You cut the cable?!
No idea. Why can't you just take it back to a repair centre so someone with more experience can fix it properly for you?

I am a samsung tech and I order the screen as a whole.
Only bits you save are the mainboard,back,battery and battery cover.
everything else is replaced.
if you find anything else on ebay its a fake part and will void your warranty if anything else goes wrong.
So if you do take it to a service centre they will charge you for a £90 part and labour
why it doesnt work when i connect the cable manually ???? hell why all of samsung galaxy parts r hard to deal with !!! , hard to replace the screen , hard to fix anything
its not my problem when i want to replace the screen and its glued to everything , its idiot
Samsungs are very easy to fix if you have official parts. Phone companies are doing this to cut down the blackmarket of phone parts.

Think if that cheap fake part drawes more power then the standard and damages the mainboard why is its samsunga job to fix it?

Home Button Problem is solved
I solved my problem and got home buttom working as my friend solve my problem he just opened my phone and make separate it all and fixed button with his technique . its has water that stoped my home button and he cleaned it
more thing exact price of Samsung LCD (with sensors and home button) Is 4500/- its by Samsung officially and samsung care people says its of 5100 , one say its of 6300 and so on
its has one cable that connects home and other two buttons and that is easily available , for replacement u need some special trained person to replace ur sensors and ur home buttom nothing big
I would say: Try to wipe everything, somehow get into download mode (from running system/usb jig), and flash the last offical stock full (PIT+BOOT+ROM+MODEM) firmware available. I hope this will also reformat your phone back to RFS, otherwise you'll have a problem.
Then bring the phone to a service center. I think this is a hardware problem, or did you do something special before?
Please wait until someone verifies this.
@Sandeep......as u know you have to give it to service centre for permanent fix....however until that you can try this app called Home Button by black hound from playstore....it will solve ur problem temporarily

thnks for ur rply's but my ph is out of warranty as warranty has expired 20 days ago (my bad luck) now see wht happens . i went to care but they said it comes with display not alone and its of 5100/- and i don't want to spend on this phone i will buy another one
My sister's menu and back button was also damaged (dunno why). It costs alot since the whole touch panel needs to be replaced. So i just installed button saviour from the play store and it saved her phone.

i am not responsible for any damage
hi i replaced the digitizer following a guide i found online
step by step and being really careful.
when i finish the phone wouldn't turn on you can feel it vibrates once but that's all.
y tried going to the bootloader but it wont work.
i search online and found a couple of posting on forum anout people having the same exact issue, but without answer.
y re-opened to verify if i missed something, 3 times, but everything was fine except to the very last time i broke the ribbon for the track pad.
when i plug it to my laptop my charging light comes on for 3 sec then goes off and back on for 3 sec. and remains on a loop .
could it be that it needs to be reset some how?
i was thinking maybe i fried the board with my static, but i doubt it.
please help.
thanks in advance
I can suggest that you need to make 100% sure the ribbon cable for the slider is not dinged or has the black coating worn off. Other than that I suggest that you make sure the connection from the LCD (not the digitizer) didn't come loose. Those Jawbone connectors can be a pain to get in correctly. Also even though you got the connectors in right you need to make sure you didnt accidentally nick or fold the ribbon.
Also make sure the socket connector on the main board is on correctly. It may seem on but there should be a tactile snap when it goes on properly. The connector I am talking about here is the one that you pull off before lifting off the slide flex cable to take off the mother board.
One last thing on that connector...make certain none of pins got bent either.
I have done many different repairs of phones so those are the things I would look for. I havent repaired 4g slide yet bit have done other HTC phones and the similarities of the 4g slide motherboard and the Sensation's are crazy. It really is mostly a sensation with a keyboard and smaller screen.

yeah i know which one you re talking about, i'm going to take it apart again now. the only think i see wrong is,when i tried to separate the lcd from the the casing i might over heated it with the dryer, or i slide a credit card in to separate it and the flex got a little torn but i don't see any cracks or damage on the ribbon, but if that was the case the phone would turn on and just don't display anything, but is not booting up at all.
thanks for your reply tho. i appreciate it
nope, i just re-checked everything, and is the same thing. is someone want to buy itas is pm me.
Ok guys i have helped a lot of you out there but i need help this time.
Few days ago i accidently dropped my phone down but nothing happened that time.
Next day everything was fine until the day after when my phone suddenly switched off.i switched it on but after few minutes it became off again.then i tried to switch it on but nothing happened.
i tried removing battery and charging again but nothing happened.
but one strange thing was my battery was getting hot even when the phone was off.
i thought smth is wrong with battery and i bought a new one but nothing happened.
no download mode no recovery nothing....i mean nothing..........
So know i dont know whats wrong and its not even in warranty as i dont have bill and other things.
i went to a local shop but they said give it to us a we will find the problem but i am scared that there may be only minute problem for which they will charge like rs.500 to rs.1500 and may still not fix it.so i dont trust them.
so pls. help by telling me what could have happened and has this happened to anyone else??
and yeah i have not flashed clockwork mod.....i had chocobread 3.2........
maybe the battery leaked inside the phone and thats why it wouldnt on
thats why the battery was hot due to the chemical reactions taking place inside the battery.
try putting the new battery in and charging it for like 10 min and then on and see if it works.
try shaking the phone also to see if any part inside the phone is lose or broken
last option is give it for repair
PS: if u do know a lot about ur phone hardware try opening it and see whats wrong inside even though i got no idea what will happen coz ive never tried
best of luck
may be the screens cable broken..
It looks something that samsung care can fix...be ready to shell out some cash...
I would advise against unofficial service, atleast for smartphones...

Well its really f***in trouble man...
I'm guessing that your phones hardware are down, because of the impact... maybe the display flexible or the power supply that's going bad and that's why you're phone can't turned on again..
Battery shouldn't be problem, coz it charge and getting hot...
My advise is just go and repair it to the Samsung Service Center..
Just my little opinion..

Thanks guys but how much expense can I expect like from just damaged power supply to damaged chips?
I don't want to spend much as I am looking to buy s3 very soon.

My friend which is a phone technician told me that your problem is the IC Power (power supply)..
Just replace it with the new one ...
I'll guest its about 5 to 10 USD..
Sent from my Galaxy Fit
It should not cost too much. While i doubt that it would have anything to do with the battery (as ive dropped my phone several times over the past one yr ) id agree that you take it to the samsung service ctr. It may cost a little, but the fit is worth every penny

It seems the Power IC, however check the pins that connect battery with motherboard.
Hey guys,
last night I decided to replace the back cover of my Xperia Z3. I've ordered an original one and got to work. First problem is that it won't stick - the adhesive sucks. Shall I heat it up with a hair dryer or something? I don't want to damage anything inside the phone itself. And here we go to the second problem - after installing the new back cover the vibrations stopped working. I've performed a full wipe, reinstalled another ROM (wiped System, Data, Dalvik and so on) but it still won't work. Since it's a hardware problem, which part shall I check and then replace? The buzzer itself or maybe some connections?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?

Z3 shares same flex cable for the power,volume buttons, lcd and vibration so u need to check the flex cable.
I recently replaced mine due to stupid service center people refused to entertain my warranty.
If you not so sure, u can take help from professionals.
And you can get the adhesive online somewhere if you damaged the supplied adhesive with the back panel.
Also be very careful while putting that adeshive first put on the panel and stick the panel to phone back.
Gud luck..

Thanks, I just ordered the flex cable yesterday after some reading and I will be replacing it today or tomorrow. My warranty was refused due to me replacing the back panel on my own :good: Thumbs up for all the warranty services. Soon we won't be able to change wallpapers without getting our warranty void.

It was brand new and everything else works.
EDIT: now the upper part of the screen won't work... Today is just one of those days... I changed the flex cables back and forth - same issue. No vibrations and no upper screen reaction. FML.

Can u check with old flex if the screen is functioning if yes then your new cable must be faulty.
I had no such issues, and since you yourself opened the device it should not have any issue with motherboard

I switched between flex cables and the problems persists. I've been sitting and trying to fix this with various ROMs, cables, buzzers and other things for 8 hours now. I'm gonna reassemble the phone as carefully as possible, flash stock ROM and send it to Sony again. Maybe this time I'll get lucky and they won't see that it's been opened... I don't feel like spending 300$ on fixing it on my own.

Were you ever able to fix this? I had the same exact problem as you, replaced the LCD/digitizer on my Z3 (D6603) and then re-installed everything and now my vibrate motor doesn't work. I bought a new flex cable/with vibrator motor, installed the new one, but the same problem occurs. Vibrate doesn't work at all.

Unfortunately, along with the vibrations, also my screen stopped working. I gave it to the warranty service, where they told me it's my fault, cause the damage is mechanical (how? I have no clue, cause there was not a single scratch on the phone) and they proposed a repair that would cost 110% of the phone's market value. I simply sold it for parts on eBay and bought an SGS6 Edge. No more Sony for me - their support sucks ape balls.

I can confirm the fuse fixed my buzzer.
My fuse had blown open somehow so I replaced it from a donor board and now it vibrates as it should.
Oh it's just above the clip that holds the board in place to the left of the large cable j-tag connector for the on/off vol camera and buzzer/vibratorView attachment 4720024
Yes that's the Z3 dual but is the same for the D6603
And he sold his phone by parts at last
Lol ?.. ......
I enjoyed this a lot
Hahahahaha
I left my Nexus 5 in for repair a week ago to a local phone shop, it had the faulty power button problem which was causing a bootloop.
Fast forward, they tried replacing the button with another but said the new button did not work,
They now say that its likely the motherboard and have ordered one for the phone ?
Does this sound like a genuine explanation or have they possibly damaged the motherboard by a botched job at soldering ?
Cheers
I would suggest getting it back and doing a visual inspection because a new motherboard is expensive.
9 days later , I Phone the repair shop today and they said my phone cannot be fixed , worse still they don't have it but its "on the way" from a courier someplace.
Very poor service that they took it in the first place saying "no problem , we can fix that in a few hours"
The phone was still working when i left it in but now im afraid when it comes that it will be totally unusable , my suspicion is that they may have messed up the soldering.
The guy has apologized over the phone but said i need a new phone and offered me another phone (they dont carry nexus) at a discount. but I'm still fuming.
Not sure what to do.
Not sure if they did screw it up or whether there is a problem in addition to the power button.
You may as well wait until you get the phone back Definitely check the imei if possible to make sure the company returns the correct phone. Examine it closely for any other potential damage/changes from the original.

Thanks for that, any particular things i should look for ? Im thinking of taking it into another place for a second opinion, the phone was working intermittently before i left it in , meaning i was getting a few days of good use than maybe an hour or 2 of constant rebooting that was definitely the power button .
Also do you think i should ask for any compensation from the company ? its hard to know.
I would definitely look for stray solder, damaged ribbon cables, damaged motherboard connectors, and broken clips. If the repair shop did something to brick it, there may be no signs of physical damage.
Rather than send it out again, you could look for a used N5 with a smashed screen and working motherboard. This way, you could just swap out the motherboards and you'll have a few spare internal parts.

Thanks again, I had a look online at the teardown video and it seems fairly straightforward to swap out parts (i previously had changed the battery myself) .
I just don't understand why they could not fix it, especially when he said they will put a new motherboard in it. surely that would have sorted it . just dosent make sense, perhaps they just cant be bothered ordering a new part.
A new motherboard? That should completely solve any problems since nothing on the motherboard can be replaced by a cell shop, even lg, unless the shop damaged something on the lcd.
Yes he mentioned changing the motherboard for a new one, you dont think even the power button can be replaced on it ?
Sorry about my confusing post.
Yes, the button can be replaced, but that is about it. There are only three solder points for the power button I believe. The wifi chip, emmc, and sim reader cannot be replaced.
Hopefully, it will not cost too much for the replacement motherboard.
