For Samsung Galaxy A16 Main Board to LCD Flex Cable

This is a replacement main board to LCD flex cable for the Samsung Galaxy A16, carrying the display signal from the main board to the screen. It is used where the Galaxy A16 has no display at all while the phone still powers on, a flickering picture, lines across the screen, or a display that cuts out when the case is pressed.

A blank or faulty display on the Galaxy A16 can also be caused by the screen itself or by a loose connector rather than the flex cable, so check the screen and its connectors first before fitting a replacement.

This cable is sold on its own for engineers and confident home repairers replacing the existing cable inside the Galaxy A16.

• Samsung Galaxy A16

• The screen stays black while the phone still rings, vibrates or connects to a computer.
• The display flickers, shows lines or goes blank when the phone is pressed, twisted or dropped.
• The picture only returns when pressure is applied near the display connector.
• A new screen was fitted but shows no image, and the old screen behaves the same way.
• Before replacing, disconnect the battery and reseat the display connectors — a loose connector can cause the same symptoms.

On the phone or tablet go to Settings › About phone (or About tablet). The model number starts with SM- (for example SM-A145R). It is also printed on the box the phone came in.
