Replacing charge board? Buying new one? - ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers

Hi i need to buy charge board which is at bottom of phone but i couldnt decide which one i must buy https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bB3FUtUU this one is looking like good but i dont know is it fake or original. Maybe there is not an original one but i dont want to break my phone. What would you suggest?

Looks good to me - normally you have to solder on the vibrator unit taking it from your old board if it's not original.
Bought a copy for my idol 3 from ali and it worked fine go for it.

want to buy jamin motherboard

I am looking for a used jamin motherboard (a working board) if anyone has one for sell. Mine is completely dead. Maybe some one here has a jamin with a broke screen and wants to sell the motherboard. or a board with something minor wrong but that still works.
Have a look in e-bay... there's lot's of spare parts for our prophet's there... Be careful with what you buy...
Yes. I have been looking on ebay with no luck yet.

Replacement full casing/housing

I purchased one of these as the housing i had was getting very messy
http://cgi.ebay.ie/FULL-HOUSING-KEYBOARD-HTC-TyTN-II-2-P4550-P-KAISER-/180496072719?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0667800f
DONT BUY THIS KIT !!!
The item was listed as new but clearly most of the parts were used.
The biggest problem I had was with the front face plate.
There is a few gold "connectors" that have to be melted in the plastic.
I had to break these out of my old case and used a soldering iron to put them into the new faceplate.
There was also the gold screw holes! these were a real pain.
Again they needed to be broken from the old case and then gently heated with the iron until they melted into their respective hole.
Maybe this is what I should have expected but it would have been nice if they said a little fiddling was required for fitting.
The keyboard was also not as the picture is. It was a chinese keyboard so I just used my own.
All in all it worked out well and my phone looks spanking new but its not really a worthwhile mod given the cost and hastle.
I was also planning to buy that housing but had a second thought about the keyboard. my original keyboard is all black and doesnt have the white numpad.
thanx for the advice ! ill try to inquire from other seller.
how about this one?
http://cgi.ebay.ph/FULL-HOUSING-KEY...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b0bf01ef
A few days ago I received the same housing from the same vendor and is all ok. Mounting screw is settled and the exterior is not damaged.
Before ordering I contacted him and sent a picture of my phone. When he confirmed that everything (including keyboard) is identical, I ordered. I got the body and I get happy.
I think you had bad luck
Maybe its bad luck but eBay rules are pretty straight forward.
I was not sold what was listed in the pictured and it was not new (item had marks from use where case slides apart and also scratching.)
The keyboard was not the one in the picutes. I actually have a full black KB but wanted to go with the white panelled one in the pic.
What I got was a chinese all black KB. Useless to me.
Anyway, i got my phone rebuilt and its looks new and works great. It took a little more fiddling than I would have expected and the KB was wrong.
I left Neutral feedback for the vendor because I felt I got what I needed.
codejack:
sorry to say but it is really a bad luck. lets try to be careful with items like that and inquire every detail of the item we will buy. thanks for sharing pal

thanks for the tip. ill try to send a picture of my unit when i buy a full housing so that everything will be clear to the seller

Not sure about the others. But the phone seems like not able to get opened up as easy as unscrewing the screw. Probably will leave some scratches or damage to the digitizer etc. Is the price differ that much?
PS: What about IMEI number?? If you are buying demo unit I don't think you will have any valid IMEI from the demo phone.

He could just use one from an old phone (or maybe his carrier doesn't care about phones without IMEI-numbers).

If you have the demo units that had been used during launch then your going to need more then a Mobo. The screens don't actually work so you'll need one of those. Also a battery. Then the Mobo. Working Spen, because the demo units don't actually work. Then you need to get the equipment to flash a IMEI if the Mobo doesn't have one. Just at the price of Mobo replacements your better off buying a real Note 4 straight up.
ok I want to do that because I already did with an S5 I purchase a demo unit then just replaced the motherboard with another that I have, and now I have a fully functional galasy S5, but I don´t know if it is the same with a note 4 by the way the demo unit of the galaxy S5 is the g900x model and use it with a g900h motherboard

hmmm What i know so its possible you just need to change the motherboard with IMEI .
Cheerz

this is really old and all, but:
i opened a note 4 live demo unit last week:
the antenna cables between the mainboard and the bottom/usb PCB are missing including the connectors on the boards(s),
so it would appear that you at least need to add those cables, and either solder the connectors on the bottom pcb (or replace the whole bottom pcb, which is likely easier).
and beyond that, i cannot tell if the actual antennas are maybe missing too.
(and maybe one of the two cables is for wifi, which could explain that wifi is rather weak on my note4)
I believe that demo units are actually fully functional units of the retail product. The only difference is that the OS has been customized so it contain additional retail demo bloatware.
i own three note4 demo units (off ebay) and used them for years, with wifi tethering to a low-end phone for internet.
here is a picture of a disassembled note4 demo unit (right/top) compared to a regular (gsm) unit (bottom/left).
imgur.com/a/A1WKlJK
please observe the missing cables and unpopulated pcb connectors.
i dont't know about the other radio hardware.
i've had an offer from somebody who can supposedly turn a demo unit into a functional phone with a software fix, but the missing cable speaks against that.
otherwise the main difference is that demo units have the "samsung retail mode" app installed, which does all kinds of annoying things, and blocks any removal of itself through regular means (unless you know it's password), but getting rid of it is rather trivial, because the bootloader of the demo units (that i had) is not locked. you can just flash a new rom (AND wipe userdata)... or even just a custom recovery, and delete the retail-mode app from the system through the recovery.
but even then, no cellular radio.
and no gps(!), supposedly because gps is handled by the same chip.

Help! I need leeco le pro 3 motherboard..

My phone was turned off while charging and it does not turn on at all. motherboard burned. Please help me if you know a place where I can find a motherboard selling board.
You probably do not need the full motherboard. are you sure that it wasn't just the usb card that was burned? Obviously get rid of the usb cable. BTW, this happened to me also.

You can buy the Leeco x522 for just $107 on Amazon and it has a snapdragon 625 processor and is pretty freaking sweet for just over a hundred bucks. Maybe consider buying that instead of fixing this one.

Thanks for your help, my friend. I want to use this phone. because the phone is very nice. I'm thinking of taking AliExpress. Is there any risk that the motherboard is problematic?

Aliexpress has a money back guarantee.
I don't know the specifics. Because, I haven't ordered from them. But, I have been told that they are reputable and offer a good warranty.
Again, be sure its not the USB card.
I thought my motherboard was fried but it turned out being the USB card, which is extremely easy to fix.
Another option if you live near a large city, take it to a shop that does repairs at the component level.
There is repair through mail shops such as : Louis Grossman at https://www.rossmanngroup.com he has become well known for his YouTube channel. The guy knows his stuff, and I understand that his pricing is fair. Plus, he has several technicians employed so his repairs are fast. His speciality is Apple. But, he repairs android as well.
There are many shops like his: I.E : https://www.ittechrepair.com/ it may save you the headache and some money to use a professional shop that has the tools to do micro soldering repairs.
Good luck.

Zte Axon 7 USBC Chagring port pins broken

My kid tried to put micro usb cable into axon7 charging port, which broke the pins of charging port.
Axon 7 is not available in India and no service centers also. Is it possible to replace this charging port with some other phone port.
I went to local mechanic and he tried with OP2 and Pixel phone charging port. But they did not fit.
Any suggestions.

If you can't get a new port, it will need a new mainboard. Possibly better just to replace the phone.

He'll just need the USB PCB like this one ^^. Not a whole new mainboard.

That's good to know
So next question, how old is it? If over a year, maybe have a new battery in it whilst it's apart.

lol if you buy that you'll have to desolder the old one's pins and solder the new. They are SMD and have very little spacing so you'll need experience and a lot of patience to solder it right.
Long story short: Too difficult, simply buy the module that has the port soldered to it and replace it. It is as simple as taking the broken one off and putting the new one, then snapping the connectors in place
I just ordered this yesterday. USB PORT https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-ZTE-Axon-7-A2017-USB-Charger-Charging-Port-Dock-Connector-Flex-Cable-Part/163157945601?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Just wondering if you've had success with the boards you ordered and the phone connects to your service provider all right?
Want to ask a follow-up question since I actually had somewhat the same problem (my charging port melted from what I assume to be a faulty cable). I ordered the daughterboard like the one you linked from a Chinese seller, the phone booted up alright but it gets no service, so I'm just wondering if you've had success getting service after you changed the board? I also started my own thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/a2017u-service-daughterboard-charging-t3841038

Yeah I did, I made sure that I connect the skinny one on the right as well as the main flex cable. The old daughterboard with the destroyed port gets service when I put it back in but the new one I got doesn't. So I was wondering if anyone has successfully used one of those daughterboards and gotten service.. Maybe the daughterboard comes from a Chinese version and is having trouble reading SIM from the American version of the stock ROM?

Check the contacts that touch on the antenna pads of the aluminum backplate. Maybe it's got something to do with that

That's checked as well, no problem there. Works with the old daughterboard but not the new one. I think that I got the Chinese version of the daughterboard and my phone is the American version... Was it the same for you when you changed your daughterboard/phone? Did you get service right away? If you have the US version, where did you get the board?
This is relevant to the OP as well since the replacement bought from Aliexpress most likely comes from an A2017 (Chinese) not A2017G(global) or A2017U (US).
