Hey everyone,
A While ago my usb connector snapped off (WOOHOO) not
I have taken a picture of it and am wondering if anyone thinks that a brand new connector could happily be placed in there, it was a really enjoyable phone and would hate to loose it

that looks workable. i could probably get a leg attached on the second land there and make it work. just find someone that knows surface mount soldering. the only questionable leg is the second from the right. could have been pulled up. take a better picture of that and repost if you can. even if it's gone though. there's still hope. make sure the four corners get a solid soldering. they are your primary anchors.

Ok will get the pics for you when i get back from work
cheers
i also think one of the legs may be attached to the usb connector actually i still have that, will get better pictures anyway.
Hi, the same thing happened to me tonight. :/
although I don't I would have the knowledge of getting it back on.
I just paid them
Pocket Pc Techs and I will hopefully ship my phone out later today.
Can anyone give me any feedback on this company??
I can fix that for you if you need it sorting out, it wont be the first I done and I'm sure it will not be the last. PM me if you are interested.

Anyone know where I could find a spare battery cover for my black mytouch 4g? I had my phone taken apart on my bed and when i came back my dog decided it was a nice chew toy to play with. Its completely bent to the point where i cant get it on the phone no matter what.

sometimes people sell display model fake phones on E-bay. these phones are usually the case with a fake screen plastered on the front and may be of use to you... i don't know if that will apply to this phone, but it's worth a try
This One is 20 bucks and is a non functional dummy display... It might be made of plastic, but usually in my experiences these are actual phone bodies, with fake insides (or no insides as it were...)

looking at this image it looks like the battery door on it may be able to work... no way to tell unless the seller is willing to let you know or you take the plunge and try it
one of the auctions says "can't be used for spare parts" but that could be referring to the internals. you should ask one of the sellers if the battery door is removeable and have them send you a pic of it removed if it is so you can determine if it will work.

Hello, I am facing a very frustrating evening with my beloved Epic 4G as the front half of the phone appears to not be getting power (i.e. no screen power/no LED when charging/nothing whatsoever). To top it off I have no backup, and I'm straight broke as can be. So I took the phone apart, and what happened is that the connection that goes between the back half of the phone and the front has simply snapped into two pieces. I've attached pics of what is broken and you can see my baby all disassembled as well (dang man this is not a very good situation). Bottom line is that my only option is to hopefully find this piece as the phone boots up fine, the keyboard lights up, and the phone even rings when called, etc... just no screen activity at all. I even Odin'd to stock w/o the screen working as the phone is perfectly fine except for the screen not turning on. I have confirmed in this video (Go to 4:05 mark in video to see the piece in 1 piece) that the piece I've shown as Broken is in fact supposed to be one piece, and given that everything else appears normal/functional I have no reason to believe that I have anything else wrong. Dang I love this phone and I need it to be working, so please someone tell me that they've got the hook up/connections to get this piece at a good price.

I take it you don't have sprints TEP? If you do have TEP I know some repair centers would fix it within a hour if they have the parts on hand.

i sympathize on your situation, also allow me to give you some advice, always make sure you have a soft cloth under the phone and you are not sitting on carpet. you can short out the phone. (static micro shocks)
Does anyone know of a way to get a replacement battery door for a reasonable price?
I just got this phone a little over a month ago, and already the battery door doesn't fit anymore.

It seems like it's too big for the phone. I pop in one side, and the other side pops out. It's impossible to snap all the pins in at the same time. I have no idea how it got this way.
I called samsung and the service rep told me that the battery door is the only thing that is not covered by warranty.
No offense, but it looks like you're not inserting the bottom end of the door first. That's the part sticking out in that picture. It slides in first, then snap the rest in place

I wish it was me just being stupid. I've spent a good half an hour trying to maneuver it into place. No matter what I do, I can't get all the pegs to snap into place.
I'd like to add that I called the genuine Samsung accessory department, and the ditsy girl on the phone said she has never heard of a gsm galaxy nexus, and she only had the Sprint and Verizon one in her computers. Those back covers are only $9, but unfortunately don't fit my GSM version.

Press down the 2 pegs..?

Just don't get the ones with the metallic look. They may look pretty, but they have the same fit up problem, AND also weaken the radio. I had a lot of trouble getting a GPS lock while using those, and my cellphone reception was weaker too.
you probably forced the cover on also not putting it on properly, causing the connectors to wear out.
The charge port on my phone went bad and needed to be replaced. The replacement went smoothly but now it I have no bluetooth or wifi antenna. I get maybe 1 bar indicated if I am a few feet from a wifi hub and bluetooth isn't working at all. I thought it might be something to do with the new charge board so I replaced it again with the same results. If anything it might be even worse now. Any tips on what I should be looking for that is wrong?
Sounds like you broke one thing fixing another . If it's physical damage you need to go backwards and check all your steps and see what happened.
If software issue try reflashing modem.

I found the problem and it, which is a simple one, The fix though I think is going to be difficult. A very, very small capacitor is missing from the board. I must have hit it during the charge board change. If I knew the value of the cap I could probably solder a new one on. I have no idea how to find that out though. Here is a picture of the missing part.

A lot of internet digging has turned up the spec on the missing cap-
Samsung part #2203-006665
0.0022NF,0.25PF,25V,C0G,0603, C-CER,CHIP
That particular number is out of stock everywhere but I was able to find an equivalent from DigiKey.com
Samsung #CL03C2R2BA3GNNC
Digi-Key #1276-1403-1-ND
I bought 10pcs @ 2 cents a piece.
Good luck with the soldering,
In case that doesn't work for you maybe this will work for you.

Soldered in the microscopic capacitor yesterday and phone is back to 100%!
Hello. I have an HTC One M8 motherboard with a messed up ribbon cable connector for the digitizer (motherboard side). I've attached a few pictures to better show the problem, but they are very blurry sorry about that. In short, a couple of the pins are broken off to the point where they are not making contact with the cable itself. This causes the y-axis of the right side of the digitizer to be fundamentally unusable. Not possessing any soldering skill to speak of, I have spent hours searching for someone who is capable of doing this type of work, and have yet to find anybody. Does anybody here the tools/skill to do this? Or where could I go to get this fixed? Thanks for your time!

I would guess only HTC could fix that ...and they may even pitch it in the trash, and just change motherboards
