Helio Ocean

[Risket]

Awesome choice in music! d=(^_^)=b

[light24bulbs]

are there any better step by steps or anything. this is all sped up, sort of bad for meticulousness

[enjoiskating68]

what are those songs?

[xKJTx]

My problem happened to me 2 days ago where I woke up and I had a text message that had appeared on my screen. Now last night I had just played Dope Wars and got 5.4 million at end game, with all dept paid off. I put it on the charger. It wasn't hot when I woke up, the top keys, and the flip up number keys wouldn't work. I opened up the second flip for the full keyboard and it works... So I restart, same thing when it boots. Keyboard works, but no top keys!! Will opening and putting back help?

[xKJTx]

Well, I found out that my phone is very sick... LOL Taking it apart my have helped, but not fixed fully... Something else wrong and I need to get a new phone. Thanks tho for the movie to help me take it apart... It was fun...

[sushivskimchi]

omg thank you.

but tell me, do you know how to fix the screen?

because when my phone was not aparted, I turned my phone on and the screen was black.

u could hear the sounds but the screen wouldnt show up

help?

[BluPenguinSETT]

that depends on what's wrong with the screen, it could be a broken screen or a broken cable, you'll have to check manually....

[sweetnoey313]

the music was epic lol cool

[tha1evilgenius]

the screen on my ocean has been broken for months now. it looks like a cracked calculator. should i open it open and replace the screen or it is too late. and the headphone jack was broken before that happened. can you please give me a lil advice?

[BluPenguinSETT]

you can open it to replace the screen anytime if you're able to locate a replacement screen for it, the headphone jack is harder to replace but it wouldn't interfere with the screen on your ocean, its probably possible to buy an replacement screen from pantech if you contact them

[tha1evilgenius]

thanks for replying. after months of "googling" i actually just found the one place in nyc that fixes helio oceans. first i went to some lil helio store and the lady didnt know what to tell me. i get it back with a new screen monday but that headphone jack will still be broken. i gotta google harder for that 1

[portableteejay]

I sat for 5 minutes in my hot tub with my Ocean in my pocket before remembering it was there. I dried it out quite a bit but ended up with a continual "Emergency Mode"

Using your video I was able to open up my Ocean, clean it, then get it back working.

Thank You very much for your tutorial.

[vegadomis32988]

so i droped my ocean and it opened both ways lik slid both ways and got stuck.. then i forced it back together..

it still works but everytime i open the number pad its like grinding on something and its hard to close it...

do u think i should take it apart?

[BluPenguinSETT]

I'm not sure if that would be the best option, the drop could've cracked the plastic plate holding the 3 plates together, while taking it apart could Possibly help by removing/repairing the broken component, it also might cause problems in re-assembling if the damage was the areas where the screws go through, and unless you have plastic repairing epoxy and proper tools, you might have problems putting it back together after u open it up...

[link375]

great video! it helped me take mine appart and clean some of the contacts

[msdavis74]

Blu Penguin, do you fix the phones for a living. If not, maybe you should. I need to replace the housing on my ocean and I would be willing to pay you to do that for me.

[loliconstory]

Thanks for the time to make the video :)

Might come in handy when I might need to do repairs on mine ^^

[hydrolisk1792]

Wow, thanks. This was a very informational vid. I'm doing that PSP I wish project (if you call it that) and I needed a slider idea, and that was the best idea.

[foesjunky]

Dude, Your a life saver. My slider came unscrewed and I was able to fix it all because of you. My hero :)

[gticarlos2003]

hey my phone with the screen and i want to know how can i take out the memory to save all the numbers and pictures. great video

[edgartv1]

make a video putting back together..becuz i cant put it back together..lol

[djdryon]

it's called play the video backwards if you're confused...

[mhb772]

do you by any chance know how to put music through the usb on the ocean?

[californicarion2]

hey dude do you know how to fix the ear speaker, not the loud one but the talking one. because mine works only sometimes like when i am trying to call some one i cant hear anything but then i put it on speaker and i can hear it.

[BluPenguinSETT]

hm, I cant answer that without looking at it first. it could be anything from firmware malfunction (requiring a reset) or physical damage to the speaker itself...

[californicarion2]

well it was my cousin's phone and he gave it to me, but i think he did drop it

but if it is the firmware malfunction do i just reset the whole phone?

THANKS!

[BluPenguinSETT]

u could go to settings and do the factory reset and see if it works, but if he did drop it, then its possible the speaker or wires were damaged and you may need to have the speaker part replaced

[BladeGenexis]

May I ask what the name of the song is? =)

-Blade Genexis

[BladeGenexis]

Never mind. It's at the end of the video. :)

-Blade Genexis

[comyglitches]

do not do this mine broke

[hellonwheels999]

hay dude nice video i have a helio ocean to and it stoped working two days ago the off button and the directional pad dose not work. when i slide it both ways the screen dose not turn on onley the key board and the number pad only lights up . i was hopeing that u knew why and how and help me fix. hit me back if u know how

[BluPenguinSETT]

well if the off button doesn't work, have you tried taking out the battery out for bout a minute and putting it back in? it might be possible some wires got shaken loose, but i cant think of why the screen wouldn't turn on.. hmm

[CoolMoeG]

gotta love technology!

[MargieBaba]

hey dude i called helio and they dont do factory repairs, thanks for the how to video!!!!

[justkillen07]

y in da fuck would u do dat i would never do dat to my ocean

[BluPenguinSETT]

lol, cuz im a tech and i can fix anything from laptops to plasma TVs? and i also like taking random things apart to figure out how they work

[WingedDesperado]

The LCD screen on my ocean cracked and i cant find a repair place that works on helio phones. im this close to doing it my self O_o

[BluPenguinSETT]

haha, you probably could do it yourself if you can find replacement screens somewhere. most likely online

[HuntleyDre]

Liking da sonG

[CrescentSword]

You are awsome! Im almost to tears if I even drop my phone.

Can you remove the GPS?

[BluPenguinSETT]

haha thx... umm, as far as i can tell the GPS is built into the main board... maybe its possible but u would need a separate decoder for the GPS data and some wireless broadband to download the map data.. i think its not worth the amount of effort required to make it work lmao

[muffinboi580]

my screws dont go back in

[BluPenguinSETT]

theres 3 types of screws used on the phone... are you sure ur screwing the right ones in the appropriate slots?

[muffinboi580]

how did u seperate the numeric keypad from the screen?

[BluPenguinSETT]

after u get the qwerty part off, to open the silver slide, u have to pry the plastic cover off after removing the screws, it takes a lil bit of work with a flat screwdriver...

[clopey15]

quite possibly the most parts in a phone i have ever seen. could they have fit anymore into that thing?

[BluPenguinSETT]

maybe... there was a few hollow spaces here and there... :D

[nanananananabatman66]

what size is that screwdriver?

i have a little one and the screws wont come out?! the screwdriver im using unscrewed the one next to the battery butt cant anywhere else?!!?

[BluPenguinSETT]

im using a #3 from a screwdriver kit just for electronics u can get at any hardware store like ACE.. but, if its a cross tip, and the shaft fits in the holes where the screws are, then it should work... the screws are installed really tight so u have to apply some pressure at first, just be careful to not strip the tip of the screws...

[miichelexily]

3:24 That silver thingg that flappy thing

is that a simcard slot by any chance?

is there a simcard slot when you took

it apart?

Pls tell me asap.

[BluPenguinSETT]

no, that flappy thing is the cable that connects all the plates together... there is no removable sim card on this phone... i think its integrated into the main processor board.. the only slot there is, is for a microSD memory card...

[japawaiian]

i've done this a few times already. I work at a cell repair shop and my buttons were sticking like there was sand in my shit so i took it apart. Another time i took it apart to clean the dust under the lense. i love how he let the lcd just fall out haha. im planning on painting mine white like Greg is doing at Helio City. its gonna look sick!!

[J0K3R247]

Repair*

Would love 2 c how u put it back 2gether...but oh well nice vid anyway

[BluPenguinSETT]

haha actually it was because one of the connections between the first 2 plates were loose and some keys malfunctioned... but... i guess just play the video backwards?.. hahaha its almost the same thing

[J0K3R247]

Reapair my ass.... u did that 4 fun. lmao

[Allstrs15]

o shiiiat

tech nerd!

[minnow1130]
