Today my phone died on me. It just suddenly stopped working but before that, it was randomly rebooting by itself whenever I'm using it. It started few months ago, at first it was rebooting once it reach 50% battery and below but later on it gotten worse that i cant properly use it and its annoying most importantly when you are having conversation via FB MESSENGER, cant even open the camera app because it will surely power off right away not unless you plugged it in a power source (charger). I tried asking for support but the they said it was a battery issue. I went to a technician ( referring to my phones manufacturer). He checked it and told me that it was absolutely a battery issue unfortunately they dont have available batteries since my phone is already obsolete ( I purchased it last 2017). I tried looking for a different alternative, asked other stores but no luck. I searched online and finally got some lead. I purchased a battery from LAZADA and decided to install it by myself since I have the tools to open it up and a little knowledge on replacing it.
Everything went smoothly, i successfully pry out the screen without damage and as well as the other conponents, i removed the old battery and installed the new one. I tested it out and it turned on! I was positive that i successfully did it! I turn it back off reinstall the components and put some adhesive for the screen, put it together and leave a couple of minutes. I turn it back on and it just flashed. I tried again but no luck. I open it up to see if the battery flex disconnects but it still intact. I turn It back on hoping it will work this time but it didnt show any signs of life. I had this phone for almost 4 years and I have no complains in terms of performance since it has QSNAPDRAGON 835 PROCESSOR the only thing that annoys me is that it keeps on rebooting thats it.
This morning I went to a different phone technician, have it checked. He test it out to see whats going on. He told me the very bad news. My motherboard is gone. Maybe it tripped when i installed the battery since its not an authentic battery. Its a devastating news to me. I took care of my phone for such a long time, it does not have any history of dropping or anything. No dents nor scratches. It looked brandnew to me because i cared for it so much and now its gone. Its a lesson for me not to purchase counterfeit items most especially Main components like baterries and etc. I know its not a good day for me but i hope you have an excellent day today guys.
