Hello,
My bluenagel's old broad connector cables have been broken. (at least one of they)
anyone know where could I buy?
I have been searching in ebay but I haven´t found anything
thanks a lot!
What are you looking for? Sync cables? A cradle?
None of these.
The iner cables/bus/ribbons (I don't know their correct name) that conect the screen and buttons with the "mother board"
take a loook:

thanks a lot
Ah, I see. Sorry, I suppose I can't really help you further with that. Your best bet might be to determine which cables exactly are broken and then exchange the whole defective units, i.e. button board, screen and/or digitizer.
well do u get a white screen or a glitchy lcd with garbage on it, i had the same problem...showed the phone to a relative mines getting repaired its supposedly the ribbons so m waiting till my phone comes back....if it works out for me u can let me know ill try and get hold of those cables and send em to u....the shopkeepers tell me to not spend on the cables cuz its pretty useless! they break easily again!

hi guy's, i have been up tring to change the cover on my mini and it seems i have broken the end off the ribbon cable (dam it) is there anything i can do to repair it or is a new screen needed?? if so does anyone know where to get a cheap screen???
thanks in advance
i damaged my ribbon connector that's connected to the main board (the one with the clip lock) on my mini too
It sucks hey? the clip lock's all i need thats the thing that broke, the cable seems in good shape. any ideas??
no ideas. i asked our service center here but they dont sell spare parts. they said i have to buy the whole board. Now im looking for any MINI that's not working and maybe i can get it at a bargain price.
I think i might just by an atom unless you know of any other wicked phones comming out soon??
I am looking for a working HTC universal's main board 99HAU0XX-02.

I have no idea how much a motherboard would cost - fire a price and if it makes sense for me, I'm interested as my headphone jack is gone and I can't find it on its own.
Nice little store
If you would like to replace your main board there is a store by my house that has every peice that you need to build a new one. I live in taiwan. The parts range from $1.00-10.00. So, if you are in need of a special part let me know, maybe I can help.
Hi Cobb,
That would be great - I'm really looking for a headphone jack port as mine's gone and I had to eliminate it as the Uni was under the impression I had headphones connected at all time.
If you can check the price of this out, it would be cool.
Tks.
Sure

It is around $1.00-2.00 US. Just to let you know I used the female headphone connection from my Walkman. I will try to post a complete price list for the universal.
The parts are really cheap here, but sending them is not. Does anyone have any ideas how I could send replacement parts, and keep the price reasonable.
Any part that you want to replace should be less than $5.00 with exception to the screen, and the external housing.
For those of you with a broken USB female jack. While replacing mine I noticed that USB's are pretty standard. There seems to be two common types, I used the one from a 4port usb hub. I not had any problems yet.
I hope this helps. The prices I listed are for a single piece.
I have a full unit, everything is fine except for a usb connector that is FUBAR, Looking to get rid of the entire unit so I can buy a new one, shoot me a PM if anyone would like to purchase it or are selling a working unit.

Hi Cobb, how about that price list??? Just my guess, if parts are SO cheap, no transportation can be expensive!!! LOL
Anyways, what I´m looking for, is a new MoBo, you have any prices for them???
Thanks in advance, and congrats to all knowledged and not so knowledged ppl in this forum.

Hi, I am bumping this thread as I am in need of the mainboard now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I'm searching a motherboard too, if it's 128 Mb ugraded it's better for me, or if someone has a 128 Mb uni full working or with a broken LCD... please let me know.
I've made a new thread on the marketplace section too, you can write there or send me a PM. This is the link:

Hi,
I was replacing the LCD in my Rhodium yesturday and stupidly managed to break one of the tiny LED's next to the speaker away from the
T-shaped Flex cable that connects to the keyboard, screen, main board etc.
I am having a very hard time finding the right cable as some appear to not have the small front camera socket on them.
I did put a bid in on one from hong kong on ebay that looks like it could be the one, but the seller doesn't understand what i'm going on about in regards to the front camera.
Does anyone know where i could possibly get one? Or if HTC themselves could supply it?
Thanks,
Karl
Anyone have an idea?
flex cable
you can try on EBAY online shopping, u will get there
Hey Boys n Girls!
I made a mistake and bought off eBay a phone with a "not working LCD":
" This is a used HTC Desire Z smartphone. The item was dropped on water and immediately pulled out. The LCD screen doesn't work anymore as some cable inside is cracked. Everything works fine, touchscreen, menu and the device boots fine, you can hear the sound etc but no image. Anyone can fix this if you have an LCD spare for HTC Desire Z and the phone can be used and works fine, just the LCD needs replacing. Comes with original box, manuals and battery but no charger or data cable. I want to sell this fast so Happy Bidding!"
, also ordered already from two different seller LCD replacement screens neither of them worked. Backlight works on both but nothing else. Im quite puzzled what to do next...
Anyone got any idea?
Please let me know! THanks in advance!
Sounds like some cable is not working, rather than the two screens you've purchased! There is a guide somewhere here for all of that stuff. Best of luck mate!

If you could kindly link that guide, it would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
try searching for ribbon cable. You should prob just take it to a cell phone store. Phone geeks in San Marcos did my repair for 70. I was texting gf while playing golf in pouring rain.

The flex ribbon cables are not that expensive. If you were comfortable replacing the screen, I would say you have the ability to replace the flex ribbon cable without a problem.

Im going to order it tonight and give an update as soon as I got the flex ribbon cable.... I assembled and disassembled so many times already soon will be able to do it blindfolded
Also while you have it apart clean the logic board with denatured or pure alcohol and a soft bristled brush. Let it dry completely! That way it won't corrode further from the water damage!

I will do that since it will probably take like 2 weeks to ship the flex ribbon from China Thanks Man!

No prob cheap insurance plus it could even since a current or future problem I do this work for people can you tell lol. Denatured is best otherwise I think 97 is as pure as you'll find. Most stores carry the latter.
Ps be gentle no need to go medieval on it
Replacing the Flex Ribbon Cable solved my problems.... Cheers Everyone!
... if you don't do something stupid like I did. If you pay attention, research, watch videos, etc, you won't do what I did. I found a charging port on amazon that came with the tools needed to get the job done for about $15. I opened the case and all went well up to the point that I needed to disconnect the old piece. I followed all directions up to disconnecting the wide connection. There are 2. One right next to the port and the other at the opposite end of the ribbon cable. Not paying a bit of attention to what I was doing, instead of popping up the little latch that holds the cable down, I pried up the ribbon cable. Thus breaking off the connector that is soldered to the board. Now, I have a tablet that works until the battery dies.
Moral to the story, pay attention. Replacing the port is easy. Just pay attention.
Now, does anyone know if the connector can be replaced? Can I get a new board? Or am I out $400+?!
Follow-up question. I am looking around and it looks like I can get a replacement motherboard. Before I spend the money on a new motherboard (and hopefully not break this one), how will it function? I am rooted. Will I be starting from scratch with a stock tablet? No OS at all? Just fine and still rooted?
Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution? I just did the same thing. I was trying to be careful - but that top piece just broke right off of the connector to the motherboard. Am I screwed?!

What piece broke off? You might be in luck cause i have 3 tab s's taken apart right now and can probably send you the part you need. Can you pm a picture of the part you broke? The charging port is connected to a cable and i just had it apart. What did you break on it?

Wow - that would be awesome. Truth be told, I'm doubting this is something I'll be able to do myself, but I'm about to have a dead/useless tablet, and nothing to lose. So I'm willing to try!
Thanks!
Here are the broken pieces. In case anyone is thinking about doing this - they're very fragile!
Again, not sure about my ability to take the piece off of the motherboard, and/or attach a replacement.
Anyone ever try it before? I'm hoping I wouldn't have to take the motherboard out and/or solder anything!

Unfortunately the motherboard i have is broke and it doesnt start up. I thought it was the charging port so i cant help you out. You can buy a new board for 99 dollars though or just buy a used broke one off ebay and switch the board out. It is very easy to do and there are videos on you tube. People have used ones for cheap with broke lcds or screen burn. Buy one of those and switch out the top board cause that is all you need. I have all the other parts but my main board has something wrong with it. If you do that just make sure you get the same model number cause i just bought a verizon one and the motherboard wont work with my att one. I have 2 att ones that i was able to swap out.
