Key Spare Part Types for OnePlus Tablets at iLevante.com
When your OnePlus tablet needs a repair, certain components are more prone to requiring replacement. At iLevante.com, we focus on offering you the essential spares to bring your device back to life.
Screens: Visual Quality That Makes a Difference 🖼️
The screen is, without a doubt, one of the most vital and, at the same time, most vulnerable components of a tablet. A fall, a knock, or even wear and tear can affect its operation.
Screen Technologies Explained: INCELL, TFT, IPS LCD, OLED, AMOLED Which one does your OnePlus have?
Understanding your screen's technology is crucial for making an informed decision when buying a spare. Here we explain the most common ones:
- TFT (Thin Film Transistor): This is a type of LCD screen that uses thin-film transistors to improve image quality and response time compared to older passive LCD screens. Generally, they are a more economical option.
- IPS LCD (In-Plane Switching Liquid Crystal Display): This is a very popular LCD variant, known for offering better viewing angles and more accurate and consistent colour reproduction than standard TFT panels. OnePlus tablets, including the Pad, Pad Go, Pad 2, and Pad Pro models, predominantly use this IPS LCD technology. Although they don't offer the deep blacks of OLEDs, high-quality IPS LCD screens can provide an excellent visual experience, with high refresh rates and good colour calibration, as seen in OnePlus devices.
- INCELL: This is a technology applied to LCD screens where the touch-sensitive layer (digitiser) is integrated directly into the LCD cell structure, rather than being a separate superimposed layer. This can result in thinner screens and, in some cases, better touch response. INCELL screens are an LCD alternative often presented as a more economical replacement option for devices that originally used OLED or even other types of LCD. However, the quality of third-party INCELL screens can vary, and some might present compromises in brightness, colour, or touch sensitivity compared to the device's original screen.
- OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode): Unlike LCDs that require a backlight, in OLED screens each pixel emits its own light. This allows for true blacks (as pixels turn off completely), extremely high contrast, very vibrant and saturated colours, and lower energy consumption when displaying dark images. They can also be thinner and more flexible.
- AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED): This is a type of OLED screen that uses an active matrix of transistors to control each pixel individually. This improves the refresh rate, energy efficiency, and overall image quality compared to passive matrix OLEDs (PMOLED).
It's important to note that, to date and according to available information, OnePlus Pad series tablets use IPS LCD technology in their screens, even in high-end models like the Pad 2 and Pad Pro. OnePlus's choice for this technology, instead of OLED, could be due to a combination of factors such as production cost for large screens, durability (OLEDs can be susceptible to "burn-in" with prolonged static images), or the ability of current LCD panels to meet their demanding requirements for high resolution and refresh rates of up to 144Hz.
Quick Guide Table of Screen Technologies for OnePlus Tablets
Screen Type | Main Advantages | Disadvantages/Considerations | Ideal For / Used in OnePlus |
---|---|---|---|
IPS LCD (Original OnePlus) | Good colour reproduction, wide viewing angles, high refresh rates (up to 144Hz in OnePlus), lower cost than OLED in large sizes. | Blacks are not as deep as OLED, lower contrast than OLED, may have "IPS glow" or light leakage in some cases. | This is the original technology in all OnePlus Pad, Pad Go, Pad 2, and Pad Pro models. Offers maximum fidelity to the manufacturer's original design. |
TFT LCD (Compatible) | More economical replacement option. | May have more limited viewing angles and lower colour/contrast quality than an original IPS LCD. | Users on a very tight budget needing a functional solution. iLevante.com strives to offer good quality TFTs if this option is available. |
INCELL LCD (Compatible) | Potentially thinner than TFTs with a separate touch layer, can be more economical than an original assembly. | Quality can vary significantly; some may have lower brightness, less accurate colours, or touch sensitivity issues compared to the original. | Economical alternative to the original LCD screen, provided a quality supplier is chosen. |
OLED/AMOLED (General Reference) | Perfect blacks, infinite contrast, vibrant colours, lower consumption on dark themes, potential to be thinner and more flexible. | More expensive, risk of "burn-in", lifespan of blue pixels sometimes shorter. | Not currently used in the OnePlus Pad series. Mentioned for education and to avoid confusion. |
Original vs. Quality Compatible Screens: Your Best Option at iLevante.com
When looking for a screen replacement for your OnePlus tablet, you'll encounter "original" and "compatible" options.
- Original Screens: These are screens that meet the exact specifications of the manufacturer, OnePlus. For OnePlus tablets, this means a high-quality IPS LCD screen with the resolution, refresh rate, and colour calibration you expect from the device as it came from the factory. They are the ideal option for restoring the original visual experience.
- Quality Compatible Screens: These are manufactured by third parties but designed to work with your tablet model. They may include technologies like TFT LCD or INCELL LCD. A good quality compatible screen can offer a more economical alternative without a drastic sacrifice in user experience. However, it's crucial to be selective, as the quality of compatible screens varies enormously on the market. Some low-cost compatibles may have lower brightness, less accurate colours, or inferior touch response.
At iLevante.com, our goal is to offer you the best possible options. When available, we provide screens that resemble the originals in quality and performance. If we offer compatible screens, we strive to select those that represent a good balance between cost and quality, being transparent about their features. Screen spares usually come as an "LCD Display Touch Screen Digitiser Assembly," meaning they include both the LCD panel and the touch sensor, facilitating repair.
Batteries: Lasting Energy for Your Day-to-Day 🔋
The battery is the energy heart of your tablet. Over time and with charge cycles, its capacity decreases, resulting in shorter autonomy and, sometimes, unstable performance.
OEM Unbranded Batteries: Guaranteed Quality for Your OnePlus
You might find batteries described as "OEM unbranded" at iLevante.com. What does this mean? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. An OEM battery is one produced by the same manufacturer (or one of its authorised suppliers) that makes the original batteries for OnePlus, following the same design, quality, and safety specifications.
The absence of the OnePlus brand logo on these OEM batteries does not imply lower quality. Often, these batteries are identical to those installed in new devices or used in official service centres, but are marketed through spare parts distribution channels without the brand marking for contractual reasons or to offer a more accessible option. At iLevante.com, when we offer an OEM unbranded battery, like the one described for the OnePlus 12R (a phone, but the principle is the same) which is "high quality" and has passed "two quality checks," you can trust that you are acquiring a reliable product that will restore the energy performance of your OnePlus tablet.
Identifying the Correct Battery for Your Model (e.g., BLT008 for Pad Go)
Using the correct battery is absolutely crucial for the safety and operation of your tablet. Each OnePlus Pad model has a battery with a specific capacity and often a specific part number.
- OnePlus Pad Go: Uses an 8000 mAh battery. Some sources identify the model number of this battery as BLT008.
- OnePlus Pad (Original), OnePlus Pad 2, and OnePlus Pad Pro: These models share a battery capacity of 9510 mAh. However, current research has not revealed specific part model numbers (of the BLPxxxx type, common in OnePlus phones) for the batteries of these particular tablets.
Capacity is an important indicator, but not the only one. Voltage, physical dimensions, and connector type must also match. The warning that the original OnePlus Pad battery is "specially encrypted for security purposes" is crucial. If this feature extends to later models, it could complicate the use of uncertified third-party batteries or require some form of post-installation programming. At iLevante.com, we strive to list batteries as accurately as possible. If you have doubts, we recommend checking the model number printed on your current battery (if you can access it safely) or consulting our support team.
Other Common Spares: USB-C Charging Ports, Cameras, Flex Cables, and Speakers
Beyond screens and batteries, other components can fail and need replacement:
- USB-C Charging Ports: Constant use can lead to wear, loose connections, or inability to charge or transfer data. At iLevante.com, you can find charging port modules for various OnePlus models.
- Camera Modules (Front and Rear): If your photos are blurry, the camera app doesn't work, or there are focus problems, a replacement camera module might be the solution.
- Flex Cables: These delicate flat cables connect various internal components (screen, buttons, logic board, etc.). They can be damaged during a repair, by an impact, or through wear, causing intermittent or total failures in the function they control.
- Speakers: If you experience distorted sound, low volume, or a complete absence of audio, speaker replacement may be necessary.
The availability of these spares in modular form often makes repairs more specific and cost-effective, avoiding the replacement of major components like the entire logic board.
Diagnosing Common Problems in OnePlus Tablets (Technical Perspective for Users) 🔍
Before buying a spare, it's important to have a clear idea of what the problem is. Below, we describe some common faults and their symptoms, helping you distinguish between hardware and software problems.
Frequent Hardware Faults and Their Specific Symptoms in OnePlus Models
Screen Problems (Dead pixels, flickering, unresponsive touch, excessive reflections, black screen, colour spots)
Screen problems are varied. You might notice dead pixels (dots that don't change colour), intermittent image flickering, or the touchscreen not responding in certain areas or 전체적으로. In the case of the OnePlus Pad Go, some users have reported an excessively reflective screen that easily picks up fingerprints and dust, which can make viewing difficult in certain conditions. A more unusual problem, but documented for the OnePlus Pad 2, is severe discolouration on the rear panel, apparently caused by the official case, although this is more of a cosmetic defect than a functional one of the screen itself. Some Pad 2 users have also criticised its IPS panel for having noticeable "IPS glow" (visible brightness at the edges with dark backgrounds) and a touchscreen that sometimes doesn't register quick swipes well. A completely black screen or abnormal display (distorted colours, lines) are also clear indicators of a hardware fault in the panel or its connections. These symptoms usually justify replacing the screen assembly.
Battery Problems (Rapid discharge, not charging, overheating, incorrect calibration, unexpected shutdown)
A faulty or degraded battery can manifest in multiple ways. Rapid discharge is one of the most common symptoms: the tablet runs out of power much faster than normal, even with little use, as reported in some OnePlus Pad 2s. Other indicators include the tablet not charging when connected, charging intermittently or excessively slowly, or overheating abnormally during charging. Sometimes, the operating system may display an incorrect battery percentage (a calibration issue) or the tablet may shut down unexpectedly even though it still shows remaining charge. It's relevant to mention that, occasionally, OxygenOS updates have been linked to increased battery consumption. The OnePlus Pad Go, for its part, has been described as having "average" battery life and charging speed, not particularly excelling in this aspect. If, after trying software solutions (see below), the problem persists, especially if there's standby drain greater than 5% per hour or failure to charge to 100%, the battery likely needs replacing.
Charging Port Faults (Loose connection, charger not detected, damaged pins, dirt/obstruction)
The USB-C charging port is a heavily used component. Problems can include the tablet not detecting the charger, the connection feeling loose or unstable, or intermittent charging. A visual inspection might reveal bent or damaged pins inside the port. A very common and often overlooked cause is the accumulation of dirt, dust, or lint inside the port, preventing a proper connection. Before assuming major damage, careful cleaning of the port (with the device turned off) can solve the problem. If cleaning doesn't help or there's obvious physical damage, replacing the charging port module is the solution.
Problems with Physical Buttons (Power, Volume) and Sensors (Gyroscope, Ambient light)
Physical power or volume buttons can stop responding, get stuck, or work erratically due to mechanical wear of the internal switch, accumulated dirt, or damage to the flex cable connecting them to the logic board. As for sensors, problems with the gyroscope or accelerometer can cause the auto-rotate screen function to malfunction, as inconsistently reported on the OnePlus Pad Go. Similarly, a faulty ambient light sensor can prevent automatic screen brightness adjustment. While some sensor issues can be software or calibration related, persistent failure might indicate a hardware defect.
Other Faults (Faulty camera, distorted speakers, intermittent Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, general overheating, problems with flex cables)
Other hardware problems can affect your OnePlus tablet:
- Camera: The camera app may not open, the camera may be unable to focus, the flash may not work, or images and videos may be of poor quality, blurry, or with artefacts. On the Pad Go, the central position of the rear camera has been criticised for being easy to obstruct with fingers.
- Speakers/Microphone: You may experience distorted sound, very low volume, crackling, or the microphone not picking up your voice or doing so with poor quality. Some Pad 2 users have noticed vibrations in the speaker grille at maximum volume, and the Pad Go's speakers have been rated as mediocre.
- Connectivity: Difficulties connecting to Wi-Fi networks, unstable or constantly dropping Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections can be a sign of a fault in the antennas or connectivity module. Some OnePlus models (like the Open phone) have had reports of persistent Wi-Fi issues linked to software or hardware.
- General Overheating: If the tablet overheats excessively during normal use (not just when charging or playing intensive games), it could indicate a thermal dissipation problem or a faulty component. Interestingly, the original OnePlus Pad was praised for not overheating much thanks to the Dimensity 9000 chip and its larger dissipation space.
- Flex Cables: These delicate internal cables are crucial. If a component works intermittently or stops working altogether, and especially if moving or lightly pressing an area of the tablet affects its operation, there might be a damaged, poorly connected, or pinched flex cable. They are particularly vulnerable during repairs if not handled with extreme care.
Software Problems That Look Like Hardware Faults (and how to distinguish them before buying spares)
Not all problems your tablet experiences are necessarily the fault of the hardware. Sometimes, the software can be the culprit, mimicking symptoms of a faulty component. An operating system (OxygenOS in this case) with bugs, poorly optimised or conflicting applications, low available storage space, or inefficient RAM management can cause general slowness, frequent crashes, unexpected restarts, or specific functions like the camera, touchscreen, or Wi-Fi connectivity to not respond correctly. For example, OxygenOS updates have reportedly negatively affected battery life on the OnePlus Pad 2, and Wi-Fi problems on other OnePlus devices have been attributed to the operating system.
Before deciding to buy a spare, it's essential to perform some basic software diagnostic steps:
- Restart the tablet: A simple restart can fix temporary faults.
- Check for updates: Ensure both the operating system and your applications are updated to the latest available version. Developers often release patches to fix known bugs.
- Free up storage space: If your tablet is almost full, its performance can be severely affected.
- Test in Safe Mode: Booting into Safe Mode loads the operating system with only essential applications. If the problem disappears in this mode, a third-party application is very likely the cause.
- Clear the cache of problematic applications: If a problem seems linked to a specific app, clearing its cache (and in some cases, its data) can help.
- Wipe the system cache partition (if applicable): This action can resolve more widespread system problems without deleting your personal data.
- Factory reset: As a last resort, if none of the above works, you can consider a factory reset. Warning! This will erase all your personal data, so make sure to back it up first.
Performing these diagnostics first can save you the expense and effort of replacing a component that actually works fine, and reinforces trust in iLevante.com as an honest advisor seeking the best solution for you.
Basic Repair Guide for Your OnePlus Tablet (DIY with Caution from iLevante.com) 🧑🔧
If you've determined your problem is hardware-related and you feel confident انجام the repair yourself, this section offers a general guide. Remember these are indicative steps; it's always advisable to look for specific tutorials for your OnePlus tablet model if available. Always proceed with caution.
Essential Tools You'll Need (and can find at iLevante.com!)
Having the right tools is fundamental for a successful repair and to avoid additional damage. Here's a list of the most common ones:
- Precision screwdriver set: Including Phillips (cross-head) and possibly Torx (star) bits depending on your tablet model.
- Plastic opening picks / Spudgers: Essential for separating casings and components without scratching or damaging plastic or metal.
- Suction cup: Useful for lifting the screen once the adhesive has softened.
- Heat gun or hairdryer: Necessary for heating and softening the adhesive holding the screen and sometimes the battery. Use with caution to avoid overheating.
- Tweezers: For handling small screws and connecting/disconnecting delicate flex cables.
- Anti-static wrist strap (ESD strap): Highly recommended to protect internal components from electrostatic discharge that could permanently damage them.
- Gloves and safety goggles: To protect your hands and eyes, especially if working with broken glass.
- Microfibre cloth: For cleaning surfaces without leaving lint.
- New adhesive strips: To reseal the screen or back cover securely after the repair.
The quality of the tools is important; low-quality ones could damage screws or the components themselves. iLevante.com can offer repair kits or individual good-quality tools for your needs.
Fundamental Safety Precautions Before Starting Any Repair ⚠️
Safety first. Before touching a single screw, consider these precautions:
- Disconnect all power sources: Ensure the tablet is completely turned off and disconnected from any charger. Ideally, the battery should be below 25% charge to minimise risks if accidentally punctured.
- Work in a suitable area: Choose a clean, well-lit, clear space on a non-conductive surface.
- Personal protection: Wear safety goggles, especially if the screen is broken, to prevent small glass splinters from flying into your eyes. Consider wearing gloves.
- Avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD): Use an anti-static wrist strap connected to an earthed point or regularly touch a large earthed metal object to discharge yourself. ESD can irreversibly damage electronic components.
- Care with Lithium batteries: This is the most critical point! NEVER puncture, excessively bend, crush, or expose a lithium polymer battery to direct heat. They are flammable and can explode if damaged. If a battery appears swollen or emits smoke, move away and seek professional help. Do not use sharp metal tools to pry batteries.
- Handling broken glass: If the screen is broken, be very careful with sharp edges. You can put adhesive tape over the broken glass to contain fragments.
- Organisation: Keep screws and small parts organised (use a magnetic tray or small containers) so you don't lose them and know where each one goes during reassembly.
- Don't force anything: If a component doesn't come out or fit easily, check if there's a forgotten screw, tab, or connected cable. Forcing things usually results in more damage.
- If possible, don't work alone: In case of an emergency, it's good to have someone nearby.
General Steps for Screen Replacement on Your OnePlus Pad
Replacing the screen is one of the most common repairs. Here's a general guide:
- Preparation: Gather your tools, the correct replacement screen for your model, back up your data (if possible), and completely turn off the tablet.
- Apply Heat: Using a heat gun at low temperature or a hairdryer, gently and evenly heat the edges of the screen. This will soften the adhesive holding it to the frame. Don't concentrate heat on one spot for too long.
- Separate the Screen: Place a suction cup near an edge and pull gently to create a small gap. Insert a thin plastic pick into this gap and carefully slide it along the edges to cut the adhesive. Go slowly and add more heat if necessary.
- Disconnect Flex Cables: Once the screen is loose, lift it very carefully. It will be connected to the logic board by one or more flex cables. Identify these cables and their connectors (they usually have small retaining clips that need to be lifted). Disconnect them with a plastic tool, never by pulling the cable directly. It's highly recommended to take photos of how they are connected before disassembling them.
- Remove Old Screen: Once disconnected, completely remove the damaged screen.
- Cleaning: Remove any old adhesive residue and glass fragments from the tablet frame to ensure a good seal with the new screen.
- Test the New Screen (Crucial Step!): Before applying new adhesive and sealing, temporarily connect the new screen to the logic board. Turn on the tablet and check that the image displays correctly, the touch works across the entire surface, and there are no defects. This step, known as "simulated testing," will save you a lot of trouble if the new screen is faulty or if something was damaged during the process.
- Install and Seal: If the test is successful, turn off the tablet and disconnect the screen. Apply the new model-specific adhesive strips to the frame or the new screen, as appropriate. Reconnect the screen carefully, ensuring the flex cables are properly seated and not pinched. Place the screen in position and press firmly but gently around all edges for the adhesive to set.
- Final Reassembly: Replace any metal shielding or screws you removed. Close the tablet.
General Steps for Battery Replacement on Your OnePlus Pad
A new battery can revitalise your tablet. Follow these general steps with extreme caution:
- Preparation: Gather tools, compatible replacement battery, back up data, and turn off the tablet. Try to have the old battery at a low charge (less than 25%).
- Open the Tablet: The process to access the battery varies. On many tablets, it involves removing the screen first (follow screen replacement steps until the inside is exposed). On others, it can be accessed by removing the back cover. Consult specific guides if possible.
- Locate and Disconnect the Battery: Once inside, locate the battery and its connector on the logic board. Using a plastic tool, carefully disconnect the battery connector.
- Remove the Old Battery: Batteries are usually stuck down with strong adhesive. This is a delicate step. You may need to apply moderate heat to the back of the tablet (if opened via the screen) or use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol around the battery edges to soften the adhesive. Pry GENTLY with a wide, flat plastic tool. NEVER use sharp metal objects to pry directly on the battery, as you could puncture it and cause a fire. If the battery is swollen, be even more careful.
- Install the New Battery: Place the new battery in the same position. If it came with adhesive strips, use them. If not, you can use thin, strong double-sided adhesive tape убийца for electronics. Connect the new battery's connector to the logic board.
- Reassemble and Test: Reassemble the tablet (screen, back cover). Turn it on and check that it charges correctly and the system recognises it. It's possible the original OnePlus Pad battery is "encrypted," which could affect the recognition of unofficial batteries or require additional steps.
General Steps for Charging Port Replacement on Your OnePlus Pad
A faulty charging port can be frustrating. The difficulty of this repair varies enormously:
- Preparation and Opening: As in previous repairs, prepare tools, back up data, and carefully open the tablet to access internal components.
- Locate the Charging Port: Identify the USB-C charging port module.
- Assess Port Type:
- On a Daughterboard (Separate Module): If the charging port is on a small separate printed circuit board (daughterboard), connected to the main logic board via a flex cable, the repair is simpler. It involves disconnecting flex cables, unscrewing the faulty daughterboard, and replacing it with the new one.
- Soldered to the Logic Board: If the USB-C port is soldered directly to the main logic board, the repair is extremely advanced and requires microsoldering skills and equipment. Not recommended for beginners, as it's very easy to irreparably damage the logic board.
- Replacement (if modular): If it's a daughterboard, proceed with the replacement.
- Reassembly and Test: Reassemble the tablet and check if it charges correctly and if data transfer works (if applicable).
If your charging port requires soldering, we strongly recommend seeking professional help.
When It's Better to Leave It to Professionals (Consult Us!)
DIY electronics can be rewarding and save money, but not all repairs are suitable for everyone. It's better to seek professional help if:
- The repair seems too complex or beyond your skills (especially if it involves microsoldering).
- You don't have the right tools or the confidence to do the job.
- There's a high risk of causing more damage to the device, especially when handling batteries or delicate components.
- You've attempted the repair and the problem persists or new problems have arisen.
- The tablet has suffered liquid damage, as this can cause hidden problems and corrosion requiring professional cleaning and diagnosis.
