hi all.
Please, don't shout me! I would like as much help as possible for my damage :crying:. I am concerned, i don't know what else I can do!
Unfortunately, while I mounted the new digitizer to my defy I mistakenly blew up a piece of the motherboard. the piece in question is the power/lock button.
here's how the power and volume buttons are normally presented and my power button is presented on the motherboard.
I looked all over the web for repairing this damage or to buy directly a new motherboard. the problem is that on the web are not for sell replacement parts like this
I also suggested to bring it to assistance putting all the small pieces of broken button inside the phone to make it look like a fault, but it's clearly visible that the phone is half worn considering the new digitizer and the screws are stripped so you can see clearly that was disassembled and tampered...can anybody help me?

It's broken so needs replacement with a new 'tact' switch by soldering a replacement in it's place. I repair similar equipment and know it's possible to do although not a home diy repair unless you're skillful with a soldering iron and can buy the replacement part. I would hope a phone repair workshop could help with this.
Tact switches come in all shapes and sizes so you need to find a suitable one.
Sorry it's not much help.

I never thought of being able to fix something like that The important thing is that one can fix this damage and that's really enough now there's nothing left for me to order those buttons and to solder it on the mobo. I have found those momentary tact buttons that you linked from ebay on amazon.com so I can ship it in my country I have the uncle of my friend who has a soldier station that can do the job thank you so much for the answer, you've given back my hope :victory:
and sorry for my bad english!

When soldering the new part be very careful! - do not heat the pins of the tact switch for too long or you'll possibly damage the new tact switch. These items are very small and the heat from the soldering iron can damage if you keep soldering the metal legs too long. Good luck!

most likely you have also damaged other parts of the board. replacing the power button may or may not fix it.
consider ordering a new/used board from china websites.

The best price I've seen for the touchscreen is on ebay. But, there are a few catches...
First issue: There are two different LCD/touchscreen assemblies that were used on the angel. One is made by Sony, the other by Toppoly. The touchscreen or LCD from one can not be used on the other due to programming and physical layout.
Second issue (and this is probably the biggest): The way they touch screen and the LCD are connected is a major pain in the arse to fix. It's a plastic ribbon cable that has been soldered to a point on another ribbon cable. Unless you are very good at soldering, it's not something I'd attempt due to the largish chance of melting the cables and making things worse, not to mention the potential to hurt the LCD itself.
If you look in the wiki under the hacks and tweaks, the Technical Stuff (including disassembly) link has two pages to look at:
Blue Angel/PPC6600 Disassembling Procedure with Pictures
Blue Angel Spare Screen
While they are not the best pictures, the last image under the disassembling section shows the ribbon cables I'm referring to, and the touchscreen assembly picture for the spare screen page shows a sony touchscreen ribbon cable detached from the LCD cable, which will show the connection points I'm referring to.
I've got this exact issue as well on my O2 branded angel. Due to the cost of a new LCD/touchscreen assembly (almost the cost of a working angel), I'm considering trying to solder a new touchscreen. If I ruin it, well, I've got parts for the next one I get.
I replaced a touch sreen today, its not that bad if you have soldered before. Unfortunatly the screen i got of ebay is not perfect and will need replacing. I have contacted the seller to see if he will send me another one.
Its worth doing!

I've soldered plenty of times (a bit out of practice tho), but never something like that.
Any tips and suggestions? My main worry is melting the ribbon cables.
Well, no real tips, just take you time and don't rush it. The plastic can stand quite a bit of heat, i never managed to melt it, The job looks harder that it realy is. you will need a steady hand! Also , taping the connector down before you solder helps.

Ok, that's good to know. The plastic didn't look all that durable, but if it's stouter than it looks, I may check with the house controller (aka CFO aka my wife ) and see if we can spare the dosh to pick one up.
I have to be careful as she wants it once it's fixed!

There is a disassembly guide in the wiki.
What kind of screwdrivers are needed to remove those tiny screws on the LCD/ digitizer casing. I have 2 SX66's with broken LCDs and one with a broken digitizer. Time for some repairs.

Hey MATE!! damn why didnt i ask this before!!!
i have the o2 xda IIs.. same problem, display works fine.. but tapping doesnt! after it was dropped!
Now, i got a guy to get a spare MDA T-mobile (blueangel) which doesnt work, but its lcd/touchscreen works.. i connected that LCD to my O2, it didnt WORK! how can i differentiate b/w the two LCDS?
i mean, how can i know that the LCD is made by Toppoly or Sony?! that'd be a great HELP!

Cables and the wiki. The link I posted shows the difference between the two.
And yes, you will have to get the same LCD assembly/glass cover as what you have now. The two are not interchangeable.
There is a tool set you can purchase at radioshack that has the proper tip. Its a cheaply made tool but does the job. It is one of the kits with many bits. It would be the star tip. You can also order the tool online. I've taken mine apart a few times. Its sort of a pain but gets easier the more times you do it (replaced my screen three times). I have however, never been able to get the touch to work again because I can't really see how I would be able to solder such a fine ribbon. Ive had my mogul for almost a year and if my memory serves me the metallic strips are only about an 1/8th of an inch thick or less. I got lazy and put a piece of tape across the ribbon and put a small amount of glue to hold it down. Still didnt work. Didn't really expect it to either, but it was worth a shot. I turned it into insurance said I lost it and ended up with a broken 6600 and when I called to complain they sent me a mogul. So it's been awhile but I loved the phone. Hope this helps out.
dont scare the people
it can be replaced in 15 minutes with proper tools (screwdrivers)
i ve found some russian manual with pictures how to disasemble the BA (just look for it on the net) and its very easy, no need for soldering
there are 2 versions of displays, one have silver ribbon and the other have golden
when you opet your BA you ll see the display and the ribbon, also there is serial number of the display so you can check it too... all BA displays on the ebay have info about the ribbon and the serial number
I bought it for about 30$ and works perfectly, as original one...
buy digitizer and screen in one piece
you have to be total noob to have problems with changing of the display, so go for it !
If you are planning to replace the digitiser YES you do need to some fine soldering, all you need is the correct soldering iron tip for fine soldering and it is possible, done it about 4 times so far and everytime I promise myself not to brake it again but hahaha,
You can buy the LCD + digitiser together if you are unable to do soldering,
I use a razor which i took out from my shaver and thats what I use to seperate digitiser from lcd.
There are very cheap digitiser panels on EBAY, However some of these are not so good and ( digitiser is a 2 layer glass assy.) sometimes little area of this 2 layers stick together making touch screen non responsive.
Alternative is look out for spares, repairs sales if the screen is good buy it replace it, if you are a novice when it comes to these things, just take your time and dont rush it, even if it helps make little notes when you are opning the device as it ll make it easy when it comes to puting it back together.
And if you can get your hands on one keep a spare screen
Im sooo sad
I just cracked my screen I really hope I get a replacement cus I got more attached to my BA ever since I found out I could upgrade it. I thought it was not a biggie crashing it because I have dropped so many times and nothing happened but today something happened...
screen is 30$ at ebay, and no need to be sad, in few days it can be fixed
hey guys,
a few weeks ago my phone fell down, then I try to turn it back on. the device can be turned on (with htc distinctive sound), but there is no display that appears. ALL BLACK (but phone is working). there is only light at the end of the LCD screen my htc.
anyone know the cause?
IMHO, it might be a hardware issue: a unplugged/broken cable or component.
If so, I would advise you to go to a repair store.
Or in case you feel confident enough to take a look inside your phone yourself, I found this video a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zc0k994Pl4
But such an operation is at your own risk.
If somebody else could give you other things to try out before opening your phone ?
The way you describe it sounds like the digitizer is damaged and will have to be replaced. I think ebay has them for $30ish with the tools you'll need to replace it. If you're not comfortable with that type of project a cell phone store is your best bet.
edit: make sure you purchase the entire assembly (LCD & Digitizer) if you do decide to take this on because having to separate the LCD from the digitizer is a crap job which requires a heat gun and a lot of patience.

Hello all I was wondering if anyone could help me in finding some replacement parts for my oppo find 7a. So what happened was the very tip of the 3.5mm audio jack on my POS headphones stuck in my phone while the rest of it came out. No matter what I did I couldn't get it out. It prevented me from making calls or obviously using the jack for headphones.
So I took it apart. I successfully removed it but in putting it back together the little button that actuates the power switch was not in place so I couldn't control the power button. I went back in and managed to break it off. One tiny little piece of plastic and the entire phone is now useless. So I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of ordering a replacement part. I think I will have to order an entirely new little circuit board. I haven't found anything on Oppo's site, could anyone help me out?

I'd like to know this same information.
I have a bad usb/supply circuit board and i can't find any place to buy it.
Anyone who has got news on this? Myself, I am looking for a new cover for the camera (as in, the glass that is right above the lense sitting inside the back cover).
I found some parts on Ali Express (look for Original LCD Display +Digitizer touch Screen+frame by GD Technology Co., Ltd; the board's software unfortunately does not allow me to post full URLs yet).
In my case, I am not sure if the “frame” advertised above actually includes that little glass cover, or if there is an additional part I am looking for.
I have Galaxy SM-P600 (2014 edition) which was the victim of poor repair at local shop... Now back has popped off and since the tech(???) did not glue down screen and it slipped and locking bar on mother board connector for LDC connector was damaged and popped out of "connector" and lost....
My question is where can I get replacement "lock bar" ... Rest of table is fine, just no screen becasue of no clamp bar on LCD connector...
Or is there a repair that may be not official but workable?
Dale M.
Hello Dale,
What you want is LCD´s FPC conector lock, and that´s hard to find.. Made a quick search on aliexpress, but couldn´t find it. I have bought lots of fpc connector from this seller , contact them, maybe they have what you want, but unlisted.
There´s an ugly repair you can do, but require good soldering skills: You can solder lcd flex directly to main board, not a task for begginers. I have seen some connectors like yours "fixed" with duct tape, it seems to work for a while.
Thank you for the reply... Looking closer, one pin on motherboard part of connector is damaged so I would guess its toast.... Unless I can get another motherboard, but that doesn't seem practical... The cost of this it ridiculous as it was $550 (purchase price) to begin with and I have another $235 after the first accident, now this..... Think I may just have to walk away from this...
Again thank you...
Dale
Just looking for a used or bad motherboard on ebay, then remove the connector and solder it to yours. It requires skills and equipment to this re work.
May be just look for another mainboard, depending on luck, I see someone list the used one for over $100.

usually beggining and end pins are ground, so it shouldn´t be a problem. just need a multimeter to check it out. if you spent $235, I guess you had to replace LCD. take it to the guy that made the mess, and tell him to work it out.
It is not going back to that person.... Bought a new one, I like the tab so well, and was trying to salvage this one....
Might watch for 32k machine with broken screen and maybe get something going, but for now its a basket case....
Originally I was going to do screen repair myself, now I wished I had...

Here is an used motherboard, you can replace it by yourself . I can take out the motherboard within 5 minutes as it has only 3 screws on two speakers to hold it.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...-07719A-USA-/331575405067?hash=item4d336f2a0b
Or this one, a completed tablet with flickering screen, this problem can fix easily by re solder the battery connector. You can use the motherboard and keep extra parts like LCD asssembly. An used LCD assembly can sell for $150 easily.

Thank you for that information...

My son dropped his Oneplus 3 in water, took it out immediately and dried it. Phone was working well for few hours, then it had some screen rotation issue and when he tried to reboot it, it went black. When he got home, he dried it and then put it in Rice for four days. No luck.
Now when I charge the phone, it gets warm, so power is going in but the screen is black. I tried the Volume up and power button simultaneously, but to no avail. The screen remains totally black.
Not sure if I have to take to the repair guy at the mall to replace some parts or should I trying something else before doing that.
Please advise and provide guidance.:crying:
Thanks in advance.
Ric.
Its probably dead.
I mean, you can try the Mega Unbrick Guide but thats definetly not the case we have here.
Get it repaired as fast as possible over One Plus Support.
Shouldn't have used the phone and put into rice straight away. Probably the display connector accumulated rust and maybe service centre can fix it easily, MAYBE... In most cases some part of motherboard may be shorted, which would cost a lot to fix
Don't know if I can use unbrick guide... PC doesn't recognize the device!!

Wouldn't call it a bad price.. I mean for he S7 you already pay 400 bucks because you dropped your Phone once, try to open it up and see if the contact points are messed up, JerryRigEverything has a nice video.
Thanks Puddi_Puddin..viewed the video
Thanks Puddi_Puddin,
I took a look at the taking apart video on youtube. I was able to remove the screws with the appropriate screwdriver but to remove the screen, I think I may have to buy the JerryRigEverything Metal Pry Tool from Amazon. Any other alternatives?
I assume the water damage indicator would have changed color. What should I look out with regards to contact points? Anything else that I should look out for?
Thanks for the input and appreciate it.

If i did that to my own oneplus 3, my dad won't be getting me another phone that's for sure. And he will well pissed off, 400 dollars gone down the drain. He'll probably make me pay for it and if i wanted a phone, i will have to buy myself one. In your case, maybe not get him a phone so he will appreciate it more. You might as well get a phone with water resistance. I had to wait 5 years to get my own phone. My oneplus 3 was my first ever phone and i got it last year.
Well, for the replacement he is going to pay from his summer job.

Well every thin piece of metal should do, as long as you are careful. You want to watch out for the screen tho. And switch to something like paper ASAP.
