My Nexus 5's motherboard got dead . I cant RMA it as i bought it from USA , also the guys at service center are saying they dont even have the motherboard parts yet . Seems like my N5 will just be a paper weight now !
Is there anyway i can send it back to US and claim im warranty there ? My relatives stay there who brought this phone to me in India .

its showing in devices and printers as unspecified device
Sorry, I don't use Facebook or WhatsApp.
Was the phone connected to a charger when it died?
Do you see any lights when you connect the phone to a charger?
Have you tried leaving the charger connected for a couple of hours?
Could be a dead battery too.

Have u tried already?
so my nexus is stock, but unlocked.
i cherged my nexus today an i read on a thread that to calibrate the battery it should be plugged at 100% and then u should turn it off then on and while it boots u should take out the battery. i did it. and now it doesnt boot, not even in fastboot.
some help?
Who said to pull out the battery while booting? It's a dangerous action you may brick your phone. Add I know a lot Chinese users of Nexus S had done this accidentally. Like rebooting without the battery cover when the battery fell off.
And unfortunately I didn't see anyone made their phone back, yet.
Anyway you can search for some threads for saving bricked phone.

Not exactly you can saved it. I find a thread on Chinese forum says use Ubuntu to unbrick a bricked ns. I think the thread actually comes from xda. Try to search here you can find it. Sorry I'm on my phone now can't do a search. All the best.

i know about that, its called adam tool. but that tool is useless if your screen doesnt even light up. i tried the tool and it didnt worked

you cannot fix a dead boot with any software/USB connection to a PC. A bricked/Dead boot can only be fixed by having a certain hardware called JTAG/RIFF. Check this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iejfuW7XcKA
its a bit high in price between 100-150$, usually repair centers have it and charge 50$ for a fix. I suggest taking your nexus to a repair center and specifically tell them that you have a "DEAD BOOT AND NEED IT FIXED BY JTAG/RIFF"

Hey there.
I bought a Surface 2 Pro 128gb last week. Today I encounter a "big" problem: neither the touch or movement of my pen are not recognized anymore.
I've already tried to uninstall the second USB INPUT DEVICE under HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES in the Device Manager and it did not solve.
Did that happen with anyone of you guys??? Any ideas??

Have you tried the refresh?
Also somewhat obvious and I assume you have tried but best to cover anyway, you havent simply had the tip fall out of the pen have you?
Otherwise it might be time for an RMA.

If the digitizer is dead then you should be able to get the device replaced under warranty.

Not only will they replace it under warranty, but when I took my SP1 with a dead digitizer into a Microsoft store they let me pay the $200 difference and get a SP2 as a replacement.

Are you jokeing? O_O My rear camera is dead, but i need my SF for work, so i didn't consider sending it back so far (as i don't really need the cam anyways)...
Anoter problem is: i didn't buy my SF in a MS-store... Do you think i can get this offered at the online store? (as there is no Microsoft store in my country atm...)
Maybe i'll give them a call tomorrow i'll let you guys know what they said

Well, then you have these options
- Fix it yourself (Oh boy)
- Pay for an repair service ( On hard bricked devices the mainboard is broken)
I would say fixing it yourself costs arround 75€. Let someone else fix it maybe 100€, so think about it... Im sorry for you. I bricked my phone last week too.

Btw you remember when i said i was working on Lineage? I can tell you one thing: I booted to android 6! Well, i used others work, but hey! (For everyone reading it, no i am not going to relase it in the near future.)

Yes i had it. I didn't get a replacement as the usb port is not attached to motherboard. So the nokia care just changed my usb port in an hour.. so far so good. N yes it was so irritating that the usb port got loose bcz of no reason. But still the service is good of nokia.. so no complaint so far
Well, I had a N7p that came with issues in the headphone jack, so I gave it for replacement. The 2nd unit came, but after 2 months there was a weird problem. The default cable when plugged one side will not charge whereas if plugged the other side it will charge. Then after service so far new issues, but who knows.
And don't go with this phone if you're too reliant on your WiFi. Too many WiFi bugs in the latest security update.

Where r u from? Actually one of my colleagues are experiencing the same problem. The other side of the port won't charge and we need to twist the cable so we can start charging. I'm afraid to send my phone to the care center since it'll take 3-4 weeks to be repaired and i have no spare phone to use haha.

This is getting some kind of a serious issue. It's really hard to connect the phone in the PC because of this lol. I will go to the seller on weekend and i will ask for some replacement. Thanks~
Yup. It does. Mine took 2 weeks. After receiving it back, port is working well.
I will skip this phone then. Thanks for the tips
btw: i don't have any problem with usb (or SIM slots, or Wifi or BT or GPS or battery drain, or Pie)
