LG K7: Phone no longer connects to cellular service after restart.

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:21:31 -0700

A few days ago, I restarted my phone after clearing some data on my device in an attempt to save storage (my phone was warning that my storage was low, so I deleted the phone's cache and the "Android" selection in the storage's "Miscellaneous" grouping after making sure all apps and/or media that could be stored on the SD card was.). As it finished rebooting, I noticed it failed to play the T-Mobile jingle as it normally would while rebooting. Upon completing the reboot, the lock screen displayed "Service Disabled" and the cellular service bars on the upper-righthand corner showed no connection. Settings won't allow me to turn on my mobile network, or even select it as it's now grayed out. It does not recognize what mobile network it should be connected to in the "About Phone" section of Settings. Additionally, the phone will not play any audio from any source, despite audio being on in the settings. It won't play ringtones, notification alerts, alarms, etc. It won't even play video files with audio in any applications (showing playback errors or just failing to play despite loading the file), in addition to locally stored videos.

I have tried restarting the device, removing and reinserting the SIM card and then restarting the device, and I just completed a factory reset, all to no avail. I am unsure of how this failure has occurred. I had believed it was a software issue, but after the factory reset I now assume it must be hardware related. I have no idea what the problem could be, or what steps I should do to fix it. I have disassembled my phone to see if anything seems amiss or damaged. The headphone jack seemed loose where it rested, but I didn't notice it until a ways into disassembly and can't rule out that it became dislodged from said disassembly. Besides a normal amount of human refuse from years of use, nothing seemed out of the ordinary in the phone's internals. Short of replacing the motherboard, I'm stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.

LG K7: dropped my phone in the toilet

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 07:10:47 -0700

OK I dropped my phone in the toilet I put it in rice to dry it out and everything it worked for a few days after that and then the screen went black it’s still powers up and everything because the last thing that hit my phone before the screen went black was an amber alert so when you charge it up you will get that amber alert once you powered on so how much would it cost me to replace the screen or is that the problem or is it something else please let me know thank you

LG K7: Most mindboggling problem to date: Phone won't power on

Tue, 14 May 2019 10:38:24 -0700

I’m a seasoned troubleshooter fixing everything from computers to smartphones to consoles and so on, and this one has me stumped.

The phone is completely dead, doesn’t turn on, doesn’t charge.

Things I’ve already ruled out (and why):

The battery is fine (tried multiple batteries and swapping and charging both
The charging port is unknown (because even without charging the phone should work with a fully charged battery
There is no water damage, as seen by the indicator which is white.
The power button isn’t broken, because the copycat phone (identical but not the broken one) turns on automatically when charging.

So this leads me to believe it has to be:

1. the motherboard, as that’s the last thing that could be preventing it from powering on.

The charging port, still not completely ruled out.

Please help, this is driving me insane.
