When ever I get a PC to fix with similar problems like the one your mate fixed, I always look at the psu for bad Ecaps Albert.

Those modern tablets and smartphones all have the glass touchscreen problem with those glued-on breakable hard to remove thin glass layers with the internal connected flatcable/flexprint. They are a real pain in the b.tt. And it happened that Chinese sellers didn't pack the new ordered replacement touchscreens safely to protect them while on transport, so they arrived completely broken. But no warranty was given by those sellers after a complaint was opened. Why I stopped fixing tablets with broken touchscreens.

In reply to Albert van Bemmelen.

Your friend has probably fixed many of the smartphones. He can probably do the work on them much faster than us because he has done so many.
Right now I am replacing the charge port in my grandbabies Kindle Fire 2017 7" 7th Gen. Man, this thing has adhesive on top of adhesive! My son was given two of them from a friend of his. He told me today that the other one was having problems charging also, so tomorrow I will trade him tablets and repair the other as well.

For us these are of course standard repairs Robert, but there probably aren't that many specialized repair shops left in our town, if there were any. And sometimes they even come to my friend's ICT shop after they messed up at other shops. And my friend always tries to help any customer as fast as possible. It happens that he fixes their smartphones while they are waiting. Which is something I disapprove of because it can endanger the repair if time becomes an issue. But it is his shop why I only point out my concerns in those cases like friends do.

Good job, Albert. I don't see why so many people were afraid of the repair. They should have suspected bad e-caps.

I of course meant 7000 Farad instead of joule. This is that Ultra supercap video:
