Hi guys!
I am normally on Xperia phones, but a mate gave me a Desire Z to try.
But there is one problem, the phone won't charge.
Can this be due to a software problem, so reinstall the stock firmware (and where can I find the right RUU), or do I have to dissambly the phone to replace the usb port?
Sorry for asking it so directly, but as I said, phone is only to try/repair...
Thanks anyway!
i bought a g2 off ebay with a faulty usb port. i the got a new usb port for around 6 dollars that i was to solder in. but before i went through all that i decided to inspect the old one. turns out there was a small piece of copper wire or something stuck in there, i took a little pick and forced it out. now everything works great! well slightly touchy when plugged in but almost perfect. i dont think the metal piece was part off the usb port but rather just a random foreign object. who knows maybe you could get lucky too! anyhow you can always flash a different rom and if your problem persists then i would go straight to a hardware problem, good luck!
Seems my USB port needs replacing, I first thought I may have had some lint or something inside there as it wouldn't charge but after checking with a flashlight one of the pins had bent completely.
The only thing I can find for the original desire is eBay ID 380759842289
Can anyone confirm if this is right, or where I could purchase one from the UK.
Are they hard to replace? Would it just be the case of removing the 2 lower t5 screws, taking the antenna out of way and then what? Are they soldered on or ribbon cable?
Cheers
I had a similar problem, my device couldn't connect via usb but it was able to charge, so my first thought was the same as yours (about the lint). I tried to clean it and I found something like a little wire which was out of its place.
I ordered a usb port (about 1.50 euros) for that model and I followed this guide on youtube to disassemble the device /watch?v=8sYB_AM_jHE
You have to dissolder the old one and then solder the new which is a little bit tricky. It Worked!
For the replacement parts you can search on ebay for htc desire g7 its the same or use google you will find a bunch of them.
Hi all,
I recently damaged the micro usb socket on my Nexus 7 2013, which stopped it from charging. After some searching I found a replacement pcb (daughterboard / lower motherboard pcb) from Asus parts. I fitted the board and the tablet will now charge. Unfortunately the touchscreen is now completely unresponsive!
At first I thought I had damaged the digitizer or ribbon cable in the disassembly process, but to check I re-fitted the damaged board. The touchscreen worked again!
So I now wonder if there is some issue with swapping boards on the Nexus 7 2013. I checked the part number etc of both boards and they are identical. So I'm confused as to why this problem has occurred.
Does anyone know about this issue and how I can resolve it please? I have been very careful in swapping out the parts and cannot see any damage to any components.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So does the screen work or not? You probably just had it temporarily not detected by the system. Had you tried holding the power button for a minute to force a reboot?? Probably would have worked.

Thanks dottat, but that does not seem to cure the problem. It's a weird one. The screen is on and displaying as usual, just no response from digitizer. Do you think it is possible that the board is simply faulty? It seems unlikely seeing as it will allow the Nexus to charge, power on etc. Asus parts have agreed to send me another in the meantime so I will report back when it arrives.
Ok so the new board arrived today, fitted it with no issues but unfortunately the problem still persists. It is strange that the touchscreen works with the original board, there must be something I'm missing!
I know this isn't a solution to the current problem, but how about a wireless charger?

I took a risk last night and removed the damaged micro sd socket from the original board and replaced it with the good one from the new board. The tablet will charge now and the touchscreen is working, although it is very unpredictable, think I may have damaged the ribbon cable terminals on the board from too much swapping over.
I really need to get the new board working so I can make sure it is just the board at fault, so I know I haven't damaged the digitizer or its ribbon cable.

There are a few revisions of that daughterboard. On the board there is a stamp that identifies any revision. If it is the original it has no revision number stamp.
It sounds now as though you have damaged something other than the board such as the flex cable as you have suggested, but the incorrect revision model was the original cause of your digitizer issue. 99%.
Thanks.
I recently replaced the LED/glass/digitizer assembly of my E980, US version phone. The wi-fi antenna on the left side of the housing came loose near the bottom. It turns out that the connector was still in place but the wire was torn loose.
I see there are two connectors: one for the antenna already with the phone and then another smaller one next to it. Is the smaller one active? I have extra antenna cables from my Galaxy S4, but I just want to make sure that before I try it, that the port is actually active and not just a female connector that is a place holder for overseas variants of the phone.
Thanks very much.
Hey guys, I’m on my second screen replacement, this time replacing the battery as well. While disassembling, one of the antenna cable connectors broke off of the main board. It is the longer of the two from the top board. I need to know what this cable is for, and if one of these other extra unused connectors on the main board can be used instead. It would be EXTREMELY nice to have a schematic/diagram. Thanks In advance.
