Anyone have or know where I can get a takeout Surface RT motherboard or perhaps a parts unit with a broken screen?
One of mine got dropped while there was a USB stick inserted and when it landed on the stick the impact cracked the motherboard where the USB slot is attached. Everything works except for the USB slot and the SD card slot. I've got it taken apart and with very little effort I could remove the motherboard.
There's been a few on Ebay but the asking price is very close to what a factory refurbished working unit sells for. It doesn't appear they've adjusted for the pricing of $179 refurbs yet.
Nevermind, wrong thread

The chrome paint of the SD-Card slot cover on my TC shows some small spots where the paint comes off already. It appears that those spots (on the side of the cover) result from a production fault. Does anyone know where to get this spare part (SD Card slot cover) 'cause I'm feeling a bit silly to return to the dealer just for this.
Welcome to the Club of the faulty devices.
The latch doesn't close properly on mine and I too don't want to send it back just for that. I didn't even think it'd be sold as a spare part but I'd definately buy one if so.
MOD EDIT: Sorry, can't leave this kind of thread open outside the Marketplace.
Thank you,

I have a G tablet that suddenly quit working. Both the touchscreen and LCD screen are in near perfect condition. The touchscreen was used with a screen protector, but there are a few fine scratches none of which are noticeable during use. The housing is in great condition minus scratches on the back from normal wear. The power socket was loose which I had soldered back to the motherboard by a local guy which might have been what cause the problem. I originally thought the battery had gone bad and bought a replacement battery which did not help, so I think the motherboard itself might have gone bad. So in total, I have a tablet, two batteries, power cord, USB cord, and leather case which works as a stand. I could sell parts individually or as a packaged deal. I would $100 or best offer for the whole lot. Message me for more details. And just FYI I was running the custom ROM Flashback.

I'm in need of the ribbon for the volume and power buttons. Any interest in selling this to me?

First off this Xoom is out of warranty. All ready called motorola to try and get the part number, but they are going to replace the whole board which would cost a lot out of warranty.
Well I put my micro sim card adapter into the xoom (with out the sim card in it) and when I pulled it out, it broke off two of the pins in the sim card tray inside the xoom.
So I took the thing apart and bent the pins up and it works great, except that anytime I want to pull it back out, I have to wedge a thin piece of plastic in there to try and slip it out, and it is a pain.
So I have great soldering skills, and I'm confident I can do it my self, but I need to get the correct sim card tray.
The best one I could find is the JAE SF8 and the SF9 series:
comparison chart: I cant use hyperlinks so see attached picture "JAE"
Does any one know which one will work?
Here are some more pictures of the Xoom and the solder points and the pins I broke.

I decided to just fix this thing with spare parts.
I found an old R/C car wire with some metal on the end, I broke it off and shaped the metal to the desired size and thickness. It was already bent but I could have done that easily as well.
Then I took the xoom apart with some websites, and also a few videos on youtube that showed me how to get some of the ribbons off with out damaging them.
Then I de-soldered the case, bent it back, and soldered on my new pieces. Put everything back and it works perfectly.
Hopefully this helps someone else, or maybe you can take it in to a small electronic repair shop and they should be able to do this. My soldering skills are not that good, so they could do a MUCH better and more professional looking job.

Would you be willing to help me fix mine for a fee? I also damaged my sim connector.
I purchased a replacement screen/LCD for my i535 on Ebay which was supposed to be OEM including pretty much all of the internals but unfortunately didn't come as pictured.
I removed everything from my old frame but noticed the new one didn't have the silicone type seal where the motherboard meets the frame.
Would anyone know if that material is some sort of a conductive seal where the motherboard surface meets? I probably shouldn't have but laid very fine lines of silicone where the factory "silicone" was supposed to be.
After assembly my signal is going up and down, searching, going to Verizon to Extended.
My question is would that seal have had something to do with the motherboard making a necessary connection to the frame for reception?
Thank you for any input.
Hi,
My Nexus 5 is water damaged. I've opened it and there was some droplets in the motherboards. I've dried it of, dismantled everything and left all the parts on rice for a week.
Today I've assembled it and tried to turn on but no luck. When connected to the charger the red light blips, and the back gets hot (on the motherboard area).
I'm looking to buy a new motherboard. I've looked in etradesupply.com but they don't sell it:
Where else can I look for parts? On eBay Nexus 5s with only cracked screens are still pretty expensive...
Thanks!
It would best to buy a new phone as you don't know if other parts of the phone might damaged as well and not only the motherboard.
