[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theistus:
Just wanted to let you guys know my experience with this issue.

Just started to get this screen flickering and going to black issue, totally out of the blue. Phone had been in my pocket all night, but when I pulled it out it turned, but then screen blanked out, even though i could tell the phone was still on. Curiously enough, my vibrator (giggity) also stopped working. Opened up my phone, popped out the mobo and removed the heatshields, and it was pretty obvious that there is a blown capacitor from visual inspection under a magnifying glass. According to the service manual, this capacitor (and the one next to it) are the capacitors that make the power rail for the graphics chip.

As I'm sure you know, you can't test a capacitor while it still in the circuit, but it was dark brown whereas the identical cap next it is still ivory white.

Now, I need this phone, so i was unwilling to fire up my smd soldering station and work on the board, but i might do so at a later date. it;s possible there are other fried components, and the capacitor is just the most obvious one. But in my case, the flickering to blank issue had nothing to do with cables or cameras or ports on the mobo it seems, though there may be multiple causes for the same symptoms. So use your eyes and meatware to do a proper troubleshooting before following random advice to cook your mobo.

I *was* able to make a work around though - I underclocked the GPU. I also put a thermal pad between the cpu (screen facing side of mobo) which cut temps down a good deal. And the phone seems to running okay now, though the battery does drain faster it seems like, and I don;t know how long it will run like this with a ****ed up power rail putting out the wrong voltage.

Anyway, if people are interested in video of how to reflow solder on smd mobos, check out Louis Rossman's videos on youtube, since the OP deleted theirs.

And if anyone is interested in getting a new G3 motherboard, you can get them on ali express for about $60. I just ordered one. I was considering getting a new phone, but aborted when i found these. Will report back when I get it and install it. I like this phone a lot, and it has a great screen, plenty of ram, and does everything I need it to, so I figured why spend $800 on a Pixel XL when I can just get my phone back for $60.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tscollins2002:
After having my LG G3 D851 for more then two years this problem happened to me. I have access to a heating gun so set the temp for 180F and held it over the CPU for four minutes, I then cut two smaller squares out of the Arctic Thermal Pad (50x50mm thickness 0.5MM) put a little bit of thermal compound paste on one side of each pad, one pad went on to the CPU directly and the other to the case. The screen use to flicker and then go black less then a minute after turning it on but now seems fine. I did order some liquid flux so I might at some point open it back up and apply it to the areas that zayidhs suggested but for now things are working. One other note; when I first bought this phone I went ahead and got the ZeroLemon 9000mAh Extended battery which comes with a rugged case which of course accommodates the larger battery and with this setup I never had heating problems but about three or four months back I decide to switch back to the original battery with no case. Ever since I switched back I could feel how hot this phone can get at times so now I've decided to go back to the ZeroLemon battery & case which I think helps keep the temps down or it could just be that the case is so big and thick that I do not feel the heat. I really only need this phone to last me a few more months until there are more 600MHz capable phones available for me to choose from.

[Networking] TestDriver89:
Hi at all! I'm new on this forum, so I hope I didn't break any rule. Anyway, I'm trying to recover a friend's phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) International Version.

He said he installed a rom called "Android Revolution HD", which appears to be an improved version of the stock rom. Anyway, now the phone does not register on the network.

The IMEI in the settings menu is correct, also the signal appears to be ok, but when I try to select a network, the phone does not register.

So, I tried almost all the solutions I have found on this site, from trying a bunch of different modems, to installing the whole stock ROM (Android 4.3).

But none of these worked. So, there is a real solution I can try?

Thanks in advance!

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi XDA Community!

I can find information to about almost single topic, but the big problem is, i dont know where exactly to start with and the correct order of all of these steps.

What i wanna do is, like on a pc, format the whole phone, delete everything and set up a custom rom and root the phone.

My first step was trying to root it because i dont know if the root is related to the OS or to the phone kernel.....

I tried the CF-Autoroot procedure from XDA-Forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 but i experience the same issue as many other users. When i click start the process starts, but gets stuck immediately when it comes to the imaging step. Then i get no response from my phone or Odin anymore, the bar wont process for hours.

I tried different USB ports, same result. But i can exchange data from phone OS to pc via USB without problems !

So im kind of thrown back now and i dont know what to do or where to start. Can anyone help me ?

5 Years ago i cooked a rom for my Sony Xperia X1 and put it on my phone without any problems lol, and now with Samsung i get only problems.....

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dquelhas:
Hi all, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I dropped it on the floor. On the outside, the phone is fine but when I try to restart it, it gets stuck on the splash screen as per this picture [IMG="Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Splash screen"]http://dinisquelhas.com/images/helpWithSGN3/photo1.jpg[/IMG]

So, I researched XDA forums and someone suggested pressing the Home+Power+Volume up. When I do it, it just enters a loop vibrating every 10 secs (approximately) with a black screen as per this picture [IMG="Samsung Galaxy Note 3"]http://dinisquelhas.com/images/helpWithSGN3/photo2.jpg[/IMG]

Continued researching XDA forums and found another post telling me to try pressing Home+Power+Volume down to enter an emergency menu. I did so and got the following screen with 2 options (Continue or cancel). I chose continue [IMG="Samsung Galaxy Note 3"]http://dinisquelhas.com/images/helpWithSGN3/photo3.jpg[/IMG]

When I pressed the volume button up, it showed me the following screen, and stayed there for at least 10 minutes [IMG="Samsung Galaxy Note 3"]http://dinisquelhas.com/images/helpWithSGN3/photo4.jpg[/IMG]

This reminded me I tried to install a new ROM about 2 years ago (this was my first Android phone), didn't work, but the phone worked well until I dropped it, 2 years after I tried installing a new ROM!

So, I tried repeating the same steps, but this time cancel it. It was stuck in the splash screen again.

In the meantime, I got myself a new phone and the only thing I want to do is to recover the pictures and videos I had in the Note 3.

When I connect the Galaxy Note 3 to my laptop using the original cable, when it's stuck on the splash screen, the laptop doesn't recognize the device and therefore doesn't read the content. The same applies if I press Home+Power+Volume up or Volume down.

What are my options? Is it possible to recover the phone maintaining the contents? Is there a physical device I can use to recover the data (ie. dismantle the phone and read the "hard drive" directly)?

Any help will be very appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftnoon2:
It seems a hardware problem, 'cause it occurs after a shock.

But, before going to panic or to pay a repair, you can try to extract the battery (though maybe it was already got off the phone on the fall).

Wait a minute or so, then re-connect the battery, restart the phone and pray...

Try again the Recovery mode : the home >vol up>power buttons (press Power as the last button). If you enter recovery, make a Factory reset.

If not Recovery, go to download mode, as your 3rd photo. Flash a STOCK firmware, this will not change your Knox.

It is all I can say about. Maybe another more expert member can give you better advice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dquelhas:
Still no joy

Hi afternoon2 - thank you for your help. I have removed the battery and restarted the phone 1 million times. Unfortunately, it never progressed beyond the splash screen.

When I go into recovery mode (Home+Power+Volume up) it goes into vibrating cycle but never displays anything on the screen as described.

Any other suggestions folks?

Hi gad42000 - thank you for the suggestions. Nope, when I plug in the phone via USB I can't see the phone on the laptop and therefore can't access any of the folders.

Hi audit13 - thanks for clarifying. Do you have any other suggestions on how to retrieve data?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Recuva if you can connect .

Or a Data Recovery Service may help but expensive .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftnoon2:
What do you mean by "data". Your media, photos, etc, or the apps data?

My advice is to enter download mode, flash through Odin stock firmware and see what you get. Pick up the know how in the "General" forum of this device.

If success, you will not lose your media data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you can get the phone recognized by the computer, you could flash twrp, boot into twrp, mount the data partition, and copy the data to the computer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dquelhas:
Hi JJEgan - thank you for the suggestion. Any chance I can dismantle the phone and read the drive (ie. like the ones you connect hard drives to and mount as a USB)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvino.:
If the computer read the device, then he can recover not only the media but also the whole device by flashing it's latest firmware via Odin!

Apart from what flashing the firmware wipes .

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] macschwag14:
Is it possible for the Nexus 7 to burn out chargers and cables? I've never known of a device to do this but my daughter's tablet has burned through at least chargers and cables in about the past six months. Each time the charger stops working on her tablet, it also no longer chargers any other Android device. I'm not quite sure what's going on here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
A permanent N7 fault can damage poorly designed chargers but not cables. As the problem is intermittent and both cables and chargers fail, it is most likely that N7 is used while being charged. Constant bending and twisting results in a cable short circuit which also damages the charger.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ssenemosewa:
Might also be a short in the mini USB connector on the tablet.

You might want to try wireless charging and avoid using the port entirely.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
It is actually a

micro

USB connector - what could be occasionally shorting there? But more importantly, is it possible for a short in the connector to repeatedly burn out USB cables (the OP's question)?

Let's check it out. I experimented on the weakest USB cable I could find - from a wired mouse, which is very thin because normally it needs to carry only a few mA of power supply current. I cut a single wire strand from the red, power, multi-strand cable (#1) and connected it to a regulated 3A power supply (#2). At 2A it was slightly warm, at 3A it was warm (#3). I suppose it would burn out at 5A and let's assume that 2A is the max safe current. As the red wire has 7 strands, then the max safe current is 14A and projected burn out current is 35A.

The 2m long cable has power path resistance of around 1ohm, so the max possible current from a 5V source is only 5A - well below the safe limit. A 1m long cable, shorted at the N7 USB connector could deliver max 10A - still below the safe, really conservative 14A cable limit. And we are talking about a lousy USB cable from a wired mouse - you can double the limits for quality USB power cables.

Can you see the implications? It does not matter how powerful the charger is because the cable's internal resistance prevents it from burning out - EVER (@5V of course).

Can you imagine what 10A current could do to a shorted N7 connector? The heat and smoke would surely be reported by the OP.

Finally, the original N7 charger delivers below 2A and most cheap replacements below 1A anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ssenemosewa:
True. My bad. Was typing quickly.

Actually, the OP's question was "Is it possible for the Nexus 7 to burn out chargers and cables?"

Your analysis of the heating of USB cables, while interesting, isn't really applicable here. I'm betting that it's the chargers that are being overloaded and burned out. I'm also betting that the connector on the tablet is damaged and might be damaging the connector of any cable pushed into it.

I had this exact problem with a Lenovo tablet. The pins on the connector got bent out of shape and burned up several chargers until I discovered it. I messed up the connectors on a few cables as well.

That's why I specifically searched for and purchased a tablet that offers wireless charging capability. Those Micro USB connectors are quite fragile and easy to break. The less use they get, the better.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aganar:
I've charged my nexus 7 wirelessly since day one. Wireless chargers can be found for cheap, certainly cheaper than the combined cost of your burned out cables.

In my two years of owning the tablet, I've physically plugged it in maybe three times. Usually if I'm traveling and didn't feel like packing the wireless charger and opted to just use my phone charger instead.
