is it a case of just joining 2 specific cables? should i bother? can it be done?
i found this diagram of a usb cable on the net but im not very good with this type of stuff.
It was just an idea anyway, thaught i'd throw it out and see what happens

Exact piece to resolder on mainboard

Hi there, before changing my lcd I looked at the mainboard and I noticed that one little resistor (or capacitor don't know the exact term) is missing. I put a green arrow in the picture to show exactly what I'm looking for.
So, before changing the entire lcd, I want to try to replace that part but I don't know the exact part to buy.

Can you please someone tell me which part do I have to buy to solder back to the mainboard?
Thanks,
BJ

Nevermind, I've changed the lcd and the problem is, hopefully, gone so even if I don't know why and when that piece felt off all the lcd functions are back to normal. Admins can lock / close this thread.
Thanks anyway,
BJ

Please help identify element

Hi.
During screen replacement I've knocked off an element off a power button flex cable.
I've tried soldering it back, but it didn't help. Can anyone identify what was that element? I want to test it, to see if I din't bake it in the process of soldering.
Element is less than 0.3mm in length, and about 0.1mm in width.

p.s. This is my own phone, and I'm not a professional engineer, but this is third screen I've broken on my phone, and instead of paying another three hundred euro for repairs, I've decided to try doing it myself. I will (most probably) ruin my phone in the process, but at least this will be fun

Position of GPS sensor?

Hi guys,
I have a Sony Z1 and love to use it for navigation @hiking. Well I decided to replace it with a Mate 9. But I need to know the GPS sensors position. On my Z1 it is on the ears side, top left. I have found a technical paper on the Sony side somewhere.
Any such knowledge for the m9?
Tia! best regards, Michael

For sure on the top half of the phone.
according to this, it's on the when looking at the front of the phone. The GPS seems to be the BCM4774 chip (see link under)

and to give you an idea, here's the phone opened (you see there the other side of the motherboard). I'd say the GPS is 2cm from the top of the phone

Faulty camera module or just a scratch?

Hi! First of all sorry for my bad english, I'll try to do my best.
I could get an U11 for quite cheap as secondhand because the back glass is broken. But I found an annoying problem at the camera. At white and very light or at black object you can see a mark on every photo. I tried to find out if it is a scratch? i might seen a really small scratch or i might just hallucinated . On an other forum one person told me it could be a camera modul problem, so at the moment I am not sure what it is. If anyone have had the same issue with this or other phone please let me know. I attach some pictures about it.

It could be dirt in the crack of the glass. It could be a faulty module. The only way to find out is replace the glass as that is cheapest.
