I was replacing my wife's LCD on her EVO and broke the LCD connector (on the motherboard). Not the ribbon (that's fine) but the connector that the ribbon goes into. Would anyone know where to find one? Or maybe a workaround for the situation? Please get me out of trouble!
Thanks

Yes, the white part and screwed up some of the prongs underneath. Any suggestions?
Thanks
one of our techs broke that one time and I had to replace the device. I was able to get it to work by taping that part with electrical tape just until the customer got their replacement but it won't last long man. I don't think it's a replaceable part though...at least I've never replaced it since we've had very few like that in our store.
OK, thanks

np, sucks that those parts are rather flimsy...
Not replaceable and a Sprint tech will (should) notice that.
Kinda screwed.

I'd suggest a hot air station would do the trick to replace it, they dont like plastic components a whole lot but you can judge the temperature when you remove it, bloody ace for removing SMD chips or IC's..
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

yea kinda figured that much thanks for the help but i still whould like to know what the part is called teres a guy selling a board on ebay for 89 bucks and claims it works but the water indcater is red on it so no fillin to buy it plus i got a gooapple for right now to play with till then
Hey everyone,
So today, I was changing the housing for my GNex and I forgot to remove the SIM card (I know, silly me.) By removeing the housing with the SIM card stuck there, I ended up severing the connectors for the volume buttons beyond repair.
The connectors are soldered to the main board, and it doesn't look very replaceable, so I'm wondering if its possible to order replacements for the broken part? And is the repair very difficult so I'm better off taking it to a repair shop?
Thanks for any information.
So I figured that the broken part is called a volume flex cable. Can't seem to find any info on installation though...

You can find the part here:
http://www.dealrepairs.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-volume-flex-cable_p2335.html
And see that it's soldered with tiny 3 points here:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1
I believe the repair is possible with a steady hand and a good solder iron.
anyone out there know a place or website where i can get a new charging port flex cable that will actually work with out problems.
my original one didnt charge right unless i bent it backwards a little
i bought 3 off ebay and had problems with each
1st one off ebay had no sound
2nd one had no service
3rd one didnt charge at all.
the original one was a REV 1.0 connector and so were the others, so if anyone knows where to get one that will work with no problems let me know
THANK YOU

Try cnn.cn but i think you will find only the whole micro usb port and not the flex cable alone
I have tried 12 replacement parts from ebay for an i717 and they ALL have no service after putting them in. but the original one that doesn't charge still gets service fine...
edit: I can recommend http://www.parts4repair.com/. Worked like a charm
did you try the following:

well a i717 component in a n7000? version mismatch no?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, the AT&T version and the International version have different radios, and the micro USB port is connected to them. They are NOT interchangeable.
i717 ≠ GT-N7000
Any tips anyone?
Hi, I just want to revive this thread rather than start a new one.
I am gonna swap my my usb charging port for a one I bought on eBay. Does anyone have any tips I should know about that you can tell me?
I'm going by this youtube video. this is all I got and of course I'm kinda scared.:crying:
Thanks. Will check back later.
Easy to do, but will cause other issues
Hi. I too have just brought a note with this problem.
The replacement is easy, remove battery cover, battery sim etc. Take out the screws, use something thin to pries the edge off. Its the lip below the screen level though. After that, 3 more screws for the bottom section, then take out the one screw in the thin motherboard piece. Slide out the old flex, slide in the new one, re assemble.
The biggest problem is that youll most likely lose 80 % of your reception from it. When the phone is open, try to see if there is any corrosion behind your USB port, if there is clean it and try it. I did that as im sending my ebay one back for a replacement, Now my old one seems to be working, but for how long, i dont know.

I bought a battery charger and extra battery. I bought the brand Hyperion but I've heard there are better brands. Anyway, I don't charge my phone any more... I just swap batteries now. One is always on the charger and one in the phone. It works fantastically and further, the phone always has a charge. When I want to swap files I remove the card and put it in the PC. Works really good.
If you are on about the daughter board I got one of Amazon for£10 took less than 10 mins to fit and have had no problems. Came In OEM packaging
Any questions feel free to PM

It's 10 black screws on the back & 5 white to take there cover of over the daughter board. No need to undo a mother board screw whats this about losing 80%signal?
That's rubbish, Sir! Mine is on5 bars H+ and has been sincei did it. As there is a new mix. Too the sound is better, IMO
Sent from BOX13.
Bought mine off ebay worked 100%, signal is still the same, nothing happens to signal. But you have to buy the whole board. Mine didnt come with a wee microphone bit so i took off my old one, stuck the sticky bit within the square part and put the rubber part in the cover and screwed it on. Everything working fine.

My usb port is busted so am replacing that board too. However, I've bought two off ebay and both have had problems. First one fixed the charging issue but didn't give me any reception (well one bar now and then) and the second gave me signal but had a busted micro usb port. EBay can be so fustrating sometimes!!

I have just fitted my 3rd replacement board and loose most of my signal after fitting it. My original board gives me full signal but intermittent charging. :crying:
Do all N7000 use the same board or does country intended for make a difference? My note is an International phone made for Hong Kong.

To be honest I still haven't got a perfect replacement yet but one that is at least functional (get werid noises during phone calls - not on my end but on whoever is calling me).
You do have to make sure you get the correct board though. If you look on the original board it should have some writing in gold near the top. Mine said Rev 1.0 so I got replacements which were rev 1.0 too. Apparently there are other revisions (although I didn't come across any others).

mine is a version 1.00 see attached my original is on the top one of the replacements below
I did my replacement yesterday.
Got the part from this seller:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190821533955?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
And then followed this link on how to do it, took me 2 attempts as the 1st time I hadn't pushed one of the ribbon cables down and had no service. After pushing it in and putting it all back together it works again

Ordered one from parts4repair, we'll see how that one works. The one I have now, works, but the signal level sucks.

Yep, worked PERFECTLY. Improved signal performance in areas where I had little to no signal.

So I've got a SM-P600 32Gb Wifi tablet, and the WIFI has stopped working on it. Already tried factory restore, etc. but nothing helps, so I'm quite sure it's a hardware issue.
I'm not finding any available motherboards or screen broken tablets of the WiFI version available on ebay to replace the board. However there are quite a few 4G model ones available for a good price. Does anyone know if the form factor of the motherboard is the same across both versions? I'm not planning to use the 4G, I just want to know if the board will fit in my tablet assuming I steal it from a smashed up one.
Thanks in advance.

I've never dissected my Note so I couldn't give you pointers. However, you are aware how risky that is.
Taking parts from the boneyard and putting them into your WiFi version won't give it 4G. The devices are fundamentally different.
I have a safer alternative. Use a USB modem in conjunction with OTG.

I'm talking about swapping the whole motherboard because the one that's in there is toast (wifi/bluetooth chip is toast). I could care less about 4G, as I made abundantly clear in my original post. I'm not worried about any "risk" factor, as the device is a brick w/o WiFi. It has no method to access the internet at all.
My question is only if the 4G motherboard will fit in the WiFi case. I'm betting it does as I see an unused connector on the board which I'm guessing connects up to either an antenna or 4G board in the other version. Worst case I can just buy one of the 4G ones with a broken screen and use my screen to replace that screen.
OK, I think I found my answer. Finally managed to find a picture of the 4G board on ebay, and it's identical layout with the exception of a little L-shaped piece that sticks out of the right side. I can see that in the housing there is a place for that little L shape to lay, and off of that I can see where the antenna wire is supposed to lay.
I'm going to buy one of these boards and go for it. Will report back when I definitely confirm it's compatible.
Check whether the display is compatible with both pcbs. This can be determined by checking spare parts ads.
Then there is the missing opening for the sim slot and probably a missing 4G antenna(which may just consist of pcb traces anyway).
OK, I confirmed that the motherboard is definitely compatible and all fits in there perfectly!
I did have to transfer over the little board where the sim card and microSD card go as there was no channel soldered on where the sim card holder belonged. Also had to use the silver rim from the 4G version one so I'd have the little sim card slot.
Other than that was pretty much just swapping the motherboard out and adding in the antenna wire/board. Now I've got a fully functional 4G version (even though I'm only going to be using WiFi).
