I'm no novice for phone repair. I've worked on every generation of Iphone, S3-S6, and the Note 2 and 3 along with a handful of HTC and Motorola phones. I was a little intimidated by the daughterboard replacement because I didn't want to risk getting a new screen when I still have the factory screen in my Note4. Thanks to your tutorial I'm more confident in this repair. Thank you very much!
Jerry, 1st off thanks for doing this video..it is much more concise than others I watched, you speak clearly and describe things well, with confidence. Unlike that guy (android blah blah),, not sure what I am doing, etc. scary.. Ok, so here is my question for you, or any viewers(or phone repair professionals): I dropped my Samsung Note 4, face down with no cover or protection, other than a thin flimsy screen protector (cheap one) the screen had a hairline crack, very thin and about 3 inches long ..all the buttons still worked , and the phone rings, but I had no display.. I ordered a lcd/digitizer/glass from a phone repair store,, and it was guess what CRACKED, either they sent me junk, or it was damaged during shipping.. in any case, that one has a smaller crack than mine, and the phone was already apart.. I connected it, and I have the same issue,, touch screen SEEMS to work, but has no backlight.. so I ask is backlight a separate issue? or is there is even slight damage, do they not light up? thanks in advance..
NJtrainer With Samsung screens the back light is built into the LED. So if the LED ever cracks, there is a good chance that the backlight will go out with it. It sounds like you should send back the one you bought, and tell them how it arrived. If you need new replacement parts, check in the video description for my suppliers.
I needed this....Home button on my Note 4 went out as well as charging port...I feel more confident that I can do the repairs myself now after seeing this tutorial vid...Thanks JerryRigEverything for this vid...take care
This is soooo coolll to watch, because i bought a Note 4 this week, and i´m trying to restore it, i wonder though, will i´t scratch at level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7? 🤔 Thks, and greetings from Argentina! Big Fan of your chanel!😁
Great video.... However I noticed how you edited and shorten the video @ 6:19 where you connected the touch & LCD connections to the back of the main board. I'm stuck there. What's the best way to get them connected?
Finally I found a very precise and clear audio .,I love your channel its like gadgets friendly user,, great explanation., the only one made for human..thanks
Thanks! My son baptized his Note 4, and I just needed to get the case off to let it dry. Thanks to your tip about using the heat gun, I did so without tearing the foam adhesive strip.
Had to replace the screen and while getting the broken one off, I managed to rip the 'back-button' (right hand button) so had to replace the USB-port too. Thanks to you, it all works now! ☺ (y)
Thank you so much for this video. This is very informative. I dropped my phone in the toilet but I got it out quickly and tried to dry it as much as I can. The phone still works, but the speaker is obviously damaged. Which part would you recommend to replace the speaker? I tried to replace the midframe (with a new attached loudspeaker in it), but that did not help. Hope you can help. Thank you.
Very helpful video, Could you tell me how many water indicators are in the Note 4? I know of the one on the battery and under the battery on the phone itself. any others?
Thanks for the clip. It was very informative, however I was hoping you'd cover the EMMC part or at least show where this is located. Please can you advise?
i feel very old now notice the year this is made and the fact that i have a note 4 in 2016, Nice video man, so much to do just to replace the charging port, as you was removing the the home button scanner, i was thinking could it be switch out for a note 5 home button/scanner?
Hello. a great video and I really appreciate how clear you make things. My Note 4 is cold dead and I don't think it's a charging port issue because a local shop tried a new battery and it won't boot up. Any suggestions of what to replace? Or should I just sell it for scraps. It's in beautiful cosmetic condition otherwise.
Jerry, first of all, thank you very much for your video! I came upon it searching how to replace parts on my SM-N910C, and yours was completely in-depth, which is nice! I have a question, my friend: I lost my IMEI through some flashing of ROMs, and someone suggested that I replace the motherboard to get a new IMEI. Would replacing the motherboard work - and, if so, where can I find one? Is there anything else that I should replace?
Hi "Jerry", How do you look at the mother board replacement? any issues? e.g. with IMEI or something? How would you believe motherboards from ebay? I guess custom ROM after such replacement ins necessary, do i need some special tools or can it be done like normal ROM flash like on 1+*
HI there. since last week my home button started to not respond. very weird the finger scanner works fine but the button just doesn't respond. it's like 2 hours it works and then it doesn't. what you think I should do? even when the home button doesn't work the finger scanner works fine. any ideas? and that was a very clear video. probably the best I've seen in a long long time
hello, i just wondered, is it nessesery to use dobblesided tape between the kopper foil and the plate? Im just wondering bacause it looks like it does not have a tecnical purpose, i just think it would be much easyer to go in and out of the phone if you just dropped the tape.
8 mins to cover so many parts. junk toturial video. find others with proper step by step of 1 part only. you will get better insights and hopefully get your phone fixed and not broken more.
Question: For the previous models such as the Note 3. The frame for the verizon and sprint models are identical, as well as t-mobile and at&t models. With the note 4, people are saying that the sprint frame version does not fit on the verizon one, basically making the CDMA versions non interchangeable. Is this true? Or can we still use the Sprint Version on the Verizon phone? Thank you
I was wondering if the charging port assembly is carrier specific? I notice on ebay that there are those pieces for sale but for Att sprint and verizon do you know if they HAVE TO BE carrier specific??? thanks in advance.
great video, thanks, do you have any idea where to get hold of a new back frame for the note 4, none of the sights seem to have it... Thanks for your help, massively! Merry Christmas
Nice video so I saw you when you worked on that zj and after watching a few phone guides I realized you are the same person lol. Great work all around so I have to ask any more zj, Jeep, or building videos?
I ‘successfully’ replaced my screen however the new screen doesn’t work. The first time I restarted the phone, I cut it on without the s pen foil installed because I didn’t see it under the old screen. Does s pen foil provides like electrical grounding? Phone works fine connected to tv. Should I buy a new screen or could it be a motherboard problem even though everything except black display works perfect?
Does the home button ribbon cord serve any purpose? is it for fingerprint stuff? question being, my cable ripped. if All i need is the home key just to press, does it really need the cable. thats all
Hey, I know this video is already old, but it brought me some great insight on how the Note4 is built. So thank you for that. I also like that Lego comparison ;) I have a serious question though. I have a Note4 in front of me which suffers from random reboots and sometimes losing data, e.g. reboots and wants to make a new setup. I have sent it in for repairs, but the shop told me they cannot get a hold of the spare parts needed. They tried to replace the motherboard. The question I want to ask is: Do you know a good place where I can get this? I am sure I can exchange the board myself, but I want a quality part of course. Perhaps you can help me with this endeavour. Thanks in advance for any response.
+JerryRigEverything I followed your steps but my screen is not turning on. Could you tell me if the torn copper film is responsible for it or that is for s-pen? Phone is getting charged and the capacitive buttons are also lighting up and it is giving a vibration when I swipe the home button(for fingerprint sensor) but the screen is not lighting up. Please let me know at the earliest. Thank you.
Inspect your display panel for any hairline cracks (not the screen, the LCD under it). If it has so much as a microscopic crack, it will malfunction, or fail altogether. If there are no cracks, check that the ribbon cables are sufficiently connected to the motherboard.
Do you have a link for purchasing just the back of the phone for a white Galaxy note 4? Also do you have a link for just the front glass? Just the outside glass not the entire display? Great video by the way thanks a lot.
Jason L You want just the back door that closes over the battery? Send me an email (Found on the 'about' page of my channel), and I'll send you a link to one, I plan on making a 'Glass Only' video for the note 4 in the next week or so, so sit tight for that. Ill send you a link to 'just the glass' in the email you send me.
Hi, I have to change the charging port. I liked how you explain. How do you take off the part of the screen and do it with the debit card ... after changing the piece, and everything is assembled again ... when I place the screen, it must be pasted around the frame again ..? what does it stick with? Thank you . Regards
First off, thanks for the detailed, yet straight to the point video. I used it to replace my home button but it still doesn't work. The finger print scanner works(as it did before the repair) but the home button press is unresponsive. Any ideas?
Thanks for the very helpful video. I noticed that the Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3, and Note 4 (perhaps others) have their own specific charging port model. Why is that? I've used a Sprint charging port on the Verizon S4, S5, and Note 4 motherboards, and it seems to work fine. What's different about these carrier specific charging port boards? Also, I've just done my first couple of Note 4's. After reassembling both units, it looks like the S-Pen is unresponsive (can't write on screen), but both phones detect when the S-Pen is removed and replaced from its slot. Can you tell me what I may be missing here? Also, what's the easiest way of putting the motherboard back into a new housing without having to separate the AMOLED screen from the middle frame? I believe the only reason this needs to be done is if you need to replace the charging port or if you want to make sure the 2 ribbon cables at the top is securely attached to the board. Is there an easier way to attach the 2 ribbon cables at the top? Thanks again for your tutorials!!! Very helpful indeed!
I'm planning on getting a note 4 soon and I have a quick question pal. If I ever dropped it and deeply scrapped the sides and bezel permanently could it be replaced because in this video it looks like it's part of the back. Cheers bud :)
I'm replacing a charging port because the recent apps button has a damaged flex cable. The entire screen assembly is good but my concern is removing it from the midframe without tearing the stylus flex ribbon cable (the big copper foil adhered to the midframe). Can you link to where I can purchase the stylus flex ribbon cable and even better, show how to replace the usb charging port and two flex buttons without damaging the existing stylus flex cable? Or is it just inevitable that the stylus flex ribbon cable will be damaged during this process?
a silly reaction here but i have a question cant you use the homebutton of the note 5 or the s6 on this phone because the fingerprint scanner is better in those phones
Thank you for this video, I have a phone Samsung Galaxy note 4 and screen work but the outer frame of the screen broken Question Can I just change the outside glass or must change the whole screen ???
After ordering through repair universe they started texting me and emailing me requesting a photo of my credit card with the first 3 groups of numbers blocked out. It sounded suspicious to me so now I am trying to cancel my order but I am having a hard time contacting someone on the phone. I recommend ordering your parts someplace else. Good video though. Also, there are black screws holding down the usb board and the Main circuit board that are not mentioned in the video
Don't forget to keep the camera window clean of fingerprints. I thought I was doing swell. Replaced the SIM card reader, the USB charging port and the home button. I tried to reboot it to test the components by just plugging in the screen before reassembly. Bummer no boot screen. Just a blue flashing light and the vibration buzzer chiming start. So my guess is that I was too rough on the mother board when I attached the charging port wire harness. I heard a click while I was trying to attach the harness. I did not heed your advise to remove the board first. I ended up doing it the way you said but I think that is why it won't boot.
Can you advise me on what to do based on the following circumstance? My Note 4 started intermittently failing to turn off or on when pressing the power button. Finally it failed permanently after a battery change and of course it's in the off position. I replaced the power/volume/vibrate component but that didn't solve the problem. What do you recommend that I do/replace?
JerryRigEverything I have three batteries, the Samsung original and two after market batteries. I've tried to turn it on with two of them but not the third. I'll try that next. The charging port DOES allow the phone to charge, I think. However now that you mention it something has changed about charging the battery while it's in the phone. The large battery symbol that should appear on the screen while it's charging does not do so any longer. A green light does appear in the upper lefthand corner of the phone though, after the battery has reached 100% charge. At least I'm assuming that's what the green light means. I'll charge the battery inside the phone and then take it out and plug it into the base charger and see if it reads 100% charged. Is it likely that the mainboard is bad? Is that fairly common? Have you ever heard of that happening? Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
It could be that something with the charging port is messing up. That would explain the lack of 'battery charging' indication. Its really hard to say though. Charging port would be my first guess... but if the phone is semi functioning right now, I wouldnt risk opening it up until stops working completely and you have no other option. (Just keep all your stuff backed up.)
Just cracked my Note 4 Camera glass. Do you sell the replacement parts for this? Would love a video. Apparently a bunch of people are having this issue with the camera glass.
Josh Cota I have some suppliers that I get parts from regularly, but no one has it yet. I imagine they will have some in the next month or 2. It is a VERY easy repair. And cheap... less than 10 bucks. But we have to wait for the part to be released.
Man, I love this video! My note 4 just went black screen and does not display anything. I can answer calls with the home button, I can even unlock the pattern blindly. what do you think is the problem need help
so if you use the hot air gun to melt the rubber or glue around the frame of the screen. would you need to get more glue or something to make it stick back. the rubber or glue thats around the frame thats whats holds it in place right????
Just successfully replaced my note 4 charging port. thanks. Home button is a bit wobbly when I put the phone back together but didnt break the screen which is the most important part and the phone now charges
Thanks for the video, I can't get the power button off past the adhesive part. When I get to the panel between the motor and the power button, it's stuck. Where should I put force?
I had my note 4 fixed(replaced the LCD and touch screen digitizer assembly). Now the Wi-Fi and blue tooth no longer work. Could the Coaxial connector be to blame?
Can I change the whole display unit with fingerprint sensor and just leave the original motherboard in the phone. I can get the parts from a old phone. Or will I have problems with the used fingerprint sensor or so?
My Note 4 is not charging, beacuse I poured a little bit Redbull in the Micro-USB Port. Now it takes me an hour to find the loading spot. Do you think I need to replace the Charging-Port or do something else. Nice Video!
Great video and much better than that one that someone else made that was 44 min long! I cracked my back camera glass and I finally got the replacement (it was back ordered) - even though it was just the glass that broke I bought the entire camera, just in case. It was $33 in total with shipping. Question - I do not have a hot gun, would a hair dryer suffice? For those who want to know where I got the camera it was from parts4repair.com
Did you have a hard time putting the phone back together? I got a replacement camera too but now my phone wont power on. I've watched the video a million times and reassembled the mother board like 20 times!
Hey, my screen cracked but the LCD and touch still works. Is there a way of replacing the screen without LCD? I bought a screen though realised it did not have the 'Lego' wires after - could I use my old screen connectors to attach them together? thank you Kathrina
Hi, I replaced the power, volume and home button and changer port all at once. Everything works now but the touch screen. Any idea what to check? Never had that problem before. S pen also still works, just not touch.
I have a question. ...for some reason the back light on the "back button" of my note 4, no longer lights up. It used to, before I opened to make repairs. Every other button lights up fine and eveything seems to be working properly. .including the back button. ..just no backlight. What do you think it could be?
hello Zack I need to know where can I buy the motherboard of my note 4 ? my phone sometimes freeze and turn off or turn on him self ! sometimes it doesnt turn on at all. I tried everything reset to factory mode ... and I didnt fixed the problem but I think it is the motherboard coud you help me pleas .?
Appreciate the detailed video but if only it were this simple.... I bought the charging port board on Amazon for about $9. But I just bricked my Note 4 after carefully following this and other charging port replacement videos. And I'm pretty adept at detailed repair jobs, but it all went wrong after heating up the screen then trying to pry to backplate off - that's when I realized I had separated the glass from the LCD which I now know is a big no-no, and must have broke a connection because now my screen is dead- glass is not cracked but screen is dead. Then in desperation I tried to complete the backplate removal process but the glue on my Note 4 is too stubborn and I made it worse. Since I had everything backed up prior, I'll just fire up another phone. Take my advice and don't attempt this unless you have all your data backed up and are prepared to shitcan your Note 4.
HI jerry. I am having a charging issue with my phone not charging well and high speed charging not working. I have replaced the charging board,battery,cable, charger. Why is left to change?
My note 4 screen got cracked but fortunately, my touch is absolutely fine and working well at each corner...So do I need to replace the whole LCD + Digitizer and front glass(Damn! it's costly) or only front glass would work (10-15$)?? Thanks!!
It's 2018, and I need another Note 4 motherboard. It's the T-Mobile variation, SM-N910T. I'd like a nice, solid replacement source, please. RepairsUniverse doesn't carry one, unfortunately...
Just successfully swapped out a charging port on a note 4 with the help of your video. Thank you!!!

What's the best way to get them connected?
Did you ever get it connected back together?
Here at 2019 getting to 2020 two days more
Just feel like watching all his old vedios before 2020

JerryRigEverything Im assuming that there is no glass only replacement for this? note 4, S6 or S6 edge?
After removing the Earpiece Speaker 02:46 , Can we replace the earpiece speaker grill without removing anything any further?
do you recommend on spraying hydrophobic on each part individually or just on all of them while they are connected

Hi, please tell me can i put a display module from version N910C, A, H or F on my galaxy note 4 SM-N916S S-LTE ?
Thanks
Some deep research might get you the answer. I'm kinda curious also. Maybe somebody has tried this before.
Does the home button ribbon cord serve any purpose? is it for fingerprint stuff? question being, my cable ripped. if All i need is the home key just to press, does it really need the cable. thats all
Why do you use that particular site for the charging cable? It's at least twice as much as other places. Are they just that reputable?
Hey, I know this video is already old, but it brought me some great insight on how the Note4 is built. So thank you for that. I also like that Lego comparison ;)

The center button has a little nib on its underside to click a foil covered button on the USB charging board beneath it.
Thank you so much. Breaks down very well and easy to find materials.
Do I need to add new adhesive when putting screen to frame back together?
Thanx

Is there an easier way to attach the 2 ribbon cables at the top?
Thanks again for your tutorials!!! Very helpful indeed!
What's the name of the black handle tool that you are using?
Vibzy Charles The Tweezers or the hot air gun?
Where were the various liquid indicators located? Also, how many of them are there?
I'm planning on getting a note 4 soon and I have a quick question pal. If I ever dropped it and deeply scrapped the sides and bezel permanently could it be replaced because in this video it looks like it's part of the back.
Cheers bud :)
hello good afternoon as I did you do to remove the screen was with dryer hot air or cold air was?
Thank you. Do you no of a place I can send it to be fixed we don't have a place in the town I live in.
Echo Chavez You can do an internet search for some, I don't know any that I would recommend off the top of my head.
Hey, if u replace the usb charging port is that replacing the microphone as well?
Marva Mason Yes, the mic is down there along the bottom as well. Look in the video description for parts!
I'm replacing a charging port because the recent apps button has a damaged flex cable. The entire screen assembly is good but my concern is removing it from the midframe without tearing the stylus flex ribbon cable (the big copper foil adhered to the midframe). Can you link to where I can purchase the stylus flex ribbon cable and even better, show how to replace the usb charging port and two flex buttons without damaging the existing stylus flex cable? Or is it just inevitable that the stylus flex ribbon cable will be damaged during this process?
a silly reaction here but i have a question cant you use the homebutton of the note 5 or the s6 on this phone because the fingerprint scanner is better in those phones
At about :44, what are those little ribbon things that seemed to have snapped when you took those pieces apart?
Thank you for this video, I have a phone Samsung Galaxy note 4 and screen work but the outer frame of the screen broken Question Can I just change the outside glass or must change the whole screen ???
After ordering through repair universe they started texting me and emailing me requesting a photo of my credit card with the first 3 groups of numbers blocked out. It sounded suspicious to me so now I am trying to cancel my order but I am having a hard time contacting someone on the phone. I recommend ordering your parts someplace else. Good video though. Also, there are black screws holding down the usb board and the Main circuit board that are not mentioned in the video
hey a small part of the copper foil ripped off, it didnt loom like it was too important though, will it be a problem ?
Don't forget to keep the camera window clean of fingerprints. I thought I was doing swell. Replaced the SIM card reader, the USB charging port and the home button. I tried to reboot it to test the components by just plugging in the screen before reassembly. Bummer no boot screen. Just a blue flashing light and the vibration buzzer chiming start. So my guess is that I was too rough on the mother board when I attached the charging port wire harness. I heard a click while I was trying to attach the harness. I did not heed your advise to remove the board first. I ended up doing it the way you said but I think that is why it won't boot.
hi do you have a link for the motherboard please?
Can you advise me on what to do based on the following circumstance? My Note 4 started intermittently failing to turn off or on when pressing the power button. Finally it failed permanently after a battery change and of course it's in the off position.
I replaced the power/volume/vibrate component but that didn't solve the problem. What do you recommend that I do/replace?
+Jesse Locke Have you tried a new battery? Maybe a charging port? its hard to say for sure.
JerryRigEverything I have three batteries, the Samsung original and two after market batteries. I've tried to turn it on with two of them but not the third. I'll try that next.
The charging port DOES allow the phone to charge, I think. However now that you mention it something has changed about charging the battery while it's in the phone. The large battery symbol that should appear on the screen while it's charging does not do so any longer. A green light does appear in the upper lefthand corner of the phone though, after the battery has reached 100% charge. At least I'm assuming that's what the green light means. I'll charge the battery inside the phone and then take it out and plug it into the base charger and see if it reads 100% charged.
Is it likely that the mainboard is bad? Is that fairly common? Have you ever heard of that happening?
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
It could be that something with the charging port is messing up. That would explain the lack of 'battery charging' indication. Its really hard to say though. Charging port would be my first guess... but if the phone is semi functioning right now, I wouldnt risk opening it up until stops working completely and you have no other option. (Just keep all your stuff backed up.)
Just cracked my Note 4 Camera glass. Do you sell the replacement parts for this? Would love a video. Apparently a bunch of people are having this issue with the camera glass.
Josh Cota I have some suppliers that I get parts from regularly, but no one has it yet. I imagine they will have some in the next month or 2. It is a VERY easy repair. And cheap... less than 10 bucks. But we have to wait for the part to be released.
Man, I love this video! My note 4 just went black screen and does not display anything. I can answer calls with the home button, I can even unlock the pattern blindly. what do you think is the problem need help
@4:28 this whole proshees? got your tongue bit? 😂
I was here on the 8th of July 2020.
so if you use the hot air gun to melt the rubber or glue around the frame of the screen. would you need to get more glue or something to make it stick back. the rubber or glue thats around the frame thats whats holds it in place right????
do you add Adhesive to the side frame
Just successfully replaced my note 4 charging port. thanks. Home button is a bit wobbly when I put the phone back together but didnt break the screen which is the most important part and the phone now charges
Thanks for the video, I can't get the power button off past the adhesive part. When I get to the panel between the motor and the power button, it's stuck. Where should I put force?
I had my note 4 fixed(replaced the LCD and touch screen digitizer assembly). Now the Wi-Fi and blue tooth no longer work. Could the Coaxial connector be to blame?
Can I change the whole display unit with fingerprint sensor and just leave the original motherboard in the phone. I can get the parts from a old phone. Or will I have problems with the used fingerprint sensor or so?
My Note 4 is not charging, beacuse I poured a little bit Redbull in the Micro-USB Port. Now it takes me an hour to find the loading spot. Do you think I need to replace the Charging-Port or do something else. Nice Video!
Thank you for the video, just fixed my mates screen.
Great video and much better than that one that someone else made that was 44 min long!
I cracked my back camera glass and I finally got the replacement (it was back ordered) - even though it was just the glass that broke I bought the entire camera, just in case. It was $33 in total with shipping.
Question - I do not have a hot gun, would a hair dryer suffice?
For those who want to know where I got the camera it was from parts4repair.com
Did you have a hard time putting the phone back together? I got a replacement camera too but now my phone wont power on. I've watched the video a million times and reassembled the mother board like 20 times!
Davendra Upreti Hi. Were you able to put your Note 4 back together?
Did you need double sided tape or some kind of adhesive?
Thanx
Where can I find a Note headphone jack?
You don't have a link in description for it.
Thanx
Jerry I need some serious help! i just replaced my charging port but my mic doesn't work now. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
where is the link for the sim card reader and the sd card reader?
Hey, my screen cracked but the LCD and touch still works. Is there a way of replacing the screen without LCD? I bought a screen though realised it did not have the 'Lego' wires after - could I use my old screen connectors to attach them together?
thank you
Kathrina
I should mention. The screen broke in such a way that the glass dangles if held a certain way. Its also a note 4
Gud evening Mr. Rig
Thanks for the video...
Hi, I replaced the power, volume and home button and changer port all at once. Everything works now but the touch screen. Any idea what to check? Never had that problem before. S pen also still works, just not touch.
I need help with my bottom microphone it doesn't work. Is the bottom Mic connected to the USB charger? How do I fix it?
i need a motherboard of SM-N910V variant of note 4. please provide me with the link to buy it
I have a question. ...for some reason the back light on the "back button" of my note 4, no longer lights up. It used to, before I opened to make repairs. Every other button lights up fine and eveything seems to be working properly. .including the back button. ..just no backlight. What do you think it could be?
+Lusciouz Lopez That bottom charging board. Mine broke too.
Can you please tell me when the mobile boots is the emmc chips Heating up? if then how much it can be heating up...?
Plz replay me

I need to replace the digitizer on mine but my question is will the S Pen work on the new digitizer? Plz if you can get back to me with a answer.
hello Zack I need to know where can I buy the motherboard of my note 4 ?
my phone sometimes freeze and turn off or turn on him self !
sometimes it doesnt turn on at all.
I tried everything reset to factory mode ... and I didnt fixed the problem but I think it is the motherboard coud you help me pleas .?
Appreciate the detailed video but if only it were this simple.... I bought the charging port board on Amazon for about $9. But I just bricked my Note 4 after carefully following this and other charging port replacement videos. And I'm pretty adept at detailed repair jobs, but it all went wrong after heating up the screen then trying to pry to backplate off - that's when I realized I had separated the glass from the LCD which I now know is a big no-no, and must have broke a connection because now my screen is dead- glass is not cracked but screen is dead. Then in desperation I tried to complete the backplate removal process but the glue on my Note 4 is too stubborn and I made it worse. Since I had everything backed up prior, I'll just fire up another phone. Take my advice and don't attempt this unless you have all your data backed up and are prepared to shitcan your Note 4.
HI jerry. I am having a charging issue with my phone not charging well and high speed charging not working. I have replaced the charging board,battery,cable, charger. Why is left to change?
Where can I buy all if these parts again?
+Alex Horb haha
My note 4 screen got cracked but fortunately, my touch is absolutely fine and working well at each corner...So do I need to replace the whole LCD + Digitizer and front glass(Damn! it's costly) or only front glass would work (10-15$)??
Thanks!!
It's 2018, and I need another Note 4 motherboard. It's the T-Mobile variation, SM-N910T. I'd like a nice, solid replacement source, please. RepairsUniverse doesn't carry one, unfortunately...
Can you upload that Note 4 glass replacement video?
Keep up the good work 👍
News from the future .....
Lego is still a thing in 2019 !!
Back From the future its still a thing in 2021 lol
in the process of me separating the screen from the body of the phone i ripped the copper foil. is that a problem ?? or would everything still work ?
***** It should still work, just piece the copper back together as best as possible. (copper touching copper.)
I also ripped copper, doesn't really matter. It's used for spen functionality. Doesn't hinder anything.
JerryRigEverything
Max Fireman so what exactly is its purpose with the spen?
I have no idea haha
After replacing new screen , its not sealing properly. May be have to put sealing tape inside to stick the glass to chasis.?
Menuka Gunawardana Yes! Putting tape on the back of the LCD and the back of the glass to stick it to the frame is important.
