Explanation and Apology

[N-Gage4ever]

Dear XDA Moderators, Developers and Members...

I'm a Le Max 2 user for 3 years. I've ordered phone from Aliexpress:

At the begin of the second year, my phone's motherboard has been short circuit by a water damage. This short circuit caused batter draining. So it drains anytime even the phone is completely off. I had to use the phone with this issue for 2 years. I couldn't buy a new motherboard because dollar rate is high on Turkey and I couldn't afford it.

Now I want to apology from every moderators, developers and members that I disturb by asking battery life on each topic and being too aggressive sometimes. I know I was about to get banned from the forum because of those behaviors. But I want you to know that I wasn't trolling, spamming or kidding. I was asking battery life because it was more important for me than any user who use a normal phone. But I promise that I'm never gonna ask it again no matter how would it be important for me. I apology again to become too much aggressive sometimes but if you'd have to live with a broken phone, I'm sure it'd make you aggressive too sometimes.

I'm still using this phone and I have to use it for a while because of the dollar rate in Turkey. I have a small request for you. If you have a le max 2 that you don't use, it'd be greatly helpful to send me its motherboard for a proper price.

Best regards and apologies. Dear XDA family, believe me or not, I love you all

Heyyo N-Gage4ever, Oh I see, no worries bud I can understand the frustration with a device acting up.

I dunno how comfortable you feel with it, but you could open up your device and then use cotton swabs and isopropyl 99% and try to clean the liquid residue.

Resealing your x2 afterwards would require some new double sided adhesive tape like this one I used on my x2.

https://www.amazon.ca/MMOBIEL-Adhesive-Tablets-Digitizer-Display/dp/B00PVWMTA6

The most important part about opening up an x2 is to heat the device enough to open up the screen without damaging it. It should be hot enough that you can't hold the device for long so I'd recommend using thin gloves with rubber grip and two suction cups.

If you're not comfortable doing this? You could try asking a smart device repair shop... Alebit, their repair estimate might be high and you might be better off saving the money instead for something like an external battery you can just carry with you.

Good luck!

PS, LineageOS 16.0 does have a QuickCharge toggle thanks to lucchetto :good:

Dear Mard,

Thank you so much for your respond. On 3rd April, I gave my phone a device repair shop. They opened up my device and after a few days they said me that there is a short circuit on motherboard that drains my battery. And they also said they need another motherboard to fix the issue.

Can you please look at this article? https://www.ubreakifix.com/blog/all-about-iphonecell-phone-water-damage It explains my issue perfectly. Especially this passage:

Let’s look at some of the other consequences of a short circuit. Like we showed above, if the drop of water stays on the circuit for too long, the battery will drain and eventually die all together. Don’t believe me? Try connecting the positive and negative terminals of a battery together. The battery will begin to get hot as it quickly discharges and eventually reaches a state where it cannot recharge. This is a very common issue in water damaged phones and if left unchecked, the lithium ion battery found in the device can be irreversibly damaged. Other parts that commonly short out are charge ports, flex cables and mechanical buttons.

PS. Thank you for the info and all your works. The developer setting thing was a joke you know..

Oh hmm, ok yeah if there is damage to the circuit? Unfortunately, it does sound like the motherboard itself would need to be replaced... is there any offers online such as eBay where people are selling their x2's for spare parts only? That could be something to check into.

Otherwise? There is a lot of pretty darn good Xiaomi devices for good budgets that might work for you. I'd recommend of course checking their 3G and LTE frequency bands to ensure they're compatible to your carrier before buying them... otherwise? The LeEco Le 2 isn't as powerful as our Le Max 2, but they can be found for pretty cheap these days and also have good custom ROM support.

As for the setting for QC? It has been requested quite a bit tbh and luckily lucchetto revamped x2's devicesettings to include a QuickCharge toggle and his implementation didn't even require modifying our selinux policies which was nice too, so it was an easy include for LineageOS 16.0. He is the maintainer for RevengeOS and his trees are currently LineageOS based which is why his commit was super easy to bring to LineageOS 16.0.

Yes. I checked lots of site including of Ebay but only Aliexpress in that I could find motherboard. And the price is too high there. Then I thought it'd be a nice idea to share my situation on XDA. Because there are plenty of X2 users here and I'm sure some of them don't use their phone anymore.... Because our phone is old now.

Well we are in a financial crisis as country and our local currency became valueless to much against dollar and euro. So there isn't a cheap device for us. But LG V30's price seems proper. I'm planning to buy it in the future. But I have to move on with my current phone for now

Yeah this is a great news then! Thank you again and thanks @Lucchetto00

The price of the motherboard in China is very user-friendly, because after LeTV is gone, many people are willing to take out their equipment, and this is a better device ：五指交叉：

Hello. Thank you. I couldn't look at here for a while. Please check your inbox.

The prices on Aliexpress is too much for me because of the dollar rate in Turkey. We have financial issues nowadays and our inflation is high. So I need a better price to buy a motherboard.

Have a nice day!
