Nice to know that you don't have to remove the screen in order to get to the battery. Each smartphone I own will last more than 5 years and while I can keep it pristine with the case and screen protector, replacing the battery is always a challenge since they stopped using the removable back cover. This phone almost has the removable back cover.
Thank you so much, so im here cuz my son, get mad at fortnight, took it out on his phone, the case projected it enough, but then some how dislodge the power button... anyway, he not playing that anymore, i was able to make the repair! So thankful for this ... clear straight instructions too ... tho i didn't have that cool plastic thingy i used a knife "eek" but it went ok
The storage chip is hidden under the shields... I loved the way u explained the name of the processor while showing it. Also loved the repairability score mentioned on the screen
This is just about the best easy to understand and follow up cell phone repair video that I have seen for a long time if ever . my Samsung Galaxy 20 battery overheated swelled up to the point where it push the cover off the back of the phone causing screen burn , I got a battery off eBay except for some reason it became finicky when it comes time to charge it , sometimes it will charge fast yet most of the time it will sit there for hours with minimum charge , I went through all the Hoops replacing cables& Chargers making sure the port is clean and none of that help , option A was to replace the battery a second time option B getting a new phone , I just cut my losses and get a new phone , it would have been a good idea if I have come across this RUclips channel prior to doing whatever I did to that phone . excellent job
Thanks for the no bs clear and easy to fallow video. Looks like all i need is the fingerprint button. I might just be able to get my phone working again.
Hi there! Great educational video, and thanks for sharing! Being my 1st time disassembling a cell phone, I inadvertently removed the screen instead of the back cover. Now the screen doesn't seem to want to seal as well as it did. Should the screen just snap back in place, or is there more to it? My A13 got dropped in water for a few seconds, and now it keeps "overheating", and not sure if I need to clean any components with alcohol? Not seeing any water inside the unit.
The unlocked version I have does support limiting the battery charge to 85%. Still prefer the plastic back panel in case I need to replace the charging port or something else.
Hello I need help! I cut the battery latch/battery cable. Accidently and not sure if I'm going to lose all my photos and data... does that happen ? Is it a easy fix?
If I do this, will this recover all my photos from my old broken A13? I'm having trouble figuring out how I can get all of them back. My old phone doesn't charge or turn on.
It was announced in the end of November and launched in December for At&t in the USA exclusively at first, then other carriers and unlocked ones recently. Retail price is $249.99 USD.
Great idea might try that with my mums phone but whatever happened to the old type phones where you can just remove the backing and just easily take plastic backing off and take the battery out without unclipping it and taking every screw out ect lol 😊
Hi mate, I'm wondering if you can help me? I performed a screen repair on my Samsung A13 and for some reason I could only hear on phone calls afterwards when the call was on loudspeaker which is not very convenient lol Now, yesterday I was on my way out and my phone slipped out of my pocket. Then I got in the taxi and the phone started to turn off and the Samsung logo was there it felt like for about 5 minutes. It switched from the logo to a blank screen to an update of some sort up until I got out and then after it wouldn't switch on at all. I started to open the phone up last night to see if anything was dislodged or anything but I'm certainly no expert in this area lol As I started to open it up with a stanley blade and prying tools it started to turn on and off again. thing connecting the screen to the back wasn't dislodged and that's the only thing I've checked as I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at or what could be causing the issue. Any ideas? Any advice would be massively appreciated particularly as it's my only phone at the moment! Thanks.
I'm honestly not sure it can be many things. From defective screen that is shorting the phone, to the main board not being placed correctly (for the contacts to touch the ear piece speaker contacts for signal) to loose cables or even physical damage to parts on the main board when taking it apart.
So we don't need to heat the back cover to remove the back cover? I understood it has adhesive to secure the cover as well as the tabs around the perimeter
@@PBKreviews thank you so much. Good video. Precise. Damn sure no long drawn out talking. If you were a chick I'd want to Marry you for that fact alone.
So the problem I'm having with my phone is the distance I can move away from my phone while using my Bluetooth connection. My range on my logitech speaker is a really far range. Since I swapped frames after breaking my screen, my range is only like 5 feet then it disconnects or is choppy. What controls the Bluetooth function? Is it on a circuit board or is it controlled by the red and white wires?
Yeah there is a Bluetooth chip on the board. You can always take apart the phone and make sure all the connections are good and put it back together to see if it helps.
@PBKreviews I figured out what was wrong. I've been waiting for my new battery to come in because my current battery is swelling and not maintaining battery life and shuts off. It doesn't help that I ordered the power flex of an A32 by accident which is shorter and I can't keep it on and close the phone. I had to put the protectors back on to seal it up and reconnect the red and white audio cables. Much better now. Thanks for the advice. I'm still going to reconnect everything when the battery comes in
I have links in the description for different tool sets. You can use a pry pic which is listed in the description as well which is basically like a guitar pic, and start from where the sim slot area is since the plastic is thin in that area and easier to push the pry tool in between the back housing and frame of the screen to then run along the edges and pop off the catches.
@@PBKreviews thanks, I attempted with a guitar pic but it wasn't able to get between there, I saw on an article that using a hair dryer to heat the area will help it be easier to pry it open, is that a good idea?
Hey, I have a problem with my phone. My screen is black but it actually works. I just can't see it. I suspect it's the display that got disconnected from the motherboard, can you help me?
Trying to take out the screw the usb board I missed up the flex cable for the softboard😢 what should I do?how do I fix that😅😔!?any info will be appreciated
Can i use this to fix water damage??? My mom accidentally put her phone in water and i wanna fix it so bad at all costs. I feel fo bad for her . Please help me
yeah, you can take the phone apart, disconnect the battery cable, dry out any liquid inside, use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion around chips or connectors, and then power on the phone to see if it will work. If not, you would need to diagnose to see which part has gone bad, between the screen, battery, charger port or motherboard. Hopefully not the motherboard since at that point your out of luck.
Hey, my mom got to phone for me and my brother, and he broke pretty badly, idk if u can fix it, but I don't know where u live, cuz over here, it gonna be impossible to find someone can fix that phone, so plz respond back. If u can't well we gotta find someone
You can use an old credit card also or something similar. Also start where the sim tray area is where the plastic is thinner and easier to get a pry tool in between the frame and housing.
It's convenient when your aiming to turn your screen on by pushing down on the power button, it automatically unlocks it as well. I find it useful since I hate most of the in display readers which are slower and sluggish but I preferred the fingerprint readers on the front bellow the screen on the older motorola z2 force.
@@PBKreviews There was never anything wrong with keeping them on the back, Im going to pick the phone up if Im doing more than checking the time, which if I do on a phone with a sensor on the power button, I'll just check the time repeatedly because Im like that, the phone locks, so I have to use the pattern
If ur phone drop in a pond of water and uh put it in rice but it's not showing nth on the when uh Tek it out the rice but it's vibrating can it be repair ?!
You need to take it apart, disconnect the battery and dry out any liquid or moisture inside. Then use a brush like a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion around chips or connectors. If you keep trying to power it on like that, you can short the board beyond repair.
