Is it possible to replace faulty microphone? by buying new working one, and replacing it...
i have found microphone parts, it comes with camera button flex cable.
i'm not sure it is worth it or not to buy new one...
if i replace it it must work right?
if that really is software problem i do not think sony ever fixes it...
I just today replaced my microphone, and now everything works fine. Ordered it from Aliexpress.

is this the part you bought? front mic? i'm going to buy one... does it need soldering or something or i just place it and connect flex cables and that's it?
Yep that's the one. There's no need for soldering, you only have to connect it to motherboard.

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!
Hey guys, I'm back while I don't have my iPhone. Now I'm trying to get this damn phone to work again. R800x if you didn't remember. Now, every time I get a new digitizer, It doesn't work. I take the old one off and put the new one in, making sure all contacts in the ribbon are connected to the flex cable connecting to the logic board. Any suggestions to get this damn screen to work again?
Or if anyone has a working, but broken digitizer they replaced, I'll take it

It may be the flex cable, the little cable which connects to the digitizer is part of the flex cable i believe.

Except the front camera works (green and fuzzy with no quality what so ever, but works). That's why I don't think it's the flex.
Just replaced it with an extra laying around. Didn't fix it...

Ah sorry, I meant the front facing camera cable, the green and fuzzy with no quality seems to affirm this. Here's a picture of it from ebay - http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Play-R800-Ear-Speaker-Proximity-Sensor-Flex-Cable-Ribbon-/00/s/NzUwWDEwMDA=/$(KGrHqF,!lEE-j2UWj4YBP34C0rn4w~~60_12.GIF

Update: bought a new flex cable. Didn't fix it. Well, looks like it is the digitizer. Any other ideas?

Hi guys,
So I replaced my LCD due to a crack, and it was my first time. I also changed the housing. The Speaker works, and the volume flex cable is in.
So the volume buttons do work.
But now, The microphone isn't working. So if I call someone, or go on voice memo, it doesn't work.
I tried Stock ROM and Android Revolution, so it's not software.
----------------------------------------------
So when I search for microphone :
-ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=One+X+Microphone&_sacat=0&_from=R40[/url]
I get flex cables for the upper part,
and some like this : -ebay.com/itm/Power-On-Off-Microphone-Connector-Flex-Cable-Ribbon-for-AT-T-HTC-One-X-/370817531834?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5656727fba[/url]
Which from what I know is power flex and noise canceller.
Or : -ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Navigation-Light-Microphone-Flex-Cable-For-HTC-One-X-S720e-G23-/111019753739?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item19d94b010b[/url]
Which is flex cable, and not microphone.
--------------------------------
I already paid a whole lot for the screen and housing, and don't really have money to spare for this phone. Life goes wrong, huh?
but if it's gonna be needed, I guess I gotta do it.
--------------------------------
What should I buy, and can I make it work with no money and just using what I have by any chance?
-------------------------------
Nothing is teared, the powerflex works perfectly. I was 100 % precise in doing everything, because I know how it gets bad with cables and all.
Also, the phone is International version, and unlocked. The mic worked before LCD replacement.
Edit 1 : The Mic makes a static noise when I try it with Google Now and Voice Memo, it's all a static noise. It sometimes produces more, and sometimes less. Can it be fixed?
Thanks for reading this, or helping in advance.
Any One?
What should I buy?
Hi. Had the same issue on one One X, did you get it working?
Thanks.

hi there,
I changed the Flex Cables ( Bought one of those $30 packages on eBay ) and it worked.
Also, there's an app called SoundAbout. That fixes it without changing any flex cables as well.
Best of luck.

Thank you, I didn't fix it yet. Can you send me the link to the cables you bought? I bought one that didn't work.
... if you don't do something stupid like I did. If you pay attention, research, watch videos, etc, you won't do what I did. I found a charging port on amazon that came with the tools needed to get the job done for about $15. I opened the case and all went well up to the point that I needed to disconnect the old piece. I followed all directions up to disconnecting the wide connection. There are 2. One right next to the port and the other at the opposite end of the ribbon cable. Not paying a bit of attention to what I was doing, instead of popping up the little latch that holds the cable down, I pried up the ribbon cable. Thus breaking off the connector that is soldered to the board. Now, I have a tablet that works until the battery dies.
Moral to the story, pay attention. Replacing the port is easy. Just pay attention.
Now, does anyone know if the connector can be replaced? Can I get a new board? Or am I out $400+?!
Follow-up question. I am looking around and it looks like I can get a replacement motherboard. Before I spend the money on a new motherboard (and hopefully not break this one), how will it function? I am rooted. Will I be starting from scratch with a stock tablet? No OS at all? Just fine and still rooted?
Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution? I just did the same thing. I was trying to be careful - but that top piece just broke right off of the connector to the motherboard. Am I screwed?!

What piece broke off? You might be in luck cause i have 3 tab s's taken apart right now and can probably send you the part you need. Can you pm a picture of the part you broke? The charging port is connected to a cable and i just had it apart. What did you break on it?

Wow - that would be awesome. Truth be told, I'm doubting this is something I'll be able to do myself, but I'm about to have a dead/useless tablet, and nothing to lose. So I'm willing to try!
Thanks!
Here are the broken pieces. In case anyone is thinking about doing this - they're very fragile!
Again, not sure about my ability to take the piece off of the motherboard, and/or attach a replacement.
Anyone ever try it before? I'm hoping I wouldn't have to take the motherboard out and/or solder anything!

Unfortunately the motherboard i have is broke and it doesnt start up. I thought it was the charging port so i cant help you out. You can buy a new board for 99 dollars though or just buy a used broke one off ebay and switch the board out. It is very easy to do and there are videos on you tube. People have used ones for cheap with broke lcds or screen burn. Buy one of those and switch out the top board cause that is all you need. I have all the other parts but my main board has something wrong with it. If you do that just make sure you get the same model number cause i just bought a verizon one and the motherboard wont work with my att one. I have 2 att ones that i was able to swap out.

Yep correct, didn't notice that the ribbon cable included the mic on it, but after thinking for more 5$ he get the loud spear and the board, but i don't know what he wants exactly
Ya should work perfect. New microphone, charger port and headphone jack for about $10 bucks can't complain. ??
