| + | [title] Common Issues |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] Most flip 3s suffer from one of these issues: |
| + | [* black] Its USB port was damaged by a drunkard who didn't care to check what way he was inserting the cable. It actually is delicate though so I shouldn't complain too much. |
| + | [* black] The battery has gone bad. Most of the time the battery expands and presses the case into the buttons making it turn on but be unable to turn off or use buttons. The best way to check is to try to use the buttons. If any are not working it is a probable issue. Often the case becomes curved slightly. |
| + | [* black] It was dropped. Often an inductor breaks off. Sometimes it doesn't break off all the way but you would need to solder it back on. Its actually quite easy. The sign that this happened is everything looks good but there is no sound. |
| + | [* black] The flip 3 charges but does not turn on. An expanding battery or a drop led to the small white ribbon getting ripped by the battery. This took me a while to diagnose as the ripped point was right on the exit hole to the control module under the motherboard. |
| + | [* black] I have seen various issues relating to forever charging, control issues, the flip 3 turns on but won't turn off. There is a little chip next to the battery connection and is almost always the culprit. Sometimes a trace is burned, sometimes everything looks good. I believe that chip deals with power on states. |
