Ok so the mrs had this Nokia 6.1 2018 TA-1050 and the charge port broke the phone was otherwise working fine it would still charge if got cable right place but only charge 50% over night she managed on for few days till I bought her a new phone , anyway it was still in good condition and shame chuck away so I decided to buy a replacement USB C charge port pcb in order to replace this part I needed to remove the screen ! not easily done and ended up breaking digitizer , was easy to replace charge port and cost £1:99 from Ebay, so now I needed a new screen and digitizer so ordered one on Ebay around £23 this arrived i put phone back together and with only one ribbon and clip to connect screen I put that back on and booted phone before I fixed screen back down with adhesive to test , Now phone boots and I can hear the Nokia start up jingle but the display just does not come on what so ever I can plug charger in and hear charge sound and can hold power Vol up and vibrates and can hear sound when boot up just no display , I can't see really what could of gone wrong when it's only one ribbon connection for screen that is definitely pressed down and in place I've took apart and rebuilt number of times and still no screen coming on so I'm at loss to what it is other than been sent a dud screen , but with no way to tell I don't have much of a argument I've contacted the Ebay seller and explained hoping he will send another but not holding my breath on that other than I haven't left feedback yet so that might sway for a replacment, just don't understand why screen not work now when it was fine before I broke orig just thought would be a cheap easy fix and save the phone for a while longer , maybe I was wasting my time Lol , anybody have any idea , appreciated

Did you update to April Security Patch? My touchscreen stopped working within 12h after updating. I don't think it's a coincidence. Phone is 3 weeks old, didn't drop it, nothing. Maybe, you're experiencing the same issue.

I got caught in that major downpour on saturday and my BA and Globalsat BT-338 GPS unit got soaked.
I dried them off in the car and tried the BA. It powered on, and on the blue imate screen (I flashed it with a PDA2K image) I saw a very brief bit of corruption on the screen. It got into windows then rebooted.
I got it home, dried some more, tried again. Dead as a doornail.
Put it in the cradle, the red "break call" button was dimly flashing. Not an even flash, a bzzt bzzt "I am shorting" kind of flash.
I immediately pulled it out of the cradle and left it to dry more overnight.
Today I tried it out of the cradle, still dead. Gingerly put it in cradle, the top right light went red (low battery I think this means) but no flashing break light so I left it and it went orange (indicating normal charging) after a while. I powered it on and it works. I still get the same brief bit of corruption just after the serial / rom ID screen on bootup.
It would not sync howver. I tried my lil-sync travel sync lead and that synced. I then had the idea of pulling the power plug out of the back of the cradle and letting it reset. It now syncs in the cradle.
All seemed good I thought. But I soon realised that the power button doesn't work. I cannot turn off the screen. If I hold the button down it toggles the backlight, so the button itself isn't broken, but I don't know what is...
I suppose I will have to call O2 and they will tell me to send it to a repair centre, but that will probably a) take ages and b) possibly cost loads.
I was thinking of taking it to a repair shop but I doubted they would know how to fix a BA. Also they may try to rip me off.
Any suggestions ?
Also if you know the best way of going about getting my globalsat BT-338 GPS repaired also that would be great. When I plug it in to charge the orange charging light flashes briefly but then nothing.
worst come to worst, install something like handymenu and make a quick action link for turn off, then assign that quicklink to one of the buttons to turn it off.
not sure that will work to turn it on though - unless you've worked out another way to do that?
When something gets wer, always take the battery straight out and thouroughly dry the inside with a hairdryer before trying to turn it on again. Probably not much help to you now though
I bet 02 will fix it for about £50.
I don't have a hair dryer - you need hair to make it worth having one and I haven't had any hair in years !
I will give O2 a call and see what they say.
I have a XDA2s for parts
Hallo
If you are interested i have O2 xda2s with brocen screen for parts exchange feel fre to contact me
07746555729
Take it to O2 just tell them it doesnt work and you dont know whats happened to it... play it dumb... always works for me. they replaced my entire screen with a brand new one for nothing and it only took under a week. It was so obviouse i had dropped it since ther was a clear dent at the top of the BA. only thing is that if they want to charge you for repair and you decide not to go ahead they will charge you to post it back to you.

exactly what i did uplift
posted it in today, fingers crossed...
I think I am defo gonna get insurance if I get it working again, too much worry...
well I sent it in to the official repairers (Anovo) and they sent it back "Fixed under warranty"
Except that it was NOT fixed, it was displaying the exact same fault, which is SO easy to replicate, how the hell can they call it "Fixed" ???
So I call up O2 cust serv and tell them. They asked me to fax in receipt from repairers which I did and they said they would be sending me a brand new handset
Woohoo !
Well i was happy with o2 till i noticed a ****ING crack on the bottom left hand side of the screen. so i went back a week later cos i was working and didnt have time.
Told them that it was sent back to me like that and they basicaly said piss off.... said they couldnt do anything about it that i could have broken it anytime myself... fair enough. So now i have an xda with a cracked screen and anywhere down in the left corner i have to touch about 6mm to the left of
any button to press on it.
So pressing the New button is impossible.
I cant belive how they didnt even question about how the screen stopped working the first time, so why the hell cant they replace it again!?
Im proper pissed off :twisted:
Anyone know anybody that has a dead xda with a working screen id gladly pay good money for it!
annoying, but I would imagine the screen is quite easily replaceable.
It's gonna cost, but better than being left with a paperweight...
You guys are not gonna believe this...
So O2 send the new handset.
When I got it I decided to use my old battery until the new one had charged.
Guess what... same problem !!
IT WASNT THE PHONE IT WAS THE BATTERY !!!
So, if your XDA fails to go into standby mode when you hit the power button - don't suspect the phone, suspect the battery !

if u do, make sure u dont get it wet, cos o22 insurance wont cover water damage.
I can't use O2 insurance anyway, you can only insure with 02 within something like 14 days of purchase.
Got same crack but in the right-hand bottom...
I am using my device in landscape mode while waiting for a reasonably priced spare part donor. Rotating the screen usually helps.

If I leave my phone on and come back to in about an hour it becomes unresponsive. The screen is won't come on, usb won't work and the power button doesn't work as well, but the lights still flash. All I can do is take the battery out and turn it on again.
At first i thought the keypad must have been getting disabled after a certain amount of time for some reason, but since the usb the connection alos dies when it's idle it must be something else.
I've been having this problem for awhile now. It first it started every once and awhile, but now it's getting to the point that I have to reset it every hour or so.
I just upgraded my ROM to Kavana 080408, but I've had this problem running the T-mobile WM6 ROM as well, therefore I'm guessing it's a hardware issue?
Any thoughts, questions, or help is greatly appriciated!
call tmobile and ask them to send you a new phone... its hardware issues...
Thank you. Err.. the only thing I haven't mentioned (for lack of mistaking the problem) is that just 3 days ago I dropped my phone outside and it rained the next morning. When I recovered the phone it was soaked.. I let it dry out and it worked again.
I think the incedent had to have been irrelevant, because I have been having this problem for about 8 months regaurdless, just not as severe.
Would T-mobile be able to know it got wet at some point and not exchange it because they'd assume the problem was due to water damage?
Well if you look under the battery to the right where the sim card goes, there is a litmus paper that turns purple/pink when wet and its white originally. I would just remove the paper if it is purple/pink and try to cut and glue a white piece of paper the same size. And then I would call them and tell them.
Glue and fish strips?
Thanks, but hmm.. how exact should this be? I was thinking about going to the fish store and buying some test strips and using those. Then i was thinking about thinning out some glue and using that to stick it. Does this sound good? I'll post how it goes.
Dash Arrived then Died
I just got my dash about two weeks ago. Before I could start finding my way around, it began acting strangely. It would not respond and sometimes suddenly cut off on it's on. Then it got to the point where it would not turn on right away. I would have to play with it (battery and SIM removal) and then it might turn on. I thought I was using the power button incorrectly.
Finally, the dash would not turn on at all. Since it was new and insured I requested a replacement. T-Mobile insisted that I test it with a alternate battery (I had a charger stand + battery on order but it had not arrived yet.) Since it would still not turn on via USB or power adapter (no charging lights either) I was certain it was not the battery. After arguing with a T-Mobile Rep and Supervisor I finally decided to lie (er um exaggerate) and tell them I had tested an alternate battery.
Before the new phone arrived the charger and spare battery arrived. I tried both batteries in the new phone with no problems.
You may want to try and get a new phone but the T-Mo rep definitely asked me the color of the paper strip inside the battery housing. My rep told me that it would change color if the LCD was damaged or cracked but I checked another phone (Samsung T409 and Motorola V188) and based on the locations of the strips I would assume it's a water damage test strip.
You may also want to see it you can remove a strip from an older phone.
Good luck!
Short Version: Phone worked, Sat for a month, doesnt get past cyanogen screen goes into protect mode.
Okay i bought an evo that had the screen replaced on it. The guy obviously didnt know what he was doing. So I dropped it one day and the digizer ripped off.( the flex cable ripped, The digitizer wasnt stuck down) So a month later, i finally got around to buying a brand new housing for the entire thing. I took the mobo out and put it in the new housing. It worked for about 5 minutes then gets stuck in a boot loop. I had it happen once, before i got the new housing, It took me 5 minutes to get it to work again. The phone would shut off randomly sometimes.
It worked fine before the screen broke off no major problems would shut itself off every 2 or 3 days. The board has sat in a bag on my table for a month and now it wont work.
Now i cant even get the phone to stay on at all. The cyanogen screen shows up it loads and then shuts right off (i have recovery) I have tried different kernels,roms, and radios. The phone goes into protect mode now. Can I hit with a heat gun and reflow the cpu like a ps3 or xbox? Is there anyway i can remove all hardware failure protection?

You have any insurance? Depending on how your morals are you could try to make a warranty claim on it (although after todays announcement I might feel bad considering theyre trying to help us out). Otherwise I would try flashing an RUU and if that doesnt work take whatever means necessary, although Im not sure why your mobo would be damaged after a month, have you tried cleaning it and blowing on it to get all the dust out?
My recommendation is to make sure you stretch first, then when you do throw the phone through the wall, that you make sure it's a wall that's going to be easy to repair.
Reading your post it looks like you bought a phone that was practically guaranteed to have problems.
You bought the phone equivalent of a lemon, so expect the same amount of effort into keeping this thing alive as if you were to buy a car lemon.
short of running an ruu or smashing it and saying you 20lb sledge fell from 20 feet and landed on it lol
I've never looked into something that says "protect mode" for an EVO.
However, most electronic can do this if the thing is going to over-volt. If you think about car amplifiers, they do the same thing and go into protection mode which means that capacitor or something much more is bad.
I agree with the other guy and that you threw yourself into a bad deal from the start so it's as if you're going to be fixing something that's already inherited potential issues.
Have you considered that the replacement screen may be the culprit? Aside from the potential drop damage that could have broken something on the logic board, the another possibility is that the hardware you just installed could be defective and causing the EVO to do this protect mode.
In any event, the best solution would now be to work with a company to get a diagnosis of the problem. If you get a diagnosis only, you can buy your own parts and do it yourself if you're like a McGyver type-a-guy.
Find a credible cell phone repair shop and just get an diagnosis first.
Hi all,
well I'm not happy at all. I am on the 3rd Nexus so far, the first one started having the phantom charging issue within about 2 weeks of owning it. That went back for repair, but when it came back I walked out the store and it would not turn on! Went back and the swapped it for a 'new' one. I say new but I'm not sure as I didn't see the box being opened. I started having problems with that one within a month or two, same again. Also every now and again it would not switch on easily without plugging it into a PC or something.
Anyway, I recently woke up one morning and the battery had died over night, tried to charge it with no luck. I have tried everything, the USB trick, leaving it overnight, all sorts. When I plug it into a USB port I get the ding dong noise, but about 4-5 seconds later it disconnects, then re-connects... and cycles again and again.
Well took it back to the shop and sent for repair and it came back exactly the same, because they say they found water damage!!! This is total rubbish and the photo 'evidence' they provided did not convince me at all! I have since opened the phone up and the tiny bit of residue on the top left of the main PCB looks more like flux than a water mark to me. The moisture sticker is fine and the area in question has hardly any components there, just a cap and resistor. I am an electronic engineer by trade and I know it would take more than that to break it!
I am certainly not going to lie down and let Vodaphone crap on me for a phone that has been well looked after and is old about 8 months old, there is no way that I'm prepared to pay £45 a month for the next 8 months for nothing!
I have ordered a new USB PCB so I will try that when it arrives but I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues and managed to resolve them? I haven't got another battery I can try but I would be surprised if it is that?
The screen didn't break but after it fell it did look like the bottom left hand corner was visible darker than the rest of the screen. Today, almost a week after the initial tumble I decide to see if restarting it would fix the problem and it did but it lead to bigger problems. Now if the screen turns off for any reason it stays off until I do a hard reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds. When I try and turn it back on the captive buttons light up but nothing else happens. When the screen is on after a hard reset I'm unable to adjust the brightness level when I pull down the top.
How likely is it that the LCD ribbon came loose? It seemed like there were issues with it before.
I'm at a complete loss for what could be wrong with it. Any advice for recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm really hoping I don't need any major repairs or even a new tablet because I can't afford much of anything.
My grandson recently had a tantrum and threw down my tablet. Afterwards the screen was flickering so I decided to restart it to see if that would fix it. The screen never came back on although I could hear it start up sounds and the capacitive buttons would light up. To make the story short, i contacted Samsung and they said it would be a standard $200 repair fee unless they found a loose cable. Today my credit card was charged $59 dollars by Samsung. I guess it was just the loose cable. Note that they sent me a prepaid UPS label to send it back to them and they are shipping it back to me all within that $59 charge. Well worth it for a great tablet.

You got to remove the back and disconnect the lcd and battery cables and reconnect them after 10 seconds and all should be good. This happened to me after I got the screen of death. I dropped it and the screen did it again. So I just disconnected them both, reconnected, and everything works fine.

Can you recommend any guides & kits that I can purchase from amazon to help me take the tablet a part?
YouTube it. It is real easy removing the back, patience is needed.
Yes go to youtube for the disassembly videos. I bought a generic repair kit from ifixit for the tools. Though guitar picks can also work well.
Basically when you drop it a cable gets loose. You just have to disconnect and reconnect it.
Mine was very clearly only half connected (not in the picture which is from when I replaced the battery). I also disconnected and reconnected the battery and lcd connectors to make sure. But the loose cable was on the top left and didn't seem to be one of those. Just reseat them all to be sure.
There is another thread on here about disassembly which has pictures that I used as reference.
I've had mine apart twice. Once when I dropped it and once when I replaced the battery for poor battery performance (this really was sooo worth it).
I just received a used Note today and was about to initiate a return because the screen was completely dark but the rest of the tablet seemed to be working, including touch. Removed the back, reseated the ribbon cable, and everything's good now.
Strange start to my experience with this tablet.
