| Question to answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does it fail only in the car, bag, workplace or one app? | Environment and accessories can imitate internal failure. |
| Did impact, moisture, charging or an update come first? | The sequence narrows likely components and risk. |
| Which related function still works? | Comparison can isolate one path from wider damage. |
| Is continued use or data access the priority? | The best-value route depends on the intended outcome. |
