[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Is it completely dead? No 9008 mode?

Please check battery voltage again and purposefully enter the 9008 mode by pressing all the three buttons simultaneously. If you can not enter the mode then your mobo is bad indeed. Note that 9008 should work without LCD and even with the battery dead or disconnected.

This cheap tester is very useful in mobo diagnostics. Please check charger current draw with and without battery (in 9008).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
No, the device still powers on, but no display. I can still get into 9008 mode by holding 3 buttons till it shuts off.

.46 amps powered on in android plugged into wall adapter, seems a little low, because my LG g3 draws 1.4 and it is a phone.

fluctuates between .16 and .2 without battery, again plugged into wall adapter
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Your mobo seems OK, I measure similar current draws, but the fact that 2 LCDs do not work with it is worrisome. If you have not returned the first LCD, please check and compare resistance to the second LCD on the power supply track - I measure between 200k and 230k depending on polarity.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
Still 13-14M ohms on both screens power track.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
So it is either near open-circuit (bad) or you measure something else. Please disconnect the plug and on the cable's side measure resistance between the first and last pin......

(while the battery is disconnected ;) )​
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
if you mean these[IMG="LCD connector bottom 2 pins"]http://i.imgur.com/YjLgb3Q.jpg[/IMG] two pins then 1.033M ohms

if you mean these [IMG="top 2 pins"]http://i.imgur.com/zzhUOYy.jpg[/IMG]two pins then 3.3M ohms

The ones on the ribbon cable are 3.7M ohms, I guess those pins connect to the backlight power rail?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
When the plug is disconnected, measure it on the plug's pins connecting to the pictured mobo socket pins. I don't have a pin-side picture of the plug. The top pin connects LCD power supply circuits to the battery, the bottom connects to N7 ground. It is the easiest way of measuring it without removing the daughterboard or touching the LCD PCB.

Do you still have the cracked screen? Does it display anything? Is the backlight OK? If so, then you can make conclusive tests and verify the mobo.

If not, perhaps a cheap mobo may be worth considering too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
I get 1M ohms on the pins you mentioned. The bottom pin to ground is like 1 ohm, so that is good. The battery is unplugged, but camera and daughterboard are in.

Unfortunately I trashed the old LCD trying to do glass only. I remember it was kind of finnicky when I tested it halfway through taking off the glass though.

I will probably just end up picking up a new board for $30, but I may just wait till the n7 2016 and buy that.

If you want, I can send you the screwed up board, I think most of it is good. Its 32gb hynix emmc rev 1.4
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
1M is too high, the displays are damaged. Are they from the same supplier? Please post a high-res picture of the components area for future comparison and reference. I attached one from eBay, not sure if it is original, and will photograph mine on the next deep disassembly occasion :D

I'd love to have the board but shipping cost from US to AU is crazy and more expensive than a working, used N7 mobo!

:highfive:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
Oh you mean measure the resistance of the pins on the male side of the ribbon cable, like when it is connected to the display but not mobo? I thought you meant measure the pins on the motherboard female side of the connection, since you said pull the battery. I am getting 8.6M ohms consistently on both displays, and yes both are from the same supplier on ebay. They have pretty good feedback and are the only one shipping from usa.

images of LCD PCB

http://imgur.com/a/iCQVk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
8.6M is even worse. Thank you a lot for the pictures. If the displays were initially OK then we have to assume that the motherboard is faulty. It has visible signs of damage from the impact and its power regulation circuits may be unstable. We will advise other users to do an inspection of the bottom side of the motherboard after a screen damage :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
OK,so if I get a new mobo, will it work with my existing daughterboard, or will it have to be calibrated like some people say? I may just wait till the n7 2016 and buy that if not, it better not be crazy expensive :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
The calibration data is saved on or near ELAN controller chip on the daughterboard, not on the mobo, so no problem there, but note that changing lcd/digitizer

may

actually require calibration.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
Oh OK, thanks. I think I will just sell the daughter board and frame and battery separately and hopefully make up most of the $85 I spent on the entire thing ;) I've seen daughter boards for like 60 on amazon and the frame can be like 20

I am curious where all of you are buying your axon 7 from. I preordered on Amazon ( ion gold). I know there are deals elsewhere that give freebies when buying the axon 7. I just prefer Amazon. How about you all?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
B&h because of no tax and 75$ gc and 2 day free shipping
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
BestBuy.

Just getting over my wedding and honeymoon, so the wallet is still recovering but I have a line of credit with BestBuy.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] biglilsteve:
Newegg is the place to be. Free headphones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nibiru2012:
B&H Photo because of great customer service, wireless headset and $75 gift card plus the 2 day expedited shipping!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] daryllh:
Newegg. Will sell the headphones to offset total phone cost.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
How about custom fees?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
no idea I'm in the USA
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jbrookley:
Well, crap. Looks like Newegg changed the headphones from the $200 ones to the $50 ones and B&H now is only offering a $25 gift card rather than a $75 card. Are they both just pulling a bait and switch or were those other deals only for yesterday?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nutzuTo:
Really, I checked newegg and is the same headphones
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:
B&H all day! (Unless someone comes out and beats their preorder deal)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
looks like the same headphones but newegg just has them on sale for $50. Face it no one would probly pay $100 for those anyway lol...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonnyt:
I jumped the gun and pre-ordered from ZTE. Wished I have waited for Newegg's headphone deal. I chose quartz grey so hopefully by then ZTE would already made the decision to allow unlocking bootloader.

ZTE, please listen to developer community!

No, they're actually different headphones.

Ohh hmm oh well. That sucks man. Idk about everyone else but those links didnt work for me and take me to a sorry website on amazon showing the dogs of amazon saying sorry lol weird

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Yeah ill probly return it if they dont unlock the BL withing my return window and it comes 8/17 baring New Nexus News lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jbrookley:
Yeah, I don't know what the deal is. I posted links directly from Amazon but it keeps cutting them down. If you go to amazon and search for "Monster DJ", there are two different versions. Either that or one is intentionally overpriced but yesterday, it had a different description of the headphones. I don't know, something about both deals being reduced puts me off preordering altogether so I'm going to pass on the preorder, I think.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
its probly just them price matching each other really or possibly ZTE said okay for the first 500 preorders you get this is the price we will sell them to you, you can throw in extras to get them to sell at full cost but after that thats it. So they both sold all their discounted preorders and readjusted the freebies. Both seem to give you $50 in freebies now with neweggs $50 headphones and B&H with a $25 gc and $25 samsung headset.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] max1001:
NE since no taxes for NYC.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GCbard:
just made some calls. B&H said their first intake of the gold axon 7's will be the day of or before pre-order. They said they were getting 100 of them. I ordered one on B&H on 7/18. I was number 230. They said my order would be fulfilled on the second round of shipments which would be one to two weeks after release. I called ZTE and they said all orders will be shipped the day of release. I canceled my B&H order and ordered through ZTE, today, 7/19.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ksoze:
First off, I do realize that the quoted $200 price is MSRP and nobody really willingly pays that price. Secondly, highly doubt these are $200 headphones - both price and quality.

With that said - I don't think they "swapped" headphones? Maybe its just a discount on the white colour? When I check the Newegg page, the same N-Pulse headphone is still listed.

If you look at the Amazon page, the white version shows up for $55, while the Black version is still $200. https://www.amazon.com/Monster-NCre...TF8&qid=1468948034&sr=8-5&keywords=monster+dj

Up here in Canada, the Black version is selling for $99 CAD on Amazon.ca.

I think its always been those headphones and i originally ordered from newegg but switched to b&h when the $75 deal popped up

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ksoze:
Are you still getting the $75 even though they've reduced the amount to $25 on the pre-order page? Doesn't matter to me, since the Gift card won't be sent out to Canadian addresses...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] force70:
If your Canadian like me its actually a little cheaper to order from BH than newegg.ca. in this case its only about $5 so not a big deal deal but still it should not be cheaper to buy from the US than in my own country.

I order alot of stuff from the US...car parts,bodybuilding supplements, phone stuff etc etc...and its almost always cheaper (and sometimes significantly so) to my door to order from the US even with our crap exchange rate, shipping, duty etc than from within canada.

Canadian retailers suck pretty much,ill spend my money outside of Canada before I get ripped off by greedy local retailers lol.

Sent from my Note 5 or S6
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nutzuTo:
I preferred newegg.ca , I know is 5$ difference but I like those monster over the ear headphones I don't like the samsung ones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] PolishDude:
Yup, shows the $75 in my order summary. Unlike newegg it added the two items to the total and just subtracted them out so I can see the headphones and the gift card on my summary

B&H &75 gift card which will be a gift to my GF, headphones which I have plenty of but why not and for some reason they did not charge me tax, which they should of for my state. So that was a $32 savings there.

Sadly, they don't ship outside the UK.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Prozart:
I'm still debating on whether to preorder or not due to the bootloader situation, but if I do it'll probably be from B&H. No taxes plus the gift card, which is only showing as $25 for me. ]=
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] biglilsteve:
Same here. I'd love to grab this phone and give my OP3 to my girlfriend to upgrade her N5X. Just worried about being stuck with ZTE's funky UI.

I would be fine with just waiting for the 2016 Nexus, but the current renders are very unoriginal, Apple-inspired, and show no dual front speakers :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Prozart:
Yeah my wife still has a OnePlus One so it's definitely time for an upgrade for her. But I made the mistake of getting a phone with no development options before and I won't make that mistake again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Jose-MXL:
What number and/or department did you called on B&H? I couldn't get any single piece of information and I even got a nasty answer about not disclosing any order queue information nor how many phones they are getting, let alone get close to know if my order would be fulfilled on the first round.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GCbard:
It was normal customer service. Landed on the right guy. Or I was fed a lot of malarkey......
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] r3xx3r:
I pre-ordered it from Newegg Business through my company account. They have the earliest release date listed, there is no tax, and the headphones look decent.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Technoboi:
Sorry I missed the B&H deal when it was a $75 GC.

However, I am concerned whether B&H will be able to ship all those who bought gold. Someone said they indicated they only have 100 units initially?

I also ordered on the 19th from ZTE came with that flip case which I could use. Already have "hi-res" pioneer headphones I bought about a month back so. I was surprised I made it into the first 500 orders.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] markwebb:
Amazon: just so easy to return anything. Instant refunds. Not really interested in the headphones as I have so many and it would have been nice for the gift card, but I don't buy that much from BH. Though BH has a 30 day return policy, one must postmark the return 10 days after receiving the RMA which really isn't 30 days.

This RMA must be postmarked within 10 days from when it is issued.

Amazon is better at returns and they send a prepaid shipping label which BH Photo doesn't cover.. As soon as UPS scans the return, that same day I get a notice Amazon is processing the refund and most times it is completed before it even docks at Amazon return center.

Amazon is guaranteeing delivery next day on 7/28.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nibiru2012:
My choice is the Quartz Gray phone, the look is just great.

I was going to order from B&H but they changed the game with those Samsung on-ear buds headphone and the $25 gift card.

So I'm probably going to go with Newegg. Those Monster headphones have some nice specs and if I don't like them I'll be able to sell them and recoup some of my investment

I was considering Amazon, but either I didn't pay attention or whatever, but the Quartz Gray are not listed on the website.

I could have sworn the Quartz Gray was listed a week ago or so. Am I losing my mind? :confused:

I have an Amazon Prime membership which has some added benefits regarding returns and such.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Doesn't that just mean once you've requested a return you have to put it in the mail within 10 days? So say your at day 25 and ask for a return. They give you a email and you just have to have it in the mail within 10 days? Lol sounds good to me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] markwebb:
Yes, that is correct but I think If you are at 25 day mark it doesn't extend it 10 more days because the 30 day return clock already started from date of purchase. If you want to return an item say a day or two after purchase then you lose on full 30 day return period. At least with Amazon I can return on day 29 or 30 since the ups scan immediately notifies amazon.

Not a real big deal overall mind you , but I feel more comfortable with a wider return window. ;)

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nickcaper:
Im not buying from BestBuy. They are shady. Charge people restock fees. In fact, I returned a XboxONE, they tried to get me to sign a waiver that had very little info but I had it clarified by BestBuy corp headquarters that it is indeed a waiver which voids ALL future purchases from ever being returned for any reason! So, BestBuy will NEVER get my business again.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
I've never had an issue with them. I've returned a few devices with no restock fee. Experiences vary when dealing with customer service anywhere. Also, the waiver you mentioned sounds like it was not BestBuy policy at all. In fact, I'm certain that would not be allowed due to manufacturer warranties and whatnot.

Now this is an important point.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
This is by no means a confirmation but a search I did on the ZTE community site showed a thread saying that any certified retailer for the Axon 7 will have Passport. Hope it's true.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nickcaper:
Um

You think Im just making this up? Manufacture warranties got nothing to do with a return at a store.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Its a shame that only USA gets this warranty, would be nice if us in the UK had the same service too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
If it came off that way, I apologize. I was just saying that does not sound like BestBuy policy. Maybe an overzealous employee/manager. In most cases BestBuy has a two week no questions ask return policy.

Some manufacturers ensure you can return it to the store you purchased it from and honor their warranty before allowing them to be a certified retailer.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] borisb:
This got nothing to do with the passport warranty.

By far, unlocked phones that are handled by Amazon (not by a dealer on Amazon) is the least stressful way to buy a phone... 30 day return and I typically get the refund back before it even arrives at their return center... gift certificates and free headphones are nice but having the return flexibility is awesome :good:
