On the picture, I'm not sure that the little copper dot is the right track.

What else can I do?

I measured power draw using my KM003C and it draws 75mA for a few seconds, then stays at 500uA. Clearly not charging and not booting either, I'd assume this is just the power draw of the port controller.

I opened it back up to check if the battery had latched, but the VBAT pads on the board measure a healthy 3.6V. Is it still possible this new battery is faulty and communication with the battery prevents the phone from working?

USB connection to a computer does absolutely nothing, no enumeration, same power draw.

I tried disconnecting all sorts of peripherals, same exact behavior with display, cameras, buttons disconnected.

I can't help but conclude that I got a random motherboard failure.

I have decided to cut my losses here and sell the remaining pristine components as donor parts.

I also do not have service and my phone isn't showing any notifications, it only vibrates.

My system is up to date with android version 17.

It was comfortable and I liked it very much for a while, but from one time on, I couldn't hold the outer screen at all. Even if it was closed, the inside was always on, and even if the notification came, the inside screen was glowing even though it was closed.

It does not fall or submerge, and if you try to forcefully start the sub-display using a fold switcher, the power will drop.

I tried to take a lot of logs with adb, but apparently the sub-display itself was not physically loaded. In addition, the part that normally reads the opening and closing and gives the angle is not displayed well. So I opened the inside once and tried to put it in again, but the symptoms have not changed....

In this case, will it be cured if I replace the sub-display with a flex cable? Or is it due to the disconnection of the internal flexible cable? For the time being, the battery on the sub-display side has been read, so I wonder if there is any disconnection of the flexible cable on the hinge.

If anyone is familiar with it, please help.

Distinctly unhappy with device.

Problem started after several years of good service when I tried to load Firefox browser.

**Symptoms:**

• Stays completely stable in Fastboot mode.
• When booting into Android, it either loops at the Google logo or reaches the home screen for ~10 seconds before crashing and restarting.(sometimes stays longer but then gets stuck for 10sec before crashing)
• Crashing is triggered by launching apps or high-load tasks.
• The issue has progressed from rare/random to guaranteed every time the phone boots.
• **Crucially:** The crashing happens even when the phone is connected to a wall charger.
• The battery percentage drains gradually to 0% and does not "jump" or drop suddenly from 20% to 0%.

**Steps Taken:**

• I have already tried flashing the official firmware using ADB and the Google Official Tool. The flash was successful, but the bootlooping and crashing persisted.
• Tried multiple chargers and cables.

Is it possible for a 4-year-old battery to cause this "voltage sag" crash even when plugged in and without showing typical "percentage jumping" degradation? Or does this progression point to a motherboard/PMIC failure?

Components are located under shield (1st photo - yellow frame) next to the CS35L41B.

I'm looking for values of components marked 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 on this picture (please click to full size).

I blew those components out with hot air during CS35L41B replacement :-(

I will be very grateful for your help

Planning to change my battery, but it is really necessary to have a good gps afterwards. It has had some rain in the past. Maybe some oxidation but its so hard to open, simply testing is not easy. So at battery exchanging time, it would be very nice to solve gps issues before glueing it back together.

I do not see new gps cables here. Someone proposed a new motherbord, thay seems waisting money if that is not 100% sure the cause. I am an experienced Electronics Engineer, connectors seem my first assumption of the cause. I cannot find other experiences. Just a new cable and cleaning its opposits seems a better approach but its like nobody has done that before?

And (why) are the cables not available?

I recently replaced the back cover of my pixel 4A. The part didn't come with the led and the microphone attached so I ordered a new mic + led. After doing that, people can now hear themselves when I call them. The issue does not happen on bluetooth or with wired headphones.

Please note that I have removed the adhesive protector from the top microphone hole on the new back cover, and tried to align it with the circular mark.

Is there anything I could have forgotten that could be causing this issue?

I found one second hand deal for a full phone but with the screen not turning on. I am suspecting that the screen connector to the motherboard have moved and slightly disconnected. Basically the screen is working but something inside isn't. I haven't found much info on this being an issue on Pixel 7 Pro but I know that it present on other phones.

My questions are:

• Is this also true for 7 Pros?
• What should I ask the seller to do before ordering?
• Is it possible that the screen is fine?

Thank you very much for your time in advance!
