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 am as well. Please post here if you have a spare available...
me too...even if the miniusb is broken.
Just thought i'd bump this up cos i'm looking for one now. As cheap as poss (free)
I got one with a broken screen only...offers?
ok, i'll let you know some time next week
I got an functionable MDA PRO,
if anybody is interested, please make an offer.

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 all,
I have a Universal on which the screen stopped working. I actually think the screen itself is fine, but that the connecting cable(s?) is damaged.
Using MyMobiler I can "see" the Universal's display on my laptop, so I know the rest of it is fine.
As a result, I'm looking for a dead Universal (with a working screen!) that's now unwanted so I can repair mine. Alternatively, if anybody can reccommend a CHEAP but GOOD repair service in the UK.
Many thanks in advance!
Hi, just PM'ed you, if you r interested
Having partially opened the thing, I can see the coaxial cable is damaged and this is the only part I need replacing.
If anybody has a totally dead Universal, even with a smashed screen I'd be very interested!
Carphone warehouse....

Why not take it to the Carphone warehouse I took mine there when the screen was damaged and it only cost me £35 to repair... Alternatively buy a new coaxial cable off ebay should be able to find loads from Hong Kong etc.
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:

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 dear developers!
I got a Touch Pro 2 from a friend, it's a GSM device he bought in Germany (O2). I changed a few parts but messed the main flex cable. The part from the power button is not connected anymore, a clean cut through, no repairs possible as far i think. So i bought a new one over ebay from Hong Kong. The seller told me it's for a GSM device BUT the cables do not look the same. The production date is 2008 and the damaged one was produced 2009. I built everything together and now the big surprise:
Phone boots normally but when the Home screen appears, it is always in landscape mode. No matter if the phone is closed or the keyboard open. I can only change the screen over advanced tools, but after soft reset again only landscape mode. The buttons for calling also do not work (those two down on the screen when you want to call someone or end a call ---> no reaction).
A hard reset and new ROM (energy) didn't change anything. By the way, the keyboard only fires up after pressing a button. Before it automatically lightened up after sliding.
What the hell is wrong now, did the send me a CDMA cable? Where is the difference ? Please help me i do not want to spent another 30 bucks again for a proper flex cable.
Edit: I disassembled the phone again and took a closer look on the flex cable: the lower part (with the LCD connection etc) looks quite same except for 3 or 4 transistors and their position on the PCB. The upper part with the earpice looks way different. The positioning of the single parts is not the same. But how can that interfere ? Guess there is no problem with the mainboard or the LCD (which is brand new).
Here are some pictures

OK, i solved the problem. The guy who sold the flex cable sent me a older one as I described. This thing was fully responsible for the errors. Bought a new one and everything works fine now^^ So if you ever want to change your Flex cable take good care which one you buy (especially on ebay!)
Btw: The display and the digitizer are glued and IF you want to replace any of those two, do yourself the favor and buy the complete bundle !!! I made the mistake and tried to replace the digitizer and cracked the display. There is no way as far as I can say, that you can manage this.
Bye
Can u post the seller info? Im in the same situation w a different phone... Thanks
