Seems broken, usually when you have this with LCD's in laptops it's the ribbon cable between the mobo and LCD. With a tablet it's probably something similar, no ribbon cable but probably a sandwich connector of sorts between the panel and mobo. I'd say you need to return it...

it only happens every now and then is it still likely to be what you said? and I'm waiting for primes to be better before RMAing it unless it becomes unuseable

Hey guys,
I've got a water damaged S2.
did all of the usual, washed it in isopropanol etc
The phone accepts charge and displays the yellow triangle and the high temperature prompt but it wont turn on. The places that get scorchingly hot are circled below:

I've tried replacing the USB flex cable to no avail.
there was some slight charring on all 3 of the chips, and I've tried cleaning them all. The one on the far right is the USB flex cable connection. after that is the connection to something on the screen. and the far left is a mainboard heatsink with a chip on the underside that had some corrosion which I cleaned up.
My question is, is it worthwhile reflowing the joints where they have become a little black. I've got some liquid solder, flux and a heat gun and wanted some advice. I may aswell try it seeing as the motherboards going in the bin anyway but wanted some ideas on how to go about doing it.
Thanks very much in advance!
Mubs
try cleaning and total drying it again wait for some time an see..if its gone then its a waste....good luck
Cheers for the reply fella,
Been in hospital the last fortnight so have not been able to do much with this.
Unfortunately the wash and wait didn't work.
Does anybody have any further ideas?
Cheers.

[Q] Purple-ish Capacitive Buttons? Get it replaced?

Hey guys I received my HTC One earlier today and I noticed a couple of things, one, there are small gaps between the polycarbonate and the speaker grill and my capacitive buttons seem to have a purple-ish hue to them. it almost seems as if they are not completely lighting up. Has anyone else had this issue?
If not should I go ahead and get it replaced?
The only reason I ask is because when I went to the AT&T store, the display model had the same issue.
By the way, they look sort of like this, except more purple:

Mine have somewhat of a hue.
They look like this:

[Q] Replaced usb flex cable, bad reception

I recently replaced by usb flex cable because the usb port wasn't charging the phone properly anymore (2nd time I might add).I noticed that my reception was incredibly poor after this so I tried to put the old one back in, but now the reception isn't any better in a lot of placed, though I think its back to LTE speeds for data when its available whereas before it wasn't but it many places I get no reception at all or very poor reception.
I may have damaged a little cable/plugin on the flex port, but i'm not sure what it is. Can anyone identify this? (picture)

maybe that part powers the antenna?
I think you might have accidently unplugged something somewhere else on the phone when you replaced the board. Or you ruined the actual lil wire that attaches to the receptacle in the pic you posted. If you swap boards shown in the pic and it doesn't fix problem it's something else.

Severe Drop/Fixed my device

Was testing out my Desire X's camera and my butter finger'ness came back and it slipped, smashed the ground. The screen looks fine, it just smashed open st the bottom. The battery doesn't really fit in properly, but if you push it in hard it fits in properly, but the device doesn't turn on.
There is also this two clips, does it have anything to do with proving battery power?

My question is, can this device still be recoverable as its not as bad. And I had paid money for it. Cheapest way to fix this? I've tried pushing everything into place but it just flings out.
When connecting the device to the PC it has a blinking led at the top which is red. Which blinks on and off.
Edit - the device turns on just fine oo freaking strong device.
Yeah, should be fixable. I think you'll need this as replacement and hopefully it will work fine then. Didn't test myself, I only had to replace screen assembly some time ago, but this part is easy to replace, provided that you've got the right screw driver available.

Buyer beware - Don't get this particular Aukey cable

I really have nothing against Aukey, I've been using their products for years but this was surprising and disappointing to me. Last night i plugged my phone in and it wouldn't charge. Upon inspecting the USB tip came off while sitting inside my charger. It wasn't due to mishandling as the end that goes into the charger stays there dormant in the wall outlet and I only plug the opposite end in to my phone when I need to so it was strange to see it break off that way. I honestly think it's part of a bad batch but I will opt for a cable with a better quality connector end going forward. It was within my return period so no problems. Other than that the cable works just fine. I will still buy from Aukey, just not this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087QK2LB2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Concerning, I've had the same happen from Aukey.
I went for some no name cable instead afterward.

Yeah these work just fine with no issues. I think the tips were poorly constructed so cheap is not always best.
good to know, thanks!
