Dear XDA's..
I just bought my nexus today and I wanted to tear it down a bit, apparently it was the biggest mistake I ever done. One metal got displaced (removed) from the motherboard (image is in attachment) .. So i thought it was the image stabilizer since its near it, but its working fine..
The problem started when I wanted to decrease the music sound, volume down is not working. I tried to flash the newest google image, but still with no luck
Your help is appreciated..

Your gonna have to resolder or attach it to the board or send it for repair. Almost guaranteed no warranty.
Flashing software items like images will not fix a hardware problem.
If you want to leave it as is there are sound volume sliders in settings or apps on the play store.
Did you ever get the issue fixed? My wife opened up here phone and now has the same problem. It looks like the same exact component that got displaced as in the picture.
Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.
Same thing just happened to me. Had to tear down to replace earpiece. Knocked off the piece. I super glued it back on. But the piece is certainly not the same condition. I kinda had to bend it back into alignment as I rocked it pretty hard when prying the inner back casing off.
Do they sell these new? What is it called? And must I solder?

Anyone that has the xda2s, are you having problems with the slide down keyboard? Mine has gradually worked loose and seems very unstable. The top part of the device rocks side to side , and sometimes gets stuck when opening and makes nasty cruching noice ---- Its starting to worry me, anyone got any good tips?
Thanks
Mike
Just send it to service, not much else to do.
Ok, since posting this i found a topic about opening the XDA2s up and fiddleing around to tighten it up. Does anyone know how easy this process is? Seems quite scary and am not sure whther i should attempt this....
It's only scary the first time. Once you're not a virgin anymore, you'll feel comfortable doing it over and over again. Just don't turn into a slut .
Some things to consider. Use the correct tools for the job. Once the screws get stripped, your SOL. Oh, don't be such in a hurry to take it apart once you get the screws out. Remember to take pics, or if you are good with memory, remember where everything was originally placed. Especially the screws. Had to slap myself a few times for not remembering the screw placement.
i just had my housing recently replaced coz i dropped and scratched it. the keyboard frame + the backside of the front face is considered under warranty. the repair center diagnosed its looseness as "faulty mechanical".
Execellent, in that case im sending mine back so they can fix it! Better than cocking things up my-self!
Hi guys,
The trackball on my Orbit has stopped recognising being rolled up, left or right, and the silver clickwheel is stiff. Is this repairable myself, or should I be looking at a new motherboard?
Cheers,
Nick
hey dontpannic, don't panic
at least not too hard.
It is possible to exchange the trackball unit. You can sell a new one on the internet (I bought one via eBay, it was in your country and very cheap) Allthough, it is kind of hard to get the old unit out of your phone. You will have to totally apart your phone, because the trackball unit is stick to the daughterboard which is behind the LCD
There are a number of guides to help you apart your phone, you can find it somewhere on this forum. Once apart, you can blow the dust out and uncover your current trackball (mine was kind of hidden ) Or you can get the whole trackball off the board and replace it.
(I should note I got my phone apart couple of times, so have some experience. It can be tricky)
ciao!
I agree with amfasis, it can be tricky but gets very easy once you've done it a couple of times and know what to expect (how much force to apply separating parts...)
Everything on the daughterboard is pretty open under the cover so I suspect something sticky got dripped in there (cola?) from the symptoms you mention.
I thought I had a problem with my daughterboard as well since I was getting random scrolling action in all applications, but it turned out I had some dirt stuck on the side of the screen giving a bad signal on the touchscreen.
I took apart my whole trackball and even took the silver cover off the silver scroll wheel toggle and took out the tiny spring... that was an adventure getting it all back together correctly after cleaning!
I chalk all of it up to an excellent learning experience and now have no fear of taking it all apart just to look at it again. You will too.
Good luck!
Thanks guys! Will give this a try and see what happens
Hi,
I've just replaced screen digitizer on my gf's Galaxy Ace II, which was run over by a car, but I have issues with it.
The problem is that the upper half of the display doesn't react to touches at all. Well, except for the very upper left corner,
so the status bar can be dragged down, although not 10 out of 10 times. The lower half of the display works without problems.
I was very careful during the replacement procedure and I alligned the digitizer's connector with the line on the motherboard.
I didn't use force at all (except for the disassembly), used no sharp tools and I didn't bend anything at all, so I believe I haven't physically
damaged the screen.
I suspect the unit I received may be faulty, although I highly doubt a cheap non-original screen sent from china could be faulty :laugh:
But before I am marked a fool for trusting eBay, is there anybody with the same issue and possible solution? Is there a possibility it just
needs recalibration, or hard reset?
Any help would be appreciated. I said to my gf I can handle that and don't want to disappoint her
Thanks in advance
Omg! How did your phone manage to run over by a car,!! Give it to Samsung! Don't try doing anything by yourself!

I couldn't find a guide myself, so I had to improvise, however I managed to do it the same way as it was described in the tutorial, except for
chipping the glass parts of the screen off. The problem is most probably in the screen digitizer. I already contacted the seller and he offered
to send me a new screen, however I can't be sure it will be working properly.
But thanks for the link, at least I can be calm that I haven't screwed anything during the process
Hi, recently loud speaker on my n7100 died, then it worked again, then it died, then it worked again, then it died again and stop working completely. So I assumed that he might lose connection and I disassembled my phone. While I was doing that, I used thin plastic card to remove the frame around the screen and somehow I managed to push the card in between digitizer and glass of the screen :good: Damage is not that big but its strange looking and Il lose some money when i will selling the phone. So my question is
Q: Is there a way to fix slightly unglued screen and how?
Please dont give me advices like buy new screen ect., I only want to now is it possible to fix this in any way, maybe heat it with dryer or something similiar...Im not in opportunity to post picture of it right now, I will do it in next few hours.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks in advance!:cyclops:
P.S. loudspeaker is working again

Remove the glass with a heat gun, clean up and put stick it back with LOCA glue. A tricky operation that may do more harm than good. There are plenty of tutorial on how to do this as is is an cheap way to fix cracked screens ( ex : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ_te_pTXJI ).
Maybe just heating it is enough, you may try it, just don't overdo it as too much heat (> 90°C) may damage your screen. An IR thermometer is recommended.
Hello everybody, I've just bought this phone yesterday and I already have a problem. I was using my phone and suddenly the back cover started making noises when pressed in the battery area and sim/sd card slot area. It's looks like the cover somehow won't attach itself completely on the left side where the microusb port is. The right side seems ok except at the bottom where it also makes that crackling sound. For now I have fixed the problem by putting paper between the cover and the phone, but that solution is not really practical because I will have to repeat the process everytime i remove the back cover.
Any ideas what could cause this?
It's just weak build quality, mine has the exact same problem.
This isn't exactly a high-end device afterall.

So no way to fix it unless to replace the cover?
I might just go buy a replacement cover, the squeaking is driving me nuts.

Putting a piece of paper inside the cover should mostly fix the problem.
