htc droid incredible teardown

im trying to repair a friend's incredible of mine and he said that ever since he replaced his cracked screen the power button hasn't been able to turn on the phone. So what i did is try to open the phone up myself and see if he is missing any parts from the mobo. If you guys have any pictures of the mobo of this phone it would help me identify what could be wrong.

You're best bet it to try to find copies of the FCC approval teardown. Often, but not always, they're floating around out there.

alright thanks and i actually did figure out the problem. There's a small part missing from the power button that keeps the phone from turning on. I was able to use a small object to poke it and it works. but i will need those fcc approval teardown pics. so thanks for the suggestion

One X Dead

hey guys,
so my friend got a One X, that's Dead...pretty cheap...and we're trying to revive it.
up till now, the phone only vibrates when pressing the power button, screen doesn't wake up. how to access the bootloader "if it's even accessible"?
any way to know if it's fixable?
Uhh, it doesn't sound too easily fixable. If the screen isn't even turning on, you're off to a bad start. Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, not something you'll be able to flash to fix.

how to enter bootloader? sorry never used one x before.
okay so, i'll attach an photo of the screen. and a video of a similar issue.

please anyone that can help, let me know
That's a hardware fault maybe faulty flex cable

if you look at the phone, it's very clean, i can tell it never had a smudge or any fall...also the screen is clean, no scratches. quite a catch! what could have made the flex cable go bad?!
in the boot animation the screen is quite good!
You say in the boot animation the screen is good, does it ever clear up entirely? You COULD get a display like that from software, but it's more than likely hardware. For example, running Gingerbread ROMs on the Infuse with Froyo bootloaders cause similar rainbow effects due to a change in coding, so you can POSSIBLY have a scrambled display without a hardware failure.
It may have just been a faulty phone and that's why it looks like it's in good shape. It's not necessarily something that someone broke. It could be a bad GPU chip, it could be a flex cable as mentioned, it could be a lot of things. If you (or rather your friend) got it for cheap, and you want to try opening it up to inspect the cables, you can find disassembly threads and videos to tell you how. You could be going on a wild goose chase though.

sometimes it boots up with that white messed up screen, sometimes it boots with the sense 4 lockscreen. lags a lot while trying to unlock the lockscreen, after that all hell breaks loose and screen becomes messed up pretty bad.
thanks for the tips man, i will try opening it up and having a look inside.
it could be a bad factory outlet as a friend suggested...

Well, hell, you can try reflashing the software if you can see enough in recovery mode (vol down and power at the same time). I can't see how it would hurt it any more. From the sound of it, you either have VERY messed up software, or more than likely, faulty hardware. Does it seem like the display works any better when it's been off for a while (cold)? If it gets worse the longer it's on, or if it had been on and you just rebooted, it would point more towards a faulty gpu chip to me and the heat causing the problem to come out.
Not sure about how warranties transfer or if they do at all (might depend country to country too), but you could see if it's still under warranty and can be sent in before you open it up.

Hmm... weird. Not sure what to say. Well, good luck. I hope it works out!
What honestly it looks like to me is that they tried to flash a american version of a rom on to the phone so you have the improper bootloaders and such. hopefully this works for you.

If the screen turns on then you didnt kill it. here are the stock ruu's for the HTC One X International. Make sure to choose the one proprietary to your phone and country.

I know I don't own an one x, but I do have a HTC Rezound, and I cracked the screen in it, and mine did the something while watching YouTube videos, but then it just went back to normal, this happened twice to me. I thought my screen was going out, but if yours is doing it and there's no physical damage, had to be something in the phone, or maybe software is that even possible? Lol.
Just thought I'd share what happened to me..
ICS Rezound.

yes it could be a software issue. so your phone had that issue after changing your digitizer/screen? and then became normally by itself later on...?

[Q] Looping + Volume down not working

Hi
I have a serious problem. In short, my phone is starting normally until it reaches to the Lock Screen it hangs there for a sec then it will restart and keeps like this until it is out of battery. Also for me the volume down button doesnt work at all meaning I cant reach to Bootloader.
Details:
One day my HOX fall into my fish tank but I was able to take it out immediately and put it into bag of rice and it survived with two things not working: headset input and the Volume Down button.
Ok. I had no problems without them until last night. I have Android Revolution HD but dont know which version I dont remember. I wanted to go back to stock. And here what I did as much as I can remember:
- Flashed secure BOOT.IMG. I took it out from RUU 1.29.415.
- Flashed Recovery also took it from RUU.
- Relocked it.
Until now I had no problem I was able to use HTC Quick Root to restart to bootloader. Actually After relocking it was rebooting always to bootloader. I was never able to go to Recovery at all.
The real problems started when UNLOCKED it again.
Now what is going on is that it is looping as I mentioned at the beginning. I CANT go to bootloader because of the button problem. And Mainly the HTC Quick Root cant recognize it when I connect it to My Laptop although I'm sure the laptop does.
I tried RUU a time and it showed me version error.
Please advise. I am desperate I cant afford buying a new phone.What should I do?
Hope those fishies didnt fry !

No the tank was empty I was filling the tank only.
Update:
I have just uninstalled HTC drivers from my laptop and installed them again. When I connect my HOX - it is turned off- I got the following :
USB Composite Device --- Ready to use.
USB Mass storage --- Ready to use.
MyHTC -- Ready to use.
HTC Android Phone USB Device --- Ready to use.
But the problem remains as it is.

Take it apart and wash it with isopropyl alcohol. You should be able to find some guides for this type of thing.

The more you use it, the less likely you'll be able to fix it. You need to disconnect the battery.
Impurities in the water will short the electronics and fry them.
The alcohol will help dissolve the impurities and clean the components, it will evaporate without leaving a nasty residue.
Good luck, but don't hold out too much hope.

Find a repair shop and see if they'll take on a water-damage repair. If they dont seem confident (like they've done it before - they might confidently express doubt!), try another.
WOW. I was able to go to Fastboot simply by pressing the Volume down hard, REALLY HARD.
So now I am confused and scared what to do.
flash a rom!!

I suggest to flash a new rom,( if your hox bootloop or stucks at bootloader)... if battery is empty, charge it with a charge script.

Did you try taking it to the service center?
I agree it is pretty funny. But i dont have any warranty for the phone so I was just going to change it out myself assuming it was not too difficult.But i cannot find a write up or anything like that. So any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the links. I saw the tear down of the entire phone, that's what i was going to try and follow. Hopefully all goes well. going to order the new motor and a new front screen as well and get them replaced.
Thank You

Same here.
I'd suggest using Krazy Glue or any form or Cyanoacrylate to secure it in place.
Well, i opened up the phone yesterday to see if it had come loose. but it is still held in place with its double stick tape. So i assume it's broken on the inside. So i will be ordering a new and gluing it into place hah.

Yes! that's what i discovered now, i went to recovery mode (Power Button+Vol down button) and i was so suprised that it lasted 2 hours now without shutting down or fading to darkness
Now i'm confused, if it was a hardware problem then we will face the same problem but i'm not sure if it's the motherboard

You have to stress the phone to see if it is stable. Recovery is a low resource environment, boot into Android and then see it is not working. Trust me, i have a device with the same symptoms and fixed it by baking the motherboard in an oven.
