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 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..

Motorola Droid RAZR: Will removal of an emi shield ruin the phone?

Mon, 17 Mar 2014 23:22:13 -0700

My razr recently took a very brief swim in some water. It was submerged on the order of ~2-3 sec. I let it dry for a 56+ hours in some rice. When i tried to turn it on, no response. I plug it in and it will display the Motorola icon then eventually show batter icon with zero charge. It is not a battery issue, already swapped teh battery with another one and observed the same response. Upon further disassembly and inspection, it was revealed there is some corrosion under the lower corner EMI shield closest to the battery. If i remove the shield (soldered on) will i permanently brick the phone? There is data (photos and videos) of great importance to me on the internal 16g sandisk solid state memory card. My plan is to brush the corrosion away where affected. Can i remove a single emi shield with great care and escape with a functioning phone or with this surely be the nail in the coffin with all hope lost? The alternative is to try to mount the sandisk internal storage to another razr mother board and pray i did not ruin it in the process. Has anyone successfully removed an emi shield while still having a fully functional phone?

Motorola Droid RAZR: How do I fix the media speaker attached to the back?

Wed, 19 Aug 2015 15:12:03 -0700

Recently, my Droid Razr's media speaker on the back has been cutting out. I've discovered that when you push on the back where the speaker is, it will start playing again for a short time. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the contacts the speaker connects to.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Motorola Droid RAZR: Dropped it in water, can I save it?

Sat, 15 Aug 2015 00:40:13 -0700

I have had this little beauty since it came out, no problems. Yesterday it flew into a clean toilet bowl of water for 5 seconds - dried it quickly, riced still no dice, 24 hours later have taken back off but damaged the gold/orange battery +/- connector (slight tear) is screwed in so stopped! unsure if I now have to replace this AS well as the battery. ..there was some damp still in phone when I took the back off, do I continue taking the battery out in hope of drying it??!

I mostly just want to resurrect the phone for a short time to transcribe notes I have taken, vids, photos, contacts. Can I do it or should I just take straight to professionals?
