Kyocera Rise: What can I fix to make the screen work?

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 01:20:55 -0700

I dropped my phone on the kitchen floor (i.e. hard slate tile) and although the phone seems to be working, the screen is not displaying anything. Could I get away with just replacing the screen? or would that not fix the phone since the glass is intact?

I'm a total newb at this sort of thing, so go easy :)

Kyocera Android Phone: Disassembling the Hydro Reach?

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 14:25:08 -0700

I dropped and damaged the screen of my Hydro Reach and determined that I need to replace the LCD digitizer. I found one on ebay.

But I have NO CLUE how to go about actually assembling that if and when I order it. When you open up the back of the Hydro Reach, it is fully covered with only access to the SD and Sim cards. The battery is enclosed inside. So, there's no obvious screws with which to open up the back.

I've searched high and low for guides on this specific phone and have only found ones for the other Hydro's that do not have this enclosed design like the Reach.

Please help!

Kyocera DuraForce PRO: Updated with pics, what typ of bit fits screws on front speaker grill?

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 19:23:01 -0700

Kyocera Dura Force Pro 2, there are 2 screws below screen holding metal speaker grill to phone. They are a security bit of sum type, but I can't find a driver bit to fit them. Judging by the cap this bit is probably going to look like a socket more than a driver bit. There is a small gap that a thin walled socket could fit (maybe). I've bought every micro driver bit set I could find. Everything from jewelry repair to gunsmithing & no luck. Maybe a proper name of cap screw would help. Thanks for looking, any educated answers are appreciated.

Kyocera DuraForce PRO: Will not charge with any charger

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 15:06:14 -0700

It is saying charger won't work with this device no matter what charger we use including the original one, usb wall outlets. Tried a force reset did not work. Red light is on with charger in and has a black screen with battery icon not showing green or any “voltage” moving up as it would be charging and it says low battery.

Kyocera DuraForce PRO: Phone will not turn on

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 16:55:57 -0700

My phone froze and then shut down at about 8% battery. It will charge, but I can’t get my phone to turn back on even after 30 minutes of charging. I’ve tried holding the power button and the power button with either of the volume buttons. Nothing I try seems to work.

Kyocera DuraForce PRO: What component is overheating and needing replacement?

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 04:32:21 -0700

I have a Kyocera Duraforce Pro that is having some debilitating display issues.

Within a month of owning this phone, it developed a minor graphical issue where colors would “bleed” vertically, leaving long but faint streaks across the display. This issue remained minor and unobtrusive for around half a year, but seems to have gotten significantly worse over the course of the past few months until now.

The entire display now shifts vertically downward, halfway or mostly off the bottom of the physical screen, and shakes up and down, leaving streaks of light across the upper portion of the physical screen where the display was shifted from. This effect becomes stronger and stronger with even basic use, and appears to accelerate if on a higher brightness, eventually becoming unusable within a minute or two.

This issue can be temporarily remedied and/or averted by applying active cooling (like an ice pack or a car’s A/C) to the *top right corner of the screen*, which will slowly but noticeably return the display to normal, unless the phone has been in use for more than a few hours, at which point it will only return about 2/3 of the way.

The touchscreen remains unaffected, and still works as normal even though the display is skewed.

This is NOT a software issue; please do not recommend software fixes of any kind, nor recommend taking it to be serviced. I have already attempted to get this fixed multiple times through the Sprint repair plan that was sold to me with the phone, only to have every Sprint store in the state refuse to repair or diagnose it, and to have Asurion refuse to replace it or allow it to be repaired somewhere that is willing to.

This issue should be specific and unique enough to know exactly what component needs replacement, that is what I need to find out, so I can deal with this fiasco personally.

Kyocera Android Phone: Duraforce Pro 2 - Opening it up to investigate speaker issue

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 12:25:37 -0700

My wife and daughter have the same phone. I love the durability. My daughter says her speakers are sounding wrong after the phone was exposed to moisture (she keeps it nearby when showering). I was wondering what the safe steps were to open the cover and look around inside. I was thinking of blowing it out gently with come canned air. I can’t find any instructions anywhere about opening this phone model.
