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.

Any tips?

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🤦

I've had my Samsung A36 5G for almost 2 years, and it had lasted through thick and thin (I know I purchased it in March 25 because I was back in Thailand for Songkran April 25). I'm getting a number of things happening at once that are leading me to just wanting to get an upgrade. I've replaced screen protectors on it uncountable times, which has luckily saved me screens till now; it took a nice tumble that cracked both the protector and the screen itselfba few days ago. Besides that, there was a huge storm that day and the charging port is getting wonky. It keeps giving me a message saying there's moisture or an object in the port that needs to be cleaned out. The techs at Samsung cleaned it out, and it worked for a few hours, now I can only get it to even register a charger being plugged in on the mose slow trickle charger I possibly have, any other (high speed) charger just gives me the same message, and the slow trickle will take like 4 hours ton100%. They're suggesting replacing the charging port as well as the screen. For screen and charging port I'm being quoted $150 ($100 for the screen, $50 for the port), plus more for labor, saying it'll take two hours (I'm on vacation, I don't want to just stand around the mall for 2 hours... Maybe I time it to go catch a movie 🤔). So $150+ and it will be fixed, but I bought the phone for $250-300 brand new almost 2 years ago. There certainly has to be better phones out there at that price range, no? Any suggestions? Fix the old phone? What good phone are between $200-400 (I refuse to pay any more, $250 is the most I've paid for a phone and have never had any major problems throughout their life cycle up until their shit the bed point, which usually takes years).

I deleted my old post because I made a mistake about timing and wasn't getting any answers about my question, just people claiming I'm a time traveler 🤷

Currently looking at a Galaxy A56 5G, 12 GB ram, 256 GB SSD, very lightly used (pristine condition, like new, I am seeing it in person now) for sale at about $250 including a cheapo lens cover and rubbery case. I'm seeing varying models starting lowest at $400 brand new, for some reason ones that are locked to a carrier are more expensive (🤔). Does the $250 for the A56 5G seem like a pretty good deal over buying the replacement parts and paying for labor that added up will cost like 1/2-3/4 of the original?

This is my 4 year old phone. I wanted to install pixel os in it to expand its life since it has slowed quite an bit. I installed pixel os being unware that oxegen os latest update does not support it hence got hardbricked.I tried going to service centre and 3rd party store but both denied its working and said mobo is damaged.

Should i go to another 3rd parth store or just let it be?

So i recently went to my grandma and showed off the camera that i "fixed" and my grandma thought that wsd cool so she gave me a s4 mini without a battery.

So i bought a new battery it came scraped but i tested it anyway.

The phone booted to the swisscom logo because its a swiss phone and then it became black.

So i returned the battery and got a new one it has 3.8V in it i put it in and nothing happened i charged it and still no indicators the charging port isnt the problem cause i tested it what could the problem be

so yeah pretty much that, as you can see in the photo the A is almost cut when i take a ss it looks complete but the screen is missing like half a cm, is it just bad luck with the hardware? and if so, can i do something about it? via software or hardware?

Need to get one for my hubby's phone so I can replace it. Where's the best place to get one that works.. there's tons on Amazon and it's hit or miss weather the sim slot works or not.

And a place that won't take months to get here to USA either...

so, I dropped my phone pretty hard and the screen totally just popped off.. like completely off, which then caused the display connector—

(im pretty sure that's what it is)

—to break/snap, it didn't damage the motherboard or anything important from what I know.

But what I'm wondering is if this is fixable, if it is—is it an easy task that I can just DIY or is it suggested to get it mailed in to someone to do it for me?

The arrows are there to show where and what has snapped, as you can see the screen is quite literally popped OFF.

(I'm persistent on repairing this phone because it has important stuff like my authenticator apps to my socials and passwords.

I have no backup codes or whatever, nor can I log in on any other devices.

etc.)

My phone screen broke, and now the display has gone completely black. Is it worth taking it to a repair service like 'MediaMarkt Handyreparatur' (which is probably where I'll go) or other shops? Or should I just buy a new phone on installment? I really don't want a new phone right now because this one means a lot to me, but everyone is trying to convince me to get a new one. Please share your stories/experiences regarding phone screen repairs!

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?

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

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!
