When learning how to repair a mobile cell phone, it is important to learn how to identify parts and components on the PCB of a mobile cell phone. Identification of these parts and components is not that difficult.
The PCB of any mobile phone of any brand namely Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, China Mobile Phones etc is divided into 2 Parts namely: (1) Network Section; and (2) Power Section. When identifying parts, electronic components and ICs on the PCB of a mobile cell phone, it is important to keep these two sections in mind.

How to Identify Parts and Components on the PCB of a Mobile Cell Phone:
- Antenna Point: The point where antenna is connected is called antenna point. It is normally located at the top of the PCB of a mobile phone.
Network Section: The section below antenna point and above power section is called network section.
- Antenna Switch: It is found in the network section. It is made from metal and non-metal. It has 16 points or legs. In some mobile phones, the antenna switch is merged with PFO.

Hello I’ve had a problem with my Xperia Z3 where I get a poor LTE signal and constant loss of GPS during use of Google maps now that I got the phone apart to fix the screen will swapping out the PCB board fix this problem?
This is problem of the phone. You cannot do much. Update the Software and check.
Don’t think it’s a software issue but if any thing I could try flashing a different firmware as there is no more updates for this phone it’s a Rogers phone from the east coast and I’m a Fido customer on the west coast basically the same network so I don’t know it could be a problem in the motherboard with one of the components and yes if so there’s not really a fix
Flash the same software again.
