Nothing seems to have been damaged, but the battery will no longer take a charge. I've tried the Moto turbo charger, PC USB, Samsung chargers, all the same issue.

The device will absolutely happily work while plugged in...it just won't charge the battery. The battery just 'flat-lines' no charge / no depletion. The charging bolt shows on the icon, but status shows 'Not charging'.

I successfully flashed the latest Android 6 via USB cable. I have wiped and formatted everything. I did notice that it was charging (went from 10% up to 34%) while booted into TWRP custom recovery whilst doing a backup - but since I restored stock > updated Android 6 > flashed latest TWRP it no longer charges even in TWRP recovery.

I have let the battery deplete and automatically power off, then left on charge for a few hours but it still won't take a charge. The device boots up with 1% and will just happily work forever on 1% while plugged in.

Any ideas?

After replacing the coil according to your video, the charger won’t register the phone at all.

1)

I suspect that the conduits on the coil aren’t lining up properly in the phone, because the part of the frame that part of the frame is missing.

(Here is an imgur link to the piece I am refering too: https://imgur.com/vIfT3dg )

2)

I’m also wondering if there is an issue with the adhesive on the coil. On my old coil, you can see an orange conduit connecting both connector strips. But on my new coil, that is covered with adhesive, could that be an issue?

(He is an imgur link to what I am referring too: https://imgur.com/nT41bec )

3) Is applying the QI coil to the charger directly, without the back case, just to see if the charger sees the coil something I can try just to see if the coil placement is the issue?

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with the coil placement, the coil itself, or some other issue.

Thank you for your help.

From past few months, whatever charger I'm putting in it, it's just not working ever again. It takes time, but after like 1-2 weeks the cable just doesn't work.

It has happened to over 4 charging cables now, all this time I thought that it happened because of one charger, but now I think it's because of the phone. Please tell me what to do asap as I don't want to waste more wires on this.

I couldn't find anything anywhere while searching online, every tutorial is regarding a broken cable or something. There's absolutely no damage anyhow on the cable, it's just that it has stopped working from inside. And I've tested on different adapters and different wires, all the wires aren't working now i.e. some don't charge at all, others charge at below 100mah(the adapter's I used were 1A and 2A)

It's a big tension for me as I just can't be going on buying cables every week or month just for this. Please please help!

Once I had access to the battery connector, I measured it with my multimeter. The two contacts on the sides had "P+" and "P-" under them, like this:

When I contacted my multimeter to these, it registered 4.10 volts. I know this isn't normal voltage for this battery, but shouldn't it still start up? Any chance it ruined the logic board? Upon inspection, the logic board looks perfect. At least the front side of it. The battery looks visually perfect too.

@avanteguarde Any chance you think this is firmware related?

@theimedic @refectio is it bad for an iPhone battery to be above 3.7v? Do you think I wasn't measuring the voltage right?

I was saving up for something else more important and I don't want to buy a new phone right now, so if I can make this one last another 12 months that would be great.

Some weeks ago i noticed my nexus was randomnly shutting down at 15-21% battery then it got worse now at 55-60% of battery, one week later it came at the point that at 90% of battery shut down and have to charge it again and finally now it shuts off whenever not plugged in. I read in many forums about similar problems and tried a few "solutions" like Entering in bootloader then bootloader logs pressing 10 seconds the power button after this process this should reset the battery statistics and boot the phone but it didn't work, Factory reset, calibrating the battery and others but no one of this worked. What could be the problem?

Also in the bootloader it shows a message that indicates the state of the battery is OK

1) very low volume and

2) distorted in a specific way; the bass and parts of the midrange seem to be missing.

The result when listening to news etc on radio is that some people's voices sound fine and others very low or distorted. Music sounds completely distorted.

This is an intermittent problem. I've tried using my regular headphones which work fine with other devices. They have a TRRS plug and a switch to swap between android and iPhone compatiblity although this setting does nothing in this case, sounds the same. When I plugged these in yesterday just to see if the problem was still there the sound was completely fine, problem gone. Later that day I tried again and the problem was there.

I've tried plugging in a pair of other TRRS-plug headphones which work in other devices with the same result.

Now, I tried plugging in another pair of headphones which have a TRS-plug and these always work. So if I plug in my TRRS-plug headphones, problem is there, switch to my TRS-plug headphones, problem is gone.

I can't figure out any other explanation than that the 3.5mm jack on my nexus 6 is broken.

Here's a pick of my plugs: http://imgur.com/FuqavHv

They wanted me to see if I could get it working in the hopes of recovering data from it.

After inspecting the motherboard and cleaning most of the egg off, I noticed that a few capacitors were corroded and desperately needed replacement, since the pads on the side of a few of them were completely missing.

Anyway, I need to figure out the values for these, as the damaged caused to them potentially is the reason it's not turning on, on top of the fact that the egg was shorting quite a few things out as well.

If anyone can provide a link to a schematic or service manual that might describe what that area of the board does, I would be - as iFixit says - eternally grateful :)

I am thinking of buying the motherboard online.

Can I fit 64gb motherboard in 32gb model?

⟐ Answered April 23, 2018 at 6:42 MST

Two questions:

1. Is there a way to tell if the motherboard is working?
2. What else could be wrong with the phone? Is there any damage that I should keep an eye out for?
