Galaxy A71: Do I need my screen replaced if I have white vertical lines on screen?

Wed, 29 May 2024 09:09:52 -0700

Do I need to get my screen replaced if I have white vertical lines on my screen and they kept on growing in numbers. it was just one vertical line but now i have no idea, it covers 1/6 of my screen. also, it's at the middle and I can't use the fingerprint sensor coz it won't read my fingerprint. Ive dropped it many times and there are cracks on my screen, I'm wondering if the white lines will still appear if I replace the screen on my own.

Galaxy A71: Samsung Galaxy A70 not properly charging after screen replacement

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 05:38:41 -0700

Hello,

I recently changed a Samsung Galaxy A70 (model unknown on iFixit) screen. After my repair, the phone wasn’t properly charging (the cable was not detected every time, you had to press on the screen in order to charge, etc…).

I’ve noticed two pads under the charge board and I am wondering if the charge wouldn’t be affected by them ? Some screens are sold with these pads while they are missing on others.

Did someone already noticed a charging problem on this phone after opening it ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Galaxy A71: a71 battery charging issue

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 12:00:21 -0700

my galaxy A71 did that too after i dropped it many times the speaker broke it would only work if i bend it in some way and after that the battery stopped charging so the phone is living of of a powerbank at the moment. it also wont go on booting without the battery actually working if i dont but a piece of paper on the sub board connector on the main board to put pressure on the connector

also before all this the phones multitouch started to only work landscape mode and for like 5 min after leaving landscape mode. (this was caused by the phone getting thrown across the room)

so i am wondering if this battery issue (which is the only important thing for me) could be solved by just replacing the battery because the board gets power like i am writing this on the phone rn but the battery itself isnt getting charged...

at this point i dont wven know how its still working it is like of those iphone 6 devices which survived dropping from a plane

My Samsung Galaxy A70(yes I did not find a70 in the list) had problems with its power button, so I looked up how I could start it without it. I followed this guide but pressed the volume up key instead of down. Now it’s stuck like this: https://imgur.com/a/hZ31MZx

Galaxy A71: Battery not holding charge (5G)

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 15:11:17 -0700

What it says on the tin. I got my phone only a year ago and just this past week I've noticed it's been going from 100-10% within just 6 or so hours of being on standby.

Does this sound like an issue with the charging board or FPC, or do we think it's just the battery itself?

I've honestly had no other issues with it, so I'm not keen to replace the whole thing. I'll just use it until it doesn't turn on anymore, haha.

Galaxy A71: Phone displays battery charging, won't turn on

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 06:04:09 -0700

My carrier is AT&T business plan. I got behind on my payments and after using it all day without issue, my phone showed that there was no network connection around 5pm. I didn't know why at the time so I went through the power prompts to restart. The phone turned off and has never powered up again. I immediately paid my balance and fixed my ATT account with other phones on the plan working fine, and my sim works fine in other phones.

When the phone is completely dead, I plug it in and the screen shows the normal charge initiation, shows normal charging vs super charging and will count up all the way up to 100%. If I plug it in at any point other than 0%, it will not acknowledge that it is being charged, will display nothing. Pushing the power button, holding it down, tapping the power button multiple times, holding it down with the vol + or vol - combo, "massaging" the screen, the phone does not respond, doesn't vibrate, doesn't display the Samsung text or anything else...it's is a dead brick at any %. I've done every troubleshooting tip with the exception of taking it apart.

The only other thing to mention, whether it's relevant, is that the phone had fallen in the toilet months ago, was dried out and working normally with the only issue being since then, 98% of the time, it wouldn't start a charge unless powered off. Once charging, I could turn it on again, do whatever with it while plugged it and it would continue charging fine. If I unplugged and plugged in again within a few minutes, it would usually continue the charge but 5mins + I would have to shut off, plug in, wait for the charge to initiate, power back on.

Any chance this phone can be saved??? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The power port/plug-in on A71 does not connect properly. I have tried several cables, but the phone doesn’t have that little snap/click anymore and the cable may or not be connected for charging. It also seems to have become progressively worse. Can this connector plug in be replaced?

Galaxy A71: The device cannot be charged

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:44:45 -0700

The device cannot be charged by just any charger, not even its original charger; it requires a powerful 30W charger. However, if left charging for an extended period, the battery may discharge and its level may drop.
