If you look at the picture above, the gold on the back of the display is adhesive. I’m not sure why it’s gold however. As far as I know, you can rip it and the LCD and digitizer will still work. In our store, whenever we do screen repairs on any phone, we always get the glass and LCD as one component. I’ve never done a glass only repair but from what my understanding is, it’s a pain in the rear end and it’s not easy. You will spend more for a full display unit but you will thank yourself in the long run as it’s much easier to work with.

Ebay can be a good place to get replacement parts for your device. As for a guide, you can search for a service manual. These are intended for authorized service providers but many of them are available online.

If you have a volt meter you can use that on the new battery. Where did you get the new battery from? Buying a battery online is hit or miss. Who knows how long a battery has been sitting around for. It that battery was dead when you got it there is a change it has been damaged form sitting without a charge. If you can return the battery and get a replacement I would try that.

There are a lot of know issues with the latest Windows 10 release. I would see if the manufacture has updated drivers on their website. If all else fails, just roll back the updates. This will fix the problems until Microsoft fixes the problems with the latest release.

I would screens from other vendors. Not sure what to quality is like form parts on Amazon. You might have just gotten lucky with the other screens and now are receiving poor quality parts.

I ran into a similar problem when I was upgrading my 2012 MacBook pro. I was trying to reinstall the OS but could not see the disk when I went to select where I wanted the OS to be installed to. I ended up replacing the ribbon cable for the HD/SSD and that solved the problem.

This to me sounds like a possible cooling issue. The system probably needs to be cleaned out. Ideally the best option is to open the system up as much as you can and clean any dust out. At the very least try to use come compressed air. Just be careful of sensitive components.

Not even sure what you would call that piece. Likely your best option will be to see if you can get a parts phone and take it from that. I did not have much luck trying to find that piece from some of the vendors I know of.

This is likely a problem with the quality of parts you are getting. Where are the parts coming from? There are reputable retailers online that sell parts that are high quality. A quick Google search should give you some options. We use parts from these retailers all the time and very rarely have problems. As for using your old screen. Some packing tape will go a long way to keep glass from chipping off and cutting your fingers for the time being.

Could possibly be bad batteries. Have they been sitting out of the camera for a long time? If the answer is yes then they are likely bad and will need to be replaced. Letting lithium-ion batteries sit for long periods of time without charging them will cause them to drain and once they drain too much it does permanent damaged to them and they will never charge back up again. It could also be a problem with your charger for your batteries. If you have a volt meter you can check both the batteries and the charger. If it’s not the batteries then it’s probably something electrical with the camera.

This guide does not show how to do a factory reset but rather shows how to force the device to restart.
