Recently i've broken my Amazon Fire 7 7th Gen (austin). It's probably power section but component markings on mine are not readable. Would anyone send closeup photo of austin's power section so i can read markings and note component placement?

I received a replacement unit today from the June batch.
I opened it up and realized that it looks a bit different. Maybe I'm just imagining it?
1. The backplate with the texture on it looks light brown, almost matches the brown rim/bezel. I could have sworn it was a darker almost gray color on the previous unit.
2. The Asus logo on the back was a chrome finish, now it has faint diagonal lines cut into it giving it a different look.
Someone please look at their unit and tell me if I'm just imagining this?
A picture would help.
+1 for some pics please and anything else that may have changed.
Mine sounds exactly like what you're explaining; it even has the same very faint lines on the ASUS logo cut in it diagonally. BTW my tablet is only 2½ week old.
Please check if you have any bleed on the screen

Hi,
Please check the light bleeding issue and take pictures if it's possible .
mine has the same diagonal lines on the asus logo, mine is also about 2 weeks old, got it from best buy, unfortunately i have some noticeable light bleed. I'm a premier silver member so im going to wait 40 days before exchanging it for another one. I love my tablet but I hope the next one has better quality control.

Don't have my early-stock 16GB in front of me to check, but my 32GB is only a few days old, and has the faint diagonal lines on the logo. I am unsure if my 16GB has the same, but I'd be *extremely* surprised if Asus has changed this, as it'd cost a lot of money to change molds for a barely-noticeable change. I'm fairly certain the plastic on my 16GB is brown, the same as my 32GB though.
And both units have an almost identical, minimal level of light bleed.
The biggest difference between the two (beyond memory) is that the newer unit shipped with the power supply faceplate already attached. (No, it's not second hand, both units were factory sealed.)
Apparently Asus realized they were costing themselves returns and/or tech support calls from folks who couldn't believe how hard you had to push to attach the faceplate, and thought their chargers were faulty. Hence they seem to have decided to pre-attach the faceplates to save on support / return costs. At least, that's my guess, but I'd put money on it.
I recently got a Nexus 4 screen replacement that I believe is a dud, since it looks like the pixel density was clearly not on par with the OEM (see first photo, I didn't blow it up or zoomed in in any way). There were some other issues with it, and the seller said that the flex cable may have been damaged. The other curiosities with it include having a yellow-ish tint with a dark holo when the background is supposed to be black, but at other times, it has no problems producing actual black (see second photo)
However, at the core, I just want to know, is it possible that a screen's pixel density becomes lower because of damage to the flex cable? Seller says I may not be eligible for a refund if it is damaged, but I don't know if I got a good screen in the first place.
I really don't know too much about this, but it looks like a poor quality screen, definitely not OEM.
6P Camera issues (hot pixels?)
I'm having issues with my brand new Nexus 6P device. While taking HDR+ photos under low light conditions, or using the flash with HDR+ I see a red dot on the right corner (vertical) or very center top (horizontal) in each single photo, while it is processing the image. After processing is done, the dot is being filtered out by the software, but I don't think this is normal... Since the dot is always in the same place. I have a few sample photos of how it looks in low light but not allowed to post links here yet.
The red dot does not appear when HDR+ is switched off, or when there's plenty of light when taking the photo.
I'm guessing nobody else has this issue, or I'm worried for nothing. It's just peculiar how the red spot is always at the exact same place, while processing. That got me wondering if there is something wrong with it.
I have not had this issue on the Nexus 6P. However, I've had this issue on a Canon digital camera before, although the dot appeared in all my photos!
What I can tell you is that stuck/hot pixels are common. In fact, almost all camera sensors are produced with some amount of bad pixels (on accident of course, just part of manufacturing tiny things), but they simply modify the firmware to edit the pixel out. This only works so long as there aren't a ton of bad pixels or no new bad pixels arise after the camera is shipped out. In the case of my Canon camera, I had to send it back under warranty for them to modify the firmware and map out the bad pixel. Later, when I got more bad pixels out of warranty, I sideloaded custom software on the camera to map out the new ones myself.
Now, what may be happening in your case is that the Nexus 6P firmware is designed to try to map out bad pixels on the fly. Does the dot appear in any final photos, or just in the processing preview? Either way, I would suggest contacting customer support immediately as your phone may require a replacement to prevent it getting any worse!

Check to see if there is any bleed on the screen, I had something vaguely similar on my s3 where I had some black dots, visible only in certain conditions, there is a screen test app which allows the screen to be on but whilst it's blacked out, at certain angles you can see the blotches.
Apogies if this isn't the case...
If not, take pics of clear and bright images eg: a white piece of paper or anything light and clear, take shots with different effects turned on on the camera to see if you can capture the speck.
If it does indeed appear to be a hardware fault the only fix is going to be a return or a hardware fix.
I got myself a Moto G5 4gb/32 GB variant just yesterday from FLIPKART. As I opened the box and inspected the item, I discovered that there was a line/scratch on the camera lens of the device (see attached pic for reference). I then proceeded to set up the phone and check the picture and video quality of the phone whether it was fine or not and to my surprise, it turned out to be working okay. I have compared my handset with another Moto G5 Plus handset and that piece clearly did not have this line/stratch problem but the camera quality of that set was the same as mine.

Should I be concerned about this little problem and issue a replacement request on FLIPKART? Or just leave it be?
Here are some sample photos I've taken using the camera of this phone:

Replace it. As camera lens also do play an important role in taking pictures.

Hi. Just wanted to cross verify whether the scratch is on the lens assembly itself, or on the safety glass, and on what place exactly.. Asking this as I also have a very very slight mark near the two small sensors located on the right of the lens. Tried to get from your picture but didn't quite catch that, sorry.. If possible can you encircle the scratch in the picture?
I have a SM-G935V S7edge that no longer has a display. Blue and green and red LEDs work fine. Back and recent buttons light up. I can even navigate through the phone with sideSync but absolutely no display at all. Bad display board? Can I make necessary repairs with my rock and hammer? Qouted 359.00 for display board replacement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
For one thing, Wrong forum. There's a specific forum for the Galaxy S7 Edge.
I'm going to assume that you mean the notification RGB led above the display. And if that's the case then that sounds like a bad display. If you try to repair it yourself then you will be in for a nightmare. I can't post links yet but check out JerryRigEverything on youtube for a S7 Edge teardown. As he says in the video, it's not easy, even touching the LCD while removing it will break the LCD and the most likely crack the glass. The replacements for the edge series displays are also very expensive compared to say a replacement iPhone screen.
Replacement Screen Price As of Post:
279.94$ USD on Amazon
