My friend has a Note 2 and he just had a SDS.
The rest of the phone is fine so only the eMMC is dead.
He found a broken Note 2 for sale that has a working eMMC chip
Can he replace his dead eMMC with the good eMMC from the broken Note 2?
I'm not sure but I think that you have to replace the whole mainboard, not just the chip.

What makes you think that the rest of the phone is ok? With SDS only a sensor is slightly fading.

Lol i don't know. 99% of the time it's only the eMMC chip. That's what they told him at the phone shop

So my phone is covered under warranty, and since original mytouch 4g crapped on me, they sent me a whole new replacement phone. But what do you know? When I compared the two phones side by side, there was a obvious difference in the screen quality, specially the greys. Since then, T-mobile have sent me about 4 replacement mytouchs, all of them had problems, e.g) display quality/camera/power button stuck and all of them had bad display/emmc chip according to the data on xda. Should I just accept a phone they send me with both a bad screen and emmc chip and just forget about it and take my chances?
I wouldn't worry about the chip. I have a bad chip and am on my 1 millionth flash. If the chip fries, send it back. The screen, well, you have to look at it. Soooo, up to you.

Its just really disappointing to see that of the 4-5 phones they send me, none of them had a good screen or a emmc chip=/
I would tend to agree
anyone else have a similar problem?
After 4 or 5 replacements, I would just keep the phone and get on with life. I also have the bad emmc chip but never had a problem flashing different roms *knock on wood*
Hey Fellow Enthusiasts,
I dropped my Note 3 two days ago, with a case obviously. There are no damages, but I'm just afraid the impact will cause the hardware parts to go loose, like you know I'm afraid the parts on the mainboard/motherboard of the phone will go loose. Can you guys tell me whether it will go loose because I'm really worried about my phone.

I dropped it from around chest/shoulder height, I'm around 5 feet 8. Will the drop cause the hardware parts to go loose? Like will the parts come off?
Dropped mine protected by a Spigen Slim Armor case about 3-4 feet to concrete. Not a sound and it bounced 4"......works as well as or better than new. There is zero visible damage.

You droped it with case on and not from a big height. Dont worry it would have done nothing to hardware.
Do you hear sounds of parts moving or you phone feels glitchy when holding it?

Don't worry about the parts on the inside, unless something is not working you don't have to worry, pretty much everything is either solded or attached with screws. Takes a lot of force for something to actually go "loose" from the outside.

Yes, the whole main board will come apart, be careful.

Stop being so paranoid - you dropped it and you seem to have had no ill effects.
Nostradamus isn't currently an xda member - I think he was banned for future trolling - so no-one here knows what is going to happen to your device in the future.
If it suddenly stops working in some way, you may have damaged it. Until then, stop worrying, use your phone and stop with the "will-it-won't-it" posts - they're pointless.
Hi,
Ive been using Galaxy Note 3 N9005 for a while, and now Im facing with an odd RAM issue....
The device shows 1.424 Gb for total amount of RAM! looks like I burned out exactly 1Gb of my RAM:crying::crying:
Its confirmed by antutu benchmark too...[The forum wont let me to link pics] the score is 32126 !
I checked ifixit for RAM replacement availability but Im kind of noob ... so Im gonna ask it here .... Is there anyway I can replace the RAM on the Chipset? and where is it exactly?
Nobody got any idea?
Are you sure about your cell phone model? Note 3 do not uses the "i" letter on model. Isn't "N" instead? (I was looking to the title of your post, nevermind) Here I get 2,71 gb for total amount of RAM. You can try that factory reset option on recovery. There is no way to replace RAM on soc like ours Snapdragon 800.
As other person said, everything is soldered, so you would need special equipment for BGA soldering. RAM is inside one module consisting of 6 X 4Gb chips stacked in pairs. The only thing you could do is swap whole motherboard, if you can find one for good price, but shouldn't you still have warranty? Phone came out just about a yr ago.

No unfortunately my country doesnt support universal warranties. So there is no way to replace it by hand...Im searching for board, but the imei and board number etc shouldnt be matched? If I change the board what wrong could come up?

Sry my bad I meant N9005. I guass exynos versions can get 2.7Gb of total RAM and snap versions only get 2.4Gb. I tried reset same as old.
I swapped MB on GS3, as long as IMEI on new MB is clean I can't think of any issues unless you mess something up. BTW, I just remember something: few yrs ago Nvidia released faulty GPU processors, where solder connectors inside would crack, loose connection and stop working. Somebody came out with fix, to basically bake the card in the oven (I kid you not), if you did it exactly at right temperature, it would melt and reflow the solder inside, so the card would work again. I know it's a very long shot and assuming it's just the broken solder inside you could google "nvidia oven bake " for details and maybe try, I don't know, chances are probably 99% it will fail and mess MB even more, but if you're going to throw it out and get new one, probably nothing to loose, just make sure take out all the parts, especially USB/charging board.

Hi,
I have a Nexus 4 16GB here and a Nexus 4 8 GB and my 16GB one isn't working, the screen turns on and it boots fine but the screen is completely unresponsive to touch...
I have tried swapping the logic boards over and the 16GB one doesn't work in the other phone either, which rules out the screen/digitizer but points towards the logic board...
I can't even click on anything in TWRP... Anyone got any ideas or advice?
Bump, could really do with some help on this...
Sounds like display driver on the logic board is done.

I don't know, but when it happened to my other phone, replacing the logic board was the route I took.
BUmp
I'm afraid nothing can be done on that borked mobo. At least the digitiser is fine!
Shame it's a knockoff digitizer, it was a phone purchased as "brand new" which it clearly wasn't, from eBay.
Lasted a matter of a day before giving up...
I got a full refund after enough hastle so now I'm left with this bit of junk I my room.
Got a spare battery and front/back if I damage my legit 8gb one.
Should I remove the battery from the poop phone? (Does that stop them from becoming dead?)
Bump
I am also suffering from same problem, but in my phone 1/5 Lower part of screen is not receiving any touch, i want to ask something that shall i need to change the digitizer only or digitizer+screen

Hi. I have a rather weird story please read it. So, some months ago my Note 4 died and it wouldnt turn on anymore with no signs of life. Itried it with a friend's battery and it still wouldnt turn on so i thought that the problem might be with the motherboard so i bought a new motherboard from china. The problem is that even iwth the new motherboard that i just replaced my phone stilll wouldnt turn on! What might have i done wrong? Please help
It's possible you haven't reconnected all the connectors especially one or both of those on the back of the motherboard that click into place.
It's also possible that the failure is for another reason other than the motherboard.
My SM-N910F has recently failed with no prior warning with no indication what's causing the problem. I've tried adding the padding on the eMMC chip trick but that doesn't work for me.
can you please show me where the 2 connectors that need to click are?
