I bought a Fuze off ebay and the previous owner in repairing the phone rip off the external speaker wires and broke off the connector attach to board.
The solder pads and still there, actually the 2 posts still present on the mainboard.
Where can I buy the speaker connector? so I can re solder it back onto the board?
I can post pics if needed to better explain.
My last option is to buy a parts phone, will a sprint htc touch have the same speaker connector? or will it have to be another fuze.
My other option which I don't want to do is dig up my parts bin for a generic connector, so it can be disconnected to take apart.
If you are skilled enough to re-solder a connector in the first place, why don't you solder your own connector instead of trying to replace the original one. Better yet, solder a wire to the board to an alternate connector,then replace the connector on the speaker leads to the matching alternate connector. I already tore one speaker wire when opening my Fuze, because its is too short. Luckily I did not yank the connector so I was able to purchase a replacement speaker for $10 and reconnect.
I wanted it look stock, but it's hard to find a cheap parts phone so I will just solder on a different connector.
I was doing a repair to my ASUS TF101 and damaged the connector for a ribbon cable on to a PCB. It's about 10mm wide and has 20 pins. It is the type where a black piece of plastic folds down to hold the cable in place. This has snapped off
Is it possible to get a spare part online and fix this? If not glue it in place??

After disassembling my phone to change the usb port, camera is not able to focus on nearby objects. I have installed another program to handle the focus manually but not luck, the focus is moving when i slide the bar, but with nearby objects is blurry. Any idea???
Did you replace the port pcb with the same part number?
Check any connectors you took off for damage to the pins or misalignment. Check ribbon cables for damage. Reassemble exactly as it was disassembled... watch some tear down vids, maybe you missed something.
Loose components and pcbs are more susceptible to ESD damage... ESD protocols should be observed. At least keep room humidity above 45%! Wear cotton clothes.
Did you replace the port pcb with the same part number?
It's identical but with different part number.
I cheked the connectors, good solder and alignment. May be i have to use a magnifien lens to check SMD connectors, sometimes when you remove a connector welding can break .......

Not identical, wrong part. This could be the cause. To verify this put the old pcb back in to see if it resolves the issue.
If so you need that exact OEM part.
Also the BGA chipsets are impossible to inspect with their dozens of solder joints under the chipset... but I don't think that's the issue.
Finally resolve, the problem is the lens protector, when i removed it, camera focus its very fast even macro scenes.
There are two issues with the lens protector, is lightly gladed, but the most important, the distance between the camera and the lens, as show this video:
Hello! I have a Samsung A32 5G and it won't turn on unless I apply pressure on the ribbon cable. How can I find out if the cable or the connector on the motherboard not working.
Use a pencil eraser to gently poke different spots to try to provoke a response to help isolate the area. Use a good light source and magnification to try and spot solder fractures on the mobo.
If it suffered drops with no case it maybe a mobo failure. The BGA chipsets are intolerant to board flexing and high G loading... a good case makes impacts survivable by reducing both.
