Surasak, Thanks a million for this. I tried two other fixes and they did not work. You are great! Best $.10 repair in history. Did it nearly an hour ago and so fare so good using one U.S. dime. Bill in Los Angeles
Wow! I followed these instructions and I can't believe it. So far so good.Only suggestion, I used what is called a stainless steel #10 flat washer.I did offset the washer as instructed to clear the rocker switch and the power button. I did however secured it with a small piece of scotch tape to avoid any chances of it moving and shorting out any other circuits on the mother board. Thanks for the tip. I have until July to end my contract with AT&T for good
btw i think if you guys just take your time and retighten the screws in a clockwise fashion you'll see the first screw you put in is very loose once you get to the last screw... do it 3 times to makes sure its a tight fit and an even hold all around. Remember you are putting a foreign object into the phone and its not going to be flush unless you softly level the phone.
Hi there, thank you so much for posting this video with such a practical and simple solution . I live in the US and used a Dime (10 cents) coin instead and my LG3 phone stopped having the screen issues described in this video. Your posting saved me form having to purchase another phone., at least for now Thanks again.
Wow this actually worked, thank you! I used a one pence piece and it's been working for the last two hours with no problems. Hopefully will last until my upgrade in December or whenever the new Nexus comes out, thanks again!
This has been a temporary fix for most people. What I understand is that the motherboard chip casing gets hot - and after time the solder joints from the motherboard chips break down to the board. I fixed (for now) by using adhesive copper strip folded over to make slightly thicker & cut it to the size of the chip. Smeared some contact adhesive to the outer casing of the chip and placed the copper strip onto it. So it'll serve 2 purposes - it'll add pressure to the pins from chip to the board and will also distribute the heat from the chip to the copper strip/phone housing. You will need to take the boards out - see other videos on youtube - when you remove the motherboard the motherboard chip is on the underside - i.e. you wont see it unless you turn the motherboard over
Instructions were easy to follow. I used a US dime. There is one screw that is smaller than all the others, which I didn't notice at the time. I put it back in the hole right next to the camera lens. Hopefully that is the right one. Getting the interior cover off can take some "fingernail destruction" but be patient and just a little forceful and it will come off. Make sure you go around and make all the clicks to put it back in place before you replace the screws. And make sure you tighten the screws well. Go around a second time to insure they are all the way in. Looks good so far. Screen is again working properly. I'll come back and comment if/when the issue returns.
So this will not fix permanently or at least it did not for me. But I switched to another phone and then switched back and the issue has not re-surfaced for two days now. I saw another video that indicated that re-seating the SIM card can help. I wonder if it did. I had to do that to switch back and forth between phones. Could just be a coinkydink. We'll see...
Used a U.S Dime and it worked for 2 days. The only way to get a permanent fix is to buy a new LG G3 motherboard and swap out your old one with it. Thats what I did. You can find them for around $80 on Ebay...saves a lot of money and hassle!
I took aluminum paper and folded it to the thickness of "almost a coin" then cut so that it fits in that space you showed. It worked! I'll let you know in a week or two if it's still working. thank you!
I did the trick using a 1 cent of a euro and it really worked, immediately the phone was able to power up but I ordered already a new phone because I don't think it will last a lot..Thanks a lot for sharing this trick with us!
Confirm this works, if only to get some important photos and docs and back up sms from internal storage, thanks man. For ref, my LG G3 had a boot loop. So the bad solder connections from chip to motherboard are definitely to blame and resolved with this applied pressure. Wouldn't say it would be permanent fix however. Thanks again.
It seems this did the trick for me. Our 5 and 10 colones coins in Costa Rica are soft enough to cut easily into a small square cuz they're too big. The piece needs to be no more than 1mm thick, otherwise the covers won't fit right. So far so good, no more screen flickering.. I hope it stays that way. I believe you are correct about not using paper or plastic; at the temperatures this phone gets sometimes, they might catch fire. Thank you!
Hello, my LG G3 started with the fade to black syndrome this morning while watching TH-cam. I see you published in July. I was curious if you or another with F2BS had tried pulling the heat sink and putting a little arctic silver paste on it? Over the decades I have had to re paste heat sinks on a couple of PCs and have a tube of silver in the drawer. along the same lines, I would think a little dab of the silver paste would help keep a coin stationary and help with thermal transfer. I will also unplug and replug ribbon cables a couple of times as long as I will be that deep in the phones guts. Thanks, all food for thought. I will have to make a vid with the old S3.
Thanks so much for making this video! I did paper trick first without removing back and that worked for a week. Just finished this putting a US dime in there per your instructions. So far so good. Note to others: notice there is one smaller screw - note where it came from (I think next to camera lens). Update - I found after a few weeks the problem started coming back. It seems the dime is too thick to allow the case to stay closed. I replaced the dime with a thin washer and so far so good.
Yeah, the problem came back. I replaced washer with several layers of alum foil. Worked for a while, problem came back. Replaced alum foil with heat tape, worked for a few weeks, problem came back. Added more heat tape, worked for a few weeks, problem came back. Ordered a new phone, another LG, but different model, so hopefully the problem will not come back. Good luck.
Roy, the reason for using a coin is not to add pressure nor an electrical problem. The issue is that the microprocessor that controls the display (screen) starts overheating as your phone gets older and the metal plate that comes with the phone is not enough to dissipate the excess of heat anymore just by itself . By putting the coin you would increasing the dissipation surface, allowing for the heat on the microprocessor to be under adequate operating levels. I hope this explanation does not get to you too late.
Used a 5 sentimo coin from the Philippines, worked great. I'v seen a post claiming there is a software fix also for this issue "All what you have to do is : * 1 Root your phone [ be careful in this step ] . * 2 Install TWRP recovery mode * 3 use TWRP recovery mode to install CloudyG3 2.5. That's all and your smart phone will be look like LG G4 , fast,smooth, and New" The claim is that the phone doesnt run as hot with the new software.
Hashir Baig Actually it worked for a while then it went bad again. I know some of these fixes are only temporary so it works just for a few months then back to scare one. I've tried different methods so I've concluded that it's just too much of a hassle so I'm gonna get a new phone. I will not buy LG phones again for the longest time. Thanks!
Very public-spirited of you to sell a phone with a known fault! The real culprit I guess is that it is too tempting to put the phone in your back pocket and then sit down - I know I do that and have cracked two tempered glass screen protectors in past 6 months. However, if the environmentalist hadn't insisted on lead-free solder when making these consumer electronics then we would have phones wich are more resistant to the bending and twisting they get subjected to. So don't blame LG they are like all phone makers working to the law.
Did the dime thing,lasted 7 days before flickering again. Now folded thick paper inside & working for now. See how long this temp fix lasts. Not my main cell anymore,so not worried just playing around with it now. Probably just have to keep replacing whaterever one puts in,as it compresses over time i imagine,untill it completly breaks.
MrMaxinne Looks that way for most ppl. Good enough to transfer stuff to a new phone i guess. Using it right now. Deleted all apps that i could that eat data,not using it for videos and such so it doesnt heat up. Been using it for light use to see if that makes a difference. So just over 24hrs now with using the paper trick. See how it goes i guess. BTW i did get about 10hrs of video use with the dime over 7 days,phone didnt heat up as bad compared to before it shut down.
This fixed my screen, but my front facing camera doesnt work now... Im getting a new phone anyways, so this is good enough for now. Thanks for the help
Thx Mr just put in nano sim card instead of specific coin.was unable to find coin so used nano sim card working perfectly.just to let u other LG user victims lol if they dont have coin can be use nano sim card in it .thx for that video i have saved £20 & specially time.
Faiq Ali I wanna fix my mom's LGG3 like this, should I really tighten the screws when I put the phone back together to make sure it doesn't do this again or is it temporary nevertheless? Please reply quickly
I just used a dime and the screen worked, but the SIM card and power button doesn't. I'll just deal with that until I buy a new one. Anyways, good helpful video. well worth watching!
Ehy guys, I wanna share with you what seems the PERMANENT solution: try to pull off totally the front camera (the main one) and put it outside the phone. Ok, you can think ... "wtf my phone without a camera?" I can say "better a phone with only a rear camera (the selfie camera) then an unusable phone...or not?" I really tried ALL the conventional methods (paper trick, coin trick, thermal paste, baking etc...) To use the rear camera I suggest to download an app called MXCamera and set the rear camera like the main one because the standard camera app will not start otherwise. If you can live without the front camera, try this trick and share the outcome with a comment to this. LET US KNOW IF IT WORKS EVEN TO YOU!!
I have 3 of these phones. This fixed worked on 2 with a dime coin. We folded foil and the third one worked. The dime did not work on the third phone. Test your buttons.. Getting the dime in the right place is important.
Hi, I tried the coin and it works it did not flicker, but kinda a little hot on the button area, Anyway is your LG G3 still working? What issues did you encountered using this fixed ? Kindly update on any issues that occurs on your phone, thanks in advance.
I tried a Canadian dime (8 American pennies) but it was too wide and disabled my volume rocker and home button. Instead, I used a folded square of tinfoil the same thickness, but smaller width. It works fine, now! (Though, I probably just jinxed myself)
For you all guy who want to try this method ,the key is to make more pressure on the CPU 's heatzink for making cpu' contact againt MB 's plate as much as you can and don't forget that the heat zink must still can be cool down. Good luck for everyone.
is it works forever? i want make sure. that works still! because i had a same issue, and now i put a paper on..and it worked.. if i`ll get again a problemm i`ll try this method yours... so i would know it works for sure?
It happened and happens with me, I uninstalled some programs then removed the sd card and sim card- turned the phone on then opened some apps and scrolled around , after which I restarted the phone then done the same thing it started working then turned off and inserted sim card not using sd card though now it is fine sometimes fades but the phone is still usable by this method, just be slow to installing new heavy apps (+20 mb apps)
A year after this fix...my LG G3 is working most of the time after using this fix. However it will fade to black screen if i try to dial out. i had to press ON button to get it to wake up and then tried again.
So paper trick was not working for me anymore, and I couldn't fit any coin inside because they were all too thick, instead I did the trick with folding up piece of aluminium foil and placing it on top of that heatsink, and it's working for now maybe it will last long enough to buy a new phone.
The fix lasted less than 24 hours for my LG. Screen flickers and fades to black around 50-100 times/day. But now, as a “bonus”, it also loses all signal/internet connection 5-10 times/day and has to be restarted, or it gives a message saying the sim card is invalid, and that I have to replace it. After this, the phone crashes and restarts. This can’t be true! Hasn’t anyone found the real solution? We shouldn’t except that we have to chop up credit cards to make our phones work… temporarily…
I solved it by inserting a copper wire..curved by the current wire, flattened with a clamp, under the processor and slightly touches the metal protection of the processor above, from the part of the Vol down button. The copper wire that protrudes the most cut it ... otherwise it goes to piggle the keys .... creating es: temporary mode. Perhaps the flickering and / or darkening of the display is caused by an electrostatic charge. I solved it like this!
People I fixed mine by unrooting it the screen flickers because there might be an app you downloded that's causing the problem mine I deleted the Kingroot rebooted the phone and now I dont Encounter flickering anymore
hi, I was doing it And now I got device hanging on after seconds from start up and then restarting.. can you suggest something? it's not software related
please ,do not place the coin touch to the left connecter of the heat zink ,otherwise it will be a bootloop problem and don't make too much pressure. you can try again.
Thanks for reply. after start up it freezes and keeps restarting. In recovery mode it's working Ok, tried reinstalling ROM as well. I don't know if it's related with this .. but never had the problem before.. just a bad coincidence? .. hmm..
+Ika Khmaladze . i have edit my answer on your question. the solution is move the coin to the left side of heat zink and don't make the coin touch to the left connecter. I have the same problem as you on my test and I fix it by using a smaller coin and do not place the coin on the middle of heatzink then it should be good. good luck for you.
I did this but when I turned it on the back where the coin was got very hot and so did the screen. Is this normal or is it a sign I messed something up. The also does not close all the way in the top left corner. I used a dime that I sanded down to be smaller
The heat is right where the coin is and it got hot when I turned it on. I took the battery out to turn it off after I felt the back. I guess it is hopeless for me :(
EU COLOQUEI A PLACA MÃE NO FORNO E RESOLVEU 100%, EU NÃO TINHA NADA A PERDER, PQ JA ESTAVA ZUADO MESMO, TIREI A PLACA E COLOQUEI NO FORNO POR 10 MINUTOS E TODO PROBLEMA FOI RESOLVIDO, PROBLEMA DE TELA E DE WIFI ...

you are a life saver. I used a USA Dime and it works like a charm. Thank you for saving me $600 for a new phone

I can't believe after so long searching for solutions I found this video with this simple trick... Thank you for sharing!
Followed your instructions and used a small piece of double back tape to hold the coin in place. Works great! Thank you!
coin trick is only temporary fix and stopped working after a few days. Oven trick next

Do you have a video for this?
Im experiencing this issue and after reading all the comments below its suffice to say BYE FELLECIA !!!!!!LG !!life is not good anymore,never again
LG needs to address this issue, I had to purchase a new phone.
Instructions were easy to follow. I used a US dime. There is one screw that is smaller than all the others, which I didn't notice at the time. I put it back in the hole right next to the camera lens.

This has fixed my problem so far. Thanks much for posting the video.
Holy shit!!!! I went and bought a cheap Walmart phone til I got mine fixed. This actually worked for my phone. Thanks so much 😊
You're repair method is awesome!!! Thanks so much for posting this. You're a genius!!!!!!!!
Worked like a charm.
Thanx so much. Saved me a bundle.
👍 👍 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
MY G3 WORKS WELL.
정말 감사합니다!
i tried your method so far no more screen fading problem, hope it's a permanent fixed. Thanks!
I took aluminum paper and folded it to the thickness of "almost a coin" then cut so that it fits in that space you showed. It worked! I'll let you know in a week or two if it's still working. thank you!
it worked for two weeks and then problem returned ...
Lol, fuck you LG
I did the trick using a 1 cent of a euro and it really worked, immediately the phone was able to power up but I ordered already a new phone because I don't think it will last a lot..Thanks a lot for sharing this trick with us!
I did the same, anyway. My LG G3 works fine so far, but I ordered a new one, just in case.
Confirm this works, if only to get some important photos and docs and back up sms from internal storage, thanks man. For ref, my LG G3 had a boot loop. So the bad solder connections from chip to motherboard are definitely to blame and resolved with this applied pressure. Wouldn't say it would be permanent fix however. Thanks again.

Thanks, all food for thought. I will have to make a vid with the old S3.
Great stuff man. It worked great. I thought I was going to have to buy a new screen
I used a small piece of Rubber Band - so far so good. Thanks for Posting!
Does your phone still work?
did this fix 7 days ago and not a flicker...thanks for the video
mjuhanil how's it working now it's been 5 months?? curious
hey...thanks, I had the same problem with the fading screen and after watching this video I gave it a try, so now so far so good..no problems anymore!
it works yet?
good quetion
John Folkes it works, just for 1 week
Ohh well I guess that's better than nothing
Thanks so much for making this video! I did paper trick first without removing back and that worked for a week. Just finished this putting a US dime in there per your instructions. So far so good.

Joel Price how's the phone working ? problem come back?
Yeah, the problem came back. I replaced washer with several layers of alum foil. Worked for a while, problem came back. Replaced alum foil with heat tape, worked for a few weeks, problem came back. Added more heat tape, worked for a few weeks, problem came back. Ordered a new phone, another LG, but different model, so hopefully the problem will not come back. Good luck.
dang! that really stinks. thank you be much for the reply
Thanks for the video it works!
Make sure you get smaller or similar size coin as in video, copper is best
thank you for your advice. it really works on my G3
I don't understand why use a coin? Is it an electrical contact problem that's why we use a coin for the pressure?
Roy, the reason for using a coin is not to add pressure nor an electrical problem. The issue is that the microprocessor that controls the display (screen) starts overheating as your phone gets older and the metal plate that comes with the phone is not enough to dissipate the excess of heat anymore just by itself . By putting the coin you would increasing the dissipation surface, allowing for the heat on the microprocessor to be under adequate operating levels. I hope this explanation does not get to you too late.
Used a 5 sentimo coin from the Philippines, worked great. I'v seen a post claiming there is a software fix also for this issue
"All what you have to do is :
* 1 Root your phone [ be careful in this step ] .
* 2 Install TWRP recovery mode
* 3 use TWRP recovery mode to install CloudyG3 2.5.
That's all and your smart phone will be look like LG G4 , fast,smooth, and New"
The claim is that the phone doesnt run as hot with the new software.
I used a penny, and that worked beautifully. Thank you!
does it still work?
+Carl Daniel Jean Louis
yes. amazing.
guess need to be copper coin to work
after 19 days the phone is starting to act up again. time to look for a new phone.
Used a US penny, but as you can see from my comment above, it didn't last long.
I just tried the fix with a US dime and thermal paste. Phone working again. Thanks!
Hopefully this is a permanent fix.
Is your phone still working?
lavenderheart, no lasted less than a week.
Million thanks. It works. I used 10 paise small Indian Coin. Actually what it does it presses the heat sink to the
board .👍.
Thank you so much!!!!! you've helped me out a lot by sharing this video and fixing my phone! Thank you very much! You're Awesome!!!
Does it still work after you applied this method?
Hashir Baig Actually it worked for a while then it went bad again. I know some of these fixes are only temporary so it works just for a few months then back to scare one. I've tried different methods so I've concluded that it's just too much of a hassle so I'm gonna get a new phone. I will not buy LG phones again for the longest time. Thanks!
I have decided the same. I am gonna sell this one today. Thanks for the reply.
Very public-spirited of you to sell a phone with a known fault!
The real culprit I guess is that it is too tempting to put the phone in your back pocket and then sit down - I know I do that and have cracked two tempered glass screen protectors in past 6 months. However, if the environmentalist hadn't insisted on lead-free solder when making these consumer electronics then we would have phones wich are more resistant to the bending and twisting they get subjected to. So don't blame LG they are like all phone makers working to the law.
i tried this trick and it has worked out for me so far. thank you!
luzamaia I'm wondering if it still works until today?
Morphice The Great Wizard it stopped working a week ago so i replaced the coin with 2 pieces of plastic from an old credit card and is working fine.
luzamaia how's the plastic ? is the phone still working properly?
Nice!!! It worked for me. Let see for how many time. Thanks so much
Did the dime thing,lasted 7 days before flickering again. Now folded thick paper inside & working for now. See how long this temp fix lasts. Not my main cell anymore,so not worried just playing around with it now. Probably just have to keep replacing whaterever one puts in,as it compresses over time i imagine,untill it completly breaks.
so it's a temp fix?

i hated my lg g3 for the screen issue
i tried the cent and it worked with me with easy task
now i love my g3
thank you so much
after 2 weeks. same issue. please advise
i just tried and my phone is working 100% thank you so much!
Thank you it works on my g3 d855
Thx Mr just put in nano sim card instead of specific coin.was unable to find coin so used nano sim card working perfectly.just to let u other LG user victims lol if they dont have coin can be use nano sim card in it .thx for that video i have saved £20 & specially time.
Faiq Ali I wanna fix my mom's LGG3 like this, should I really tighten the screws when I put the phone back together to make sure it doesn't do this again or is it temporary nevertheless? Please reply quickly
I just used a dime and the screen worked, but the SIM card and power button doesn't. I'll just deal with that until I buy a new one. Anyways, good helpful video. well worth watching!
Ehy guys, I wanna share with you what seems the PERMANENT solution: try to pull off totally the front camera (the main one) and put it outside the phone.
Ok, you can think ... "wtf my phone without a camera?" I can say "better a phone with only a rear camera (the selfie camera) then an unusable phone...or not?"
I really tried ALL the conventional methods (paper trick, coin trick, thermal paste, baking etc...)
To use the rear camera I suggest to download an app called MXCamera and set the rear camera like the main one because the standard camera app will not start otherwise.
If you can live without the front camera, try this trick and share the outcome with a comment to this.
LET US KNOW IF IT WORKS EVEN TO YOU!!
great job , thanks.fixed my.
Thanks. It worked. Let's see how long this fix will work
i give you 3 days
03Dmartin it will die. No way to fix this problem. Mine is dead
03Dmartin like one week more
mine worked 3 weeks and now I baked it at 360° in oven for 3 minutes like I saw on Google search..and it worked
surasak,
This works pretty well but the problem is returning but only intermittently. Any suggestions?
I have 3 of these phones. This fixed worked on 2 with a dime coin. We folded foil and the third one worked. The dime did not work on the third phone. Test your buttons.. Getting the dime in the right place is important.
thanks this really fixed my phone!
Hello! I wanna know where is located the problem, on the cpu soldering, or on the connector?
the problem is CPU soldering.
Hi, I tried the coin and it works it did not flicker, but kinda a little hot on the button area,
Anyway is your LG G3 still working?
What issues did you encountered using this fixed ?
Kindly update on any issues that occurs on your phone, thanks in advance.
yes, it is still working so far and no problem at all.
did this but used a little rubber padding (taken from an lcd monitor base). Works like new after over 2 weeks.
I just used a small flat washer and so far it is working fine.
I tried a Canadian dime (8 American pennies) but it was too wide and disabled my volume rocker and home button. Instead, I used a folded square of tinfoil the same thickness, but smaller width. It works fine, now! (Though, I probably just jinxed myself)
one Polish Grosz coin does the job well so far. I put it in this morning.
I used Aluminum foil fold it few times to the size of coin. Its working well.
goodnight friend, the material of the coin influences ? or you have to use a piece of metal in some specific
you can use any material but the shape of material should be like coin. I think the metal is the best because the heat can be transfered to it.
Thank You Soo Much Its Work
it worked for me thank you sooooo much
For you all guy who want to try this method ,the key is to make more pressure on the CPU 's heatzink for making cpu' contact againt MB 's plate as much as you can and don't forget that the heat zink must still can be cool down. Good luck for everyone.
is it works forever? i want make sure. that works still! because i had a same issue, and now i put a paper on..and it worked.. if i`ll get again a problemm i`ll try this method yours... so i would know it works for sure?
John Maxwell depend on each device , for me it 's working till now but for the other might be temporary fixed. you have to try by yourself.
I FIX PAPER AND COIN BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM . . . . . CAN ANY ONE HAVE GOOD METHOD TO CONTROL THE ABOVE PROBLEM
real solution.
no heating. a simple little circuit
@T4Dw
It happened and happens with me, I uninstalled some programs then removed the sd card and sim card- turned the phone on then opened some apps and scrolled around , after which I restarted the phone then done the same thing it started working then turned off and inserted sim card not using sd card though now it is fine sometimes fades but the phone is still usable by this method, just be slow to installing new heavy apps (+20 mb apps)
A year after this fix...my LG G3 is working most of the time after using this fix. However it will fade to black screen if i try to dial out. i had to press ON button to get it to wake up and then tried again.
wow finally works. i used a canadian dime
crankyboiy still working?
How long did it work for?
So paper trick was not working for me anymore, and I couldn't fit any coin inside because they were all too thick, instead I did the trick with folding up piece of aluminium foil and placing it on top of that heatsink, and it's working for now maybe it will last long enough to buy a new phone.
thank you this method works good
May I ask you. Be so. What to replace. Because i also did the same thing. But only one time. Please help me. I only have 1 phone
The fix lasted less than 24 hours for my LG. Screen flickers and fades to black around
50-100 times/day. But now, as a “bonus”, it also loses all signal/internet connection
5-10 times/day and has to be restarted, or it gives a message saying the sim
card is invalid, and that I have to replace it. After this, the phone crashes
and restarts. This can’t be true! Hasn’t anyone found the real solution? We
shouldn’t except that we have to chop up credit cards to make our phones work…
temporarily…
worked lake a charm thanks
The problem is solved, but the wirelles are not working.
The coin is the size of a 10 cent in euro?
what canadian coin can you use for this???
Work in blue screen? Please Help me
thanks it worked for me
สวัสดีครับพี่ อาการของเครื่องก่อนที่พี่จะทำวิธีนี้ อาการเครื่องเป็นอย่างไรครับ แล้วทำแล้วอาการที่เป็นหายไหมครับ อาการของเครื่องผมพอใช้ไปสักพักเครื่องก็ดับเองและก็เปิดมาเอง
เครื่องไม่ดับครับ แต่จอมันติดๆดับๆเองเท่านั้น
ถ้าเครื่องเปิดใหม่เอง เปลี่ยนแบตเตอรี่ใหม่น่าจะหายแล้วครับเอาของแท้นะครับ
I solved it by inserting a copper wire..curved by the current wire, flattened with a clamp, under the processor and slightly touches the metal protection of the processor above, from the part of the Vol down button. The copper wire that protrudes the most cut it ... otherwise it goes to piggle the keys .... creating es: temporary mode. Perhaps the flickering and / or darkening of the display is caused by an electrostatic charge. I solved it like this!
People I fixed mine by unrooting it the screen flickers because there might be an app you downloded that's causing the problem mine I deleted the Kingroot rebooted the phone and now I dont Encounter flickering anymore
Work thanks a lot
hi, I was doing it And now I got device hanging on after seconds from start up and then restarting.. can you suggest something? it's not software related
please ,do not place the coin touch to the left connecter of the heat zink ,otherwise it will be a bootloop problem and don't make too much pressure. you can try again.
Thanks for reply. after start up it freezes and keeps restarting. In recovery mode it's working Ok, tried reinstalling ROM as well. I don't know if it's related with this .. but never had the problem before.. just a bad coincidence? .. hmm..
+Ika Khmaladze . i have edit my answer on your question. the solution is move the coin to the left side of heat zink and don't make the coin touch to the left connecter. I have the same problem as you on my test and I fix it by using a smaller coin and do not place the coin on the middle of heatzink then it should be good. good luck for you.
+Ika Khmaladze anyway, do not place the coin under the power , volume up and down botton.
Does it work on broken screen flickering
I did this but when I turned it on the back where the coin was got very hot and so did the screen. Is this normal or is it a sign I messed something up. The also does not close all the way in the top left corner. I used a dime that I sanded down to be smaller
i did this method and my device was cooler than ever. I have no idea what is the cause of yours.
The heat is right where the coin is and it got hot when I turned it on. I took the battery out to turn it off after I felt the back. I guess it is hopeless for me :(
+cowardlykarma Anyway, if we don't talk about the heat. can you fix screen flickering after applied this method?
+surasak riabriang I didn't keep it on long enough
