Hi everyone, I bought this ZenFone2 4gb 64g, recently it got soaked in my pocket due to rain and now has a few problems such as vibrating motor not working, microphone and speakers not working and screen timeout not working as well.
the problem is that due to job I relocated to Pakistan and here there is no one with replacement parts for this phone neither do they have experience of it. I have located parts on aliexpress.com but I am reluctant to open it up myself.
ASUS says Thayer its warranty was only 6 months so I am left with no options. Help me guys if you know something which can be done.
Thanks
Its easy to open. Need just the right tools. I think you may need to change docking port chip. Its about 6$ at aliexpress. Changed mine.. There are a lots of guides in web. Try one.
If you don't want to change it, just order it and go to some Asus repair center or any cellphone, smartphone repair center. And tell them you're problem firstly. Anyone with normal knowledge about a smartphone could do this.
Ofcourse if you do it yourself there can be problems, that i had : Broken antenna cable (I changed display- twice), broke the battery (i was a fool ).
Little Instruction: Take back cover off, take all the screws out, they are about 10, don't remeber really. Unplug SIM, SD flex cable, that is on the docking port chip.
Remove Antenna, very carefully. And replace it.

Hi, i bought my universal (mda pro) on allegro (e-bay like polish portal). First time when i switched it on, screen was mirrored. I serched google for any rom to replace the original(now it is some qtek). It was useless. After next few hours on google i found pictures of dissasembling universal. I had opened screen and moved cables. When i switched it on it was ok... but only for 1 day. Right now moving cables does do nothing.
Question is: is there any reg hack to put screen to original, or i have to replace that bunch of cable from mainboard to screen or mayby it it bad soldering?
If any one has experience like that, plz help.
It was nescesery do replace lcd flex cable. I bought it from ebay from hongkong for 30$(with chineese post service) it came to me within 2 days. I replaced it myself. Now it is OK. If U know how to use screwdriver, i reccomend to do it yourself.
The touch pro 2 USB socket broke... (the 11 pin one)
and it is out of warranty.
They are demanding $300 to get it fixed.
Does anyone know of some other way I can get this phone fixed at a much cheaper price?!? Please!!
How exactly did it break? Did the whole socket come unsoldered or did the little tab thing just break off? The tab broke off on my old Mogul & I just superglued it back in. VERY carefully. It worked just fine afterward, the tab is just there to support the pins.
If the whole socket broke off, all I could suggest is finding a friend who's really good at taking stuff apart & soldering. I would do it(used to do micro-soldering for Hitachi) but I live in OK.
$300.00...?!?! That's insane...when the same happened to my mda, I purchased a battery charger from cellphoneshop.net, that charged the battery without the phone...I searched their site and was unable to locate one for the tp2
I don't know how big bellevue, wa is, or if its close to a larger metropolitan area. If so, I would look on craigslist and search for "cell phone repair". I had my mda screen repaired by a company I found on there, pretty cheap....
Alright, thanks guys... but is there like a place where I can mail-it in to get the phone repaired? Craigslist isn't really helping. The phone charges, but I can't connect it to the computer via USB or use any headphones. Also, there are other MAJOR problems caused by this broken socket (it won't boot unless I have a USB adapter plugged in, and that it remains in headphones mode). The black clip came off, but it's kinda impossible to glue it back in.

it isnt here right now but try calling them and see if you can get a new port, if the port isnt soldered to the board.
Hey There,
I am attempting to try and fix my phone because it has multiple problems associated with it such as a nonfunctional power button, a faulty in-call speaker, and blind spots within the digitizer that are unresponsive.
My guess is that the prior owner dropped the phone and some damage was sustained to the flex cable/pcb which runs to all of these things causing the phone to have some broken connections here and there.
I plan to use a teardown/repair guide to use this, BUT!
Does anyone know what else might be the problem, and where can I find a replace flex cable/pcb and how much do they usually go for?
I live in Canada...
Appreciate it.
You can get them off ebay for ~50 USD. ebay item number 260744426322. It's from China and will take forever but that's about it. Sounds like a flex cable though, hopefully it doesn't need a new digitizer too.
Hi dear developers!
I got a Touch Pro 2 from a friend, it's a GSM device he bought in Germany (O2). I changed a few parts but messed the main flex cable. The part from the power button is not connected anymore, a clean cut through, no repairs possible as far i think. So i bought a new one over ebay from Hong Kong. The seller told me it's for a GSM device BUT the cables do not look the same. The production date is 2008 and the damaged one was produced 2009. I built everything together and now the big surprise:
Phone boots normally but when the Home screen appears, it is always in landscape mode. No matter if the phone is closed or the keyboard open. I can only change the screen over advanced tools, but after soft reset again only landscape mode. The buttons for calling also do not work (those two down on the screen when you want to call someone or end a call ---> no reaction).
A hard reset and new ROM (energy) didn't change anything. By the way, the keyboard only fires up after pressing a button. Before it automatically lightened up after sliding.
What the hell is wrong now, did the send me a CDMA cable? Where is the difference ? Please help me i do not want to spent another 30 bucks again for a proper flex cable.
Edit: I disassembled the phone again and took a closer look on the flex cable: the lower part (with the LCD connection etc) looks quite same except for 3 or 4 transistors and their position on the PCB. The upper part with the earpice looks way different. The positioning of the single parts is not the same. But how can that interfere ? Guess there is no problem with the mainboard or the LCD (which is brand new).

OK, i solved the problem. The guy who sold the flex cable sent me a older one as I described. This thing was fully responsible for the errors. Bought a new one and everything works fine now^^ So if you ever want to change your Flex cable take good care which one you buy (especially on ebay!)
Btw: The display and the digitizer are glued and IF you want to replace any of those two, do yourself the favor and buy the complete bundle !!! I made the mistake and tried to replace the digitizer and cracked the display. There is no way as far as I can say, that you can manage this.
Bye
Can u post the seller info? Im in the same situation w a different phone... Thanks
Some how (isn't that what they all say) got water in my GNex USB Port which caused the port to fry once charger was plugged in. Phone still fully functions as normal, just can't charge it. After pricing out a few options, I've decided to replace the part myself. Should everything go well, this should save me at least $35.
Just wondering if anyone else here as had to do this, would love to hear how it went for you. I'm currently waiting for the part to be shipped to me.
There's been quite a few people (not me so far) who've had to change their usb ports because they failed (stopped charging). There's several threads on how to do it, I've not bookmarked them but search would probably turn them up.
Should be pretty simple if the charging port is on a daughterboard and not on the main PCB. It's pretty easy to remove the lcd/digitizer + mainboard from the housing, and if it's just a daughterboard you should be able to disconnect the old part from the connector and attach the new one.
Thanks for the replies! ifixit.com actually has a detailed step by step, just wanted to see if anyone here ran into any issues while doing it or not.
Careful with the buttons

Its fairly easy to replace the USB board if done with care and proper tools. A word of advice, when you remove the back cover ( the step after removing screws) pay attention to not drop the rubber buttons..... they are hard to find once they hit the floor . Anything than that, just do it with love and you will do fine
Success! Time to put the Aria back in the closet!
I take that back, the microphone (which is part of the usb port board) on the new board does not work. Attempted to make a phone call and they could not hear me. Used a voice recording app and got nothing. Looks like I'll be getting another replacement.
I've got to hand it to Wholesale Gadget Parts, Inc out of Oklahoma. That's saying a lot coming from a Texan, we usually aren't too fond of Oklahoma. As stated the other day, the replacement board I got had a faulty microphone. Called WGP, no questions asked shipped me a new one and got it within 48 hours. My GNex is now back to fully functioning order!
