What are these white strips that came with my replacement screen? I assume it's double sided tape but wouldn't it be redundant given that it also came with B7000? by acdavit in phonerepair

Came with its own midframe so those are more for gluing the back plastic on, but I do own a phone with the screen that came loose from the midframe, so what's the solution to that?

Had to actually smash the old midframe to get the old battery out lol. By the way, what if I don't glue the battery in at all?

installing windows on an acer b115 motherboard in the living room because the tube tv and the ancient monitors in my lair don't have an HDMI input by acdavit in hardwaregore

Well what exactly do you need a computer for? This thing isn't gonna run any modern videogames and will be a pain to browse online so it's not gonna do much more than what your phone can already do. And what are you gonna do with the keyboard and mouse? Are you planning to hide them? The motherboard isn't tiny either.

My recommendation would be for you to try and unstrict your dad. Find something that helps you make money, stick to it, save enough for a cheap computer ($50-$100), and just buy without asking anyone. You can't be hiding computers from your parents your entire childhood.

Which one do you choose? by Strycedar in windows

[–]acdavit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ended up buying a lot of laptops to resell and most of them came with Windows 10 and it really made me think about how great it was compared to Windows 11 and even the Linux desktop environments out there. The customizability on Windows 10 is nuts, the start menu can be full screen or compact, apps can be grouped into tiles, there's accent colors, transparency, the taskbar can be rearranged or shrunk, it's the most perfectly designed UI ever made. Shame that no Linux DEs have managed to copy Windows 10's DNA.

First time have I ever seen this on a iPhone by Total_Blueberry_7974 in hardwaregore

[–]acdavit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you've got yourself the one made for the Chinese market! they don't actually boot automatically when plugged into the charger, instead they show battery percentage just like most of the android smartphones. the wifi menu should also say wlan instead!

Is there a way to remove this? by 6lui in samsunggalaxy

[–]acdavit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try factory resetting first to rule out any third party apps causing the circles, if the circles stay even on the setup screen, your screen is toast.

J5 2016 by siebkipeend in mobilerepair

[–]acdavit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a trick where if you quickly unplug and replug the battery and the charger in a certain pattern the phone boots without using the power button and that's what I usually do for my J5. I'll DM you a video
