does any body know what the part on the main board is called i need to have it replaced but its on the motherboard of the phone its the part that connects the sdcard ribbon cable to the main board and it has the little whit lach gate on it to secure the pins, if any body knows pleas let me know kus the gate fell off of mine when i dropped it and i need to sodder on a whole new peice n no i dont have insurnce on the phone so sending it is is out the door..lol
i take it just taping it on wont help, never seen this for sale anywhere and soldering to these small boads is very difficult, ive had bad luck soldering @ this scale. i suggest buying a new motherboard or a broken phone with a good motherboard and swapping. unless you are a wiz at soldering and you are able to even find what you need this will be the cheapest fix

my xda 2 is pissing me off now im hardly able to charge it anymore as i have to bend the charger in the connector to get it to charge and keep it like it.
im needing just the connector from the bottom from either a xda 1 or 2 as they areboth the same by the looks of it.
either a smashed screen xda1 will do or just a xda1 or xda2 barred/knackered board will do fine aslong as the connector is great cond
anyone help me out here?
cheers

Ive got the same problem - but its still under guarantee and back at O2 for repair now - try taking yours back.
Maybe the start of a common fault?
mine was brought second hand mate no receipts or nothing dont think theyll repair it? not even got a box or cradel all i got was stylus, charger and phone itself
Gazz, it doesnt matter if you dont have a receipt, just ring this number 08081003427, they will want the imei number and will then send a packet for you to return the phone for repair.
is that all? hmmm looks like ill be ringing them on monday
btw i have imate software installed on the device and the warrenty sticker is non existant :\ as its been brocken to open the xda2 will they take it still? :?:
Hi mate,
had the same problem, mine is under warranty, but they still wanted 180+ to repair (connector and mainboard). I told them to return unrepaired. I have now got a spare battery (35 from expansys), which I charge in the cradle. I just swap batteries instead of charging, and synch using Bluetooth.
um feckers its working fine syncing but i just tried my car charger on it and that works fine?!?! :?: this is confusing lol ill just charge it up via car all the while lol
cheers for the info peeps but if anyone still has the connector/brocken pbc ill buy it from them cheers
gaz
This IS a COMMON fault.. two of my friends had this problem... me too.. i dropped my i-mate and i damaged the connector but thanks God it only got slided to the front and i could push it and get it back to its original position and it worked 100%..
but my friend couldnt make it so he sent it to Carrier Devices main centre in Dubai and they fixed it for about 35$..
it's really strange that O2 wants 180..
anyways this is a common fault and all xdaII users should watch out when the put or take their devices from the cradle..
I have a similar problem on one charger but the xda charges fine on the other charger so it could also be a problem with the plug rather then the xda socket.
just opened up my XDA 2 to have another look and one side of the connector is like bent upwards and cracked 3 legs of its solders.... i got some plyers out and tried pulling the mettal outer bit down and it ripped straight off lol, i resoldered the legs back into place all works fine except the connectors havent got nothing to clip into and its very fragile now.
also wanted is brocken IPAQ 38XX, 39XX, HP's they all have the same connectors on anyone help me out here?
i took my dads ipaq 3870 to bits and its exactly the same conector im gonna desolder the connector off a brocken ipaq if i can get hold of one then put it into my XDA 2 that will sort it good and propper
so anyone got any brocken Ipaq 38XX and up or XDA2 pbc or xda 1 pbc?
cheers
This could be your lucky day!
I have a duffed up XDA here!.
Duffed up coz I broke the screen.
The rest of it is as good as new. Cross my palm with silver and the world is your oyster.
I've run out of stupid sayings now.................but I do have an XDA for you! I bought a used replacement rather than sending it to PDAsmart.com for repair. PDAsmart want $199 plus the postage to replace the LCD. In real money thats over £130. The replacement cost £110. Maths was never my strong point, but where the heck do they get of charging that amount for and LCD?
Let me know if you want the old XDA
how much u asking for the PBC mate? is the connector undamaged?
lmk a price mate and ill see
XDA I for sale.
I've got an old XDA I that's fine but stuck in in-car mode so it keeps discharging the battery, otherwise it works perfectly fine). You can have the lot if the price is right, might as well send you all the box and everything else too if you want it.
give me an email and you can have it, [email protected].
im alrite now mate i got one from ebay
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??
Well my brother used to have this excalibur and he was pretty rough with the fone.. now the usb port is kind of loose...like if i jiggle it out around in there i can get it to connect to the pc but id rather have it be tight..is there a way i can tighten it..maybe by adding more solder to the board? im experienced in soldering
Being that I haven't looked inside the dash, I'm not sure if that would solve anything. You could always try anchoring the connector on the board using some JB Weld, or some other type of epoxy. (I had to repair a wizard at one time, but I think I used some clear electrical grade RTV, it held up for the guy a few more months until the whole unit up and died!)
Oh that sucks, i had the same problem but lucky i just returned mine and got another on with the warranty.
I have done repairs on the usb ports before, usually the solder joint is cold and is easily repaired. If you do break the port they are available, I just ordered a few- they run about $2-3
I would not recommend it to anyone that hasnt used a fine tip iron to do this type of work though. You slip up and bridge a joint and you have some major problems!
yeah i think i will be able to pull that off...im not that bad at soldering and since a new one is only 2-3 bucks its worth a try
the ones I use are DigiKey #670-1809-1-ND
so the off white tab that holds the pins in place broke off....and also some of the pins broke off. So im wondering if this is completely impossible to fix? is there anyway to rig the lcd screen to turn on still or am i screwed? btw it is the smaller flex cable version. i dont have a sprint upgrade for a good year and a half so im not trying to wait that long and my htc hero is getting quite annoying to use compared to my modded evo which was gloriously fast.
Hey did you ever get this fixed?? The same thing just happened to me...
A new digitizer for the Evo only costs $20-$30. Just buy one and replace it. Problem solved.
Hey,
It is possible to fix you just need a new lcd screen or digitizer here are some ebay links for them I am not sure what one you need..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HTC-EVO...ultDomain_0&hash=item230a0125a2#ht_2253wt_752
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Evo-4G-...ultDomain_0&hash=item519bf4265e#ht_2188wt_944
But just replace it dont try to rig it or anything it will cause more damage then good.
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks button,
Stevo
I think he means the connector on his logic board broke which is hard to repair afaik
We are legion, for we are many
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!
