Okay yes hi, I was changing the battery of my tablet recently, and when I gently flipped up the ribbon connector tab up to remove the ribbon, the tab broke off and now I can't get it back on, and one of the little golden connector thingies seems to be gone.
I tried as hard as I could to reattach it but seeing as I have no idea how it even connects, I wasn't able to.
So what I did was I slid the ribbon in place and taped it down.
Now everything works fine, except for the home button. It's completely unresponsive.
Can anyone help me out here? Is it because the tabs missing? Is it not being held on good enough? Or could it be because of the missing gold thingy?

I previously bought a used prophet.
It was working fine when suddenly it randomly wouldn't take any touch command on the screen (when i click with stylus nothing happens)
I opened it trying to fix it, found out the flat cable between the board and the screen was previously damaged and soldered.
Now i ended up with a damaged flat cable and a damaged battery contacts part (the part that has the battery contacts on the board) which broke off.
Do you guys think I can find these parts? and is the flat cable a replaceable part or do i have to change the whole screen?
Any suggestion is most appreciated

You can get the flat cable separately (no need to change the LCD if it is still working).
The battery contact on the PCB will be a problem. How handy are you with a soldering iron?
PM me for more details.
I took apart my dash to clean the inside. My camera wasn't working well so I thought it might fix it. Didn't really fix it, the software still freezes.
Anyway, the internal backup battery cables loosened from the connector way too easily... I barely even touched the cables. Now I can't seem to connect them back. It's way too fragile. I was wondering if I can get that part anywhere? The phone won't vibrate now... And I guess if I turn it off it just won't keep the time and date.
Maybe I should just get a new dash :/
You probably took the vibrator for the backup battery The vibration motor is flat and connected via a cable + connector to the board. It is located near the keyboard connector - usually the cable is wrapped around it. The vibrator connector can be plugged back to the socket.
Ha, it was the vibrating motor itself. I thought it's some sort of an internal battery.
I figured out how to connect the wires back. I took out the little plastic connector's legs out and was able to fit in the wires and push those legs back in.
Wasn't simple cause everything is so small, but after a few minutes I got it back working. Phone vibrates again
A few month's ago I'd ordered a LCD screen replacement for my incredible, and so when I got back from work o immediately took out the LCD from the package and started taking out my old broken. For me it was my first time experience replacing an LCD phone screen, anyways back to what I was going to say was when I unplugged the connector for the screen and the motherboard itself, after attempt to plug the connectors back together; the display connector plugged in perfect while the connector for the motherboard didn't do so well. The white piece that covers the PCB Connector, it tears a little bit off and I'd tried to power on the phone, meanwhile it didn't I tried again and things got worst. So I search online for a PCB Connector and see one, so I decided to and try to rip off the PCB Connector and plan to order the PCB Connector. So the part to attempt ripping off the PCB Connector didn't go so well, and stop there before things got worst. Any suggestions how I can replace that? I can't just leave my phone in my room and have to cover in dust. I need my phone back, how can I fix these? I know this thread seems long but I tries but it details for you guys.
This person posted this about kindle fire not working
At first my Fire wouldn't charge unless it was placed in a particular way, then it stopped altogether. I pronounced it dead, and left it stowed away for a few months, but then decided to try and fix it. I think this guide may be useful for anyone who wants to fix a kindle with dead charging. Note that you may damage your kindle in the process so if you are still under warranty, use it.
1. Take off the back cover. You may need to use a guitar pick or something similar.
2. Take off the two battery leads. One has a locking mechanism which needs to be lifted before the ribbon cable can be taken out.
3. Take out all screws connected motherboard to rest of device. There are connections underneath the board so be careful when lifting it.
4. When I lifted it, I found the USB connector had broken off the entire board (if it was even attached in the first place) and this was obviously causing the problems, as the USB connector could now only connect to the motherboard if pressure was applied so that it was being held on somehow by it. To fix this, I could have tried to solder the tiny USB connections onto the board, but instead I used a different way which is working perfectly for many weeks now.
5. Get a rubber band and tie a not in it numerous times until the knot is about 3-4mm thick. Cut off remaining rubber band and superglue the knot onto the bottom side of the USB connector (the side that faces the display when assembled). Then insert the USB connector into it's little holder under the board, with the rubber band firm beneath it and replace the motherboard. Redo all the screws, reconnect any connectors you've disconnected (you may have had to disconnect some to remove/move the motherboard - always undo battery cables before you work on the innards of any device).
6. If you've done this correctly, the round rubber band knot should press the USB connector continuously on to the board. Test using your stock charger before you put it back together because the back cover is pretty hard to get off.
7. Replace the back cover and enjoy!
Notes: My rubber band knot was actually a little too large, which meant that to connect the USB plug I had to press the kindle together to insert the cable, but charging is reliable and working so far, so I'm happy about that.

And I think he's long gone it's an old post and I need help what does he mean by connect the rubber band to the usb where do you put the rubber band where do you super glue it the motherboard kindle or the usb and what does he mean by tie it how do you tie a rubber band
When the phone is open, the usb works perfectly.
After mounting the phone back in the metal backpanel, it only charges and it's not recognized by the computer.
It's not a cable/pc/drivers problem.
is there anything i have to check in the back panel? Any contacts?
Perhaps the metal back panel is causing an electrical short. I suggest you take a close look at the USB connector and the back panel to see if there are any loose wires that might be touching where they ought not to. You could try cutting out a small square of insulating tape and putting it on the back panel where it would touch the USB socket.
