Samsung Galaxy S7 Active: S7 active lcd connector

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 21:03:18 -0700

My screen is broken and cannot be unlocked to retrieve data. I have exhausted all other potential options. I do not care if the screen is a permanent fix all I want is an affordable option to use a compatible screen that can access data then wipe and recycle phone, even if it can only work by using a flex cable. I need to know if there are any lcd/digitizers from other models that use the same plug as the s7 active. If so would the s7 active recognize the input from touch and also the lcd to display for the part that has the same connector? Thank you for your time.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active: Will a repair kit for a Samsung S7 work on an S7 Active?

Wed, 26 Dec 2018 09:51:19 -0700

I need to replace that battery on my S7 Active, but I don’t see any kits for the active—just generic for the S7. Would that work? I’m specifically wonering whether the waterproof seal would fit—is it the same size?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active: "Moisture has been detected" issue.

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 09:49:13 -0700

All of a sudden my S7 active started to claim that “moisture has been detected” and that I had to remove the cable and dry the charging port. The phone has never been exposed to water. I followed all the advice I could find online:

· Stored the phone in basmati rice for an entire week

· Used hair drier for over 3 hours blowing straight into charging port and open SIM card port

· Left it in the sun for a few hours constantly ensuring it never overheated

The problem persisted and the battery ended up dying. I then followed the disassembly guide found on ifixit.com and removed the piece of board that contains the charging port. I then cleaned it and removed any sign of corrosion (which there sure was). Now re-assembled the phone refuses to react to the power button as well as to the charging cable and remains completely dead. Any advice? Can I buy the piece of board with the charging port from anywhere?

Thanks for your answer!

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active: Purple line down one side of Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:36:55 -0700

So I have had my S7 Active for 6 months now, and it has developed a thin purple line down one side of the screen.

The problem seems to be intermittent, fixed temporarily by either touching the top right of the screen, going into the screen calibrator, or rebooting. Whatever method is used, its will come back at a random time in the future.

I have seen many posts elsewhere with people having the same issue, and the only recourse so far has been to send it back to Samsung . However, people are reporting the phone comes back then starts the same issue a little while later.

I don't know if Samsung are sending a refurbished unit back with the same stock problem or repairing the original, but if the former I was wondering if anyone has had permanent success with replacing the screen and/or digitize?

Thanks
