Factory Data Reset Needs Tweeking

[piggynose]

Hi aber techies. I need your techinical know how. To cut a long story short, My phone has refused to work since i put it on flight mode 2 days ago. i´ve switched off the flight mode after we landed. So when i got home i automatically assumed it would work like it always does with my router. Wrong, it wouldn´t. I was told by a phone shop to do a factory data reset, so i did and worked for all of 5 mins then died again. Any advice would be appreciated, as i need it for work on Monday. Incidentally my phone is a LG K10 (2017).

chris, i was at the end of my tether, i tried disabling and enabling flight mode about 15 times, nothing!! i even tried safe mode, turned it off and back on countless times. You name it i tried it. Its now in a phone shop, they said they think i need a microchip replacing. I think hoppy´s right, its probably time to buy an new un.

>>> they said they think i need a microchip replacing

Yes - but what did they say about your phone?

Things aren't designed with repairs in mind these days.

Quite the opposite, they are designed to need replacing often.

However if it only did 18 months, perhaps change makes.

chris, i got the phone back today after they(the repair shop) had given up on it.
Its kind of weird, cuz its trying to connect but cant stay connected for more than a minute or two. I suppose i have to accept its going to mobile phone heaven.

How odd. Does it work okay otherwise? Connects to the internet via 4G?
