I have a gt-p5210, which randomly bricked. Now it doesnt show any lifesigns, its just a expensive paperweight. I checked the battery: works. I checked the charging cable: works, the screen: works. It seems like everything works fine but not the motherboard. Is there any way I can fix the motherboard (for example reset it) or recover the data from it? Or could be other things causing the issue?
Thanks for all answers

Hey Guys!
I have a big problem!
2 Weeks ago, the display of my G3 (not rooted, original LG Android) broke and i sent it to repairmyphone.de (I'm from Germany) for repair. Today my G3 came back and the display was fine. So i think they changed the display and repaired my phone.
Sounds good right? Well not exactly, because now there is a problem:
The touchscreen is working fine, but when i lock my phone (With the DoubleKnock or the Button) and turn the display on again, the touchscreen isn't working and i can't unlock the phone.
Only after i pull the battery out and start the phone again, the touchscreen is working fine. But when i lock the phone the same thing happens again. Even when i turn off the lockscreen and turn the display, the touchscreen is not working.
The strange thing is, the KnockOn is recognized so it turns the display on when i double tap it, but nothing is recognized after that.
I did a factory reset but the same problem happens again.
So i don't really know if it's a hardware or software problem is and if any one of you can help me with my problem.
I wrote the repairservice an e-mail but i think it will be read on monday.
So if nothing works i have to send it back again, but maybe you guys have a solution for me.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
My sprint S3 recently quit showing it's display. If I push the power button to wake up the screen, the display will flash for a moment then go blank.
I swapped out the mid case/ digitizer from a working phone, and the problem still exists. The problem is somewhere on the motherboard card.
Any ideas on a fix? Re-bake the board?
I just want to get my information transferred to a new phone, but I also have the dreaded USB port problem.
Thanks.

from what i have seen in the forums, if it's the motherboard it's better to get a new phone....
Well, I did get another phone. I'm trying to figure out how to get the files that are on my old phone. Kinda hard when there is no display and the USB doesn't work.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
I bought my beloved Huawei Mediapad M2 in January 2016.
After a recent sabotage, I had to send the tab for repairs because the LCD wasn't functioning. But a few days ago, my Mediapad M2's screen flickered although I already retrieved the tab from our local Huawei authorised centre and then the screen turned off when I received a phone call from my family so I can't pick up the call because I can't see whatever that is on the screen, how to fix this without having all my data becomes wiped out again? Yes, I have a lot of work saved in this tab.
Before you ask further about memory card, thing is, nope -- I don't use any, all files are saved directly into the internal storage of the Mediapad M2. I know the tab is still working because when I tried calling my number (which is in the tab) from another phone, the tab rings. So does when messages come in. And when I plug in the headphones I can listen to music from my tab.
I want to backup my files before re-sending the tab to the service centre because they might wipe off all data again upon rectifying the issue, but before that happens, how do I suppose to do the backup when I can't even see what's shown on the screen (because the Huawei HiSuite software installed in the PC requires confirmation of the tab being connected to the PC by touching on an OK button which is supposed to show up on the tab)?
Please help, thank you in advance.
I have the same problem
Did the screen turns like grey after a while ???????
Hmmm.... this seems to be a fairly common issue, from what I can see in my searches. Most of the threads I saw in my searches (see "references" below) recommend trying the following things. DISCLAIMER: I have not tried any of these methods; you try them at your own risk.
- Try a hard reset - keep the power button pressed until the phone reboots.
- Press VOLUP + POWER and see if that fixes the issue.
- Press VOLUP+VOLDN+POWER to boot into recovery and see if that fixes the screen issue.
- Let the battery completely drain (do not charge it for a couple of days) and see if it fixes the issue (note: this is a modification of a solution where people remove the battery, let the phone sit for 10 minutes and then replace the battery. Since we cannot remove the battery on the M2, we should just drain the power).
- This may sound stupid, but give the phone a couple of smacks. If it is some loose connection in your screen connector, this may (temporarily) fix the issue.
If everything fails, you may need to take it back to the store and allow them to factory-erase it.

I got it
So it's a problem on the flex cable that conect the motherboard to the screen, it cost like 9$.
And if when your tablet was ok you had "automatic scyn" on, when you reinstall all over again if you pay attention from what google say, it's like have your tablet with the same things.
I have this problem too
Did you already solve this problem?
I had the same issue. But you have to repair it yourself. Or have it done by someone who knows how to do it. The touchscreen is attached to the body of the tablet by a connector cable. This is probably broken.
You can order spare parts for this tablet online.
I found mine on ebay and AliExpress.
It is also possible the touch part of your screen, or the whole screen (LCD part and touch part) is broken. All parts are easily replacable!
If you need any further help on how to do this there are videos on youtube.
Good luck and I can post more specific details if necessary.
Hello,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605 3G+Wifi) that began to stop charging when the screen goes off. Yes, it's weird but not uncommon. All the topics I found (like this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775833) are fixed by using the original Charger + Cable, which I already did. I even purchased from Samsung a new cable, just in case, with no luck. I also have opened the tablet and resettled all the connections (the vga flat cable and the battery connector). No luck either. :crying:
The only way I have to charge my Note is by installing an app that keeps the screen on while charge. Than it takes 10 hours to charge (with wifi, bluetooth, etc off, and brightness in the lowest) 100% but at least I can keep using my tablet.
EDIT: It also charges when turned off, but the charging speed is as slow as when on with the screen on. Only when on, I connect it to power, it starts charging, the screen goes off and, after a couple of seconds, screen comes on again and its not charging. Its like someone has pulled the charging cable.
I am tired of this and would like to have a definitive fix. If I buy a new battery, will it be fix? What is exactly the problem here? Reflash the ROM will it fix? Does any one knows?
Thanks for the help.
A full wipe and reinstall would likely fix your problem. I've been in this problem once, where the device charges under any condition, but it does so s l o w l y, no matter through what connection. Solved this by doing a NAND wipe through ODIN and re-installing all with that too.
What's your current ROM and bootloader? What kind of modifications have you done?
I'm running 5.1.1 stock rom with root only.
Will have to try that solution and reinstall all my stuff. Thanks.
Good news. Problem is solved.
So I wipe data... no luck, same problem. Download ROM and ODIN, entered in Download mode, connected the USB and... Nothing happened... only the tablet starting charging but the OS didn't detected anything. Tried other PC, same result. So the problem must be on the USB Port.
Checked this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZcwHd0wy0M
Opened the tablet and took off everything like shown there. Including USB Port, flat cable and battery. Reassembled eveything and... voila... problem solved.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm wondering if there's anyone else who is facing this problem or I'm just unlucky.
On last Sunday, when I was listening to YouTube Music at a low battery (around 15%), after a while the phone shut itself off. I guess it was just the phone ran out of battery so I tried to charge it. But the moment I plugged in the charger, the hidden emergency flash light in the front turned on (the one on top right). When the phone successfully booted up, an application called CQATest appeared with a notification. The phone won't charge and take SIM card anymore since then.
I've done some research and tried many methods to fix it, including reboot in the recovery, factory reset, using adb to change boot mode, reflash the rom, disabling the CQATest app. None of them could solve my problem. Disabling the CQATest app does let me to have signal again, but I still cannot get the phone charge. It shows Turbo Power connected, but not charging.
Is there anybody facing the same issue, or even better, have a solution?
Thank you.
Update: I found a solution for this. I put my phone to fastboot mode and charge it from there, overnight. Next morning, it's working normal again.
You can always try a custom ROM. And make sure to format every partition in TWRP before - format, not just wipe.
If that works you can try other stuff. If not you have a hardware issue is guess and only a phone repair could fix that.
PS: try a different charger. If it's only not charging it might be an issue there. And have you tried to charge it while the device is shut down?

Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try another charger. However I'm using a Qualcomm qualified charger so I don't think that's an issue. I brought it to UbreakIfix and they told me it's a motherboard problem so the only way to fix it is to change the motherboard. It'll cost a phone to do that. I'm just wandering if there's any body else who is having the same issue. Because my problem appeared out of no where.
That's normal. Hardware problems often appear out of nowhere all the sudden. And it's always hard the really on them down to a source.
And yes, repairs for not typical phones are always expensive. On my first Z Play the screen cracked. Seeing the price of a repair and realising I could get an unused Z2 Play for the same money you can guess what I did. Can't say I regret it too much.
