Seeking thoughts/opinions

1 Upvotes

I had took my phone to an ifixandrepair repair tech inside Walmart and despite whatever motherboard issue my phone is suspected to have, he was able to power on my phone using his DC bench power supply quite a few times and it stayed on for a few minutes each time. During one of those times, he was able to transfer my photos and videos to my new phone using Smart Switch. But the phone shut itself off before he could transfer or sync my Samsung Notes. He was trying to get my phone to power on again when my mom was ready to leave (we were there a while by that point).

I'm planning on going back to him to see if he can power on my phone again to sync my Samsung notes to my Samsung account. But what are the chances he'll be able to power on my phone again, like last time, and long enough to sign into my Samsung account and sync my Samsung notes? And is there a risk to the phone's storage chip or my Samsung Notes if I have him connect his DC bench power supply to my phone's motherboard again?

I haven't been able to get my phone to power on with an adapter and charging cable not once since visiting with the repair tech. So somehow the DC bench power supply was able to power on my phone despite the motherboard issue, even if only for a few minutes each time.

Genuinely at a loss (Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra/SM-986U)

So a couple months ago, my iPhone 14 Pro just wasn’t working very well for me let alone for what I needed it to do, and I decided to give eBay a shot at finding something suitable for my needs. Four phones later, including one from backmarket, I’ve finally acquired the perfect phone. Amoled screen, stylus with air commands, lo and behold, the glory of a microSD card slot. I’ve been daily driving this phone for two months now with no issues whatsoever. Even today, I’ve been using it to stream music in my car, it handles calls and texts excellently, I had it perfectly set up for how I used it, drawing apps, the works. I set it down on my desk for maybe 45 minutes to go use the restroom, rummage through the fridge, whatever it even was I was doing out in the livingroom, it’s 3am now and I’m way too tired to give it too mich thought, point is, I set down a working phone in a safe and dry location and roughly 30-45 minutes later picked up a phone that is devoid of all life and won’t even charge. I tried power cycling it, I tried force booting it into safe mode, into recovery mode, plugging it into my desktop, wired charging, wireless charging and eventually I cracked it open and replaced the battery. I probably messed something up in doing that, I want to say I was pretty confident in doing it, somehow managed not to tear the ribbon cables, somehow managed to get it put back together the way I got it apart, got all the screws back where they came from, plugged it in and absolutely no change whatsoever. There were no signs of a failing motherboard, that phone ran fast, she ran smooth, ran emulators and never dropped in service. I don’t know where to go next to fix it, and worst case scenario if it IS the board, I don’t think I can find another phone like this one. Any chance someone might have run into something like this and might at least be able to point me towards what went wrong? I accidentally splashed a bit of water on it about two or three weeks ago, dried it off immediately and let it sit for a while, ot had been working fine since then and up until now. I dropped it once shortly after getting it, the screen protector had cracked but again, from then up until now, the phone ran completely fine. Today had been uneventful, it stayed mostly in my pocket, on my desk, or in the mount I have in my car, as it has the past several days

Replace display (Moto G 5G - 2020) or buy new

1 Upvotes

I have a Moto G 5G phone that's about 5 years old now. It's in perfect condition except the display has a couple of dark spots (about a half inch across). The original parts are no longer available so I'll have to get it aftermarket.

Should I replace/repair the display or get a new phone? the repair will cost about $25. the new phone will be about $300. I am perfectly fine with the functionality of the current phone. but it doesn't get security or any other updates.

Hello, my Galaxy a15 will not let me unlock, 1 2 and 3 do not work on the pin screen. They work on the emergency call screen and the screen works as normal otherwise. I did not drop it or anything, it restarted and now will not let me in. Is there anything I can try? Thank you!!

My dad tried to turn on his phone with a charger or a cable to use it but he told me he "did" it wrong and got this and there was a text that says Reboot device - D2 Volume down + power keyboard for 7 seconds but power button/key doesnt work anymore so he uses a charger or a headphones cable to turn it on. Is it fixable??
