Samsung Galaxy Note9: Back glass adhesive coming up

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 22:49:00 -0700

So I bought the back glass adhesive kit for this model phone after my original seal started popping up around the phone. I cleaned and peeled the old adhesive off the phone and black glass with isopropyl alcohol and then applied the adhesive and set on a heating mat at about 150°F for 2-3 minutes and then clamped the phone together with phone clamps. I let it stay like that for about 30 hours and I’ve had the clamps off for about 24 hours now and the adhesive started to pop up again. Any tips how to fix this?

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Galaxy note 9, wet and will no longer charge.

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 12:00:37 -0700

I have a note 9 that I dropped in the ocean, I scooped it up immediately and took it back to my room. I got the warning about the charging port being wet so I let it sit on my counter for a few hours although I think I forgot to turn it off, the battery ran out and currently I have a situation where the phone wont charge, nothing happens when i plug it in, but im pretty sure its dry (its been almost a week). I have some experience replacing screens and batteries on phones but im not sure where to begin here. Advice would be appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Can it operate without anything attached to the battery contacts?

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 19:09:50 -0700

Have to remove the battery; would be happy to operate it only while plugged in to a charger; will it work with nothing attached to the battery contacts? Have seen some guides for adding a resistor to simulate the presence of a battery, but will it work without further modification?

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Camera and other sensors have stopped working

Tue, 30 May 2023 07:28:12 -0700

The other day the camera, fingerprint sensor and accelerometor on my Galaxy Note 9 all stopped responding at the same time. When i open the camera app, nothing shows and the app sort of hangs (tapping the take photo button does nothing), the fingerprint sensor doesn't respond when i try to unlock the phone, and the phone doesn't auto-rotate. The phone is also overheating all the time and drains the battery 100-0% in just four hours (usually it was a day and a half). It kind of feels like the phone is trying to find the unresponsive parts and is burning through the battery in the process. Makes me think it's a hardware issue.

Phone is fully updated. Rebooted multiple times and cleared partition cache to no effect.

Running the *#0*# diagnostics none of the sensors in there are responsive either.

I'm opting to factory reset it and then pop the phone open if that doesn't work. Does anyone have suggestions before i do so? This is my personal phone so i'm hesitant to do anything too permanent before i do so.

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Brand new ifixit battery replacement smells like nail polish

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 10:40:35 -0700

I just got a replacement battery from ifixit and when opening the package it smells intensely of nail polish. I can't find any liquid or holes on the battery and after removing the battery it doesn't smell nearly as much as before but the bag still smells quite strongly. Is this a faulty battery or is it just from manufacturing conditions?

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Can the foil on the fingerprint sensor be removed?

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 09:12:31 -0700

The layer on top of this sensor, a kind of foil it seems, is falling of. Can it be peeled of without loosing functionality? So far it still works, I am not sure if it works as good as new, though.

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Screen cracked then dropped in water, told its fried

Fri, 20 May 2022 09:43:16 -0700

Hello, I brought my phone into a ubreakifix after it was dropped in water. The screen has a crack so I believe that voided the waterproof features. They said my phone is fried and nothing can be repaired or retrieved. When I press the power button to turn my device on though it vibrates.. should I hold out hope or is it a phantom thing?

Samsung Galaxy Note9: How can I backup my phone so I can reset or unlock it a diff way?

Sat, 15 Jan 2022 01:15:54 -0700

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and my phone died and I usually use my fingerprint but I'm not sure if I forgot my password because I've been using that same password for about a month and then it says that it's invalid. I've tried resetting the phone and doing the password again but it doesn't work. I can't power off cuz I need my password for that so I tried letting it die and doing it again, it didn't work. I don't trust the videos on YT so I want to know if I can back it up or reset the password somehow. Also, I have my phone account on my mom's account still, I think, I'm kinda afraid to ask her since she is really mad that I can't unlock my phone and I don't know if Find my Phone is on but I'll try. If there's another trustworthy way, please do tell me.

Samsung Galaxy Note9: I've plugged it into a lighting USB port and it zapped it

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 00:54:42 -0700

So stupidly I thought I'd charge my phone on the kitchen lighting driver hub. It now doesn't work at all. I've tried booting with volume and power buttons and also factory reset button combinations…nothing. It won't charge at all. It's dead. I've tried replacing the battery, still nothing. What is likely to be wrong? Is it repairable?

Samsung Galaxy Note9: Retrieving data from motherboard

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 15:37:39 -0700

Hello, I had a Samsung note 9 and while I was in jail my girl had it. And she put it through the ringer. There were cracks all over the front screen and back, even the glass covering the cameras were broken. Well she finally slammed it in a car door and the screen would just flash white really fast unless the brightness of the screen was turned up all the way. Well certain circumstances lead to me using it again, and a little while after I started using it this viking of a phone gave out. No matter what I did I couldn't get the screen to stop flashing and decided to take it apart, because I possibly wanted to fix it one day. Well in the process I punctured the battery. But other than that I successfully took it apart. But I need some files on that phone, s note files to be exact that didn't get backed up for some reason. What would be the easiest and cheapest way to get the data back. Is it possible to plug a USB C cord in the motherboard to provide power and access the files. I'm sure that's too good to be true and I'll need to replace all the broken parts of the phone. Such as the battery I broke, and the entire screen assembly. If that's the case where is the best place to buy parts, or should I buy a broken note 9 where I could use the screen, and the battery. I'm sorry for my poor use of Grammer etc. But I do thank anyone that takes the time to read this and give me some advice. Hope you all have a great day/night. Thank you again

Sincerely,

Nick
