LG Optimus Zone 3: I have the black screen of death, but no trick works.

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 11:43:49 -0700

Basically, the screen is all black, but when I do a hard reset, the logo doesn’t show up. However, the touch screen still works, and it still vibrates when it is being turned on. I have attempted every trick and fix I could find.

LG Optimus G: How to get back the IMEI

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 07:38:53 -0700

My LG Optimus G has lost the IMEI after dropping from the chair. The IMEI in My Phone Identity menu said "Unknown" and so did the IMEI SV. The networking is normal, I can access the internet but I cannot have the phone call although the phone has simcard and memory card. My floor is made of ceramic. What can I do to repair my phone.

A repair shop told me that the hardware is the cause, not the software. But they don't have this kind of hardware.

If the hardware is the cause, could you please let me know what is it, what is the product code, eg, so that I can identify it and buy it online.

Thank you,

LG Optimus G: LG Optimus G Screen not responsive to touch

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 08:39:36 -0700

Hello i recently dropped a Optimus G and the screen is pretty banged up with crackes along the whole screen. When charged the screen responds and you can still see a clear image of my background and lockscreen. but it is unresponsive to my touch when i try to unlock it. i did a bit of research online I think whats wrong is it has a broken digitizer? i just wanted to get someones opinion before i decide to order a part so i could try to replace it. Some feedback would be great thank you!

LG optimus L90: My phone just stopped working

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 08:26:16 -0700

OK so... my phone just stopped working one day. I turned it back on and it gets to the LG logo screen and stays there. I have done the reset with hardkeys several times and it still does the same thing. It charges just fine. Has no damage, not even water. I don't know what to make of it. everything I have read online says to do an update on it from the home screen, but I can't get to that screen. It will NOT go passed the LG logo screen??? Any advise??? Thanx

LG Optimus Fuel: Where does internal data physically live?

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 23:40:57 -0700

I have an old 2014 LG Optimus Fuel. I stopped using it years ago and it’s been sitting in a cupboard. There is a voice recording that I want to get off of it..but it won’t charge, even with a new replacement battery, so I can’t turn it on. I can’t connect it to my computer and get the computer to realize there’s any connected device. (I don’t remember there having been any physical damage to it ever - I just upgraded.)

Where, physically, is internal data stored? Is there an equivalent to a desktop/laptop computer’s hard drive, on the phone? What I am wondering is if I could remove that specific component from my dead phone and transplant it into a new phone of the exact same type, to be able to access my data. Is that possible? Any info would be very very much appreciated!

[Or if there is a more simple solution to just get the dern thing to power on/be recognizable by a computer as an attached device, that would be even better X^D]

LG Optimus L9 P760: Restoring data from a dead phone?

Thu, 09 Apr 2020 03:47:08 -0700

I’ve looked online a bunch but none of the things I found helped.. The phone has been dead for years, found it recently during cleaning. I know there are a ton of memories on it. Also, I THINK the phone model is correct.. it’s been years, but I’m 85% sure the one on the picture is identical.

When i plug the phone into my PC, it is detected.. but not recognised. Does a nonstop loop of connect noise-disconnect noise-device not recognised notification. Cannot turn it on at all, not even a screen lit up. Any ideas?

optimus L9.

g4.

g3.

phones still need an rtc battery for when their main battery is out & it won’t have a network to get time from when it turns on again.
