So I've been reading a lot of forums but I can't seem to get things to work. My friend recently gave me his old HTC one x to mess around with. He hasn't used it in like a year and a half, because about a year and a half ago, his phone randomly cut off while he was using it and it wouldn't cut back on.
He's not the kind of person who roots or messes around with the phone so its stock.
I am getting NO led light when its on the charger. I've tried holding the power button forever. I've tried the power + vol down combo. Currently I'm leaving it on the charger for like four days to see if that fixes it.
Anyone have any other ideas before I open up the phone?

A new battery to begin with...if there is no visible damage to the motherboard. Like condensation, oxidation etc

I haven't actually opened it up yet. The goal is to get it to work before that but its looking more and more like I'm gonna have to open it up

Same thing happend with my One X too.. I have been using it, one day it went off and never turned on again.
No charging sign, no action on power buttons/volume.
I have tried with battery replacement too, but no luck. Unfortunately the battery tricky in HTC One X (handle with care).
If it worked in any sense, please leave your steps to fix it.

I took it apart and got it to charge and cut on for a little bit but I noticed one of the ribbons looked awfully brown as if it had been fried. I'm assuming that's the problem in most of these

My camera LED just burnt out. I was messing around with the torch app and the light started flickering about 30 seconds after I turned it on. I tried a reboot and different apps that use the LED and I get the same issue with all of them.
I've tried searching google, amazon, and ebay for replacement LEDs and I haven't found anything. I figure it's a standard little bulb I can just replace relatively easily, but I don't know how to open up the phone to get to it and I don't know what to buy exactly.
Any help would be appreciated. I do make use of the light pretty often. I can't replace the phone since I bought it used and this is the only real issue that it has.

Have you tried throwing the phone off a cliff?
Let us know how this turns out!
How what turns out, throwing the phone off a cliff? Replacing the flash requires removing 3 screws and little more. Once the back case is off it is right there and it pops right out

or you could do the cool thing and solder on a new more powerful led, that would be a sick mod

Are there any videos? I'm afraid of really messing things up. The LED does seem to come with the tools I would need, so I'm glad for that
Youtube should be full of videos, the led is one of the easiest things to replace on this phone, super hard to mess up. Just look for any replacement (digitizer, lcd, etc) one of the first steps should be to take out the led

How did your replacement go? I've just ordered the kit from eBay.
I love my G2.
But now I know to reserve the flashlight function for emergencies
I got my One X over a month ago and all was good. My nephew dropped the phone last week and the phone screen got scratched quite a bit and the phone started playing up. WiFi kept dropping, software freezing. So since I still had insurance with my network I ordered a replacement. I received the replacement yesterday and when I pressed down the the sides of the phone I could see ripples all the way to the top of the screen. I called up and got a replacement for the replacement and it arrived today. Phone was completely drained in battery :S but I let it charge and then tested out the screen. Flex is still there but slightly less. This one is much more usable the the other but I was wondering, will it get worse? Do not remember this problem on my old one. Is it worth getting another replacement or should I stick with it?
Thank you
(1st was HT24, 2nd was SH24, 3rd is HT24)
And now I found a bright white pixel on the screen :crying: I'm seriously considering asking for another, but I'm dreading how bad that one will be.
I do also have a flex on my HOX. I own it already for 3 month. But it doesn't get worse. I think you should not worry about it.
I have no screen flex unroll I push really hard on ny screen and even then its only where I've pressed doesn't spread across the screen.
I would ask for a replacement but that's just me I take things back for the smallest of issues

See the thing is that the new one I received today shows the flex when I push on the side of the screen but but doesn't spread as much as the 2nd one. Seems to be fine with normal use. I'm just hoping it doesn't get worse as the screen is used more. I have 14 days to get this replacement replaced again so I will let you know how I get on.
Any more views would help!
Thank you

You have 14 days so wait for like 10 then get one anyway might get a perfect one

It doesn't affect it. You won't notice it with day to day use either as you won't be pushing that hard.

I have a friend's bone stock incredible 2 and it "totally quit working" on him. "Wen't black and never came back to life."
It has been dropped in a toilet before (clean... haha! Or so he says...) but he pulled the battery as quickly as he could, let it dry out for a few days, and said it worked fine for quite a long time after that. And then it just "quit" one day.
He has a replacement but he says he would like to get his Incredible back.
I told him I would see if there was anything I could do since I'm the "tech guy" around our group of friends.
I plugged in the phone and it does take a charge. After the light turned green indicating full charge, I unplugged the phone and tried to turn it on...
NOTHING.
I read how to boot into fast boot mode and found that you hold the volume down + power buttons at the same time.
When I do this, the phone flashes, very briefly, the fastboot menu screen and then goes black.
If I continue to hold the volume down + power buttons, the fastboot screen will briefly flash about every three seconds.
It flashes so quick that I cannot read any of the options but can see the word flashboot outlined in blue.
Does anybody have any suggestions that I should try before telling my buddy his phone is forever dead?
Much appreciation in advance!!!
That all sounds like bad hardware buddy, maybe replace the digitizer? Wild shot in the dark from me

I was thinking it was probably hardware related myself. As for the digitizer... Maybe? Who knows? Maybe there'e more to "it just quit working" than my friend is telling me? It would be fairly inexpensive and somewhat easy fix if it were the digitizer. I have replaced digitizers on multiple types of devices.
I'll probably just look up the price of one on eBay and let my buddy know how much they are with a disclaimer that there is absolutely no guarantee that a new digitizer will fix the problem.
Thanks
I have my one x now for 2 weeks and I can't believe I have a major problem already.
So this is the story : I was at my desk and I accedently swiped my phone to the ground. At first it looked nothing because i have a carpet floor. I picked my phone from the ground and it was off? I tryed powering it on but nothing happend. No bootloader button. No 15 seconds pressing. Nothing. Dead.
So I connected the usb power and thank god it came to live. But then i realised it was realy dark and flikkering. So im realy confused how this could happen.
Maybe because i soldered the wifi antenne a week ago?
Maybe the display cable has become loose...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, that might be the case, why don't you pick your phone apart and tighten any cables you had removed and then see?
Flickering is caused due to loose cable AFAIK...
Thank guys. Im going to try and look. I hope its not the motherboard
update: i dissambled everything. Checked everything twice. But nothing. Every cabel is tight and proper. Still realy dark and flikkering background light
also i broked the power button kabel. Now the power button doenst work. *sigh* think im going to sell this phone. Im out of idea's..

You may order a cable from eBay or rounded.com
As for the display cable, try removing it and attaching it again...
Hope you solve the problem.:thumbup:

I fell in the water with my phone. Salt water at that. Once I came to, my phone had a blinking light coming from the camera flash. I took battery out and let dry. Today I got up, took phone completely apart, cleaned with contact cleaner. Was ALOT of salt inside the phone. Anyways I got it cleaned up as best I could, pretty clean. Let dry again for a few hours.
Its back together now, turns on. Screen goes all crazy, pink and fuzzy. Pulsing blue led on front for about 10 seconds. Then nothing. Tried USB to PC nothing.
I found these phone don't come fully apart. I can take out main board, camera and a few plastic parts. But that's it. Lots of phone to take apart but no guides past this point and all the teardowns bring me to the same point.
Any ideas? Maybe bath the screen and what left for electrical components in alcohol?
Thanks

Sea water messes up components, think you should consider a new phone
Yea bro I'm gunna say that trying to fix it is more money and effort then just buying a new one
I already bought a new phone. Got another i747m. $400 didn't wanna mess with used phones again, last 3 used phones all ended up having an issue one way or another. Save a few bucks gain a few headaches.
Thanks for confirming what I thought though.
I am going to investigate fixing the phone. Still.
I got it to boot more now, pulsing boot led, vol buttons make a sound when I press them. I used my multimeter to test most of the connections. Everything I could check is fine. I think there is more salt behind the screen and behind the 2 small PCB chips that I couldn't get off. Going to try excessive force this time. Nothing to loose.
Is it safe to use the battery still? Its not swollen or nothing. Or should I not bother being as the water mark on the battery is pink?

The battery *should* be fine for a while. I've used a water damaged one for the longest time but it did spend a couple days in a bag of rice.
