Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus: Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ board diagram

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 16:08:14 -0700

I have a liquid damaged Galaxy S6 edge+ that appear to have some components corroded off, but I was trying to find a diagram or schematic of the system board to verify if something is missing and what is missing. Does anyone know of a website that has cell phone motherboard layouts or schematics? Thank you in advance for your help.

Samsung Galaxy Note II: LCD not working after glass replacement?

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 19:07:37 -0700

I replace glass for the Galaxy S3 all the time, and I've been doing fine. I also have succeeded in replacing the glass on the Note 2 as well. However, I find some of Galaxy Note 2 LEDs don't work after a glass replacement—indicating I must have caused some damages to the LED.

I don't see any cracks, and I only apply 70 °C of heat to loosen the adhesive. And, I use the trusted iFixit spudger to remove it with the same method that I apply to the Galaxy S3—but I find that 3 out 10 times, I will have a problem with the display.

I know it is a risk as you are not supposed to remove the glass, but in order to provide price options, I do it anyway. But I can't keep doing this. Can anyone share what not to do?

When I use my new phone for calls, it always turns on and starts doing random things during the call. Have tried to adjust all kinds of sensitivity settings. Have only a slim case on it...no screen protector yet. Very frustrated. Thanks!!

Samsung Intercept: boots up but touch screen wont work to unlock the screen

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 02:48:55 -0700

Recently dropped phone in a puddle. pulled out the battery and dried it out for around 3-4 days days now under and mild mild heat lamp. the phone doesnt get hot, just warm. The other day i booted it up and got to the screen lock screen. But the touch screen wont work at all. anything i can do?

History:

had dropped it previously and phone continued to work. has a single crack across the screen but never lost the ability to use the touch screen at all. basically no affect. Then something went wrong with the charging port on the phone i believe. The phone wont charge or recognize something plugged in the micro usb port. So, i found an external battery charger and have been getting my phone to work that way.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus: Broken back glass panel

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 16:32:42 -0700

So i broke my rear glass panel on my 4 day old s8+. Turns out these phones are so slick that they slip right out of your pocket. Mine hit a tiled floor on the edge, and the lower right corner of my screen cracked. all this while my case is coming in the mail...

Anyway, because its only a small section which is going to be covered by a case eventually anyway, i was looking to repair it with some kind of resin, like the windscreen glass repairers use for chips. i think this should stop further crack propagation and hopefully also reseal the phone keeping it water proof.

Or i will replace the back glass completely either myself, or through my insurance. I want to see the cost difference and difficulty first.

There are no guides yet so could someone look at this? there will be alot of cracked front and back screens because this phone is so slippery.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Fixing possibly damaged USB charging port

Sat, 29 Oct 2016 00:31:15 -0700

I seem to be experiencing this issue.

I think it most likely is a mechanical issue. (The phone seems to react to USB cable movement; what makes it difficult to determine is that sometimes moving the cable doesn't help until rebooting the phone.)

After some investigation, I found that there are suggestions to replace the charging port. (One auction—already over—is here.)

I guess I'm answering my own question already, but in that case, this post might be useful to others—especially since it seems that this is one of the most common issues. Actually, I would like advice on whether my diagnosis is right. And assuming it is, maybe someone who's already done the repair could write a guide on how to do it.

It looks like a straightforward change, but I'm a total noob.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus: No network after screen replacement

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 12:16:49 -0700

Replaced the screen/frame on an AT&T S20 Plus, transferred over all parts including front camera, charging daughterboard, 5G antennas, etc. After sealing it back up, it’s not detecting the cellular network. Fearing a bad part, I put it back in the original screen/frame and same thing. All connectors look fine, pressure pins on the charging port are in good condition, too. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Only briefly wet in fresh water, dried in rice for days and now appears to have everything working (including touch functions) but screen stays black. I disassembled and cleaned all contacts. Saw no corrosion. I can answer calls by swiping screen and can access all files via USB to computer link. Incoming Email and text notification alarms continue. Battery will recharge. Anything else to try other than new digitizer?
