When purchasing a new battery for your phone, remember to pick the one that’s specifically for your phone only. Every phone has its own particular power rating and battery size. Purchase batteries only from your phone’s OEM (original equipment manufacturer) store. If you can’t find one, it’s best to do a little research first to find out which replacement batteries have the highest quality in terms of feedbacks.
Certain phone units have its own way of removing the back cover. Check your phone’s owner’s manual if you don’t know how to remove the back cover.
When charging a new battery, do not interrupt or unplug the phone from the charger and let it complete the charging cycle before its first use.
Go to any cell phone accessory or repair shop and try looking for a replacement screen. Just like batteries, you need to find the exact replacement screen for your particular phone model. Do not modify any aftermarket phone screens to fit yours because it will not work.
After removing the back panel, check if there are any screws holding the motherboard in place and remove it first. Normally, the phone’s motherboard should safely come off too, giving you access to the phone’s screen.
Shake the phone a little (not too hard!) and check if you can hear some parts rattling. If you do, check the connections inside again and tighten anything that’s not held in place firmly.
Keep in mind to buy chargers with same ampere rating as your old one. Do not use chargers with high ampere ratings even if it fits the charging port on your phone. Doing so could cause your good battery to bloat or even explode.
When purchasing a motherboard, remember to buy the same exact model that’s currently installed on your phone to avoid any compatibility issues.
After removing the back panel, check if there are any screws holding the motherboard in place and remove it first. Normally, the phone’s motherboard should safely come off too, giving you access to the phone’s screen.
Shake the phone a little (not too hard!) and check if you can hear some parts rattling. If you do, check the connections inside again and tighten anything that’s not held in place firmly.
If the phone switched itself off when you dropped it, do NOT attempt to switch it on. Doing so will risk your phone getting shorted out.
