I recently replaced my digitizer on my inspire 4g with great success :laugh:, but now my volume button is broken and i have no Wifi :crying: . I am going to go back in and check the connectors, i just wanted to see if my fellow xda users had any similar problems. how much is a new volume flex cable and where is the wifi connector? I have heard that the wifi antenna is the battery door but what about the connector? also when i removed the black square tape covering my mother board there was a bronze metallic sticker underneath that NO One warned me about hence my now broken volume cable, what the heck is it?

hi when you open the phone you must take the volume flex first because if you dont you break other pieces you dont see now you must put a little piece of flex between the the bottons and the flex and try to press to if works then you put the sticker again so the plastic will not fall that happend to me and thats how i resolve the issue... and the wifi check the antenna to see if is disconected i have open a few phones but never had that happend
OK it took me forever but I finally replaced my volume flex cable and now everything is working except the volume down button! Upon further inspection I noticed "electric conducting paint"(similar to the paint on the battery door,simcard and GPS covers) on the interior of the volume button at the top and bottom. on the bottom where the down button touches the flex cable this "paint" has faded thus no volume down. Can I buy this type of paint? I tried a piece of foil but its to tedious to install.

Hello guys,
I want to JTAG my sensation xe and I have few questions that I hope you could help me with.
I want to understand how to connect the phone's motherboard to a power source.
I've seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I8bsUgfIlw
and those are my questions:
1. Why another exterior power is needed? why the usb cable connected between motherboard and PC isn't enough?
2. Do I have to connect the motherboard to a power supply or may I just connect the corner pins to the phone's battery?
3. Does the power supply need to have the voltage and the current of a regular Sensation XE Battery?
I just want to see things more cleary, I didn't find my answers on google.
Thank you!
SOLVED!!!

just follow my instruction and you will get your device alive (Like mine)
no need external power
it's verry easy
here
HTC SENSATION XE RIFF JTAG NO EXTERNAL POWER
EDIT:
If you have the JTAG adapter you don't need to solder any thing
and concerning the power supply, you don't need an additional power source, just the usb cable will do the job

I do have the adapter
Do you know why they do use additional power source?

no i don't, but maybe some devices require battery to be on
our htc sensation will turn on just by pluging usb cable
any way you can follow my guide to revive a fully dead htc sensation, other wise you can just do the regular resurrection method
and remember, just use usb cable no external power.
If the jtag won't recognize your phone, just set TCK frequency manualy in 1Mhz

hi,
i snapped the thin flex cable for the power button when trying to replace the screen. is there a part i can replace? or will soldering work?
Hi my power button flex cable broke when I replaced my screen on my OPO is there anyway to fix it?
Has anyone replaced the flex cable for the two buttons? I'm just wondering if anyone was successful, and how difficult it is. I have my watch taken apart down to just the motherboard, but I'm not sure how that cable attaches to it.
Thanks
The ribbon cable is soldered on.
I have been told it is not a very difficult job.
I have the broken power button issue but I am hesitant in replacing the cable as I don't trust my soldering skills.
Perhaps I will replace the whole motherboard.
Have you had any luck with this issue? What did you do- replace the motherboard?
