I think it most likely is a mechanical issue. (The phone seems to react to USB cable movement; what makes it difficult to determine is that sometimes moving the cable doesn't help until rebooting the phone.)

After some investigation, I found that there are suggestions to replace the charging port. (One auction—already over—is here.)

I guess I'm answering my own question already, but in that case, this post might be useful to others—especially since it seems that this is one of the most common issues. Actually, I would like advice on whether my diagnosis is right. And assuming it is, maybe someone who's already done the repair could write a guide on how to do it.

It looks like a straightforward change, but I'm a total noob.

When I turn it on, it get started and then within seconds it get shutdown automatically.

I tried searching on internet but unfortunately, did not find any solution.

Could you please help me?

I'd like to know if it is possible to exchange the top glass of the Galaxy Nexus i9250. The screen on my device is working OK. Only the glass has cracked. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks .

I just bought a used Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9250. Everything works fine except of the SIM-card reader. When I pulled out the Microsimcardadapter I damaged two of the pins (contacts).

My question: How can I fix that? Is there a way to fix it without changing the simcardreader? Do I have to buy a new simcardreader? Where could I buy a simcardreader?

Thank you very much for answers!

Thanks for your answer!

Just made some pics of the broken sim card junctor.

great work in iFixit, i really like your teardown. Can you tell me which GPS Chip is used ? I try to find out if the galaxy nexus can use Glonass. Second question is bluetooth related, i read everywhere that Nexus has Bluetooth 3.0 but the BT Chip has Bluetooth 4.0. What do you think about this ?

regards Thomas

I just ordered replacements parts on http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-gala..., but I tried to find any help or information on how to reattach a new flex cable, however there seems to be no information.

iFixIt does say that the volume flex cable is soldered to the main board, but that's about it.

So my question is, how should I proceed to re-solder a new volume flex cable? I have some experience but I have never done something so "risky"... Am I better off finding a repair shop?

I assumed the problem was the charging dock, so I changed it out to a new one and attempted to charge it. No luck. The battery looks fine, however I do not have a new one to try. (I've ordered one now, should come soon..)

I've checked the motherboard for any signs of water damage but it looks beautiful. Despite that, I cleaned it with some Isopropyl and a soft brush. Any ideas besides the battery? I was thinking about changing out the screen, to see if the screen could in some way be damaged. (Customer claims he's never dropped the phone, and when I look around the edges it looks to be a true statement.)

I'm at a loss except for possibly the battery, which wouldn't make sense from the information I've received from the customer...

When it stopped working, there was no warning sign. Also, I was not using data at the time (was just texting, not playing games....besides, I never play games on the phone). The phone was NOT dropped and nor did it get wet. There is no known reason for it to suddenly stop working.

Any advice/links/tips would be most appreciated, including a list of needed tools to get this done. I'd just buy a new phone, but I still have a year left on my contract!

Thanks!

I would like to fix my old and dead Samsung Galaxy Nexus (just wanted to learn how to fix stuffs). I never fix a dead phone before, so this is my first time doing it.

Initially the eMMC is broken (I got bootloops and cannot reflash factory image). I left it died for around 1 year, and now after I try to turn it on, it only shows the Google logo.

After a few searches, it seems I have these options:

1. I found a store locally that sells only the eMMC for around $15, but I couldn't find a good guide and the tools to replace the eMMC.

2. I also found a new Galaxy Nexus motherboard on ebay, but with price around $90s (with shipping cost). I can try to follow the guide on ifixit and buy the tools as well for replacing the motherboard.

3. Also on ebay, I found a used Galaxy Nexus motherboard for around $20, but I'm not sure about the quality of this motherboard.

What do you guys suggest for me to fix this phone?

This is my first time posting here, please forgive any mistake I make in this post.

Thank you.
