REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

Before Proceeding to dismantle any mobile Phone Handset make sure to ask your costumer about the warranty period of the said handset. Attempting to open it, may lose service warranty, just unless you are working in any authorized service center which is you are the one who decides.
Dismantling mobile handset needs extra care to avoid further damaged.
Scratches and breakage also takes place if unhanding carefully. On the internet you can easily find disassembly guide just type the following keywords example
"brand + model number + Disassembly guides" you may also find it in Youtube for video guides.
Even Professionals needs extra care how to dismantle mobile handset. Various brands have deffirent types of packaging types. Opening Tools also varies according what they suggest including torx screw number and other opening kits.
keep your time and don't rush in, always keep in mind that you are handling fragile object.
Wearing white cotton  hand gloves is a good advice for begineers and even Pros, to avoid risk of Electro Static Discharge
(ESD) There are components like CPU and Memory Chips which is can be easily damaged by Human Interference, a ground strap is also required as advice.
Make your working table free of dust and dirt's and other objects which is not part of disassembling tools, to keep a place where all part have to put when opening operation is done.
Here's an example dis-assembling of Nokia handset looks like.

Latest released of mobile Phone products doesn't have guides available like shown above. Pros and masters defends only their instincts to tear it down, with out any guides available.

Tools Used in this Guide

*Dental Pick
*Metal Spudger
*Paper Clip
*Phillips #00 Screwdriver
*Spudger

Step 1 — Battery

*Remove the two Phillips #00 screws from the dock-connector end of the iPhone.
Step 2
*There is a rubber gasket between the silver front bezel and black display assembly. A bit of force is required in this step to separate the iPhone's display assembly.
*Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.

Step 3
*The display assembly is still connected to the iPhone by several cables, so don't try to remove it entirely just yet.
*Rotate the display assembly up until it is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

Step 4
*Continue to hold the display assembly with one hand, and use your other hand and a spudger to disconnect the black ribbon cable labeled "1."

Step 5
*Rotate the display assembly up until it is roughly vertical. This will allow easier access for disconnecting the remaining cables.
*Use a spudger to disconnect the black ribbon cable labeled "2."

Step 6
*Use a spudger to flip up the white plastic tab holding the remaining ribbon cable in place. The white tab will rotate up 90 degrees, releasing the ribbon cable.
* Slide the black ribbon cable out of its connector, and remove the display assembly from the iPhone.

Step 7
*Insert your SIM eject tool or a paper clip into the hole next to the headphone jack.
*Press down on the tool until the SIM card tray pops out.
*Grasp the SIM card tray and slide it out of the iPhone.

Step 8
*Use a spudger to disconnect the ribbon cable labeled "4."

Step 9
*Use a spudger to disconnect the ribbon cable labeled "5."

Step 10
*Use a spudger to disconnect the ribbon cable labeled "6."

Step 11
*Carefully peel up the small sticker labeled "Do not remove."

Step 12
*Remove the following 8 screws:
oFive 2.3 mm Phillips #00 screws with partial threads securing the logic board to the rear panel.
oTwo 2.3 mm Phillips #00 screws with full threads securing the logic board and camera.
oOne 2.9 mm Phillips #00 screw from beneath the "Do not remove" sticker.

Step 13
*Use a spudger to gently pry the camera up and out of its housing in the rear panel. The camera cannot be removed entirely yet because it's connected to the bottom of the logic board.

Step 14
*Use a spudger to gently pry up the end of the logic board closest to the dock connector.
*If the board won't lift up, double check to make sure all the screws securing the logic board have been removed.

Step 15
*Slide the logic board towards the dock connector and out of the iPhone.

Step 16
*Use a spudger to pry the battery up from the rear panel. The battery is attached with an adhesive strip around the perimeter of the battery. To prevent the battery from bending during the removal process, we recommend against using just the plastic pull-tab .

Step 17 — Headphone Jack
*Remove the two Phillips #00 screws securing the on/off switch to the front bezel.

Step 18
*Carefully peel up the orange ribbon cable from the rear panel.

Step 19
*Remove the following 4 screws:
oThree 1.8 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the headphone jack and GPS antenna to the rear panel.
oOne 3.8 mm Phillips #00 screw in the plastic loop near the headphone jack.
Step 20
*Remove the four Phillips #00 screws securing the volume and vibrate buttons.

Step 21
*Lift the volume button circuitry away from the side of the iPhone, and carefully peel up the orange ribbon cable from the rear panel

Step 22
*Carefully lift the headphone jack assembly out of the iPhone.

Step 23 — GPS Antenna
*Remove the single Phillips #00 screw securing the black plastic spacer.

Step 24
*Use a spudger to pry up the black plastic antenna housing from the rear panel.
*Lift the black plastic antenna housing out of the iPhone.

Step 25 — Rear Panel
*Remove the on/off switch button from the iPhone.

Step 26
*Remove the vibrate button from the iPhone.

Step 27
*Remove the two Phillips #00 screws securing the vibrator to the rear panel.
*Lift the vibrator up and out of the iPhone.

Step 28
*Remove the following 3 screws:
oTwo 1.5 mm Phillips #00 screws, one on either side of the dock connector.
o One 2.4 mm Phillips #00 screw near the ribbon cable labeled "4."

Step 29
*Lift the dock connector assembly up and out of the iPhone.

Step 30
*The rear panel and attached front bezel remain.

iPhone 3GS Teardown
Step 1
*The original iPhone was very difficult to open, but we expect the 3GS (like the 3G) to be quite serviceable. There are still two visible screws on the bottom of the phone, which is a good sign for easy opening.
*Remove the two bottom screws with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Step 2
*A small suction cup is your friend. A large suction cup may also be a fun toy.
*There are seven numbered connectors on the 3GS, up from six on the 3G. Connector number seven is in the lower right corner, just above the dock connector.



Step 3
*There are three cables holding the LCD and digitizer to the rest of the logic board. Disconnecting them is as easy as 1-2-3.
1: LCD panel

2: Digitizer

3: Ear speaker

Step 4
*Here's the two halves.
*All the chips on the logic board are hidden beneath two large EMI shields. We'll have those removed in just a bit.

Step 5
*Just like the iPhone 3G, the LCD is pretty easy to replace. After removing 7 screws, the LCD simply lifts out.
*On the iPhone 3G, we see a lot more cracked digitizers than cracked LCDs. Replacing the digitizer is a little more work, and requires breaking out a heat gun or hair dryer.



Step 6
*Here's the fabled "Do not remove" sticker. It didn't stop us last year, and it's certainly not going to stop us this year.

Step 7
*Removing the logic board. Like the 3G, there is a single large PCB with all components.

Step 8
*The main logic board. There's a lot packed in here. Here's a high-res image of this shot.
*The Apple-logo chip is the primary Samsung ARM processor.
*The 16 GB of Toshiba flash are now on the front of the board, just below the Samsung ARM.

Step 9
*The other side of the logic board. You can see the battery contact pads in the lower right corner. Apple was again kind enough to not solder the battery to the logic board.
*Here's a high-res image of this shot.

Step 10
*Apple promises improved battery life with the 3GS. The battery is listed as 3.7V and 4.51 Whr. This comes out to 1219 mAh, compared to 1150 mAh on the 3G. That's only a 6% increase.


Step 11
*Video recording is a long-overdue feature of the iPhone 3GS. The 3GS records video at 640x480 resolution and 30 fps.
*The video recording quality appears acceptable, although not exceptional. You can see a video (taken using another iPhone 3GS) of us opening the phone.

Step 12
*The 3GS offers Voice Control. We're not sure yet why this feature couldn't be added via software to earlier iPhones. Perhaps the voice recognition requires a better microphone than in earlier iPhones or a lot of processing power, or maybe Apple just wanted to differentiate the 3GS.

*According to Richard Lai, the "Chinese (Cantonese) voice control works, but took a while to work out the magic words as there is no guide released yet (not out in Hong Kong until early July)." He also tested the "Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese (Taiwanese), although the latter didn't work as well since [he doesn't] do the accent well."

Step 13
*Here's all the parts. We'll continue to perform further analysis.

ASUS ZENFONE 2 DISPLAY ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT



Asus Zenfone 2 Display Assembly Replacement
The original screen has the following code stamped on the back of the display: "TL055VDXP34-00".
The first replacement display assembly (did not work) had the following code: "TLD55VVXP31-00".
The second replacement assembly (did work) had the following code: "TL055VDXP34-00".
On that basis, it is suggested  that the first unit I received was an earlier model, and was the incorrect part. I assume that the replacement display assembly must be model TL055VDXP34-00
Remove back cover, sim card(s), and memory card.
NOTE: Remember to remove the one next to the camera (this might be covered by a small sticker).
This cover should remove quite easily - if you can't lift it, count those screws! There should be 14. Again - check that one by the camera that is somewhat hidden.
NOTE These screws are actually the only screws which hold the phone together. Once these are out and the cover is up, the speaker unit will fall away from the phone.
Panel removal – removal of internals
To remove the plastic panel pry it up at one end, and use a sharp blade to separate the double sided tape between the battery and the plastic panel.
NOTE: remove the double sided tape completely when I put it back together. It doesn't seem to really be necessary.
Remove the antenna cable, vibrate motor, and four other connections.
The three above the battery pop up away from the phone.
To disconnect the flat cable at the bottom of the battery you need to first remove the yellow plastic sticker covering it. Next lift the white tab to release the cable, then gently pull the cable out towards the base of the phone.
There are two types of different adhesives holding in the battery that I have encountered. One is double-sided foam tape (easy to remove). The other is some kind of self-amalgamating tape (hard to remove). Please be VERY cautious when removing the battery.
Ii is recommended heating the front side of the screen prior to completing this step (the battery tape is fixed behind the back of the screen).
The adhesive holding down the battery is located close to the side where the antennas are located (right side when looking down). To remove the battery, heat up the battery with a hair-dryer, then gently pull up away from the phone on the opposite site (left side).
NOTE: Be gentle with the small metal tabs on the edge of the battery; these are quite flimsy and will bend if used to force the battery. I removed the double sided tape completely here too, and did not replace it.
To remove the display itself you'll need to apply heat. I had a heat gun - this makes it a lot easier  but you could use a hair drier if you don't have a heat gun. For the sake of comparison - the heat gun took around 30 seconds to heat the display completely, which would take 3-5 minutes with a hair drier.
Once the adhesive behind the screen has been heated up, work your way around the edges of the screen with an opening pick or thin rigid guitar pick. The display will begin to separate from the housing.
Once mostly free, carefully lift the display cable through the hole in the top of the phone body.
Again; you're replacing this cable completely, so don't worry too much about it.
Removal of speaker grill
separate the speaker grill from the original display, clean the adhesive off, and attach it for the new screen. it easier to attach the grill to the actual phone body (rather than the display assembly)
Because of the condition of the adhesive for the screen assembly,  replace the adhesive completely. You could skip this step, but  it is worth cleaning it up.
To remove the existing adhesive  just use the sharp razor blade and worked  peeling it all off.
NOTE: This would be a good opportunity to 'test fit' the new screen (without adhesive) so you can see where the cables need to go. There is one which goes up behind the screen and through the middle of the phone, and another which goes through the top hole. The top one is a strange shape, and needs to go through sideways first.
To attach a new display
3M double sided adhesive tape to go around the edge of the new screen assembly.
NOTE: The replacement adhesive I used was 3M double sided adhesive tape (2mm) - the tape can be purchased  was around from a mobile phone repair supplies store. The tape was too wide and not thick enough, so I doubled it over.
It fit perfectly once I did that. Unless you can find thicker double sided tape which is closer to the original adhesive, I would recommend this approach.
Once the adhesive is all laid out on the phone, put the screen assembly on. start from the top and slide the top cable through the hole, then slowly worked my way down to the bottom.
NOTE: don't press too hard on the adhesive until you are sure that both cables are through to the back, and that the screen is sitting well in the body.
Display cable attach
Looking at the phone from the back, remove the adhesive backing from the display cable and carefully position the cable between the four black markers.
After the new screen is fixed in, start the re-assembly. This is effectively the same as disassembly, but in reverse. There were only a couple of parts that make note of:
a) Keep an eye on the display cable that comes in through the top. It got caught on the double sided tape, and needed to be pulled through.
b) You will need to use a little bit of force to mount the processor unit between the four plastic clips. Be careful when doing this.
c)  completely remove the double sided tape from under the battery and under the plastic case.
d) If you lose any of the yellow plastic cable stickers, you can borrow a piece from your old display assembly.
