Touch functionality still works and the image seems fine behind the broken glass parts.

Now I've asked some online stores in my country about parts, and they said that I would need to replace the whole front (LCD+Digitizer+Front Frame) and offers me a package deal. To me this seems like more than I would need?

I figured it's only the front glass which is broken and needs to be replaced?

So how can I be sure of exactly what parts needs to be replaced? What parts would I need considering that the touch and image is seemingly fine?

The result is that my screen was no longer displaying correctly.

However, I managed to make it work again. It seems to be a contact problem.

To recover the use of the screen, I did not have to put pressure on the broken part of the connector where the pins are visible (it was ineffective), but rather on the black part of the ribbon cable just before the connector. It also works if I put pressure on the golden part below the black part.

I tweaked it using a tweezer, but now I would like to know how to maintain the pressure permanently in order to reassemble my smartphone?

I do not have very sophisticated equipment. I tried with duct tape but it did not hold it with enough pressure. I thought of glue, would it do the trick? Below the golden part is the battery, so electronic components should not be damaged.

I have already made a huge mistake once, I prefer to ask your opinion on the best way to solve my problem rather than make a mistake twice.

Am in the UK so not sure if this model is used elsewhere. Have seen the guide for HTC One Teardown and think this handset would be as difficult to get in to!

Problem is a novice one but I need a solution. The micro SIM has been put in to the SIM slot without the tray. Simple human error except now stuck fast and using the pin device thing for SIM ejection doesnt move it.

Brand new phone! Any ideas on what to do apart from send to repairs .Tried needle/pin so far. Is it easy to damage the components doing this?

Many Thanks

I was wondering if there is a way to boot up my phone through my pc. I've been searching around and it seems to be fairly simple for most Android phones, however, since HTC One's block your access to the battery, I cannot use any of the tips others give me.

I do not have warranty anymore, so I'm not afraid of doing the bigger things. It is also rooted.

Right now, the phone is still on and I wake it up by using lock widgets and using the volume button. I am however still scared about not being able to charge it on time to keep it alive.

Thanks in advance!

First some info on the status of the phone:

My HTC One Mini is stuck in fastboot mode loop. Trying to boot to recovery or normal will just take me to fastboot, while none of the options in bootloader work (they mostly just reboot my HTC back into fastboot).

The phone is recognized in fastboot most of the time, and I was able to get the OEM code to unlock the bootloader, and while I could run the unlock code:

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... OKAY [ 0.154s]

writing 'unlocktoken'... INFOunlock token check successfully

OKAY [ 0.009s]

finished. total time: 0.164s

Nothing happens on the phone screen. Most fastboot commands dont bring any success. E. g. erase cache fails or trying to update things fails, too.

My Win10 PC recognizes the device as "My HTC" when in fastboot USB. I’ve tried the rubber band fix, I’ve tried the FUU fix, and I’ve tried “fastboot oem rebootRUU”, which returns:

INFO[ERR] Cmd18 polling status timed out, MCI_STATUS: 0x4C2000

INFO[ERR] sdcc_command: sdcc_poll_status error, rc: 2

Here's my fastboot getvar all:

I noticed that when I pressed it while my smartphone was turned on, it was instantly switched off and it was then complicated to restart it (I have to unclip the tab attached to the battery, wait several minutes, etc.).

I find it difficult to close my smartphone in its shell because of this switch that forces me to re-disassemble the smartphone every time. This happens even if the smartphone was turned off before, then I can not turn it on.

Does anyone know what this component is and what is it for, please?

As you can see, there is several of it around the board but this is the only one which sutdown my phone.

This is not beautiful to see.

As a result, when the screen is supposed to turn on, there appears noisy multicolored pixels.

I do not want to give up and I considered buying a motherboard to replace it.

However, do you think the problem is indeed related to this connector?

I mean, certainly the plastic is broken but how is it so important for the screen to work? The pins are still present and therefore the contacts should be made pretty much correctly. Can a slightly damaged pin be the cause of this weird screen?

All opinions are welcome. After many attempts at repair, I do not know which direction to take.

Just got the volume flex cable broken while I was replacing the battery. I had done the replacement things multiple times with multiple device but never got into trouble with such an issue where on-board components get damaged.

After packing everything I saw the volume flex cable detached from the chassis and wanted to clean and attach with adhesive tape. I knew that these cables are fragile but as much as just swiping with a tissue would break it apart, I didn't know that.

Well that's it. I found the cable on AliExpress.com and want to order it [see pic below] but I don't know how would I replace it on the board. What else would I need to attach this volume cable/buttons to the board?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
