The motherboard is fried on her tf101. Does anyone have a broken tf101 to sell for cheap or is it even cost effective to replace the motherboard. I've already taken apart the device and removed the motherboard and power point where the charger connects to the motherboard, just need a new one. Thank you.
If you can find a use TF, maybe one with a broken screen.
I think it's better to buy a whole new TF vs buying a motherboard which would probably cost almost the same.

Ok, ive given up hope of un bricking my tf300, and probably will never buy another asus product after this. My question is, should i replace the motherboard in mine, or put my screen and digitizer in another tab that i can buy for about the same price as a motherboard? Which would be the easier swap, and can someone like me without any special skills even accomplish this kind of thing? Oh yea thank u all for ur help in the past!!
Either is an easy fix, but I stole the digi/lcd combo and the TS board from my TWRP bricked 16GB to replace the cracked digi on a recently acquired 32GB model. I should be able to recoup some more from the non-logic board parts remaining, enough to more than make sense over buying a logic board alone. The battery, TS board, and good LCD alone might take care of it. If not, then maybe including all the little parts and cables inside will. Even if it is more effort to post and sell all that stuff, it should add up to more than selling a parts tablet with a broken digi and bricked logic board.
But then, I've had many tablets apart, and I'm decent at repairing them. Someone who has never had one apart might find either path daunting.
If doing the repairs yourself isn't a good option, you could always take the tablets to a cell phone repair shop, assuming there's one near you. Replacing the screen on a tablet is similar enough to a smartphone that they shouldn't have any problems. There's also a chance that they fix tablets anyway since they're kind of like big smartphones in the way they're assembled. And since you have your own parts, the repairs shouldn't be too expensive.

I was looking for a reputable, cheap, place to buy a replacement LCD+digitizer for my c6603 (black). I sat on it today and it totally broke. I have watched all of the repair videos -- so I am up-to-date on how to repair it. I just need to find a cheap screen replacement now so I can repair it.
Also, it was really awesome that I rooted the device and had usb mode enabled because it allowed me to use a VNC app to display the phone on my computer. That allowed me to still use the phone even with the screen broken.
FYI: I used a usb-otg and usb mouse to unlock the screen -- that was kind of a guessing game since the screen was so messed up I couldnt see anything... so I kinda had to guess where the mouse cursor was and just got lucky unlocking it so I could back it up.:laugh::good:
I dont really want to pay over $120 for the screen/digitizer, most places are $180+ but there are some that are cheaper. Just looking for some other opinions.
Thanks for the help!
You won't find any for that price.
The phone is still to new. It's not even that cheap on Ebay

Ok, so what is a reputable place I can get it then? And what price would I expect to pay?
Thanks!

Hi there, are you interested in a complete replacement for 160$ ? I have a black complete frame with battery, coax cable, back cover, screen+digitizer. You will just have to insert in it your motherboard and the two cameras. Tell me if you want to buy it. We'll do the transaction either on ebay or via paypal.

You can buy Xperia Z parts here. Not cheap tho
Hi all...I found this deal on Ebay for an Asus 32gb TF300-B1 (not enough posts to leave a link....google search for "Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE Pad Transformer" should pull the listing in the first few entries).
It seems to have the same specs as the TF300F. Is this the same machine as TF300F and therefore can flash ROMS developed for it? Is this a good deal (it's refurbished of course)? worth the bother? etc...
Thanks for any info you can provide!
OK never mind....

I bought a Refurbished TF300T for the same price on Ebay. Works great for me and in great condition. I would definitely recommend preping to put a ROM on it if you get it, mine suffers from some lag in some of the Chrome/Internet browsers, but oythers have reported it as well. I dont game on it so I can't really comment on that, but for Surfing the web, Netflix, XBMC, Reading...media consumtion...it fits my needs perfectly. Will be even better when I get a clean, stock Rom on it.
Since my TF300T motherboard failed (according to Asus tech) They want $200 to fix it. I found that Fry's is selling a brand new Tf300T for $200. I guess I will have to buy that one as Asus does not warranty their parts or repairs. I just bought a case for my tablet and docking station 2 days before my tablet died. It hadnt even arrived before I sent the tablet to Asus.
Please ignore this. I just went to order and it is out of stock. Sucks. I have a dock, a new case for both, and a great leather case for tablet only. what a waste. Thank you Asus for not caring about your customers.
I was only 3 months out of warranty when it went out. I guess I wont be buying any other Asus components for the computers I buy if they have such low quality customer service.

It turned itself off and never came on. No lights nothing. They said it's the motherboard.

Sounds like the motherboard, except they rarely, if ever, go out like that without some kind of impact. Did you try to charge it? I mean if the battery ever comes loose for example, it evidently cannot turn on.
If you bought a refurbished, all the more reason to open it and troubleshoot. You're in San Diego. If you want, I can loan you a working motherboard without audio so you can try to make sure it's your motherboard.

It was new when I bought it. Was not dropped. And kept in a case. They did say it was motherboard. Thank you for your generous offer. Let me think about my next steps and I will pm you
My USB port is slowly dying. It only charges when the cable is in a certain position and when I move it , it stops charging.
Anyone know of a good place to get a new flex cable? I looked at etradesupply, but the shipping is too expensive. The port is 17.99, but the shipping to Canada is 31.99.
I bought 2 off amazon, but when I install it, everything works except the loud speaker. At first I thought it was a defective cable, so I tried the second one I bought as the spare.......still no sound.
At this point I thought I messed up my phone, but when I put the original one back, everything works again except the charging port.
Anyone have any experience with this? Know of a place the sells one that works?
Thanks
Where are you located? Ebay?
Since the N5 has built-in wireless charging, you could just buy a cheap qi charging pad to charge the phone wirelessly.
I'm in Canada.
I did think about eBay, but I'm worried it will be the same as the amazon one. I was hoping someone had ordered one from somewhere and can confirm it worked.
Are you in Toronto? Maybe post an ad on a buy sell trade forum for the part? Any local repair shops gave the part?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm in Vancouver.
I have contacted several reputable businesses in Vancouver, but they want to charge to install the part. I understand their point though since the profit is in the labour.
I'm hoping I don't have to go that route since its substantially more expensive. The cheapest I have been qouted is $60.
I have opened up the phone and am comfortable installing it, so I'm hoping I can save some money doing it myself.
Is this the piece you need? A wireless charger could charge the phone if the USB port is able to transfer data.

Yup!
That's what I need. Have you bought from a place that you can confirm works?
The one I have works for sure because it actually came from an LG phone. I purchased two phones: 1 with a smashed glass, the other with a damaged emmc. I took the motherboard from the phone with a smashed glass and put it into the phone with a defective motherboard.
I have never purchased replacement parts from a third party except for non-oem pre-assembled LCD/digitizer/glass/frame from Aliexpress.
The USB replacments from Amazon look exactly like the original with the same number of contacts, etc.?

The amazon one I got, looks exactly like the one in the phone right now.....thats why I'm confused as to why it didn't work. I tried 2 and both the loudspeaker didn't work. Everything else works......however .
I'm not sure which vendor sold the part but were there any negative reviews or buyers mentioning this problem? Could it be something unique about your phone's speaker? I doubt it because the speaker for the d820 and d821 have the same part number.

There were only 2 reviews.....one said they had the sound problem and the other said it was fine.....I guess its hit or miss with third party parts.
It was the cheapest I found, so that may have something to do with it not working.
Amazon. Never buy cheap
OP purchased them from Amazon but I'm not sure of the price.
Any particular place you recommend?
Did you clean the original? 99%of the time its lint in it
I believe the OP has solved the problem.

I kind XDAer ( I won't mention who, unless they want me to say) sent me the original flex cable from their broken nexus 5.
I did try to clean the port, but it was still no good.
I did buy from Amazon, however I have to admit it was the cheapest one they had for sale. I guess you do get what you pay for.
My daughter has an original SHIELD tablet. She somehow managed to take a chunk out of the micro USB charging port. In trying to fix that, I managed to mess up the board/tablet in other ways.
My question is: Can I buy a K1 with a cracked screen, and use its guts to repair my original SHIELD tablet?
Based on the screenshots I have seen, the motherboard "looks" to be the same on the 2 tablets, but I don't want to buy a tablet on Ebay, only to find out that my plan won't work.

It should but the board will be missing the sensor for the pen and unless you have the 16gb pyro you will be going to 16gb. The boards should be identical except for the pen sensor. And maybe the GPS chip
