I have this used Dell desktop I’m trying to use but it’s protected by a BIOS or HDD password. Is there any way I can reset...

I have a customer with some eTalk flip phone from verizon and it is currently having an issue where it automatically...

By the looks of it, it’s just like the S20 ultra and ultra 5G in that they both use the same display. Meaning the Note 10+ and 5G use the same display. Just be careful with the wireless charging coil a lot of repair shops have been damaging the connector for it and if you do damage it, you’ll need to get that repaired as there’s a temperature sensor on the coil and if the phone can’t read it, the phone will pop up with a message saying “temperature is too low” and it won’t charge. You can order the parts from MobileSentrix, Mobile Defenders, or Injured Gadgets. You really can’t go wrong with either of those companies but you’ll have to buy the tools separately.

If they’re a good reputable shop, they would put a warranty that covers in defects in parts and/or workmanship, at least that’s the case in my shop. Bring it back to them and ask what they can do. I perform and record a functionality test before I attempt any repairs on any device along with sending the results to my customer via email. I do this for a couple of reasons. 1 is to ensure that I and the customer are aware of any other potential issues that way they can’t blame me for damaging something when it was an existing issue. 2 is to make sure everything works before I do the repairs. That way, in case I damage something, I know that it’s most likely my fault and that I need to fix it.

If it’s the selfie camera I would send it in for warranty unless it’s an issue caused by iOS 14. While you can replace the FFC, it will result in a loss of FaceID functionality without a special machine from apple.

You could’ve damaged the cable or the display itself while repairing it. Order a screen replacement and give that a shot. I highly recommend sticking with OLED as LCD replacements can impact battery life and potentially damage the display connector on the board due to its higher energy consumption.

Send it to iPad Rehab, Rossmann Repair Group, or STS Telecom. They all have youtube channels you can check out and they could either fix the device or at least recover data.

They use a different battery so you’ll probably need to replace that as well. It would be best just to find a new logic board that matches what you have now

I would imagine it’s a VERY difficult repair to attempt.

Liquid damage isn’t a very practical repair but I suppose you could try a daughter board with accompanying button. Although you can replace the button it would lose touch ID

I would imagine a new NFC antenna would fix it, but I can’t seem to find where it’s located. I think it’s that small ribbon assembly under the FFC and Face ID components.

There’s options like RepairShoppr and I believe RepairQ. They offer sales tracking like existing services like Square but are better suited for repair shops and offer integration with parts suppliers for inventory management along with creating intake forms. I have yet to use one of these systems but I’ve heard pretty good things about them. Right now I’m using square as that’s what I can afford.
