ZTE(中兴) Model ZTE-T U960s Need help ASAP!
ZTE Model: ZTE-T U960s (China mainland mobile phone company)
Unable to switch on after being dropped on the floor yesterday. When I tried to switch on the phone, the starting screen animation plays then after a while it turn itself off. I'm a Design & Technology student so I decided to take the chance to disassemble the mobile phone to at least attempt to locate the damage caused, because I'm currently in China and not in the United Kingdom so if I wanted to take the phone to a repair shop, in my knowledge they are most likely will remove the components in the phone and sell them to the highest bidder and return the phone with an excuse like "I can't fix it". Additionally, the circuit board seen to be covered in quite a lot of dirt but only been used for around a year.
So far the phone has been partly disassembled and what comes my attention is this tiny piece of copper tape;

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I believe that the phone must have either been somewhat disassembled after the factory or during the assembling process the copper tape was used to improperly fix some kind of errors they've made.
My current sensible theory is that one part of the important control component had been damaged by the cause of that drop on the floor.

Hello guys!
After a drop at a party, the phone's glass was cracked, but the digitizer, the touchscreen, is also affected. For example, the phone in cause was set to request a PIN CODE at startup. Pressing anywhere on the screen just means inputting random numbers. I can press on 6, it goes with 12386 (random example). I can press anywhere, it can come #*123 (again, random). I think you guys get the idea.
I've changed a bad glass on a Galaxy Ace Plus before. Just bought it and then went to a mobile service and they replaced the glass.
I'm not sure what now. I read that Gionee GN700W has OGS (On Glass Screen?). Someone told me that this means the replacement must be done with the display also. The display on the phone in discussion is intact. No problems with the colors, no dead pixels, nothing like that.
I don't think I'm allowed to post a link to the site where I found the glass, but the name is "Digitizer Touch Screen Glass FOR Gionee GN700W"; Plus, the picture is this:

So can you tell me if buying this and going to a gsm service will suffice?
This would cost me somewhere around 35$ (service + the product). Taking the phone to the authorized service would cost me ~70$, so that's the problem now.
what is this and what is this for?
bought this phone 3 days ago. i accidentally pressed the rubber stopper

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As long as the phone works fine with all the functions, nothing has been damaged.
the arrow u r pointing is cell antenna ...... and the connector which is seen removed might b display connector
for ur safety dont remove any sticker or patches .... better not to take any chances
HI !
I tried downloading tf_recovery.bin to sdcard and flashing but it did not work and I worse, I think my camera is bricked ...
LED amber is not blinking, it is permanent on and the camera does not move.
Same observation without sd card.
I'm trying to find an original recovery image but I'm struggling. I opened a post on the Xiaomi forum and GitHub, I hope someone can help me.
I disassembled the camera.
Now, I'd like to solder a serial port to get serial access and view (hopefully) where boot blocks.
The problem is that I do not know where are the pads TX0, RX0 and GND.
Can somebody help me please ?

hi
problem solved here ;

This happens if you are trying to set up your personal security system without the help of a professional security company. In my opinion is really important to approach the professionals, especially if we talk about the security company, last year my house was robbed by a couple of jerks, and the police said that happened because of the bad setting of the security system that I installed by myself, after this case I approached the professional security company https://wyesecuritysolutions.co.uk/ they installed cameras and detectors, and one month ago police arrived very fast because security system detected invaders very early.
Hello, I have an unusual problem Well, I once wrote here on the forum whether other users of this phone Asus Rog Phone 5 Do they have a hard time with the volume buttons because in my copy they were stuck when pressed? Today I was cleaning the phone and I noticed a crack on the back cover from the button side Oddly enough, the buttons have been working perfectly for some time, they click I do not know when it could have been damaged because the device has never fallen down I suspect that the damage could have happened spontaneously due to the badly glued housing, the stresses that arose as a result could have contributed to the malfunction of the volume buttons Can you advertise it or has anyone heard of a similar case?

Could it burst by itself?
The only thing that would generally cause the phone to crack on it's own like that is a swollen battery. Hopefully that is not the case with your device.
Nothing is swollen, everything works, even the buttons click and normally recede The warranty is unlikely to cover it, unless they believe it, it makes sense to advertise?
not sure but I had the rog phone 2 and it cracked near the hole on the back and I never dropped it I now have the rog phone 5 and it cracked kind of like that one mine is in a case I'm wondering if it has something to do with heat
This is the orignal cracked screen

And this is the new replacement screen
So finally my phone fell down and cracked the screen. Figured I should go and replace it straight away.
Mi Mix 3 isn't officially available in my country (Malaysia), so have to go with aftermarket "original" parts as claimed by the repairer.
Replaced, and it worked...... for less than a day. the screen turned black soon after.
But strange thing is, if I hold the power button and reboot the phone, the MI logo came up, indicating the screen works - but not in MIUI. Fastboot screen, recovery are working.
What can I do? Should I flash it from China ROM to Global and mayyyyybe it will work? Ugh so annoying
Check for loose or damaged connectors.
Are the battery and its connection good?
Try reflashing to same firmware version.
It's possible the mobo was damaged by the impact or G loading it experienced. BGA chipsets are intolerant of board flexing and a high impact can fracture solder joints including the hidden BGA ones.
