5. Operating Instructions

Since this product is a replacement housing, its operation is tied to the functionality of the Nokia 130 (2017) phone itself. After successful installation, your phone should operate as normal. Refer to your original Nokia 130 (2017) user manual for specific operating instructions for the device.

• Buttons Not Responding:
  • Ensure the keypad flex cable is properly seated and connected to the mainboard.

• Screen Not Displaying/Flickering:
  • Verify that the screen's flex cable is securely connected to the mainboard.
  • Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection.
