Repair Display Problem Of China Phone

Repair Display Problem Of China Phone-


China Mobile Display Type-
1. Flex system
2. Connector/socket system




Display Problem Come From-
1. Display Damage/Broken/ Broken Microchip area in display
2. Flex and parts damage
3. connector damage on both (pcb and display flex)
4. wrong software.
5. Display line broken from display connection to CPU.
6. CPU internal display section Damage.



1. Display Damage/Broken/Broken Microchip area in display
For this type of problem, have no way without display change (every one know it). so just
change display.
Display Microchip area on display panel-


2. Flex and parts damage
Sometimes we can see with our won eyes where is broken flex line or any parts.
but maximum time we can't see it normally. so we try to repair our display, when we confirm
phone show display problem only for display panel not for any type of pcb defect. can we
confirm it by replacing a good display on pcb. when we 100% confirm problem only on display
panale than we can try to repair it. otherwise first fix other problem.

For this type of problem can you repair flex cable with extra wire, but first need to
calculate flex cable all line with multimeter. some times line cross flex cable 1 side to
another side by in flex. so check them. and you try to change this type or parts, see picture-


here i mark some parts and only one type of display, other display parts find by your self.

though possible, change all parts from another display (which is broken but parts is ok)




3. connector damage on both (pcb and display flex)
Connector/socket system display create problem from there connector. so check simpaley there
all line with multimeter and fix them. though need join them with extra wire from direct pcb
to display. also you can change both socket.



4. wrong software

for wrong flash file or software problem we face white screen problem. so take any step before
do 100% Confirm its not for software problem.

we maximum time face this problem after flash or format. so after flash or format when a dead
phone is power on. we can 90% confirm its for wrong version flash file. so first see your
original flash file version than backup it and next flash phone with this same version
new/another ok file.



5. Display line broken from display connection to CPU.
98% china phone display line going direct cpu and other 2% have display ic. and sometimes
display line broken or break soldering from cpu to pcb middle point. just cpu bad soldering.
so can you try to re-hot cpu with your won risk.
also sometimes pcb internal line broken from cpu to display connection point. so check them
and fix them. (but do it after changing a good cpu though still display not ok)



6. CPU internal display section Damage-
Sometimes phone all section is working ok (without display) but have no display still after
change a good display (soft ok also) now you need to change must be cpu. because many time i see
phone all section work ok but have no display, after changing a good display phone is ok
100%. can anyone question, though its problem from cpu so how phone all section work ok. ans is
- phone all section work ok because only display area damage internally in cpu but all other
section have no problem

How To Make China Phone Flash Cable See here

Many of new member face the problem, how they make a usb to com cable for flash his china phone. with this usb to com cable any one can use free soft for do software operation on his phone.


with a usb to com cable (as like ringtone cable) you can make your own cable for flashing, format, ect for china phone.

i explain here with a Motorola c261 usb ringtone cable, its always do better work for me.

first collect a cable of Motorola c261 usb ringtone cable (available in market) like this-

cable1.jpg

cable2.jpg

in cable middle have intact a box by plastic. in it have a mini pcb. need to open this
mini box for see and work on it. see picture
cable3.jpg

cable3.jpg

cable3.jpg

cable4.jpg

after open it, now we see a mini pcb, its one side have 5 cable, which is connect to pc usb, no need to touch it. its ok.

we work on pcb opposite cable connection, here have 3 cable. 1 tx, 1rx, 1gnd. see pic-

How To Repair Different Faults in Mobile Phones

There r three types of faults in mobile phones :
1. Hardware Faults
2. Software Faults
3. Settings Faults

1. Hardware faults can be repaired by using hardware methods only i.e dry soldering, jumpering or change of SMDs,etc

2. Software faults occur in mobiles if its OS (Operating System) gets corrupted.These faults can be repaired by flashing (reinstalling software). Flashing is possible only if u have flashing boxes. It is not possible to flash a mobile without boxes
These r the common boxes used for flashing -
Nokia : UFS Box, JAF Box, MT Box, Universal Box,etc
Sony Ericsson : SE Tool Box, Cruisor,etc
Motorola : Smart Clip Box, Ultima Box, Infinity Box,etc
Samsung : NS PRO Box, UST PRO Box

3. Settings faults r due to wrong change of settings. We first try to fix the particular setting. If we cannot make out which setting has problem we reset all settings through secret codes or use 'Full Factory Reset' option in the settings menu

These r the most common faults found in mobile phones :

1. Mobile Phone Dead
2. Insert Sim Card Problem
3. Hanging Problem
4. Network Problem
5. Mic Problem
6. Ringer Problem
7. Speaker Problem
8. Vibrator Problem
9. Display Problem
10. Mobile Restart/ Switch Off Automatically Problem
11. Call Cut Off Problem
12. Charging Problem
13. Keypad Problem
14. Sim Lock/ Mobile Lock Mobile
15. Contact Service/ Contact Retailer/ Contact Manufacturer
16. Battery Discharge Problem
17. Gallery Not Opening Problem
18. Camera Problem
19. FM Radio
20. LED Problem
21. Memory Card Problem
22. Bluetooth Problem
How to Repair a Dead Mobile Phone :

If the mobile phone does not switch on, it is called a dead mobile.
It can be due to many reasons
1. Water damage
2. Fall down
3. Not used for a long time ( Mostly battery is down)


(1) Check the Battery. It should show 3.7 volts or as written on the battery.

(2) Check the Battery Connector
Check two things (a) Voltage coming or not (b) shorting
Note : If there is shorting then clean the circuit in ultrasonic cleaner (Remove display, camera, etc before putting it in ultrasonic cleaner )
Clean the circuit with a soft brush and make it dry with a hair dryer or blower.
If the shorting does'nt go it may be due to shorting in an ic,capaicitor or circuit. if shorting is in ic u can check it by attaching a battery then press the on-off switch keep the battery for 10-15 seconds. after that remove the battery and check which ic bacomes hot. Reball or replace that ic. If shorting is in circuit it must be removed by ultrasonic cleaner
Note - The circuit is made of three layers. if there is shorting in the middle layer it cannot be removed
(3) Check the On/Off switch & voltage at on-off switch
Note - Connect a charger. If charging is shown on display then the problem is with the on/off switch or software problem

(4) Try flashing the mobile.

(5) If flashing cannot be done then there is hardware fault we first dry solder the Flash IC & RAM IC and check in the Software. if flashing cannot be done then we dry solder/reball/replace flash ic & RAM ic.After that dry solder/reball/replace Power IC, Network IC, Crystal, CPU

HOW TO REPAIR INSERT SIM CARD PROBLEM

HOW TO REPAIR INSERT SIM CARD PROBLEM

If after inserting the sim card, it shows the message ‘Insert sim card’ or 'insert uim card' or 'offline mode' then it is called sim card problem.

Solution :
(1) Check the Sim Card connector
(2) Clean the Sim Card connector contacts
(3) If it is Soldered Sim Connector then refresh it
with soldering iron
(4) Also check the sim card

    How to find Pinout for Chinese Unknown Model

    Please, follow instruction exactly like described below

    In most cases you need to know Gnd, Rx, Tx pins for flash/unlock operations. What do do if you don't have cable or you have new phone model:

    1. find Gnd pin (it's required step, you can't continue until you will know Gnd pin location)
    2. find Charge pins (it's optional step, just to save your time during future research)
    3. find +Battery pins (it's optional step, just to save your time during future research)
    4. connect cable Gnd to phone Gnd
    5. try to connect cable Rx/Tx wires to all phone contacts one by one (except Gnd, Charge, +Battery pins) and try to read flash from phone
    6. if flash read procedure can start this means that pinout found Ok and you can make other operations
