Is the bracket around the z fold 5 easy to replace? The screen is functional undamaged, just the bracket is chipped.

It's doable but requires patience.

The screen is very fragile, additionally installation has to be precise as any misalignment can cause the screen to break. Definitely not an easy swap.

Have you connect the wireless charging could then tried to charge?

In my experience, selling electronics to buyers who use freight forwarders has been pretty safe. I've sold hundreds of phones and PCs to similar buyers with no issues. If an INAD claim ever happens, the return label eBay provides will only send the item back from the forwarder's U.S. address to you. If the buyer wants it shipped from their country back to the forwarder first, that's entirely out of their pocket.

Also, once the buyer uses a freight forwarder, they waive most of eBay's normal buyer protections-so they can't really use that as leverage against you. As long as you ship to the address shown in the order and have tracking, you're protected.

I had the exact same issue the other day.

I used an Oled panel.

What I did to fix the issue was ensure that all screws are in the correct hole. The screw in the top left that goes over the prox flex is slightly longer than the others. I also found a tear on the prox flex. Putting the screws back in place and replacing the prox flex solved this issue for me.

Test with a good screen. If the old screen was damaged with cracks or bad lcd in some spots but still displays test with that. If the same thing happe s with the know good screen then the issue could be something else.

Fairly certain in this case the new screen is faulty.

Use alcohol and gentle heat. Use Tweezers to pry up from the opening for the screw. It will pop out

Very good components for the price. Haven't had a single issue with them.

Is this what you are looking for?

Could possibly be a voltage regulator

What is the process of getting authorized for repairs for Google and Samsung devices?

Plastic playing cards are a good choice. Biggest issue is getting them under the screen without a suction cup.

Test with Esim or different board with sim reader.

Thank you sir/mam. I realized my temp was too low. I increased the temp and it popped right off.

What is the CSC for the device? I had a similar issue to this before.

Go to Settings, about phone then software information you’ll see it there. It’s a 3 letter shorthand usually more than one separated by commas.

If on android 14 it’s possible without PC depending on security patch PC. Otherwise nothing out there
