Hello there, beginner here, my current phone note 5 motherboard was dead, (checked by phone shop). I'm learning to fix my phone by myself. But I found out there's little different between logic board model and its price.
I would like to have senior advice about the effect, will it affect the phone function to make calls if I insist to buy the cheap logic board to use back the phone?
Appreciate for any replies and helps!
Thank You!

ok, to make it easier to explain, I made a video. Sorry for talking so low.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQBEARaw9E
I recorded that with my G1, the "broken" G1 is my brothers.
We have a serious problem, we cannot exchange it, we bought it last week and since we bought it has been having problems. We were going to take it to the store and then yesterday morning, it was like that, it was working "fine" at night. The problem is that we took it to the store, and the "dot" behind the battery is red, which "means" it got wet... but it didn't, I'm not going to lie, it didn't get wet my brother has taken care of that phone more than anything, it still has all the plastic protectors, even if the phone was acting really weird...
Ok ok, to the point. It doesn't do anything, as you saw in the video, when you press the power button the buttons flash until I depress it, and then they just stay on. The same happens when I try going into recovery, or bootloader modes, nothing... I decided to leave it like that for a few hours, nothing.
Either the device is bricked, the screen is damaged, or the whole device is screwed.... What do you guys think??
Thanks in advance.

It could very well be all 3. Did you guys get this from T-Mobile?
The dot in the battery compartment of my phone is red (well, orange I supposed) and my phone has never been wet and is working fine. I'd argue the case if I were you.

Dave

Yes we did get it directly from a (official) T-Mobile store (not a 3rd party retailer).. we went there and they complained about the phone "getting wet"... the phone looks perfect and never gotten wet.

I am going to argue, I already started arguing by calling tmobile directly but they *****ed about why didnt i take the phone within the 14-day warranty if it was giving me issues and waited for this to happen....... they couldn't do anything, whatever, I'm going to try to take this further because, just like you, I can assure you my phone hasn't gotten wet.
Can you help me an send me a picture of your phone? So I could have some proof, my own phone's dot is white, and some other phones from friends/family are also white...
Thanks!
I've heard stories of that indicator turning red/pink when people have left the phone in the bathroom while showering... supposedly a lot of steam can turn it red.

Yeah they told me about this, and I actually *****ed my brother about this but he doesn't do this, I do, and my phone is fine. Anyways, he told me he just leaves the phone charging in the room while he showers...
So I had to get a new one by claiming the insurance ($130 deductible.....) there was no win for me here...... the only thing was that I was able to keep the damaged phone.
I called HTC to try and figure out how much it would be to fix it. The lady that answered the phone said the symptoms were like those of a bad motherboard, and she said it'd cost me around $475 to fix it, wait, what??.....
So, know, idk what to do with this crap. I might try to repair it.
Thanks anyways guys!

Ah, right. Tell you what... since I'm volunteering my time to trace the circuit and my phone works perfectly, there is nothing for me to gain out of this, so I'm not the one to be asking for money.
If you can't afford it yourself, might be a community thing, but hold off for a while, there is someone else I've been communicating with privately who may be sending a bricked board, if it works out, then I won't need yours.
Ill volunteer a bricked board

Find a broken G1 on eBay or CG and try repairing it yourself. Might run you under $100 to do this and it's probably a great learning experience...not to mention you could end up with another working G1.

Thanks, and yeah I was already looking into one, found one locally with a broken screen this guy might be giving it to me for like 30 bucks so that'd be great. I have the tools and everything, Ive fixed phones, including iPhones, and also HW unlock on iPhones when there was that moment were SW unlock was not possible and I did like 2 HW unlocks... ok too much talk
Thanks anyways to every one, If I can't fix this I'd definately consider sending the MB to lbcoder
My ebay board just arrive! i hope to fix my phone tomorrow.
Shoulda just swap the stickers and got the warranty replacement.
hey guys, I have a really quick Q for u. Is it possible to only replace the Digitizer/Glas on the One? They sell em for really cheap and because my screen still works fine after droping it (hell even the Digitizer still works!) I hoped that i can just replace it. The search doesn't show any result when I type in things like Display Digitizer etc. Did anyone attempted this? I saw some people replacing just the Glass on a Galaxy S4 on YouTube but there are only a few really poor videos on YouTube about the HTC One.

No, don't bother trying. The digitiser/glass is fused/bonded to the LCD and is very, very difficult to separate, so you'd just be wasting your time. Buy the whole LCD/digitiser assembly, and you'll be good

But I saw People heating up the screen and then tearing them apart with help from guitar picks! I want to a cheap solution to replacing it.

They're probably torn apart for good.. Try if you wanna, but it isn't recommended. There was an article on the xda portal about this a few weeks ago. You should read that to know about all the risks involved..

Dude just send it in for repair ... if you try and repair it it's going to cost you a fortune every time you attempt to repair a part you'll destroy 3 others.
T-mobile has a Refurb you can buy for $312 cash

it's not a matter of Faith it's just facts .. have you ever separated a digitizer from glass or an lcd ? it's an 11 on a scale of 10 in difficulty
if you tried it 100 times you would get maybe one working one.
and you have one chance to get it right .. good luck
I went to a cellphone repair center yesterday to get an iPhone's digitizer replaced, and I asked one of the guys who worked there if they fixed HTC One's too, and he said "no those phones are on our blacklist, you try to fix one thing you'll end up breaking something else." I think it's best to no try to open up this device. I know how you feel though, you really want to try to fix it on your own, but I can tell you from experience, some devices aren't meant to come apart, let alone put back together properly.
Hey folks, longtime lurker, first time poster. I want to say a quick thanks to everyone here for all the work you folks do, and all of the super informative posts here that have helped me throughout the years.
My question is this, I just recently got an AT&T Note 3 from a friend, and wanted to flash CM to it, but I soon learned that the bootloader is locked and this would not be possible for me. I know development for this (now 3ish year old) phone is probably long dead, but I hope somebody will stumble upon my post, and be kind enough to help me with an idea I'm working out in my head. I have a friend who has a tmobile note 3 that has a busted screen, and was wondering, if I either a) swap my screen into it, or b) swap the tmobile motherboard into my phone, would I be able to then flash Cyanogenmod, considering that I would have the tmobile motherboard in my phone, or just the working t mobile version in general? In theory, I would assume even the motherboard swap would work, though it would be annoying to have to do it.
What do you think, can I do this, should I attempt to?
Yes, the T-Mobile board should fit on the n900a.
The n900t does not have a locked bootloader so cm can be used.
Thanks for the reply, I may just give that a try then. Best case scenario, it'll be successful, and I'll have CM 13 on my device... worst case, I fail, and end up needing to replace the phone (which I should probably do eventually anyhow) this should be fun.

It would be much easier for you to replace the cracked screen on your buddy's phone than replacing your motherboard with his.
Good evening friends!
I'm on the hunt for a new smartphone and found something interesting in eBay.
Please give me your opinion on if I should bid on this device, or not!
It's the 128GB 6GB RAM variant in quite good condition.
The seller states that
Android 10 installation couldn't be completed.
The installation process stops after a short time
Device reboots by itself

Also that
WIFI and mobile data are not available

Device is not unlocked

I've read that on one hand that it's hardware/soldering issue,
and on the other hand that it might be just a software/firmware issue.
I've lots of experience in flashing all kinds of phones, including the Xiaomi Note 7 Pro (probably) of a friend.
So given I can unlock the bootloader and something can be done in software, I'm pretty sure I could do it.
Also I probably could open the device up and try to fix the mainboard.
Has anyone ever tried reflowing the mainboard?
Otherwise maybe I could replace the mainboard, if financially viable.
So please tell me if I should bid on it, and how much you reckon it might be worth!
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!
My advice is to get a working phone. Instead of one where u have to repair. A working mi 8 is not expensive nowadays
HI, I have 2 MTCE Headunits with broken mainboards,... The original screws of the OEM Radio seemed to be a bit too long for mounting the Android Head unit,.. so it scratched the mainboard a little bit and made a short,.... so i need 2 new Mainboards,.. does anyone know a seller ?
thank you

Depends on factory, what was MCU.
I can probably repair or buy your old units to develop on
I dont know what mcu it was.. maybe mtce-mx
I want to use the radio, so i need a repair or new mainboard
Quite possibly repairable. Try a local repairer?
No one wants to try it out...

Even with schematics? You're welcome to send them to me in NZ. From what I can see, a supply rail will be down.
