Motorola Droid RAZR: My Phone Keeps turning off and then turning itself back on?

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:52:23 -0700

When I turn on my Droid RAZR and it does its power up, I wait for my service to come on. Before the service gets turned on, the phone restarts itself every time. It continues to do this over and over and over until it runs out of battery. I've tried hooking it up to chargers and hooking it up to a computer. It continues to do the same thing. I tried to restart the phone manually, but this still hasn't fixed the problem. Do I need to buy a new phone?

Motorola Droid 1: How can I repair the headphone jack?

Sat, 12 May 2018 22:14:28 -0700

Recently I have been getting an extraneous crackling noise from a loose 1/8" connection in my phone. At times sound will completely cut out and the music app will become paused as if I had removed the headphone's all together. As it happens with every cable and set of headphones I use it is definitely an issue with the headphone jack. How can I go about dismantling the phone in order to repair the loose connection?

Motorola Droid RAZR: How can I fix my Motorola Droid RAZR power button?

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 08:09:53 -0700

The button on my Motorola Droid RAZR suddenly stopped working. When I press it, it doesn't turn the screen on or off and it won't pop up with the power off option for my phone. If I let my screen turn off or go into "sleep," I can't get my screen to come on unless I plug it into a charger, but the button is useless. Can it be fixed?

Motorola Droid RAZR: How to fix corrosion on motherboard.

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 04:45:09 -0700

My droid razr had gotten water inside it while I was boating. It's worked fine for the day but then stopped working. When I plugged it in the next day a white indicator light appeared but would not let me turn on my phone. I thought the battery had been fried so I bought the Maxx battery and conversion kit. When I was replacing it, I noticed corrosion on the motherboard. What should I do?

I have a droid Razr with a broken LCD... we found a replacement phone and tried to swap out the lcd from that phone and put it in the broken one... during this time it was impossible to separate the lcd from the front screen and the good lcd cracked as well.. We are looking for a cheap place to repair the phone since all seem so expensive. Any suggestions?
