Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: After swapping digitizer, device won't boot

Thu, 22 Sep 2016 02:47:35 -0700

Hi all, I recently swapped out the digitizer on a S7560M, and since then, the device is stuck in a boot loop, powers up, goes to logo, reboots.

I have torn down and re-assembled the device to check connections, all appears ok.

Can't get to safe mode or recovery, I'm stuck.

Since this is a fairly new device I can't find any further info. I have repaired many different devices over the years, and have not had an issue like this.

any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: Android Update has made phone slow and unuseable

Sat, 13 Feb 2016 21:57:55 -0700

after update to android 4.1.2 my galaxy ace 2 has become extremely slow, unresponsive etc..

(1) Has anyone found apps causing this following the update

(2) Is it possible to increase the memory on the phone ? ( I am a trained electronics technician so can replace parts - but will the software deal with it and is a chip to replace the memory available that is of the same package type ?

(3) Has anyone had this problem and managed to get samsung to admit its software update has made the phone un-useable ?

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: screen is black and unresponsive

Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:22:52 -0700

i was playing on my Samsung Galaxy ace 3 when my screen froze and wouldn't do anything, so after several minutes i took the battery out. Now i cant get it to turn on! i have tried charging it and stuff but not even the charging symbol is coming up. i have also tried factory resets but nothing is coming up on the screen!

also me and my sister swooped battery's to see if that helped, her phone turned on but mine still didnt. So that means its not battery but my phone

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: Why won't the battery charge?

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 18:40:33 -0700

Hello iFixit community,

My wife’s mother has had this phone since the beginning of time. It’s in fairly good condition, but I can’t get the battery to take a charge. I’ve taken it apart to the point of being able to see the back of the circuit board, but I can’t find anything that’s clearly wrong with it.

The battery has (what I assume is) a date on it of 2012.11.10… I don’t know if this is the date the batteery was manufactured because the writing beside that date is Chinese.

Is it just that the battery is past it’s life expectancy or do these phones have problems with the charging jacks on the solder points or….? Is there something I can do to fix this with relative ease?

We don’t have a spare battery laying around.. is there any kind of check I can do to see if it IS indeed the battery before trying to find a replacement?

Any help would be appreciated! Many thanks in advance for any of your time and efforts!

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: Home button permanently depressed, after the phone fell down

Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:28:34 -0700

My Samsung Galaxy Ace II x (SGH-T599v) phone fell down and the home button is permanently depressed. The screen automatically flashes on and off due to this. the home button also does not function and when I press it there is no movement, indicating it has already been depressed to the full extent.

How do I get the home button functioning again ?

Do I need to change the button completely ?
