HTC Desire S
Purchased in Israel (eline)
P/N: 99HMN143-00
IMEI： 358967049XXXXXX
S/N： SH1AJTJXXXXX
I need to replace the display and I was thinking about buying this, however the site warns that there are two types of LCD flex cables - narrow and wide. Is there any way to know (without opening up the phone) whether I have the narrow or wide LCD flex cable ?
And if I do have to open the phone up, what is the minimum I need to do in order to determine the flex type (going by tutorials such as this,this or this)? Also, I don't have any reference, so even if I see the cable I'm not sure how I'll be able to tell whether it's the narrow or wide one ?
Thanks
It's never a good idea to publish imei numbers

Why exactly do you need to know this about the flex cable? I'm just curious...
Oops, sorry..

I need to buy the right display replacement according to the flex cable type. I thought that by providing the P/N, S/N and IMEI (the latter two in censored form, of course) I might provide enough information to deduce the type.

I really don't know man... if i were you, i'd go to a local service centre and ask them how to determine which type of cable my phone uses... I know taht's not very helpful but that's all i could think of right now. I'll try to get more details and get back to you if i find something useful.

The first of your tutorials, I believe at 2:30 you can see the flex connectors. So since you have to disassemble your phone anyway when the screen arrives, look at it as training
The question is - ok, you see the flex, how do you know if it's the "narrow" or the "wide" one, these aren't absolute terms. I suggest searching for some reference photos on the internet to be sure.

That's great! Since you'll have to take the phone apart to replace the digitizer anyway, i suggest you do it now, and see what cable you have... and order the appropriate one accordingly.
@t0x1n
This is really a use full information. Please let me know where from u got the narrow flex LCD+digitizer set.... i have broken mine and i need to fix it as well. looking for an early reply ...

I think this is the digitizer I bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5d3db9cd39
It didn't work and I had to buy an LCD so I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Screen-...-Desire-S-S510E-G12-Narrow-Flex-/310517355375
Neither worked for me, but it may be my fault for incorrect assembly, or the fault of the lab that tried to fix it.
So there is no way to know if for example my HTC Desire S have a Narrow or a Wide cable?
The only possible way to examine that is to tear the phone apart? ^^
Hmm, then i might need to buy this or something? :
General Cellphone Replacement Repair Open Tools ( +,-,T5,T6,Plastic Tools *2)
So there is no possible way by using the P/N or S/N to know if there is a Wide or Narrow cable?

A qualified yes to your question....
A buildup of dirt may in time cause unwanted electrical contact and possibly spurious behaviour. This would be more likely if there was carbon or metal dust present; unlikely in normal domestic usage.
If you do want to clean, then I would strongly recommend using a proper 'air-duster' aerosol for stuff like fluff or if necessary a proprietary electronic cleaning solvent (eg Electrolube, which can be obtained from Maplin or Radiospares or a similar supplier). Do not attempt to brush the circuit board or use things like cotton buds as there is a high risk of causing mechanical damage to components.
Hope that is of some help...
Best regards,
Kevin
could someone tell me what is this and what value it have.... that i have missing on pcb of mi tg01
Unfortunately, I dissasemble my TG01 2 days ago. If I dissasemble it apart soon, I would look.
Mine Too!
My TG01 has just started to do exactly the same thing
I have to wiggle the USB charger vigorously in the jack just to get it to charge, and it always drops the connection halfway through syncing when connected to the copmuter
I'm thinking about opening it up and taking a closer look at the connector, I just want my TG01 back to normal again Maybe I'll even try replacing the jack using some parts off ebay depends if the jack looks loose
I'll open it up some-point this weekend and take a look for you onell...
You marked left one but I can see missing part on the right....
the right piece is there but is not a good picture..... the left one is missing
This is Zener diode 1N4764A-TAP or similar cos E2 mean GLASS-e2
thank you very much.... i replace that zenner diode .... but usb still dont work.... i gess something else is fried uffff..... any ideas?

My suggestion: On these days, you can find a TG01 for 100€ or less googlyng a bit.
You can also ask for a TG01 with broken screen for a bargain....
And if you only want the Motherboard, you could contact with someone needing the touch screen and share it!
good luck!
Problem is there is no FUSE in the usb charging line as is in majority handsets with usb charging and usb host.
My tg01 cannot charging using wall charger.I think its burn the charger ic and smell like burning rubber before.Anyone know which one is the charger circuit ic?.Is there charging ic is the right one on upper pics???
Does anyone know where I can get the internal antenna cable for our G2x? Had the screen replaced and now I get no reception , I can only use phone through WiFi Calling now. I believe the LG part no. is EAD61725901. I can't seem to find parts anywhere on internet. Is there an aftermarket/alternative cable I can use maybe?
Your help is appreciated, thanks in advance....

Oh man... What happened when you tried to solder it. I tried that as well, but the phone still working... Just seems to be overheating, but that could be because it's searching for data maybe? I disabled mobile data, but still seems to be hot. Idling around 80-85 right now?
Just talk to stupid LG USA parts and they said they can't send me the part. I have to send in the phone for repair.... RRRrrrrrrRRRR
G2x I-PEX MHF antenna cable
Hope this helps:
The cable is micro-coax, The ends are terminated with a MHF connector, very commonly used in microelectronics. It is 75mm (7.5 cm) in length and has a fixed orientation. The following sites are suppliers that will be able to assist you in obtaining the correct cable and orientation.
search: Gradconn Corp
I would post a direct link but due to insufficient post I am unable.
WARNING
DO NOT even attempt a solder job without a stereoscopic microscope on ANY microelectronic PCB. The results are... see post #1. A solder job may work, but highly unlikely.

G2x (P999) antenna cable..
I was finally able to fix one for a customer.. while replacing the digitizer, i somehow damaged the coax cable for G2x (antenna cable).. I tried to find at so many places online and came across this post but was not able to find any one who carried the part. Then thru google i came across dealrepairs-dot-com who had the cable for Optimus 2x (p990) for very cheap.. i ordered it hoping it would be the same thing.. it arrived finally in about 18 days (China to US).. i used no tracking free shipment.. total cose $3.60... it was the wrong part. // anyways, i had a customer who had a CDMA LG Marquee thru Boost..he was sending it back to insurance after breaking the digitizer and ordering a new one. I took it from him before shipping and opened to find out that it had the same size coax cable as G2x... end of story ..
You can search for LG Marquee coax cable.. or u can search for broken CDMA LG Marquee either by sprint or boost (which is cheaper than a broken G2x)...
Digikey has a part that works
Digikey sells a part that is a 100 mm long for $2.30 that I was able to fit in place of the original 80 mm cable.
The Digikey part number is A36224-ND. You will need to split the extra length between the logic board and the antenna ends, it does fit.
Good luck

I love my Touch Pro, and as having been having it for over 4 years, I would like to continue using it in U.S as I've just moved here. That's the reason for this thread.
I've been researching for a while and understand that the Fuze has similar parts comparing to the Touch Pro (except for the screen and mainboard as it lacks front-facing camera). So I want to know, is it possible to put the antenna of the Fuze to replace into my Touch Pro.
Any one who has any experience or any idea, even knowing any person who has experience on disassemble or replacing Touch Pro parts, please help me.
Thank you.
Have you checked the wiki?
HERE is a link to the device page in the wiki. I took the liberty to link you to the location on the page that I will further link you for the service manual as I have never attempted this.
HERE is the service manual provided from the wiki. In-case you rather just check out the service manual.

thank you for such quick reply r^7z.
in fact, i do have the service manual for a while since my researches, and i've been reading it over and over. but i do not have tried to take the risk yet. as it does not says the specific part of the Fuze, just the Touch Pro parts in general. further more, i gotta know if it is possible, so i could go on ebay and purchase a broken fuze for parts, and also the tools kit. total will worth 50$ at least.
as i don't have any experience in this. i would love if someone could point the way out for me.
anyway, appreciate the help.
edit:
this is the thread i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2775270#post2775270
i am looking for a guide to disassemble the Fuze only. but i could only find guides about replacing the screen/digitizer, not a detailed disassembly.

I think, you can look at http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html
Additionally, try THIS link out. This link will take you to a translated frame-by-frame snapshot of dismantling the TouchPro/Raph. More specifically, take a look at steps #8 and #9
It looks like it can be done but be aware that if your device is still under warranty, doing this may void it.
it seems (through pictures) that the antenna is a part of the motherboard or some part of it (a big part). so if i replace it, i would have to replace to motherboard too.
also, normally if it is a individual part, there would be some replacements for it, but i am unable to find any on the web.
if it is a part of the motherboard then i'll guess this will fail. because the motherboard of the fuze and touch pro are different.
can anyone confirm this ? just tell me that's the antenna is a seperate part i'll be good on my way to do it then.
thank you.
So I decided to confirm whether the antenna was a part of the motherboard and the conclusion is no it is not. If needed (post and ask), I can provide pictures from my bricked at&t Fuze. :highfive:

yes sir, can you just point out to me which is the antenna in the fuze ? (if you can do it without disassembly, otherwise i don't want to cost you your time to take it apart)
i want to press the thank button a million times more (if of course it appears a million times)
you are officially my savoir. have been stuck with my iPhone since i set my foot here.
and one more wonderful is, the antenna of the Fuze supports 850, 900, 1900, 2100. it means that it works both here in the U.S (850 with AT&T) and back in my country (Vietnam 2100 - if i ever go back home)
thank you, thank you sir. you just made my day.

n-Joie!
isn't it just the antenna flex cable itself ? not a chip ?
i thought the antenna suppose to be a chip or something similar.
if it is a cable, how it makes the difference in frequency ?
sorry for my ignorance and please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm going by what it says from the snapshots. It could be just a cable but unless you know for a fact, we are left with only what we can verify. Sorry but that is all "I" currently have. You can try it out and see if it works or wait and see if someone else chimes in.

So, I just got off the phone with Asus. I accidentally broke the charging port in my infinity. It was charging and my son knocked it into the wall breaking the piece of plastic inside the charging port.I'll attach a picture to show the extent of the damage. They want roughly $240 to repair this. Maybe a little more or less. I obviously dont want (and really dont have) the money to fix it right now. And I feel like paying half the cost of the tablet to fix a small piece of plastic is insane.
Has anyone here ever broken their charging port and if so how did you fix it? If you have any suggestions at all id appreciate it. Im pretty good with electronics and was hoping that I may be able to fix it myself.

I had a similar issue on my tf101. smashed the center pins on the port on the tablet. bad deal. I havent done this on the tf700 but thought I would point you in the direction i took on the tf101. I found a rplacement port at asusparts. eu and ordered it. took about 6 weeks to get it. Everything on their site is very cryptic and hard to follow. I would suggest opening it up and removing the port/board to see if there is a part number on it, then search their site for that part number. plus you can visually match it up better this way.
Hope this helps. my tf101 is in great shape now, gave it to the kids
Any luck?
So i have a TF700, one of the charger port pins are bent due to a drop. It will not charge and need to replace the port. so far i have not found the part number anywere on ASUS parts website. as anyone opened a tf700 to see if there is part number and or a way to get one. Have not had the guts to open the tablet until i can replace the part. thanks
Well fixed this, opened the tf700 and bought the ribbon cable. Works great.

Where did you get the part? and were there any tricks to fixing it yourself?
I'm in the same boat. The way the port and cable are (badly) designed it looks too easy to break with just a little downward pressure. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this. I tried going through Asus ($241/non warranty repair... screw that) and local shops say they can't get the part. I have an email out to asusparts.eu to see if the fpc cable they carry is compatible and whether they can ship to CA.
There have to be more people having the same issue.
TF700 Charging Port Broken
Well , I am in the same boat.. My son tripped on the wire while charging . I am able to charge but Dock is not connecting ( When i connect the dock , nothing happens ) ... guess something is broken in the charging port.
Any pointers where can we source the port replacement ( part numbers ? ) and any instructions ?
I live in Dublin,CA are there any local repair shops i can goto (within 50 miles) ? i dont want to go to Asus ( already unlocked) and they will definitly ask for a fortune .

OK so yes I will send you a picture of what it looks like when I get off work. The nomenclature is stamped on the ribbon its-self. I bought the "correct" one from Asus and it was not at all for the 700t. I purchased another from a online seller company and it was correct. As far taking it apart not for the faint of heart, you get to test the gorilla glass out to see how strong it is. Look up ifixit, there you will find the needed teardown instruction. So far tablet is fine.

Fixed the Charging Port but ....
Thanks all for your pointers and Help .
I have ordered a new Charging Port from www.asusparts.eu and somehow gathered courage to open up and replace the docking port with the help of the tutorial from www.ifixit.com
When I put the tablet together , touch screen was not working . Again took it apart , tried reconnecting the ribbons . When i put it together again , I am able to charge and touch screen also working :good::good::good:.
Then tried connecting the tablet to the keyboard dock, To my horror , tablet is not recognize the dock. But when i connect the charging cable to dock , both dock and tablet are charging ( atleast the lights are on) . :crying::crying::crying:

sorry for upping this old thread...
I had the same problem and after substituiting the charging port with a new one, now the tablet takes forever tho charge the battery.
I'm using a usb cable plugged to the amazon basic charger (output 5V, 2.1A), but neither the os nor the recovery tells wether the tablet is charging. Nevertheless, if I leave it plugged for some hours it reaches 100%. Battery drains at usual speed, just takes forever to charge. Sometimes the touchscreen is unresponsive too, regardless of the ROM I'm using.
Is there something to do?
Attached is a picture of the motherboard.
I have made a circle on one part of it. As you can see, there is a blue thing to the right - before, there were 2 blue things next to eachother. But the left blue thing is now gone, I don't know where... But seems like it has fallen out somehow...
Is it possible to solder this together? Or do I need the blue thing there?
When trying to use the motherboard, everything works very well - EXCEPT the touch screen, I cannot do anything because the screen doesn't feel my fingers (nowhere on the screen). And no, I have no clue if this is the reason for the touch screen not to work, but that's my guess as it worked good before.
Any help would be much appreciated, I don't have much knowledge about soldering and so on, as you might already have understood from my description above...

I would highly suggest that you do not try soldering if you don't have any previous knowledge or experience. As for if the "blue thing" is needed or not I am unsure because I myself know little about what each piece does on the board. But as far as the touch screen issues goes, if the touch screen worked before the blue piece came of, it most likely has to do with it. If it didn't (or even if it did work before), try finding a second device that is the same as yours (or if its cheap and you can afford it order a new lcd/digitizer for it) and try connecting it to that motherboard and see if it works, if so problem fixed, if not, you may be able to take i to a phone repair place and have it fixed, though most times getting a new motherboard/device would be cheaper.

Thanks for the reply.. I have actually ordered two other "broken" phones, so I will receive them in a week or something... And I will do exactly what you suggested, to try another motherboard and see if it is a problem with the screen or motherboard. I am very sure it is the motherboard though, because the lcd and digitizer worked great just before I discovered that.
Would still appreciate answers regarding soldering this, if that is possible or not.
Solder motherboard, possible?

It seems like your missing a resistor . you can simply measure the values on the existing component and order the same value on digikey. let me know if you need help with soldering

Ah, a resistor! Not easy to know when you have no clue what it is...
How do I measure the values on the existing component? I don't really think I need any help with soldering, but pretty much everything before that... Haha
Thanks!
