My new phone wont start up!

I've only used it for 3 or 4 days... My phones battery was low and i put it on charging.After some time i checked it wheather was fully charged or not. It was charged 95%.. I put it on charging for some more minitues. When i checked after some time it was off.. I tried everything and it wont start up. Visited the service center and they said that they think its board is dead..It was an abroad phone.. They said that i should give it back to the shop that it was purchased. They could only fix the phone...I cant give it back to the location where it was purchased. So please help me!

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime: The audio is not working on a samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g531f

Mon, 23 Oct 2017 06:26:07 -0700

i just received this phone, the guy who sold me said that it was perfectly working except from the front buttons on the screen, and there was another defect: the phone was little bended.

i changed the touchscreen and i fixed the frame (so the phone is not bended anymore)

but i found another problem, there is no audio, no audio from the jack, no audio from the front speaker, no audio from the back speaker but the microphone is working

i tried a reset but nothing, i tried an hard reset, but still nothing

i'm thinking that probably the banding caused some damage on the ic audio, but unfortunatley i can't identify it.

someone could help me?

where is it?which is the model?

thanks

anyone?

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime: Why doesn't my Samsung device recognize the micro SD card I install?

Sat, 10 Aug 2019 19:22:10 -0700

On my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, Model#: SM-S920L, why won't it recognize when I install a micro sd card for expanded memory? I've tried an HC 8Gig card as well as a Samsung brand 32Gig card but it won't read that there is a card in there at all. Is the reader damaged? The prongs of the reader have to meet the pads on the sd card, right? So maybe the prongs are bent? How can I fix this issue PLEASE!

After having a shattered lcd and digitizer screen and replacing the motherboard. The phone will power on (the motherboard had a factory reset ) perfect quality picture. But after a few mins of recording ,moving icons around, going into different settings.

The screen responds has it should, but then it comes alive on its own, switching from one screen to another for a while.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime: Water damage , dead short across battery

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 12:01:04 -0700

I am currently working on a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime with liquid damage. I don't know exactly what happened to it, but it was dry when I got it with a decent amount of white residue on the board. The phone did not power on at all. I have removed the visible residue with isopropanol and still nothing.. My multi-meter shows a dead short across the positive and the negative of the battery connector on the main phone board. Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you
