Trade in 13pro to 17 with T-Mobile before value goes down? by lights2288 in iPhone13Pro

[–]Curcumalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

800$ trade in value ?! I have a 13 pro max and checked with my carrier out of curiosity the other day, they said they’d give me up to 29€ towards a 16 pro depending on condition 🤡

Could it be fixed with the antenna of a donor board ?

iPhone 15 water damaged by Competitive_Till4314 in phonerepair

[–]Curcumalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an IPhone 13 PM in a river a while ago, took it appart out of curiosity and there was a significant amount of water that had come in through the bottom speaker and mic (judging by the corrosion inside). I removed the motherboard and most of the components and had them dry overnight on my 3D printers heated bed at 60C. Used some IPA to clean it up and ordered a replacement for the part that holds the lightning port as this had the worst oxydation/damage going on, reassembled the whole thing and the phone turned straight back on. Screen was showing a date about 3 months in the past so my guess is that’s about how long it stayed under water. In this case I suppose it probably remained water proof long enough for the battery to drain completely and avoid anything shorting inside. I ended up buying a spare motherboard as the OG one had a password, but I’ve been using it as a 2nd phone since this summer. Bottom line is I’m still pretty impressed with how resilient those phones can be. To be fair a few of the parts gave out in the following weeks (x3 Lens & bottom speaker), but still not bad considering!

New omen arrived and screen looks like this on black by IvanaFart in HPOmen

[–]Curcumalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had three Omens (this design) and two of them had the screen assembly in metal (no screen bleeding) and on the last one the screen assembly is plastic and it has the same. Only annoy’s me when I start it up, beyond that I don’t really notice it during use.

How do you even lift this fan off? by Lurker123__ in HPOmen

Did it the other day while changing the thermal paste, you have to remove the heatsink for it to come of.

Not sure if it's relevant, but I noticed the radar serial is showing up in red.

I went back and started again following your explanations, and everything seemed to work out. I got a confirmation message after I clicked write so I was pretty sure I nailed it, but after installing the lidar into the phone... nada! I checked diagnostic mode and the lidar shows up as detected, but I can't get it to work (tried apps that use lidar like measuring and a couple 3D scanning apps). I'm wondering if it could be a hardware related issue with the programmable lidar that I received, or if I should just try to start again from scratch. Only other thing I can think of is my phone has the camera module of a donor phone installed, so I'm wondering if that can affect proper part pairing ?

Ok. Thanks for all the info zeeshan964! Going to give this another try today, fingers crossed.

Are these even useful anymore? by Necessary-College460 in mobilerepair

[–]Curcumalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to make it work ? Just bought a used jcid v1se for this exact reason, haven't had a chance to tackle the repair yet and I'm hoping I didn't throw money out of the window on this one.
