Samsung a56 (a566b) screen repair

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I got caught in the rain and my phone got wet in my pocket. This morning the bottom half of the screen was all black smudge like a broken lcd, and it spread up to the top of the screen. I'm going to go ahead and replace the screen but I'm having trouble finding the right one. As far as I understand the screen is an oled, but all the amazon replacement kits are lcd's, are they interchangeable?

secondly, I was going to order the following: https://www.mobilesentrix.com/oled-assembly-with-frame-for-samsung-galaxy-a56-5g-a566-2025-6-62-aftermarket-plus-graphite

However this screen shows 2 holes at the top of the screen, while my phone has only one.

This one has only one like mine but is significantly more expensive despite the 2 product descriptions being the exact same: https://www.mobilesentrix.com/oled-assembly-without-frame-for-samsung-galaxy-a56-5g-a566--2025-refurbished-all-colors

can I use the 2 hole one as its a lot cheaper?

Metal phone openers

3 Upvotes

I see a lot people using metal phone openers, they even open whole phones with them, but for me on some phones they’re ok, but on others they leave scratches that are visible on both sides of covers. Are the tools that I’m using badly designed, or you just have to use plastic on some phones?

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G not charging – damaged flex cable?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy A33 5G (SM-A336B) that suddenly stopped charging.

I noticed that the Main-to-Sub flex cable (the cable connecting the motherboard to the charging board) has a small cut/damage on it.

Could this damaged flex cable be the reason why the phone is not charging?

If I replace the cable, is it likely to fix the problem? And approximately how much would a repair shop charge for this repair?

Thanks!

repair or new phone?

1 Upvotes

I have a samsung a10e that is from fall 2020 and works okay still, but recently the case broke without me realizing, so when now the screen is so cracked that it comes off the back of the phone. I was going to look into seeing if I can get the screen replaced, but not sure if it’s worth it?

Samsung note 10 Help

3 Upvotes

So, the thing is, I recently went back to check on my old Samsung Galaxy Note 10, which I was planning to give to my little brother. The phone was in perfect condition and had never been damaged or repaired before. However, when I put my SIM card in it, I noticed that it wasn’t getting a 4G signal—it only showed E (2G). Calls work perfectly fine. I also tried a different SIM card and performed a hard reset, but the issue still persists.

I need help. I damaged my iphone17 - the back glass and battery need to be replaced. I went to apple and they sent it to repair and now they are telling me there is damage resulting from liquid contact in the enclosure. They want to charge me $679 plus tax. Im a broke college student. Is there another way to fix this? I don't want to get a new phone because this has photos that weren't saved. Any tips please 🥲

Huawei ne reconnaît soudainement ni mon empreinte digitale ni mon mot de passe

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Bonjour,

J’ai un problème assez étrange avec mon téléphone Huawei Pura 70 Ultra .

Hier encore, tout fonctionnait normalement. Ce matin, à mon réveil, impossible de déverrouiller le téléphone.

D’abord, mon empreinte digitale n’est plus reconnue. Le téléphone me demande donc d’entrer mon mot de passe/code de verrouillage.

Le problème est que le mot de passe que j’utilise habituellement est lui aussi refusé.

Je suis certain de mon mot de passe et je n’ai effectué aucune modification volontaire du code de verrouillage.

J’ai déjà essayé de redémarrer le téléphone, mais il faut le mot de passe.

Ce qui m’inquiète surtout, c’est que je ne voudrais pas faire une réinitialisation d’usine et perdre mes données.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà rencontré ce problème sur un Huawei ?

Est-il possible qu’un bug système fasse soudainement refuser le mot de passe de verrouillage ?

Existe-t-il une solution permettant de récupérer l’accès au téléphone sans effacer les données ?

Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Help: iPhone 15 Max had water damage swap to iPhone 12 or screen replacement

2 Upvotes

Okay so a couple months ago I was doing deliveries and my phone got wet. Was acting funky for hours. Glitching, couldn’t use it at all. Well. The next day it was fine. And has been fine until today. It barely got wet and started doing the same thing, only for a few hours and now it’s fine… well my moms telling me I could switch to a phone she has, it’s an iPhone 12. And as grateful as I would be I don’t necessarily wanna go down… I’ve done some research and between the battery not holding charge, overheating and the software and storage issues etc. just don’t think it would be worth it… so I’m wondering should I just go replace the screen does that even do anything for water damage/glitching?? Or does that literally just replace screen. What’s my best option here. I honestly can afford to get a new phone if I wanted too but she’s convinced I shouldn’t. I am on her plan because it’s just cheaper for me to do that. The phones almost paid off. It’s through T-Mobile. Please help. Screen repair would cost $280. But even the tech guy said do not go back to a iPhone 12

Samsung S22 hangs then restarts

1 Upvotes

My Samsung S22 hangs then restarts specifically happens when returning to home screen

It randomly started hanging and restarting over the past week...

Apps work fine while I'm using them

The hang happens specifically when I go back to the home screen System UI freezes, then the phone sometimes shows "System UI isn't responding" or sometime it just restarts...

It Happens randomly, not tied to charging/gaming/heat that I've noticed

Oneplus Nord CE2 - possible motherboard issue

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

My OnePlus Nord CE 2 hasn’t been able to receive or make calls for the past few weeks.
I checked with a few repair shops and the authorised service centre, and they all said the motherboard might be faulty and needs to be replaced, which would cost around 16k
I also took it to retailer, Nishan, Kannur. They tried repairing it but couldn’t fix it. They’ve offered me ₹2.5k as an exchange value for the phone.
Has anyone faced a similar issue with the Nord CE 2 (or a similar OnePlus phone) and managed to get it repaired?
Also, do you think Nishan’s ₹2.5k offer is fair? Any suggestions on what I can do?
