have reported common issues with the camera, touchscreen, and battery. Because it is now an older device, troubleshooting and repair guidance is especially helpful for owners who still use it.

The Dell Venue Pro is a device consisting of two parts: A screen that slides up and down and the main housing that holds the keyboard, battery, and circuitry. The corners are rounded and the entire device exterior has a round oval form factor, along with the sides of the device have a shiny metallic reinforcement that improves durability. The back panel has a Dell logo as well as a Windows Phone marking denoting the software used. A windows logo is located at the bottom of the screen which acts a home button. Beneath the battery is where the model number is printed, as well as all of the other identification numbers and codes.

When the screen is slid upwards, it reveals a physical keyboard that can be used to type onto the device directly. There is the power button and headphones port on the top, with the right side having the volume and camera buttons in the same metal for a smoother finish. On the bottom of the device, the charging port and speakers can be found there.
