Samsung Galaxy J7: Which screen do I need?

Wed, 17 Jan 2018 14:04:18 -0700

My friend is telling me her device is the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-700T.

When looking for parts I see TONS of different similar model numbers, and sometimes years. How can I be sure that I get the correct part?

Do the screens on all J7 phones cross? Or do I need a year specific part?

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: After swapping digitizer, device won't boot

Thu, 22 Sep 2016 02:47:35 -0700

Hi all, I recently swapped out the digitizer on a S7560M, and since then, the device is stuck in a boot loop, powers up, goes to logo, reboots.

I have torn down and re-assembled the device to check connections, all appears ok.

Can't get to safe mode or recovery, I'm stuck.

Since this is a fairly new device I can't find any further info. I have repaired many different devices over the years, and have not had an issue like this.

any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: My phone keeps turning off

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 05:22:52 -0700

My phone turned off by itself and then didn't turn back on. I removed the battery and let it sit for a while and then put it back on and still didn't turn on. After morr than one hour and half it turned on but later in thr night it did the same. Then I did a Reset using Recovery Booting. The next day it turned off again but after 10 minutes Iit turned on back and now it did the same and doesn't turn on. It turns of till I see the Samsung logo and then it turns off and on again just to see the Samsung logo. And when it worked after I did the reset I went to the software upgrade and it said that my opersting system has been modificated in an unauthorizate way. Does anyone knows what the problem might be?

Samsung Galaxy S III: Fix for main speaker after water damage?!?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 20:27:42 -0700

Galaxy III was splashed with water. I pulled the battery, wiped it down and left it open over night. Seemed to work fine for 2 days after. Then I heard the speaker humming when it was on the charger. Pulled the battery again and left it open. Now I noticed condensation inside both cameras and the flash. I let it air out and the condensation disappeared after a few hours. The next day all seemed to work fine (Wi-Fi, music, calls, texting, internet, touch screen and so on) but with in hours the main speaker just quit, not even a hum, crackle or buzz. Calls, headphones, and wifi direct still sound fine.

How do I fix or replace this speaker? Is this speaker gone for good? Will one of your dry bags save it eventually? (ah, if only I knew they existed before) I'd much rather buy one of your bags and tool kit than pay that evil deductible for a replacement.

thank you in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S III: Problem regarding the power button.

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 03:40:30 -0700

Firstly, I would like to apologize that I'm not inquiring on the iPhone issues.

Sir, I wanna ask regarding the power button of Galaxy S3. Why is it that sometimes when I press the power button, the power button will get stuck inside? Is this repairable? I already sent my phone to the Samsung service center twice, yet the result is still same. The power button will stick inside, especially when you press at the edge of the button instead of pressing it at its center point. Thanks for your precious information, iFixit.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: Phone not starting anymore

Sun, 01 Jul 2018 02:57:21 -0700

My Samsung S4 mini doesn't start anymore. I put it on charge last night, and it was dead this morning. Holding down multiple buttons doesn't give me any repsond, not even vibrating. But when I plug it into my computer i can see a RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6). If I can't fix the phone, I would at least like to try to save the data. Also, are there any other phones which use the same battery? That would make it easier to get hold of a battery to test if that's the problem.
