Friends, I am not able to connect to my lappy as I researched it on internet thousand times for a solution and I failed it.
Reviewing at service center the technician says its a motherboard problem as one of my friend also in MMX in hyd he says if motherboard problem then charging will also not take as presently it takes charging. I am very much confused as the place I belong to sambalpur Orissa and here the mmx guys seems to be lack of knowledge to me or may be i must be wrong. Though changing a motherboard is likely to get a new cellphone. Is there any other solution please guide me as i need it very urgently so that once I connect I will flash stock ROM as currently on custom ROMs my Bluetooth doesn't work, USB etc.
Please help.

Hey everyone, I'm new here , and I thought I'd start with a quick question.
My HTC Universal is a bit handicapped (bought it off a friend who said it was broken, apparently the USB plug terminals weren't fully soldered, but I couldn't connect all of them and it will only charge through USB and nothing else.)
If someone has an HTC schematic or a high-res image of the motherboard, I could possibly try to revive USB transfer capabilities (but that area is a bit damaged from not having a small enough soldering iron ), *OR*, if there is a way to reflash from within the OS using a SD card, that would be great.
Hope someone knows the answer to this, thanks!
Edit: And if it's of any possibility, how much would a replacement board be? Enough to satisfy a 100% working USB connection?
No ideas? If someone can at least give me a schematic or a high-res pictures of both sides of the board then I could possibly fix the USB to 100% functionality.
If you check the WIKI for the Universal you shoul be able to find a link for downloading the Service Manual. It shows the total un-assembly-re-assembly process step by step. You may also find instructions for SD flashing there as well. I have never flashed my Uni by SD, but I have don other phones like that. Most of the HTC's are capable. There is even info in the Service manual telling you what to have on the SD and wht to name the files from proper use. Give it a search.
Thanks! I have the manual already so I'll give it a look over. I wasn't entirely sure and I thought I wouldn't see anything but I'll look more in-depth .
Just a side note, does anyone know where I can get a replacement motherboard and how much it will be? Just curious, as that option might be available if it isn't too expensive.
Hi - I have a tablet with Android originally installed and my repairer says I need my 'Printed Circuit Board' needs to be replaced and that it will cost me $300 (AUD) because there was a custom ROM on the tablet. I can't afford that, so am going to try to get it working myself. Can installing a custom ROM REALLY physically damage the circuit board? Seems unlikely to me (though i'm not an electrician or anything).
Thanks!
What device did you have?
Nah, installing a custom rom won't physically damage hardware. I don't think so.

No that's not possible beside overclocking / over voltage. They are just trying the standard scamming tactic nowadays. It's like you buy a computer and someone tells you, you are not allowed to install linux.
Go to the court if you want to be an example.
In MTK based devices there is a hidden setting to increase the current to camera/flash, this way of customizing can actually cause some damage to the components.
Thanks for the great responses - so helpful. I have an Xperia z2 tablet. Am posting here because I couldn't get any help on the tablet specific forum.
So it sounds like my tablet will be able to be salvaged. I'll just have to figure out how once I get it back.
Thanks again for the help.
Quick update - I received the tablet back from the repairer and not only is it working completely fine, they've even reinstalled the original Sony branded Android. And this was after I asked for it to be sent back to me unrepaired after I refused to pay for repairs. So strange.
Hi everyone. I'm not sure If I posted this question in the right place. If not please let me know.
So I'm trying to fix a SONY SBH-80 Bluetooth headset. It is not charging and It wont start on. My guess is that the battery is dead. I researched to find any datasheet of it and/or which type of battery it uses, but I could not find . All I got is its manual and it mentions nothing of such problem or how to replace the battery.
Could anybody help?
Also If you experienced something like this before, could you please share it?
Thanks
I'm sorry, but XDA is for Android and Windows mobile devices. Your issue doesn't fall into that category.
I would suggest you take it back to where you bought it from, or to get in touch with Sony customer service. If it is an old pair of headphones (battery probably fried as you say), maybe it's time to look into investing in a new pair.
I know this is an android forum but i would just like to know if anyone could assist me with this flight mode issue as I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.
I have a Nokia Lumia 830 that keeps going to flight mode, If you try put flight mode off it just keeps flashing between flightmode and mobile and it wont get a signal. The phone is fully functional aside from this, on wifi aside from phone calls the phone is fine with internet etc.
I have tried the nokia recovery tool, I have loaded older software, I have tried the latest software and I have tried loading the windows 10 developers software with the windows insider app all doing exactly the same thing just going to flightmode. I took the phone to a nokia repair centre and was told that the flight mode is part of the LCD and the whole screen would have to be replaced as the phone has water damage. I dont remember getting water damage but I wasnt gona dispute this as I was really drunk one night so theres a good possibility that this is true. I however dont buy that because a month after I bought the phone I had the same problem and I sent it in under warranty and they fixed the problem by replacing half of the phone speakers, cover, LCD and I dont know what else. I stay in south africa and vodacom only have one repair centre for the entire country so I presume they just replace parts till they find the problem and charge whatever they want.
I am no phone expert but I dont see how flightmode can be part of the hardware, surely its just software that disables specific mobile functions... anyway I would just like to know if there is anyway that I could disable the flightmode function in the manufacturers settings or load completely different software like android. Its just such a waste of a decent phone, when its working, and I just cant justify spending half the phones value on a new LCD.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone.
my device is actually a G play mini but we all know it's just a rebranded honor 4c ( in my case CHC U23)
my problem is wifi/bluetooth don't "see" any networks. However, mobile 3g works fine
Don't know when problem started because the phone was handed down to me.
I've done a lot of research and I will post my findings.
- This seems to be a common problem with Honor 4C/GPlaymini/P8lite. I've tried any all all stock and custom roms from all the models above and problem persists so I'm possitive it's hardware related.
- From searching youtube the solution seems to be to replace or "reball" the wifi IC. my first finding is that the part number is:
HI1101 ( I had to apply hot air to a metal shield in order to remove it and see that) it's under the shield 'between' the Kirin620 and the headphone jack. This is the same IC chip as p8 lite
- a motherboard replacement costs about the same as a new phone so not worth it IMO however the wifi chip is easily findable and reasonably cheap on ebay or alixpress and I would give it a try. (I'm a beginner but wanting to learn)
My question if anyone has any experience is:
1) In youtube videos the wifi/bluetooth switch was greyed out and then the fix was to replace IC. Since I could use the switch but phone just didn't "see" any networks (even next to the router) does that mean the problem lies elsewhere and I'm just risking to brick the phone?
2) assuming wifi IC is fine, my other idea is the RF cable/ribbon/connection is damaged (which makes sense) but I can't for the life of me find where such internal cable is either by myself or in dissasemble videos (of which there are very few for our 4C) But interestingly on ali and ebay such a part exists (won't post links but honor 4c wifi connector is easy to find)
Does anyone know where such a connection is located or if it's just a mistake from the sellers? Are there boards that don't have those white rf cables to connect internal external antennas? Where is even RF antenna on the 4C?
I will update this if I attempt repairs but it will take a long time for any parts to reach my country.
Any other input on the wifi/bluetooth issues is appreciated. Also perhaps share your story if you have a similar problem. Specially if you solved it.
Sorry if I'm not posting in the right place, but this is as close as I could get for my not-so-popular model.

Hei Alderus,
Did you manage to solve the problem?
I have the same issue with the WIFI/BT (they're grey).
Please let me know if you have any updates.
Thanks!
fixed your issue?

woops. I should have posted long time ago. Anyways the update is I solved my problem (or it got solved by itself)
I had a business trip during summer, I still didn't had the replacement modem. Anyway, I remember it was blazingly hot and kept the phone in my pocket and then... I was very surprised to see wifi was detecting networks when back in the hotel!
I was running Lineage android 6.0. Didn't do any hardware or software changes, just went to a different city by plane it was hot and it started to work! there's is the funny catch that it never seems to work on the wifi I originally used it in back in my city(I moved from there but went back and found that I could see the network but it never really connected)
Other than that wifi has been working normally in any other home/office I've been to. I have no idea what really happened, but definitely I will never buy another huawei phone.
sorry if this doesn't help anyone in the same boat...
