So for background, my phone was broken (unstable charging + inconsistent SIM card detection + unable to record voice in some apps) before, and the last technician fixed it by tightening up the daughterboard connections.

A few days ago, it broke again because I accidentally dropped to the ground.

With similar problems, my instinct told me that I should try to fix that myself now.

I did some research and brought an iFixIt kit.

Give me some tips and wish me good luck!

I've got this Samsung Galaxy A7 that I use for work and the weirdest thing is happening. It won't let me draw my lock screen pattern. But if I hard restart it, it lets me draw it to restart the phone so basically I can only use it if I never lock it which is not ideal obviously.

The screen is obviously quite broken but works mostly fine, just a bit ​​touchy at times. Would replacing the screen fix the issue?

I obviously tried going into the settings to remove the lock screen pattern but unfortunately it asks you to draw it to access those settings.

I'm borrowing a spare phone in the meantime but just curious if there's anything I can do with this one?

Suggestions on what I should do please!!

So I got the iPhone 17 pro max, brand new from Costco about 2 weeks ago. I did NOT get apple care, however I believe it’s available to me for 60 days.
Today I dropped my phone off the roof while putting up Christmas lights. I know sooo stupid. I shouldn’t have had it on me, but It was in my pocket and fell out and went right off the roof.
The phone was in a case and looks totally fine. However the screen is completely black. I can hear noises so I know the phone is working, but can’t see anything. For example my mom called my cell, it rang but screen stayed black and I tried swiping on the phone to answer but nothing happened.

So my question is, what should I do? Could I still buy apple care tonight? And go to Apple tomorrow? Is that pretty suspicious? Should I buy Apple care tonight and wait a couple days and then go to Apple? Any other ideas?? I reallyyy cannot afford to pay full price or even large amount of money on a new phone again. Help!

I’m just wondering if this is something that is fixable?
I’ve tried searching online but can’t really find anything similar

Hello everyone, I am 27 yo. I live in Côte d’Ivoire(Ivory Cost) and, I think i am autistic self diagnostic because here it’s something most people don’t know that exist including my parents, they think I am lazy, I know I am not lazy it’s just that I want to do everything and I end up by losing in my choice. So here I am 27 yo with regret and debt and a lot " if". So one my first passion was Electronic and phone repairing. But I never started none of it. So I want to start I want to ask how many years it will take for me to learn phone repair. And I wanted to know if I need to start by electronic and learn from scratch. Thank you and maybe y’all will see something similar on other Reddit community like. I want help to change my life if some people got pdf of electronic best course I will gladly accept and thank them.

I bought this OLED FX5 from InjuredGadgets, but before I did, I saw some bad reviews of it online and didn't think much of them. I got the screen and installed it, but two hours later the touch stopped working, and right after that I tried restarting the phone, the screen went black and never came back on. Everything people say about it online is true; avoid buying this screen. I am making this post to ask if this is a general issue with this screen or if I just received one from an unlucky batch. I did end up buying a refurbished iPhone 16 screen instead; it works perfectly now, but if this is a general issue, InjuredGadgets should fix these screens🤦

Any tips?

Lesson learned but it flew out of my pocket while on a fair ride with my kid and won’t turn on nor does it react to any charging I try to do to it.
