I put my old cracked screen back in, works reasonably well given the extent of the cracks. Got an RMA replacement, second replacement screen does exactly the same thing, image is great, no digitizer activity, no sound. Put old cracked screen back in, very degraded now as bits of glass are falling out, but otherwise it still works.

I looked online for screen initialization procedures but didn’t see any. Screen model matches my Moto G5 plus. I am out of ideas.

I have a client that brought me a water damaged (Creek Water) Moto G5 Plus (Verizon) phone. I am in need of a schematic to find some values of missing caps due to corrosion.

-=-=-=-=Long explanation below=-=-=-=-

My mom’s Moto G5 of 2+ years has spontaneously died according to her. It was working as her alarm clock this morning. However when she went to check it a couple hours later, it was no longer powering on and the screen does not turn on at all. Holding power button for 10+ seconds does nothing. No audible sounds either. Plugging it into a charger does not turn the screen on or produce the “charging” beep/tone. Prior to this, she did not drop it on the floor or cause any liquid to spill on it. Prior to the phone dying, she mentioned hearing beeps, maybe indicating that it was low on battery, but can’t say for sure if it was a text message tone or the low battery tone.

What I did to diagnose the problem:

-Held the power button for 15+ seconds. Helpd power button & vol up/down buttons for 15+ seconds in various combinations (power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up+vol down). Nothing.

-I checked to see if it was still detected when I plugged it into my Windows PC, nothing. No beeps, not detected in my Device Manager. No Windows sounds when I plug it in/unplug it from USB. Tried different USB cables too and phones and they are not the issue.

-I took apart the phone to see maybe the battery is dead. Checked the voltage of the battery and found the battery is rated at 3.8v. Pulled out the multimeter and got a reading of 4.14V. Higher than the rated voltage, but tells me the battery is not dead if it is producing voltage. I even used some jumper wires to power a small 5V USB fan with the battery. So I can say with 100% certainty that the battery is not dead.

At this point, I figure something else within the phone died. Maybe she dropped it a while ago and it didn’t start to malfunction until now for some reason. Maybe an integrated circuit on the board randomly short circuited. Either way the phone seems dead to me and all she wants to to recover photos that were not backed up to Google Photos.

-=-=-=-=Back to to the main question=-=-=-=-

Just wondering if there is a way to access the memory within the phone. Since plugging in the USB is not working because the phone itself is not connected, is there a flash memory card or adapter that will let me look inside the phone’s memory and recover the photos?

-=-=-=-=tl;dr=-=-=-=-

• Moto G5+ phone randomly stopped working.
• No water damage, no physical damage.
• Does not power on, no matter what.
• Windows does not detect the phone into PC.
• Took apart phone, battery is not the issue because it could power a USB fan
• Can the data from phone be recovered?

But I only see parts for 1680/4/5/7. Will one of those work?

My question is this: How can I go about replacing the audio jack in my phone? I need to know both where to search for such a replacement part, and how to install it once I have it. The rest of my phone works great, so I do not want to have to go out and purchase a new phone if I can get this one up and running just fine.

Let me know if I can provide any additional information that will help towards an answer.

The connector has never seemed to seat properly in the charge port on the phone. It loses connection of the the cord or phone is jostled even slightly. Thinking there may be debris in the port I have attempted clean it out gently and with compressed air. That may have helped some, but only marginally if so.

Now the overheating.

I have connected a new cord, still a tenuous connection, and the phone is charging on turbo.

Any suggestions re: this problem are welcome.

Can the charge port be replaced and how difficult might that be? I have done screen, batter, etc. on several iPhone models. (using the very helpful guides here at iFixit)
