I agree, 100% I miss the days a back when you could easily replace your battery without being a fucking medical surgeon the pull everything out in order to get to the stupid battery just to replace it. And this is why people are kind of dumb and they'll go out and purchase a $1,000 phone. The funny thing is, there are cheaper options and not everybody needs the best of the best of the best phone. But everyone believes they need the best phone.

No it’s definitely because then you won’t be able to actually “shut off” the phone this way the battery is always connected

Did you mean a 12

@@NathanTheOG2011 no it was a joke lol

On 2041 or 2040?

Thank you for actually explaining the steps- talking to the viewer. I literally bypassed a dozen videos that were posted entirely with annoying background music-no dialog whatsoever. Its like watching a magic trick. Good style- best of luck !

You're welcome :)

Quality is not bad for the price of the device. It is sturdy but not as heavy duty as premium devices etc. Repairs should be fairly easy on it.

👌 nice

Me to

Same here

Thanks. yes you would have better access (even though not the best) to try and push it out. But be careful not to damage or break the sim reader pins.

@@PBKreviews That gives me a better idea of whether to risk bricking it or not. Thank you so much for your reply. Do you know if there is anyway to forward my number to another phone without the sim card in place? Spectrum didn't help.

I managed to define my issue much better with Spectrum so they upped me a level and told me all I have to do is insert the broken phone sim into my other phone on the same account.. Fortunately they were compatible and I am back to my old number on the new phone. No need to forward my calls! At his point I'll probably buy the kit in your link and also take it to a local shop to see what they say. Thank you again. This was a bit of a nightmare.

It might be the metal bracket which holds the power button to the side. You would probably have to take off the back housing to re seat it properly and push it back onto the phone.

You use the sim eject tool provided in the box of the phone or can order one online. Links to tools are in description.

a simple paper clip can do the job, the sim tray has a small hole to ejec it, on the other hand you can use a old credit car or something like that, but first you have to lift the cover a little bit because its tight, I used a cutter then the card, don't let anything stop you

you're welcome

the wire cable? that is a smartphone coaxial cable. The flat wires are called flex cables.

Most likely the screen has a crack somewhere that you cant see that is preventing it from working. Would need a new screen.

Hi, those are antenna contacts which touch the antenna flex on the back housing to make a connection. If you broke one, its possible you may have reception issues with either voice, or data or wifi. Its possible you wont have issues also since there are multiple antenna to gain signal from different directions n ways so won't be able to tell until you test it out.

@@PBKreviews thank you, I'm a little releived to hear that, well I will be sure to let you know how it goes with it if I get it back working. When it comes to fixing that, is soldering the only possible way? Or could I possibly glue it?..

There might be a short somewhere on the phone where something is pushing against a metal part of the frame that should not be or the connector is being pressed down and causing an issue if there isn't a good connection. Did you replace the screen by itself or you replaced a screen with pre attached frame combo?

You might need to look for a stock z2 play firmware and flash it with RSDlite but not sure exactly how it needs to be done, you would need to read or watch tutorials on it

You might need to replace the fingerprint sensor

@@PBKreviews this happened to me. I accidentally ripped the fingerprint sensor cord. I bought a new cord and replaced it but it says fingerprint sensor not working. What else could be wrong?

nope

Yep, I would rather get a new phone in most cases but a lot of people would prefer to fix it rather then spend an extra $30-40 if they don't have to.

@@PBKreviews It all comes down to how much is your time worth? As I get older my time becomes more precious.

@@martinenglish6641 yup

@@martinenglish6641 well, work is work, if you rather sit around doing nothing than doing a simple job that may not get you much then that's fine, but I rather make money during all my work time, it's not like moving a regrigerator upstairs to get like 5 bucks and destroying your health, so if you are not like a super scientist who spent like 50 years studying your field I don't think your time is that precious, but that's just my way of thinking.

The two cables you see in the video being disconnected @1:45 would be the part of the LCD flex cable. They are both part of the same flex cable which connect the board to the screen, as well as the sub board on bottom. So when replacing the screen, you would need to remove the battery as well and disconnect the flex cable from the bottom sub board also.

👍

You can use a hair dryer

yeah this video is fairly old, isopropyl alcohol is used now a days to make it easier plus most batteries come with adhesive pull pouches now so it's not even necessary

not sure which part you are referring to but check mobilesentrix.com

@@PBKreviews the black tape on lcd flex covered by battery

Thank you

most likely not. the camera connector would have to be the same and the software on the phone would have to read the camera which most likely would not happen.

@@PBKreviews or can i replace 8mp A11 camera with 13mp from samsung brand ? Will it work

Yes, you can search galaxy a11 fingerprint sensor on ebay and you will see listings for it.

@@PBKreviews thank u

@@PBKreviews can i have it replaced at the repair store instead of ordering

Hi, the memory card slot is the same as your sim tray, there is a designated location on the sim tray you place your memory card in (onboard storage is different from the memory card and onboard storage is not removable).

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@PBKreviews I made a very big mistake by not finding instructions on how to install the simm and micro-sd. As a result of my impatience my micro-sd card is down inside without the tray and the SIMM is not installed.

You would need to take it apart, disconnect the battery cable, dry out any water or moisture, then brush off any corrosion on any chips or connectors with a small brush and re assemble the phone to see if it will work.

@@PBKreviewsMy phones flashlight is flashing when I turn it on as well. I tried to see if my father could fix it and he said he thinks that it's possible I got water in it but it's also possible my phone is getting too old. But I knew that I hadn't gotten too much water in it because it wasn't like I dropped it in a puddle. it was a few drops. So I'll probably just replace my phone but thanks for the help.

If you search for galaxy a11 housing on ebay you will see listings for some.

Yes using plastic is best but forget about shorting. These aren't from 20 years ago, electronics now arnt that susceptible to being damaged from static. I can't believe people still say that. I have been doing this since 2003 and worked on thousands of phones. Not once did anything ever short. If your sitting on a static rug and rubbing your self around it while your doing this then yes maybe you might and this is again might short something but if you have the battery disconnected you shouldn't have any issues. But ya metal tools can damage the parts more easily than plastic tools but sometimes plastic tools can actually damage the parts when they are not strong or thin enough and break off resistors around connectors etc.

not sure, what is wrong with your volume? have you tried the side buttons to raise the volume and it doesn't work or what?

It's okay now.

yea, since the battery would need to be removed as well as the charger port board and screen flex cable would need to be disconnected from the main board, so everything would need to be taken apart. If your replacing just the screen without midframe, you would heat up the front of the screen and pry it off the midframe after you took everything apart as shown in the video. Then you would get your new screen and apply it with new adhesive to the midframe making sure you run your screen cable back through the midframe and then re-assemble the phone. If you're replacing a screen pre attached with a midframe already (which would be easier), then after taking everything off the old screen assembly you would just re-assemble the parts onto the new screen assembly, not having to pry the old screen off the midframe and having to re-apply the new screen with adhesive back onto the frame. Hope this helps.

@@PBKreviews well that sucks. Hate to go through all that for this crappy phone. Ty for the vid. At least I know what I'm in for.

@@cfh4201969 No problem. You can always buy another A11 and just swap the motherboard and sell the other one for parts

@@PBKreviews maybe. But I think it would be cheaper to buy a $15 screen and an hours time. Do you have a vid for the Galaxy S9? I smashed the glass and lcd screen on that one thats why I bought this A11. Just temporary until I fix the S9. But the replacement screens are around $200

@@cfh4201969 Not sure where you found it for $15 but the cheapest I can see is around $31-$32. But ya still cheaper to replace the screen instead of the phone, all depends on how you feel about taking it apart etc. I don't have a video for the S9 sorry. Also S9 screens are anywhere from $80-$140 from what I can see on ebay.

oh sorry to hear. Its always best to take your time on the battery and be gentle. Apply heat as needed throughout the process to it makes it easier to pry off and you need to try not to warp or bend it too much to damage it.

nice

Thanks!

@@PBKreviews please help i followed the advice given on your video because i had my sim card stuck inside but somehow the phone no longer wants to turn on PLEASE HELP.

Might need a new sub board/charger port or battery.

lol nice

It's explained in the video how to do it, there is no point in prying off a working screen to damage it so I just explain what you do. Once the phone is taken apart as the video shows, all that is left is for you to pry the screen off the frame. New screens usually come with adhesive so all you do is get your new screen once you pry off your old one and apply it back to the frame and re-assemble the phone.

Did you possibly damage the cable for it?

@@PBKreviews i just pulled it off like u did

@@jessecully4673 hmm not sure. Have you tried making sure its connected back properly? Also try turning the device off and on see if it works.

Did u figure out how to fix?

Its possible if you dropped the phone that the screen got a hairline crack somewhere that you can't see and its preventing it from working, or possible the cable has gotten disconnected from a drop. Also possible the phone is just frozen, try holding down the volume down key and power button at the same time for 20 seconds and reboot the phone and see if it works.

@@PBKreviews thanks to take the time to help me tomorrow I'm going to take the phone to someone who open it and disconnect the battery if doesn't work I have to buy another one but thanks a lot

@@karmichaelneira2448 you're welcome

It was better when you can desenergizer the phone take away the battery for 30 seconds and go back again but anyway thanks i will tell you what's going on with my phone after
