[@offgrid2010]

Excellent tutorial. I managed to shove my micro-sd card into the slot but without the tray. Should I be able to access the card slot if i disassemble the phone?

[@PBKreviews]

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.

[@offgrid2010]

@@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.

[@offgrid2010]

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.

[@anonimoanonimo9157]

hi, what do you think about the quality of the construction materials (inside and outside) of this A11?

[@PBKreviews]

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.

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.

[@joeyhanson5322]

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

Классное видео!И познавательно было,Вы молодец!

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you, glad it was informative :)

[@ALStauff]

So my a11 is a couple years old. I think the adhesive has worn down so when I dropped it, the back part popped off on the side with the volume and power buttons. I cannot seem to press it back on, it's like something is stuck right behind where the volume buttons are located. Not sure what I should do, I'm a bit scared I will break my phone completely if I do anything, what should I do?

[@PBKreviews]

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.

[@martinenglish6641]

So as a repair tech, the phone cost me 135.99, and assuming I can get parts, the time in labor would be more than a new comparable cell. Even if it was just a battery or screen. A throwaway, buy a new cell. And when I say throwaway, recycle it, do not let it go to a landfill!

[@jeanbean1390]

How did you remove the Sim tray? And where did you get the guitar pick to go around the housing?

[@PBKreviews]

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

[@DavidJimenez-wv7gh]

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

[@BirdManPhil]

You should never use heat on a lithium ion battery. Buy some 99% anhydrous alcohol and an eye dropper. Use the eye dropper to SOAK underneath the battery while applying force with a razerblade from underneath. The alcohol is not conductive nor corrosive and will disolve the adhesive. The pressure you apply with the blade will pop the battery up with ease and you can simply pull it the rest of the way with your bare hand. I do this multiple times a day try it.

[@PBKreviews]

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

[@Xmarie.5]

@@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.

[@darrenbillie4952]

I replaced a LCD and once I snap the back cover the phone stops working. I take off the cover and phone functions properly. What seems to be the problem?

[@PBKreviews]

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?

Could you please let me know what happens if I accidentally broke off 1 of those springy contact clips. That tell the phone the back is on. Lol I'm sorry I don't know proper Phone language. I have a a11 that is water damaged the back is off but I believe I snapped off 1 of the 6 metal springy clips. The 3rd from the left of the 6 above the cameras. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I can't afford to buy a new phone or pay someone to fix it so any help would be great

[@PBKreviews]

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.

[@joshuagarnes1311]

Using that metal spatula on the logic board can damage the board easily... Both static electricity and prying against the small filters around the terminals can cause irreparable damage. Plastic tools work best....

[@PBKreviews]

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.

[@cfh4201969]

So just to replace broken outer glass you have go through all that??

[@PBKreviews]

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.

The two cables you see in the video being disconnected @1:45 would be the part of the LCD flex cable.

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.

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.
