JimmyJ Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Please recommend an Android repair shop, preferably with enough English to communicate. Woke up, phone is totally dead. No response at all to several batteries, worked fine when I turned it off last night. Old phone, but want to see if it can be restarted to save info etc. Not just a boot problem - plugging in charging cable (tried several), screen should acknowledge charging cable plus vibrate but zero response - screen remains totally black, no vibrate response, as if totally bricked. A few years ago I went to an LG store in CM. Chaingmailocator.com lists "LG Electronics Service Center & Northern Sales Office": Address 89/4-7, Bamrungburi Road, Mueang Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, 50100, Thailand Phone 053 283 888 Does this store still exist? I am not able to call out.. Also Google Maps not responding to Lg store and doesn't recognize the address. Does not even recognize the Street name, so I can't go there and see if it exists anymore. Thank you! Edited July 8, 2022 by JimmyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJ Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Another site lists it as: 89 47-7 Thanon Bumrung Buri, ตำบล พระสิงห์ Amphoe Mueang Chiang Mai, Chang Wat Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand Coordinate : 18.7815894, 98.9860476 Phone : +66 53 283 888 Maps recognizes the street but 89 47-7 doesn't seem to make sense - probably means 89 4-7. So if I want to explore, I guess heading for 89 Thanon Bumrung Buri would be the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android is software that belongs to Google and as it is open source code it is tailored by the android phone manufacturers to suit their product. What you want is a service centre for your type of phone. My wife had a phone with similar symptoms, I replaced the battery, the glued in type. When I made the second battery connection, the connection became red hot from a rapid battery discharge. Must have been an internal short. Have you checked if the batteries you have tried are discharged or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it no longer exists - which I believe is the case since Google Maps doesn't recognize "LG store" etc. - I need a generic Android repair shop and/or store that sells Androids and does repairs that can take a look at it.

There's a generic "Hold Power Button and Volume Up or Volume Down simultaneously", but no result. Edited July 8, 2022 by JimmyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Lou Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Have you tried searching "phone repair Chiang Mai", I did and found the answer to your question. If you're wanting a specific recommendation for an LG repair I wouldn't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Thanon Bumrung Buri is correct, south side of the moat near Pratuu Chang Mai market. I went there a few weeks ago, don't know if they do mobile phones, or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
