Oneplus 3: Not turning on after repair, but it does charge

Fri, 25 Sep 2020 09:58:14 -0700

So i replaced my charging port using this guide:

OnePlus 3 USB Type-C Port Replacement

Everything went ok, but i can’t get the phone to turn on. When i put it on my charger, it does connect (smoothly) and i see it charging (20% right now). But I can’t turn on the phone.

Does anybody have any clue what I did wrong or what part of the recovery i should do again? Because this means the battery is working correctly, right?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

Nvm, put on the casing and it turned on. Weird, according to the video i could check without it. Oh well.

Oneplus 3: Screen does not work after replacement

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 12:14:50 -0700

Hi, seems like something went wrong… I followed all the instructions, but at the end of the reassembly, the phone does not turn on. I plugged in the charger and pressed the power button, but there is only a slight vibration, the back/home buttons light up, and then nothing. The device repeats this every few seconds. I tried power + vol down for a few seconds too, LED goes red and then same result (repeat vibration + back/home lights blink). What’s the problem here? What might I have missed? Is the new display or new battery faulty?

Oneplus 3: Capacitive buttons not working after daughter board replacement

Oneplus 3: Screen won't turn on, no visible damage

Fri, 12 Jun 2020 15:30:19 -0700

My Oneplus 3 screen won't turn on at all. There is no visible damage to the screen but it did happen after a short drop to the floor. Could it require a new screen or has something been knocked loose internally? Any help appreciated.

Oneplus 3: Why does my OP 3 shuts down after locking?

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 03:43:11 -0700

Hi there,

I recently changed the screen of my OP 3 because it fell on the floor and did not show anything afterwards (I don't know if this only damaged the screen or also other parts of the phone).

Now, the screen works very well and and the phone does turn on as well (I even type this with my OP3). But I now have two problems:

1) My phone shuts down almost immediately after I lock it (after one or two seconds I can still unlock it but after 5 seconds or so it is dead). It does not shut down while the screen is on, though.

2) It heats quite a lot during using and especially during charging. I know, this seems to be a general issue with older OP phones and happened to me as well, but never to that extent (after charging 30 min it gets overheated which never happened before).

Plus, there are two issues that might or might not be related to these to problems so I add them as well: My volume control buttons did not work before the screen replacement, which is quite odd, because the power button works well. And I think I have destroyed the home button/fingerprint scan while changing the screen.

What do you think, is there any hope of solving these problems without having to buy a new phone?

Best, thank you all!

Clemens

Oneplus 3: OnePlus 3 not responding

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 02:55:30 -0700

I recently replaced my OP3 battery after facing battery draining issues. Since then the phone has not turned on. The power button+volume down is also not working. But when I try switching it on with the charger plugged in, the OnePlus logo splash screen appears for a while and it switches off again. I can’t figure out what the problem really is. Need help ASAP.

Oneplus 3: My microphone and earpiece aren't working

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 16:41:21 -0700

The microphone and earpiece on my OnePlus 3T aren’t working. People don’t hear me when in call and all I can hear is just noise from the earpiece. The headphone jack doesn’t work either. The only way I am able to make calls is via Bluetooth.

I suspect it is caused by the audio chip because i have replaced the earpiece and the daughterboard and ribbon cables but that didn’t solve the problem.

I have a broken OnePlus 3 does anyone know if i can replace the audio chip? Where is it located? Is is the same for 3 and 3t and can they be interchanged? Thank you!

Oneplus 3: How to remove stripped T2 Torx recessed screws on the bottom?

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 12:29:23 -0700

I have a OnePlus A3000 Phone that needs a screen replacement. It has two screws at the bottom, but I cannot get them loose. They are T2 Torx screws, but they appear to be stripped. They are recessed in the phone housing, so I can’t grip them with a set of pliers. How can I remove these, and where can I get replacements for them?

Oneplus 3: Does the 3 and 3T have compatible screen hardware?

Thu, 31 Jan 2019 08:47:11 -0700

Accidentally bought a replacement screen for a 3 instead of the 3t. Just wondering what the chances are that the screen for the 3 will still work on my 3T.

Oneplus 3: OnePlus 3t will not charge, says battery temperature is too low.

Sat, 19 Jan 2019 13:15:13 -0700

So last night I plugged in my OnePlus 3t at 28%, I came back about an hour later and noticed it was still at 28% and not dash charging. I turned it off and it showed a screen that said “Battery Temperature is too low” I turned it back on and it said it had 50% and not charging. I downloaded an app to tell me what the temperature was of the battery and it said -40 degrees.

I know it can’t be that cold, as it doesn’t get that cold where I live.

Is this a battery issue? or is this board level?

Oneplus 3: Screen gets pixelated and phone crashes. What is wrong? [Pic attached]

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 05:30:31 -0700

I have a OP3 for 2 years. It is running stock OxygenOS 5.0.6 with f2fs partitions. For the last year, the screen gets pixelated and the phone hangs and switches off. It can be restarted almost immediately. This usually happens randomly and is accompanied by a loud beep sound when it happens while watching YouTube.

I have noticed that the top right edge of the screen is popping slightly (barely noticeable like 2mm from its normal position) out from the frame.

I have tried resetting the phone several times to no avail.

This crash is happening several times a day now instead of once a week like earlier.

Is there something wrong with the display or logic board or some loose connector? Or software issue? I wish to repair the phone myself.

Oneplus 3: Ghosting after screen replacement

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:48:25 -0700

I changed the display of my phone and everything was fine, only when the phone was in ist's protective case it took a few hours and it started ghosting...

I had it in my pocket for hours without case, never a problem. I tried two different Cases, it always ended switching the phone off and on again.

Whenever the ghosting(touches registered, where I didn't touch) starts I have to restart the phone and everything is back to normal.

Now I realized I lost a little part: the little golden hook on the lower third of the phones side.

Could that be a problem? If so, what is the name of that piece and where can I get it?

Oneplus 3: Why do I have to press home & power button to turn on my phone?

Tue, 01 May 2018 13:09:00 -0700

Hey guys, most of my family members owns a One Plus. However for a few weeks now, if my phone turns off or if I turn it off, the only way I can turn it on is by pressing the home button and the power button. If I only press the power button, it won't turn on. However, before it started doing this, I was able to only press the power button. Now, my sibling's One Plus is also doing the same thing. She owns the 5t and I own the 3t. Is it from the new update or a common problem?
