Motorola Droid RAZR HD Troubleshooting

You can't get your device to power on.

Your battery is dead. Try plugging the device into a power outlet for a few minutes, then try powering it on. If the battery won't hold a charge, you may need to replace it.

For help replacing the battery, see the battery replacement guide.

The LCD display may be broken although the rest of the phone is still working. If this is the problem, you will most likely need to replace the screen assembly.

For help replacing the display, see the display replacement guide.

If nothing else worked, the motherboard is most likely broken. You can try performing a hard reset by holding the power button and volume down button down for 20 seconds. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to replace it.

For help replacing the motherboard, see the motherboard replacement guide.

The rest of the phone may still work, but won't recognize input from the power button. Go ahead and replace the power button.

For help replacing the power button, see the power button replacement guide.

Your battery drains but will not recharge.

Everything works, but something might be in the way. Make sure there is no dirt, dust, or other debris in the way. If there is, try blowing in the port.

The phone still works, but the electricity can't get from the wall to your device. Try charging with a different chord.

One of the soldered connections to the motherboard most likely has broken. If you find the broken connection you can attempt to re-solder it. Otherwise, you will have to replace the motherboard.

For help replacing the motherboard, see the motherboard replacement guide.

You can't get your device to connect to your provider's coverage.

Use a paperclip to pop out the sim card tray and re-seat the sim card before pushing it back in. Also make sure the port is clean before the put it back in. If it is dirty, gently blow on it or clean it with a soft cloth.

You may be in an area that doesn't have coverage; try moving to an area that you know has service. Airplane mode may be on; try turning that off. It also may just be a bug. Try turning the device off and on, or try a hard reset.

The Port is damaged in a way that it will not read the sim card. Since the port is attached to the motherboard, this means you will need to replace the motherboard.

For help replacing the motherboard, see the motherboard replacement guide.

You broke the glass of the display.

Provided nothing else is broken, you just need to replace the screen assembly.

For help replacing the screen, see the screen replacement guide.

Your camera takes bad pictures, or won't take pictures at all.

Sometimes the camera won't allow itself be used if the battery doesn't have enough power. Plug your device in and try again.

There may be something in the software that is preventing the camera from performing correctly. Try restarting the phone, or if that doesn't work, a hard reset.

Open up the device and check connections. If cables are not connected, plug them back in.

For help reaching the rear camera to check connections, see the rear camera replacement guide.

Something may have broken in that last 'drop test' you put your phone through. Go ahead and replace the camera.
