PiPo M9 drop dead =< - Hardware Hacking General

Hey!
I had a PiPo M9 (WiFi) now for about 2-3 weeks and everything worked perfectly.
No problems with rooting and installing ROMS ( i fixed that 2-3 days after i bought it)
I was playing some angry birds yesterday, and all of sudden i had VERY low battery, i put it on charge even if i recently took it from it.
Then i noticed that the DC-connection in my tablet is "loose" , i needed to have the cable in a specific position for make it charge.
Battery was fully charged but it said i had about 16 minutes left, and in 1 minute it dropped to 43% and only had 2 minutes of the battery left...
I tried to calibrate the battery after it was fully charged (i let it charge for almost 10 hours) but there was no difference...
Anyways... i played some games later on and forgot about the position of the cable so the tablet died...It had a bootloop about 6 times and i was trying to put the cable correct for make it charge but i failed and the tablet died.
Now it doesnt react at all, and unfortunally i don't know what the EXACTLY position is for the cable so i have been trying around but without success...
When i am connecting the USB to the computer it doens't react either, and i tried to push in RESET while holding the other buttoms as well, without success...
I Don't know what to do , and i don't know what is wrong?
I opened up my tablet carefully to see if i could see the problem but it is hard to do anything without knowledge about it....
I know that it has something to do with the DC-connection but i can also imagine that it has something to do with the batteries..
If i need to change the batteries , what should i buy? And how should i do? I need a guide, walkthrough ,... i have been googling around , also on youtube, without any luck...
Anyone out there who can help me?
I am kinda desperate.. :/

I solded and fixed the DC-contact, it was loose, but there is a component missing and i am unsure what component it is, so i have a picture and hope someone can help me out....
I'm a little unsure of what component that is missing, but it is backside off the mainboard, just below the dc connection.

[Q] Hd2 having seizures!!!

Hello,
I've had my hd2 for about 6 months now and about a month ago it started randomly crashing. I'd have to take the battery out and reset, but when i'd start about 1 out of ever 4 times it would show the inital launch screen, but the numbers in the bottom left would never come. So i'd have to remove the battery again and reboot.
Then it started happening more frequently. Random restarts, crashes, and the phone didnt like to boot at all most of the time.
Last night, it gets really bad and i am able to get into the phone once. After that it freezes always when you initially power on, you see the boot splash, but no numbers in the bottom left, no moving forward.
AND NOW when i power on, the screen stays black, and it just vibrates and will not stop at all unless i remove battery. In fact, as soon as i pop the battery in, it starts doing this.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try doing a HARD RESET.
If that does not help it means you have a damaged HD2 motherboard, try contacting T-Mobile or HTC for a replacement.
I'm 100% sure it is a heat problem. I do have the same problem. With my HD2 disassembled I checked that "freezing" the motherboard make my phone boot without a problem... and it worked properly as long as it stayed cool.
I'm trying to replace the motherboard by myself as I do not live within the USA...
Hope it helps.
Same exact problem here, although it happens less often for me. How do we keep the motherboard "cool" so it won't happen? or is this a sign of motherboard going bad soon and it'll be replaced sooner or later??
I think it is a sign of a dying phone... or at least a dying motherboard.
Maybe (just a theory) these are signs of a "cold joint" similar to what happens to the Xbox 360... and the way to fix it is to "reflow" the motherboard... but we need a more technical point of view on this one...
Thanks for the replies. I have tried the hard reset, but it just vibrates with the screen off still, no success in any attempts to do anything. I guess i will have to contact htc since i did not purchase the phone from tmobile.
I did notice before this happened that the phone was getting hot after even a few minutes of use. So i have to assume it is a damaged motherboard or whatever it is inside of my precious hd2 that makes it bring me joy.
Now i am joyless and sad.
Back to the old 2g iphone
*cries*
Im having the same problem too,its not even 3 months yet since i got my phone.can i still have tmo replace my phone?istill need to flash it back to the original shipped ROM.right now ive been flashing it with diff custom roms and still having the reboot issue.

Should I try to save my black screen nexus 4?

Hello people.
I need help to decide if I should try to save my nexus 4 or not. It has been dismantled for the past half a year and i recently got it to show signs of life after battling the steady red ring of death. (Was simple by the way, just used a wireless charger for a couple of minutes) But if I turn it on, it vibrates, the screen lights up and that is just about it. So i have no idea if the phone itself is functional. Some of you might tell me not to bother with such an old phone, hell, they aren't even sold anymore. But this phone has stuck by me through thick and thin, and has a sentimental value. I nearly jumped of joy when it showed signs of life after such a long time. I am not a rich man, so i need to manage my finances. Screen replacement would cost me 25 pounds, back housing would be another 10, but what if the phone is still not functional? Is there any way I can find out if I should take the gamble?
Some info -
I am not entirely sure if there is an OS currently installed on the device, as I was experimenting quite a bit before the battery run its coure.
I am also missing one of the connector things that are circled (there is one and a broken spot where another one should be) but i have no idea what it connects to. The little peg itself is safe and sound in my possession, if it can be welded back. It connects to whatever is under the power button on the back housing.

The screen is cracked in three places, but was working the last time I remember. But there have been many (and I mean many) dis and re assemblies since then.
I probably love this phone more than my friends and family. Just want my favourite piece of tech to be my companion again.
Could the red light be due to a dead battery?

Thankls for the reply. The battery is new and the red light issue is sorted. The phone just doesnt do much more other than vibrate and light up the screen. How do i know if it is still worth investing money in is the real question.

Battery Drain (Android OS and Cell Standby)

Hi All,
not sure if this is normal (dont think so) but i have annoying battery drain and dont know what i can do to fix it.
My screen on time is around the 2hr 30 mins mark before i will need to recharge - ive seen people getting 6 hours some how??
ive uninstalled all useless apps, wiped cache and all the normal things but still not worked (even location services off)
I just had a look today on WakeLockDectector and it appears it has something to do with the google app?
Does anyone know a solution to this battery drain? - cell mobile radio seems to keep my phone awake??

You're not the only one. I'm struggling with it since I bought this bloody phone. Had even exchanged battery.
Facing the same problems as you do. Perhaps our models are broken somehow?
It's hard to say...
Anyway, no clue what's going on.
Same problem just started. Was doing great after factory reset but along the way it's slipped

Nexus 6p had an unexpected short swim in the sea... trying to revive it :(

Hi all!
I'm writing here with deep hope that someone can help me somehow...
I got my 6p popped in the sea a month ago just as far s the camera glass goes. I've turned it off immediately, but because I was in a small place, didn't manage to find some phone shop or any way to open it and dismantle the battery. I did try to turned it on (stupid me) later on that day and after that left if for 2 days to dry.
My hopes rose when it did give some kind of a "life signal" when on charger but that's as far as I got...
So, when I put it on charger I get the Battery animation icon with 50% showing on the bottom, after few secs it shows 0%. Also, while on charger it just bootloops... can't get pass the Android boot animation, it just restarts. However, I can get to recovery (TWRP) and browse through it (make backups etc) while on charger it doesn't restart. The thing is that it only works with wall charger, I can't get to recovery when connected to computer via USB (so I can't even get that backup or transfer files from the phone ).
I've went to two phone repair shops in my town, but both said that it's dead. The thing is I'm not sure that they even tried with new battery, because this is a rare phone in my country and they probably don't even have one to try...
Anyway, I've ordered new battery, but I'm afraid if that'll help... I would like, at least to connect it somehow to my computer and try to transfer files and maybe do some factory resting or loading an image...
I have some pics from one of the repair shops, so I hope someone could help me determine if there is any help with it?
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Djape

In reality, you aren't going to get a reply because nobody has a clue what you've done. Post a video up of the failure and perhaps you might get a response, but in reality, you've done something right weird here, haven't you? I mean, who cleans their head unit.... just wipe the screen and be done with it.
Did you plug the old ribbon connector in while the unit was switched on? If so, my best guess is you've shorted something which is why your ribbon cable melted. Potentially what you've goosed as a result.... is a mystery.
Could be the entire screen, could be the entire unit, could be neither...
Might be time for a new one.
Might be time to find a local electronic repairer.
