Alcatel One Touch Android Phone: My ALCATEL One Touch flash model 6042d -lcd display got cracked

Sat, 09 Dec 2017 08:50:20 -0700

my mobile phone fall down and unfortunately my touch screen is cracked. Partially its unresponsive to touch, but LCD is totally OK.

I contacted authorised service centre and they told me, that its only possible to change the whole screen with LCD, not just digitizer (because of adhesive between). Of course, its quite expensive... Thats why I ask for advice. i do not found any online shop in india also.pl.help me.

Samsung Galaxy S8: How do I remove Samsungs Live Demo Unit Software?

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 08:23:18 -0700

Hello all! I have recently bought a lot of samsung smartphones on eBay. They are all Live demo Units. I am aware that there is no baseband in this phone and no IMEI assigned to them so it will never be able to connect to a cellular network but im getting really annoyed with the live demo software and would like to know how to remove it. I would flash with Odin but im on a MacBook Pro so thats not an option.

The phones are:

Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge (SM-G925x)

Samsung Galaxy s6 (SM-G920x)

and...

Samsung Galaxy s8 (SM-G950-XU)

Thanks!

Also don't bother saying return it because the screen of the s8 is worth the same that I paid for all of these. ($200 CAD)

iPhone 6: Home button not working after replacing screen

Sat, 28 Dec 2019 04:12:03 -0700

Hi!

I just replaced the screen on my wife's phone after it was cracked. Everything's working OK now except for the Home button. It's totally unresponsive right now.

I disconnected and reconnected all the cables on the front plate and I'm still getting the problem. Enabling Assistive touch as a workaround works, but I'd like to have a functioning Touch ID and Home button.

I'm wondering what I could have done wrong that could be fixed I've seen plenty of issues that refer to Touch ID not working after this operation, but nothing that covers the whole Home button being dead. Any ideas?

LG G2: Display works but touchscreen broken LG G2

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 11:00:27 -0700

Phone information: LG G2 4G LTE VS980

I accidentally dropped my phone today and when I picked it up, it seemed as if I hammered it. I can be sure that I dropped it on the back but there was a huge crack in the upper mid section right below the speaker. I have been dropping my phone quite a lot but I had a case on it (it was a weak thin silicone case covering just the back part). Anyways, the buttons on the back worked just fine and the device was completely functional except for the touchscreen. Even the home button, back button, and the menu button on the front was part of the touchscreen as well, so the device is pretty much useless.

Overall, I dropped my phone, there was a huge crack, touch screen does not work, but the display shows up just fine.

Question: What is broken? the digitizer or the LCD?

If I replace it, would i need to buy the digitizer, the LCD, or both?

Can I replace just the parts by getting the parts from amazon? or can you suggest me where else?

Is it better to get it fixed, buy a new one, or just replace it myself?

Please reply ASAP

LG Rumor (LX260): Phone won't charge unless charger is plugged in at a certain angle.

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 20:11:20 -0700

My LG Rumor isn't charging and I believe the connectors are to blame. My wife has same phone that charges fine with the same charger. I did notice that when I plug the charger in to my phone and put something heavy on it, the phone will charge.

Is there a way to replace the port where the charger plugs in? How hard would it be to do this?

iPhone 4S: My iPhone 4s doesn't detect any wifi

Wed, 13 May 2020 00:12:10 -0700

Hello,

First please forget my English, I'm French. My problem is that my iPhone 4s doesn't find any wifi. I've tried to reset the network and wifi. I opened it and saw if the antenna was connected (it was). I bought a new wifi and Bluetooth antenna and changed the old one, but it still doesn't work. I've no more idea. Please, it would be kind if someone could tell me what can I do to fix my problem. I've never taken my iPhone in for repairs nor have I opened it before my actual wifi failure. Thanks

iPhone 4: How to retrieve pictures from iPhone that won't turn on

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 03:30:37 -0700

I have an iPhone 4 that is very much broken. I finally got my computer to recognize it, but it is locked with a passcode. The screen will not come on at all for me to enter the code, so I can't find a way to get the pictures off of it. I'm sure if I replaced the glass/LCD I could get it to work—but I've already bought an iPhone 5, so I'd really hate to have to do that. Is there any way to get these pictures off without putting more money into the phone? Is there a way to enter the passcode from the computer?

Thanks!

OnePlus One: Phone touchscreen is broken not sure what to fix.

Sat, 18 Jun 2022 10:23:54 -0700

Hello!

My Oneplus One fell in the bathroom which broke the glass a little bit in the top left corner.And now my touchscreen aint working. Alot of phones still work even with a crack on their screen so my question is. When it fell on the ground did it break my sensor of my phone? And is it replaceable or can I just replace the touchscreen and make it work that way ?
