Getting to Know Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro: Features That Matter for Repairs

Before we dive into repairs and spare parts for your Oppo Reno 12 Pro, it's good to know what kind of machine you have in your hands. The Oppo Reno 12 Pro isn't just any mobile; it's a device that combines elegance and power. Understanding its inner workings will help you better identify which spare part you need and why certain parts are more susceptible to damage.

This mobile stands out for its stylish design. With a thickness of around 7.40mm - 7.45mm and an approximate weight of 180g-181g (depending on the colour), it feels comfortable in the hand. However, this slimness and lightness, combined with its glass back and a plastic frame, make it vulnerable to damage from drops if not adequately protected. The screen, a technological marvel, is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, one of the most resistant glasses on the market, but, as we'll see, it's not indestructible.

The combination of a glass back, which gives it a premium feel, with a plastic frame, which helps keep weight and cost down, has direct implications for repairs. Glass, though elegant, is more fragile than plastic or metal when impacted, making back covers for the Oppo Reno 12 Pro a commonly sought-after spare part. On the other hand, a plastic frame might not absorb shocks as effectively as a metal one, potentially transferring more impact energy to internal components or the screen itself.

A very positive feature for the device's longevity is its compatibility with microSD cards (SD 3.0), likely using a shared SIM slot. This means if you run out of space, you can easily expand it, which is a great incentive to consider repairing other components instead of prematurely replacing your mobile. If the battery fails or the screen breaks, knowing that storage won't be a future bottleneck makes investing in a repair more worthwhile.

Key Oppo Reno 12 Pro Specifications for Your Repairs

For your quick reference, here's a table with the most relevant features when looking for spare parts:

Knowing these details will be very helpful. For example, the IP65 certification offers good protection against dust and water splashes, but it's crucial to remember that this resistance can be compromised if the phone suffers impacts, or has cracks in the screen or back cover. A timely repair can help maintain that protection.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro Screens: When Your Window to the World Needs Fixing 🖼️

The screen is, without a doubt, one of the most vital components of your Oppo Reno 12 Pro. It's your window to everything: your photos, videos, apps, and how you interact with the digital world. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most exposed and prone to damage. A silly drop, an unexpected knock, or even pressure in a tight pocket can result in a cracked Oppo Reno 12 Pro screen, displaying smudges, coloured lines, or simply not responding to touch.

The most common causes of screen damage are drops and direct impacts. Although your Reno 12 Pro features robust Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 protection, no glass is completely indestructible. Other causes can include excessive pressure or contact with liquids, especially if the mobile already had a pre-existing crack that compromised its IP65 seal. On rare occasions, internal panel failures can occur.

When it's time to replace your Oppo Reno 12 Pro screen, you'll find various options and qualities on the market. It's essential to understand the differences to make the best decision based on your needs and budget. The Oppo Reno 12 Pro uses a Flexible AMOLED screen from the factory, which sets a high standard for visual quality.

Types of Replacement Screens Available:

• Original (AMOLED/Flexible AMOLED): This is the screen Oppo installs at the factory or an identical one supplied by the same manufacturer. It offers the best image quality, vibrant colours, deep blacks, the same touch response, and full compatibility with features like the in-screen fingerprint sensor. It's the ideal option if you want your mobile to be exactly like it was on day one. At iLevante.com, we strive to offer you this superior quality.
• OLED/AMOLED Aftermarket (Premium Quality): These are screens made by third parties using OLED or AMOLED technology. They can be an excellent alternative, offering quality very close to the original. Here we find two important sub-types:
  • Soft OLED: They use a flexible plastic substrate, similar to the originals in many high-end mobiles. They are more durable and resistant to small impacts or flexes than Hard OLEDs. They tend to be more expensive than Hard OLEDs but cheaper than originals. Given the "Flexible AMOLED" nature of the Reno 12 Pro's original screen, an aftermarket Soft OLED would be a highly recommended option to maintain the integrity of the curved design and durability.
  • Hard OLED: They use a rigid glass substrate. They offer the visual advantages of OLED (good colours, pure blacks) at a lower cost than Soft OLEDs or originals. However, they are more fragile and susceptible to breakage from drops. They can also be slightly thicker and, due to their rigidity, might not fit the curves of the Reno 12 Pro's chassis as perfectly or be more prone to damage from stress if the phone's design relies on the original screen's flexibility.
• INCELL: This technology integrates the touch panel and the LCD/OLED into a single layer, making them thinner than traditional TFTs. If you find an INCELL screen for an AMOLED model like the Reno 12 Pro, ensure it's an "INCELL AMOLED" to try and maintain superior image quality over LCDs. Generally, they offer a good balance between quality and price, being an intermediate option.
• TFT (LCD): These are more basic LCD screens. While they are the most economical option, the image quality (colours, contrast, viewing angles) will be noticeably inferior to your Reno 12 Pro's original AMOLED. Energy consumption might also be higher, and you could lose the in-screen fingerprint sensor functionality if it depends on OLED technology. Generally not recommended if you value the original viewing experience.

The choice between these qualities often comes down to a balance between budget and performance expectations. If the Reno 12 Pro is your primary tool and you value its magnificent screen, investing in an Original or a high-quality Soft OLED is usually worthwhile.

Comparison of Screen Types for Oppo Reno 12 Pro

When looking for your replacement screen for Oppo Reno 12 Pro at iLevante.com, pay close attention to the product description. Ensure it's specific to model CPH2629. Check if the spare part includes the frame, necessary adhesives, or if you need to transfer components like the earpiece speaker. And, of course, all our spare parts come with a warranty!

A quick tip for replacement: Before starting any repair, especially the screen, make sure to disconnect the battery. Always use the correct tools and, if it's your first time, look for a visual guide (there are many online). Test the new screen by temporarily connecting it before sealing the phone completely.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro Battery (BLPA57): Symptoms of Failure and How to Replace It 🔋

The battery is the energetic heart of your Oppo Reno 12 Pro. Over time, with daily use and charging cycles, all lithium-ion batteries, like the one in your mobile, begin to degrade. It's a natural process, but don't worry! Changing the Oppo Reno 12 Pro battery is one of the most common and effective repairs to rejuvenate your device and restore its original autonomy.

The specific battery for the Oppo Reno 12 Pro is model BLPA57. This powerful Li-Ion Polymer battery has a typical capacity of 5000mAh (4880mAh rated) and an approximate voltage of 3.91V. Furthermore, it's designed to support 80W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging, as well as other protocols like VOOC 3.0 and PD2.0, allowing you to recharge it in a flash.

Signs of a Faulty Battery: Listen to Your Mobile!

Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro will give you clear signals when its battery is asking for a change. Pay attention to these symptoms:

• Reduced Lifespan: The most obvious symptom. If you used to get through the day without issues and now you have to charge it mid-afternoon, it's time to think about a replacement.
• Sudden Shutdowns: The mobile turns off abruptly, especially when the battery percentage still seems sufficient (e.g., at 20%, 30%, or even higher).
• Unstable Battery Percentage: You see sharp jumps in the battery indicator (it goes from 40% to 10% in minutes) or it gets "stuck" at a percentage for a long time and then suddenly drops.
• Slow or Laggy Mobile: A very degraded battery may not be able to supply the necessary power for the processor and other components to perform at full capacity. This can cause the phone to feel slow, apps to take a long time to open, or even the camera to operate with lag. Many users think their phone has become obsolete when, in reality, a new battery could restore much of its agility.
• Excessive Overheating: It's normal for the mobile to get a bit warm when charging or using demanding apps, but if you notice excessive and constant heat, the battery could be the culprit.
• Swollen Battery: EXTREME CAUTION! If you notice that the back cover of your Oppo Reno 12 Pro is bulging or the screen is lifting at the edges, it's very likely the battery is swollen. This is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. Disconnect the mobile, do not attempt to charge it under any circumstances, and proceed to replace the battery as soon as possible. A swollen battery can be dangerous.
• Doesn't Charge or Charges Very Slowly: Although this problem can also be due to a faulty charging connector, a damaged cable, or an unsuitable charger, a battery on its last legs can also exhibit these symptoms.

OEM Batteries without a Logo: Are They Truly Original?

When searching for a replacement BLPA57 battery for your Oppo Reno 12 Pro, you might find options labelled "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) that don't carry the Oppo logo. This can raise doubts: are they reliable? Are they original?

The short answer is that, very often, yes, they are essentially original in terms of quality and performance. OEM batteries are manufactured by the same company that produces batteries for the original brand (Oppo, in this case) or by a supplier certified by Oppo to meet its strict quality and safety standards.

So, why don't they have the logo? Sometimes, to avoid brand conflicts, due to specific distribution agreements, or simply because they are intended for spare parts sales channels, these batteries are marketed without official branding. However, internally (cells, protection circuitry, capacity) they are identical or practically identical to those installed in your mobile from the factory.

At iLevante.com, when we offer you an OEM battery for your Oppo Reno 12 Pro, we assure you that it has passed our checks and meets the quality and performance standards you expect from the original manufacturer. It's an excellent way to get the quality of an original battery, often at a more competitive price, giving your mobile the reliable power it needs.

Brief Guide to Changing Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro Battery:

Important! Working with lithium-ion batteries requires caution. If punctured, bent, or damaged, they can catch fire. If you don't feel comfortable performing this procedure, it's best to seek professional technical service.

1. Preparation: Discharge your Oppo Reno 12 Pro's battery to below 25% before starting. This reduces the risk in case of accidental puncture. Gather your tools: opening kit, suitable screwdrivers, suction cup, plastic prying tools, and, if possible, an anti-static wrist strap.
2. Opening the Phone: The Oppo Reno 12 Pro generally opens from the back cover. You'll need to apply moderate heat (with a heat gun on a low setting or a hairdryer) to the edges to soften the adhesive. Then, use a suction cup and plastic prying tools to carefully separate the cover from the frame.
3. Disconnection: Once the cover is open, locate the battery connector on the motherboard. It's usually covered by a small protective metal plate that you'll need to remove (by taking out its screws). Using a plastic tool (spudger), carefully disconnect the battery's flex cable. Never use metal tools to disconnect the battery.
4. Removing the Old Battery: The BLPA57 battery will likely be glued to the chassis with adhesive strips. Some may have pull-tabs. If not, you might need to carefully apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol around the edges to soften the adhesive and then gently pry with a plastic card or a wide, flat spudger. Avoid bending or puncturing the battery at all costs.
5. Installing the New Battery: Place the new BLPA57 battery in its spot. If the new battery doesn't come with adhesive, apply new battery-specific adhesive strips. Connect the new battery's flex cable to the motherboard. Replace the protective plate and its screws.
6. Testing and Closing: Before completely sealing the phone, turn it on to ensure the new battery works and charges correctly. If all is well, clean any old adhesive residue from the frame and back cover, apply new adhesive (if necessary), and close the phone, applying even pressure for a while to ensure an effective seal.

Remember that good battery maintenance, such as avoiding extreme temperatures and not letting it fully discharge regularly, can help extend its lifespan.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro Back Covers: Renewed Style and Protection 🎨

The back cover of your Oppo Reno 12 Pro is much more than just an aesthetic element. Yes, it largely defines your mobile's look with its elegant finishes, but it also serves a crucial function: protecting the delicate internal components from knocks, dust, and moisture. If yours is broken, significantly scratched, or you simply fancy giving your device a new look, changing the Oppo Reno 12 Pro back cover is a fantastic and accessible option!

As we've mentioned, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro features a sophisticated glass back, a material that lends it a premium look and feel. This model comes in several original colours like Space Brown, Sunset Gold, and Nebula Silver. Some versions even feature an attractive dual-tone design, with a matte-finish upper part (which helps to hide fingerprints) and a glossier lower part. All this is complemented by a plastic frame.

The combination of a glass cover with a plastic frame has its pros and cons. Glass is undoubtedly elegant, but it's also more susceptible to breaking or cracking from a drop compared to plastic or metal. If this happens, it not only affects the appearance of your Reno 12 Pro but can also compromise its structural integrity and its IP65 dust and water resistance. A crack is an entry point for unwanted elements.

Why Replace the Back Cover?

• Breaks and Cracks: This is the most common reason. A broken glass cover can have sharp edges and, as mentioned, exposes internal components.
• Deep Scratches: Even if not broken, a heavily scratched cover detracts from your Oppo's premium design.
• Restoring IP65 Protection: If the original cover is damaged, the phone's seal is compromised. A new cover, correctly installed with its adhesive, helps restore this protective barrier (although it's difficult to replicate the factory seal 100% in a home repair).
• Personalisation: Perhaps you got tired of the original colour or simply want to give it a different touch. Although third-party options may vary in material (some are plastic or silicone with leather-like finishes), at iLevante.com we try to offer covers that maintain the aesthetics and quality.

General Steps for Changing the Back Cover:

Changing a glass back cover requires patience and care. Here's a general idea of the process:

1. Preparation and Heat: Turn off the phone. You'll need to apply moderate and even heat to the edges of the back cover. You can use a heat gun on a low setting or a hairdryer. This helps to soften the adhesive holding it to the phone's frame.
2. Opening Tools: Once the adhesive is softer, use a suction cup to create a small gap between the cover and the frame. Carefully insert a thin plastic pick or a thin card into this opening and slide it around the entire perimeter to cut through the adhesive. Go slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the frame or the cover itself if you're only trying to open it for another repair.
3. Beware of Flex Cables: Pay close attention here! Although the Reno 12 Pro's fingerprint sensor is in the screen, other components like the NFC antenna or side buttons might have flex cables attached to the inside of the cover or very close by. Before removing the cover completely, open it carefully like a book and check if any flex cables are connected. If so, disconnect them with a plastic tool before separating the cover.
4. Cleaning the Frame: Once the old cover is removed, it's crucial to thoroughly clean all remnants of the old adhesive from the phone's frame. A clean surface ensures good adhesion for the new cover.
5. Applying New Adhesive: The new back cover may come with pre-installed adhesive. If not, you'll need to apply a specific adhesive for mobile phone covers, either liquid (like B7000 or T7000) or pre-cut adhesive strips if available for your model. Apply the adhesive to the frame or the new cover, following the original pattern.
6. Placement and Pressure: Carefully align the new cover with the frame and press it down firmly. It's advisable to apply even pressure for some time (you can use specific clamps for mobiles, or carefully, some heavy books on a soft surface) to ensure the adhesive sets correctly and the best possible seal is maintained.

At iLevante.com, you'll find back covers for the Oppo Reno 12 Pro and the necessary adhesives. Remember, a cover in good condition is not just for aesthetics; it's an essential protective barrier for your device.

Beyond the Screen and Battery: Other Key Spare Parts for Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro 🔧

While the screen and battery are the usual suspects when a mobile starts to fail, your Oppo Reno 12 Pro is a complex ecosystem of interconnected parts, and any one of them might need attention at some point. At iLevante.com, we have an extensive catalogue to cover your needs. Here, we highlight four crucial spare parts that go beyond the most obvious ones:

1. USB-C Charging Connector / Bottom Board (Daughterboard)

• Importance: This small port is your mobile's gateway for power and the channel for data transfer with your computer. Often, the board it's housed on (known as a daughterboard or sub-board) also integrates other vital components like the main microphone or antenna connections.
• Common Symptoms of Failure:
  • Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro doesn't charge or charging is intermittent.
  • You have to wiggle or hold the cable in a specific position for it to charge.
  • The computer doesn't recognise the device when you connect it via USB.
  • You experience slow charging despite using the original SUPERVOOC™ charger and cable.
  • There's visible physical damage to the port: excessive looseness, bent or broken pins.
  • During calls, people can't hear you well or at all (if the main microphone is on this board).
• The Spare Part: Usually, it's a small printed circuit board that includes the USB-C port and sometimes other components. Replacing this board is often simpler than trying to desolder and solder a new USB-C port individually.
• Relevance: A faulty charging connector can render your phone unusable in a short time. It's one of the most frequent repairs due to wear and tear from daily connecting and disconnecting the cable.

2. Rear Camera Glass Lens

• Importance: The Oppo Reno 12 Pro boasts a powerful and versatile camera system. The small external glass covering these lenses is essential for protecting the delicate sensors from scratches, dust, fingerprints, and knocks.
• Common Symptoms of Failure:
  • Blurry photos and videos, with light flares (especially when pointing at light sources), or with a generally diminished quality.
  • Visible scratches or cracks on the lens glass.
  • The camera has trouble focusing correctly, especially if the damage is severe or dirt has got under the glass.
• The Spare Part: It's just the small protective glass. Sometimes it comes with an adhesive frame for easier installation. In many cases, this glass can be replaced without needing to disassemble the entire phone, by accessing it from the outside.
• Relevance: A damaged lens glass can completely ruin the photographic experience, one of the Reno series' star features. Fortunately, it's usually a relatively simple and inexpensive repair.

3. Earpiece Speaker and Main Speaker (Buzzer/Loudspeaker)

• Importance: They are essential for communication and multimedia enjoyment. The earpiece speaker is what you put to your ear to listen during calls. The main speaker (also called buzzer or loudspeaker) plays ringtones, notifications, music, and audio from videos or calls in hands-free mode.
• Symptoms of Earpiece Speaker Failure:
  • You hear nothing or the volume is very low during calls, even with the volume at maximum.
  • The sound is distorted, crackly, or "broken."
• Symptoms of Main Speaker (Buzzer) Failure:
  • Ringtones and notifications don't sound.
  • No sound when playing music, videos, or games.
  • The sound is very low, poor quality, distorted, or only emits strange noises.
  • (iLevante.com offers "Ear Speaker" and "Ringer" as spare parts. Speaker issues are addressed in general guides).
• The Spare Part: They are usually individual modules that connect to the motherboard, relatively easy to replace once the phone is open.
• Relevance: A failure in either of these speakers affects basic daily communication and entertainment functions.

4. Power and/or Volume Flex Cable

• Importance: The physical power and volume buttons on your Oppo Reno 12 Pro connect to the motherboard via thin flexible cables (known as "flex cables"). These cables contain the contacts that register the button press.
• Common Symptoms of Failure:
  • The power button doesn't respond or does so intermittently; you can't easily turn on, turn off, or lock the mobile.
  • The volume buttons don't increase or decrease the sound, or they do so on their own without being pressed.
  • The phone restarts randomly (this can happen if the power flex cable is damaged and intermittently short-circuiting).
  • You have difficulty taking screenshots or entering special system modes that require combinations of these buttons.
• The Spare Part: This is the specific flex cable that includes the contacts for the affected button(s). Sometimes the power flex and volume flex cables are separate parts; other times they may come together.
• Relevance: Buttons that don't work correctly can make using the phone a very frustrating experience and even prevent normal use.

Many problems that at first glance seem catastrophic, like a phone that won't turn on, are sometimes due to the failure of one of these smaller and relatively inexpensive components, such as a damaged power flex cable or a faulty charging connector, and not necessarily an irreparable motherboard failure. The good news is that most modern smartphones, including the Oppo Reno 12 Pro, have a modular design. This means that many of these components (like the charging port on a daughterboard, speakers, or button flex cables) are separate parts that can be replaced individually, making repairs much easier for the amateur enthusiast and more accessible.

Practical Guide: Common Oppo Reno 12 Pro Repairs Within Your Reach 🔩

It's time to roll up your sleeves! If you feel confident and have a bit of a knack, some repairs on your Oppo Reno 12 Pro are simpler than they seem. Here we'll give you some basic outlines for the most common interventions. Always remember that patience and having the right tools are your best allies. And don't worry, if you need a more visual guide, you can always find specific online video tutorials for the Reno 12 Pro or similar models.

Basic Tools You'll Need (Find them at iLevante.com!)

Before you start, make sure you have a good repair kit to hand. You can find many of these tools at iLevante.com:

• Precision screwdriver kit: Essential. You'll need small Phillips head (cross-head) bits and possibly Torx, depending on your Oppo's internal screws.
• Plastic opening picks and spudgers: For opening casings, separating components, and disconnecting flex cables without damaging anything.
• Suction cup: Very useful for lifting screens or back covers once the adhesive has softened.
• Anti-static tweezers: For handling small screws and delicate components.
• Anti-static wrist strap (recommended): To prevent static electricity damage to electronic components.
• Heat gun or hairdryer: To apply moderate heat and soften adhesives on screens and back covers.
• Specific adhesive: Liquid (like B7000 or T7000) or pre-cut adhesive strips to ensure a good seal when reassembling.

General Tips for Safe Disassembly and Assembly:

The key to success in a DIY repair is to work methodically and cautiously:

• THE BATTERY, ALWAYS DISCONNECTED FIRST! Before touching or disconnecting any other internal component, ensure the battery is disconnected from the motherboard. This prevents accidental short circuits that could seriously damage your mobile.
• Organisation is Key: Mobiles have many screws, often of different sizes and lengths. Use a magnetic screw mat or draw a diagram of the phone on a piece of paper and place each screw in its corresponding spot as you remove them. It will save you a lot of headaches when reassembling!
• Don't Force Parts: If a component doesn't give way easily, don't force it. Check if you've forgotten to remove a hidden screw, if there's a retaining clip, or if a flex cable is still connected. Forcing things usually ends in breakages.
• Maximum Care with Flex Cables: Those flat, thin cables connecting different parts of the phone (screen, battery, cameras, etc.) are very delicate. To disconnect them, they usually have a small ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector with a little tab you need to lift with a plastic tool. Once the tab is lifted, the cable will slide out smoothly. Never pull directly on the cable.
• Document the Process: If it's your first time repairing that model or you feel unsure, take photos as you disassemble. This will give you a clear visual reference of where each part goes and how cables connect when reassembling.

Basic Steps for Common Oppo Reno 12 Pro Repairs:

• Screen Replacement:
  1. Apply moderate heat to the edges of the screen (if it opens from the front) or the back cover (if it needs to be removed first to access screen connectors).
  2. Use the suction cup and plastic picks to carefully separate the screen from the frame.
  3. Once you have access, locate and carefully disconnect the screen's flex cable and any other associated flex cables (like the fingerprint sensor's if it were separate, although on the Reno 12 Pro it's in-screen and usually integrated into the main screen flex).
  4. Remove the damaged screen. Thoroughly clean the frame of adhesive residue.
  5. If the new screen doesn't include them, you might need to transfer small components from the old screen to the new one (like the earpiece speaker, proximity/light sensors, etc.). Do this very carefully.
  6. Temporarily connect the new screen (without gluing it) and turn on the mobile to test that it works correctly (image, touch, brightness). This step is crucial!
  7. If everything is OK, apply new adhesive (liquid or pre-cut strips) to the frame and assemble the new screen, pressing firmly but carefully.
  8. (You can consult general guides for Oppo for reference).
• Battery Replacement (Model BLPA57):
  1. Open the phone, usually by removing the back cover (see process above).
  2. Locate the battery and its connector. Disconnect it from the motherboard.
  3. Very carefully remove the old battery. It's usually stuck down with strong adhesive. Avoid puncturing or bending it. You can use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol around the edges to soften the glue and a plastic card to gently pry it up.
  4. Place the new battery in its position, secure it with new adhesive strips if necessary, and connect it.
  5. Reassemble the phone.
• Back Cover Replacement:
  1. Follow the steps for applying heat and using picks to separate the damaged cover from the frame, paying special attention to any internal flex cables.
  2. Thoroughly clean old adhesive residue from the phone's frame.
  3. If the new cover doesn't come with pre-installed adhesive, apply it (liquid or strips) to the frame or the new cover.
  4. Carefully align the new cover and press it firmly against the frame. Apply pressure (clamps or weight) for a while for the adhesive to cure properly.
• Charging Connector Replacement (Bottom Board / Daughterboard):
  1. Open the phone (usually via the back cover).
  2. Locate the bottom board or daughterboard, where the USB-C port is usually located.
  3. Carefully disconnect all flex cables connecting it to the main motherboard and other components (like the antenna coaxial cable, vibrator, etc.).
  4. Remove the screws holding this small board to the phone's chassis.
  5. Replace the faulty board with the new one.
  6. Reconnect all flex cables and screw the board back into place.
  7. Reassemble the phone and test charging and data transfer. (General reference guide).

When It's Better to Go to a Professional (No Shame in It!)

Although we encourage DIY repairs, there are times when it's wiser to leave the job in the hands of a qualified technician:

• If you don't feel confident or comfortable with the process after researching.
• If the repair is particularly complex and involves soldering (microsoldering) or diagnosing motherboard faults.
• If you've attempted the repair and the problem persists, or new problems have arisen.
• If the phone has suffered severe liquid damage.

The important thing is that your Oppo Reno 12 Pro gets working again. At iLevante.com, we provide the spare parts, and you decide the path!

Common Hardware Failures in the Oppo Reno 12 Pro: Identifying the Problem 🔍

Sometimes, your Oppo Reno 12 Pro might start behaving strangely, and it's not always easy to know exactly which component is failing. Knowing the most common symptoms associated with each type of hardware failure will help you make an initial diagnosis and get a clearer idea of the spare part you might need from iLevante.com.

• Screen Problems:
  • Touch unresponsive or responds erratically ("ghost touches"): This could be a problem with the digitiser, which is an integral part of the screen assembly. Sometimes, the cause can be as simple as dirt accumulated around the edges, or a poorly fitted or incompatible screen protector. However, if cleaning the screen and removing the protector doesn't fix the issue, a hardware fault with the screen itself is most likely.
  • Dark smudges, vertical or horizontal coloured lines, completely black screen (but the phone makes sounds or vibrates): These are clear symptoms of a damaged LCD/AMOLED panel, usually due to a knock or excessive pressure.
  • Dead or "stuck" pixels: Small dots on the screen that remain black, white, or a fixed colour.
  • Backlight bleeding at the edges (more common in LCDs, but could occur in damaged AMOLEDs): Areas where the illumination appears unevenly more intense.
• Battery Problems (Model BLPA57):
  • As detailed in its section: excessively fast draining, unexpected shutdowns with remaining charge, physical battery swelling (very dangerous), inability to fully charge or retain charge, abnormal overheating during charging or use. A mobile that becomes very slow over time can also be a symptom of an ageing battery unable to supply the necessary power.
• Charging Problems (USB-C Port):
  • The phone doesn't charge at all, charging is intermittent, you have to "wiggle" the cable to make contact, the computer doesn't recognise the device when connected via USB. It can also manifest as very slow charging despite using the original SUPERVOOC™ charger. It's essential to first rule out that the problem isn't with the cable or the charger itself by testing with different, original ones.
• Camera Problems:
  • Blurry or unsharp photos: This could be due to a dirty, scratched, or broken external glass lens. It could also be a failure of the camera module's autofocus mechanism.
  • Dark spots or dots in images: This could be dirt on the sensor (if dust has entered) or a defect in the sensor itself.
  • The camera app doesn't open, closes unexpectedly, or shows an error message: This could be a software issue (see next section), but if it persists after software solutions, it might indicate a camera module failure.
  • The LED flash doesn't work.
• Sound Problems:
  • Can't hear the other person during calls (or very low/distorted sound): Earpiece speaker failure.
  • No ringtones, notifications, music, or video audio in hands-free mode: Main speaker (buzzer) failure.
  • The other person can't hear you during calls (or hears you very faintly/with noise): Microphone failure. The Oppo Reno 12 Pro may have multiple microphones (main, noise-cancelling).
• Problems with Physical Buttons (Power, Volume):
  • The buttons are physically stuck, sunken, or don't "click".
  • The buttons don't respond when pressed, or respond intermittently. This is often due to a fault in the internal flex cable connecting the button to the motherboard.
• Connectivity Problems:
  • WiFi or Bluetooth won't turn on, disconnect constantly, or have very limited range: This could be a software problem, but also a failure of the internal antenna or the corresponding chip on the motherboard (these are more complex repairs).
  • The phone doesn't detect the SIM card or constantly loses network signal: First, check that the SIM works in another mobile and that there are no issues with your operator. If that's ruled out, it could be a problem with the SIM tray, the internal SIM reader, or, again, an antenna or board failure.
• Excessive Overheating:
  • If your Oppo Reno 12 Pro heats up abnormally and constantly, even with light use or when idle, it could indicate a more serious underlying problem, such as a faulty battery about to fail, a short circuit in a component, or a motherboard issue.

The importance of a good diagnosis: Sometimes, symptoms can be confusing or overlap. For example, a slow mobile could be due to an old battery, software problems, lack of storage, or even overheating caused by another faulty component. If you're unsure of the root cause of your Oppo Reno 12 Pro's problem, it might be helpful to seek a second opinion, consult model-specific forums, or, if the repair is beyond you, go to a technician. At iLevante.com, our goal is for you to buy the correct part to solve your problem in the most efficient way.

Is It Software or Hardware? Demystifying Faults in Your Oppo Reno 12 Pro with ColorOS 💡

Attention, mobile phone detective! Sometimes, your shiny Oppo Reno 12 Pro might start doing strange things that make you immediately think, "Something's broken!" But, hold on a moment! Before you rush to buy spare parts and dismantle your device, it's crucial to consider that the culprit might not be a physical component, but a software fault. This is especially common after an update to ColorOS, Oppo's customised Android layer.

Many users report strange behaviours that, at first glance, seem to indicate a faulty sensor, a depleted battery, or even a problem with the speakers. However, with a bit of investigation and some diagnostic steps, you could save yourself an unnecessary repair.

Common Software Problems That Look Like Hardware Failures:

• Erratic or Unresponsive Fingerprint Sensor: A classic. "Since the last ColorOS update, my in-screen fingerprint sensor has been very unreliable or doesn't recognise my finger at all." You might think the sensor is damaged, but very often it's a bug introduced in the new software version affecting its calibration or operation.
• Notifications Not Arriving, Delayed, or Magically Disappearing: "My WhatsApp messages don't come through until I open the app," "Email notifications appear and then clear themselves." These kinds of issues are rarely due to a faulty speaker (if they don't make a sound) or vibration system. It's more likely a problem with ColorOS's notification management, overly aggressive battery optimisation that "sleeps" background apps, or a conflict with an app.
• Unexpected Reboots, Freezes (Lags), or App Crashes: While a faulty battery or hardware overheating can cause reboots, these are also typical symptoms of operating system bugs, incompatibility with a recently installed app, or corrupted system files after an update.
• Abnormally Fast Battery Drain: Suddenly, your Reno 12 Pro's battery life plummets, even with light use. Before blaming the physical battery, consider that a "rogue" app consuming resources in the background, or poor system optimisation after an update, could be the real energy guzzlers.
• SD Card Problems: "My microSD card worked perfectly, and after updating, the mobile doesn't recognise it or says it's damaged." This usually points to a driver or storage management issue in the new ColorOS version, not necessarily that the SD card or card reader is physically faulty.
• Slow Camera, Glitches, or Photos Not Saving: The camera app takes ages to open, closes unexpectedly, photos come out with errors, or don't save to the gallery at all. Again, this could be a bug in ColorOS's own camera app or the firmware controlling it.
• Connectivity Issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data): Sometimes, intermittent faults in these connections are resolved by simply resetting the phone's network settings, indicating a software configuration problem rather than a fault with the antennas or chips.

Steps to Rule Out Software Problems (Technical Perspective):

Before opening the phone or buying a spare part, try these steps. You'd be surprised how often they solve the problem:

1. Restart the Mobile: The oldest advice, but often the most effective. A simple restart can fix temporary glitches and free up memory.
2. Clear the Cache and Data of the Affected App: If the problem is centred on a specific app (e.g., the camera or a messaging app), go to Settings > Apps > (Select the app) > Storage. First, try "Clear cache". If that doesn't work, you can try "Clear data" (bear in mind this will reset the app to its initial state, losing settings or logins).
3. Check for App and System Updates: Make sure both ColorOS and all your apps are updated to the latest stable version available. Sometimes, a manufacturer releases an update that fixes bugs introduced in a previous version.
4. Boot into Safe Mode: Restarting your Oppo Reno 12 Pro in Safe Mode will start it with only system apps, temporarily disabling all apps you've installed. If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, then the cause is almost certainly one of those third-party apps. You'll need to uninstall them one by one (starting with the most recent) until you find the culprit. (Search online for how to boot your specific model into Safe Mode; it usually involves pressing and holding the power button, then pressing and holding the "Power off" option on screen).
5. Optimise the System After an Update: A trick recommended in user communities: after a major ColorOS update, once the phone is 100% charged, leave it plugged into the charger for an additional 2 or 3 hours without using it. The system often performs background optimisations after updating, and this can help them complete correctly and improve performance and battery life.
6. Check Battery and Notification Settings: Dive into ColorOS settings. Ensure the system isn't excessively restricting background apps or blocking their notifications in an attempt to save battery. Look for options like "Battery optimisation" or "App startup management".
7. Reset Network Settings: If you have problems with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data, try resetting only the network settings. This won't erase your personal data, but it will delete saved Wi-Fi passwords and paired Bluetooth devices. (Usually found in Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth).
8. Last Resort (Software): Hard Reset / Factory Reset: If none of the above works, a factory reset is the most drastic software-level option. This will erase ALL your personal data from the phone (photos, contacts, messages, installed apps) and return it to its original factory state. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING! If the problem persists even AFTER a hard reset (and without restoring an app backup that might be corrupted), then it's much more likely that the fault is indeed hardware-related.

At iLevante.com, we want you to make informed decisions. Sometimes, the solution isn't a spare part, but a software tweak. Consulting Oppo community forums can also be very helpful, as other users might have experienced and solved the same software problem you're facing. If, after these steps, you confirm it's a hardware fault, we'll be here with the spare part you need!
