No Service after rear, screen AND midframe replacement
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
I replaced cracked and/or dented parts on my s9+. Phone was working just fine before other than a lot of cosmetic damage. These include:
'''Back/rear glass'''
'''Midframe'''
'''Display/screen'''
Ever since the cellular signal strength is just awful. It ''exists'' but only in some rooms of my house and very week (-135dBm to ~ 110dBm if lucky). I was very careful with each part, and even did a full teardown to make sure no oils/dust/fingerprints were on any surface. ++I also replaced the antenna cables++ (the 2 blue and white cables) and no difference.
This cell issue is the only problem, wifi/nfc/bt all work just fine. And charging/microphone/speakers etc also work fine.
Any ideas on what part this could be? I ''did'' notice that the replacement midframe from ifixit has powder coat/paint in some spots where the original samsung midframe had some exposed aluminum as well as what ''look'' like conduction points/contacts. ++Does the midframe play an antenna boosting/connective/conductive role for cell signals?++ or might i just need to look at things like the charging board to be replaced?
Thanks!
