Hey all,
I was replacing a charge port in a Straight Talk S3 today and its been a pain. My hot air station just quit on me so i was cutting the port out carefully when the board slid and I took out the pads. My dilemma is that I need to either replace this board or buy the guy a new phone. Does anyone know if the Spring verison (L710) would be compatible as a replacement? I'm trying to save myself from having to go buy him a new phone if possible and I don't have the skills to replace all the pads.
Thanks in advance!

If I'm not mistaken the Straight Talk version is a GSM phone, the L 710 is a CDMA phone. You may be able to swap some of the hardware, but not the board in total.

So one of the pins on my SIM card slot broke. No i cant get any sinal anywhere no matter what. Looks like in teardown videos that the SIM slot is soldered to the motherboard.
Anybody know where I can get a replacement motherboard? I searched but couldn't find anything. Maybe Galaxy Nexus is still too new?
i don't know the answer to your question, sorry.
i have read only a very small number of reports on various forums regarding pin breakage in the SIM slot. would you mind posting a few details about how yours broke? i.e., do you frequently remove your SIM card to use it in another phone or was this a one-time event? if you are a SIM swapper, how often - daily, weekly, monthly?
thanks
You might be able to pick up a nexus with a shattered screen for 100 bucks and use it as a donor prolly best bet
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I actually took it took a repair shop. They have a chain here in Atlanta called CPR (Cell Phone Repair) They soldered me on a new connector for $40. Pretty good deal seeing as how all the galaxy nexus on eBay that were being sold for parts were going for more than that.
I did this to my Galaxy Nexus and and Galaxy Note by trying to place my microsim with an adapter into both of these phones. CPR is located around the corner from me so I guess Im taking both over there for repair.

Hi,
I'm in a predicament. Bought a faulty Captivate Glide from some unscrupulous person on the internet, and it worked for about five minutes. Now the motherboard is fried and I need to replace it. No chance with Samsung - it's not under warranty because I bought it from someone. So I need to find another Glide, perhaps one with a broken screen, that someone is willing to sell to me for cheap.
Another option is, I need to find a place where I can get a compatible motherboard for the Glide.
Anyone?
So my note 2 died a couple of weeks ago... no matter what I do I can't get any sign of life. I tried different button combinations and connecting to the charger, pc, and even switching out the battery. The only conclusion I came up with is that my motherboard is fried.
I bought my phone unlocked overseas, its an international model. I'm looking on ebay and I see a few sellers offering motherboards / logic boards for the note 2. What I don't for sure is which one is right for me since there seems to be a few different sub models, some are for at&t , sprint, etc.
How can I tell exactly which board is right for my phone?
Thanks!
PS if you think there might be another reason for my phone dying or another way to resolve this, please share!
Hi everyone! I have a quick question. In the process of trying to replace the broken screen on my S3, I ended up breaking the LCD/Digitizer -.-
I was on the hunt for a replacement i747 so I could switch out the motherboards, but on Ebay, I saw a listing of a Sprint phone that had the i747 motherboard inside of it. So my question is, could I place my motherboard inside any of the S3 variants and it will work? I know it will work with T-Mobile, but what about Sprint, Verizon, etc? Thanks :3
Nope. It won't fit.
The sprint version lacks a Sim tray so that's One incompatibility
Thanks for the answers! I'm guessing the phone I saw actually just had the Sprint LCD in the i747 housing. Or something like that. Either way, I just decided to buy another cheap i747 and switch out the boards. Thanks again
Hi All, I went about replacing the battery and USB on my sprint M8 but unfortunately broke one of the ports on the board for one of the ribbons in the process. My contract with sprint is up early April and I was gonna jump onto a GSM provider anyway... If I was to get the board out of an an at&t/t-mob variant, would it literally be as easy as plugging the board in and good to go with a GSM provider? Its currently taken apart and would be easy to just take this one last step, just wondering if anyone knows if this is a feasible idea or not.
