In plain words

Why this guide matters

When a comma device stops booting, loses its screen or its fan dies, the fix is often a known part failure. The ophwug case book collects those fixes from Discord in one searchable page for comma two, three, 3X and four. You get a likely cause and what other owners did, so you can repair or decide to replace.

The short version

What the full guide walks you through

  1. Open the table of contents and find your device family.

  2. Read the case that matches your symptom.

  3. Try the listed fixes in order, cheapest first.

  4. Report back on GitHub or Discord if it worked.

Before you start

  • Unofficial and not endorsed by comma.
  • Some fixes open the device and void your warranty.
  • Some product links are affiliate links.

Quick answers

Questions people ask

Is this an official comma page?

No; it is written by volunteers and comma does not endorse it. It is free to read under a CC-BY licence.

Which problems does it cover?

Bad cables, blown fuses, dying screens, fans, GPS, stuck registration, flashing trouble and the comma two Wi-Fi problem, among others.

Will a fix void my warranty?

Opening the device can. If your comma four or 3X is still under warranty, use comma support first.
