Hi!
I broke the screen from my Xperia Z5. I ordered a new one from ebay with the screen and frame, installed it, and afterwards the mic and GPS are not working. I ordered a new microphone thinking I broke it when disassembling the phone, but even with the new one it doesn't work. Does anyone have any tips on what to try before I get rid of the phone?
Google didn't help much except that someone had the same mic problem with the original Xperia Z - didn't work after screen replacement. Also I couldn't find any info on where the GPS is located on the Z5 so I could check it for damages or something.
I replaced my screen too, but I haven't got any issues. Maybe you broke the motherboard connectors

Hi all,
I've recently had a crash - my N1 fell out from my pocket while climbing (stupid, I know..) - cracked screen, all that.. I've managed to replace the digitizer without big problems, but I have a more serious issue: the main (built-in) microphone stopped working and now I have to use the headset for every call
I've sent it to HTC service and they said the motherboard needs replacing and wanted me to pay 300$ for it..
Since it's quite a lot for a microphone, before buying the new one (at least 200$ for tho mobo alone) or sending it again to the HTC guys for repair, I'd like to ask you if there is anybody who had anything to do with those microphones or issues similar to mine.
The microphone itself is a small gold rectangle-shaped thing glued to the motherboard, but I cannot make out any markings on it (there seems to be something written on it, it's just not readable any more). It seems to be exactly the same as the noise-cancelling one near in the upper part of the phone. Of course, before cutting or soldering anything I'd like to know as much as I can..
So.. the questions are:
Has anyone repaired a thing like that or managed to replace a microphone on Nexus One motherboard? How could this be done?
Does anybody know where I could buy a microphone that would match?
I know it's a long shot (and a long post ), but I figured it's worth a try to look for somebody who might have some insight.
Thanks in advance,
Kuba
P.S. Could anyone move this question to Q&A, please?..first post gone wrong..
you could just buy a new one for under 300$ on ebay or a used one for less than 220 for everything new If something like that is messed up its not worth fixing, too much work
hitmanre,
thanks for the reply, but...
As I said, I figured the part on buying another mobo (or a broken N1 for parts) on my own.
I was just curious - from a DYI perspective - what's going on on the board and what's actually broken around the microphone.. If it was only the microphone then it should be easy enough to replace - but if it's a crack somewhere in the inner layers of the board, then bummer..
In fact, I opened my N1 again yesterday and cut the mic out...curious thing is that there seem to be only one connected soldered part between mobo ant the mic.. Could anyone explain how a microphone could work with a single connector? there doesn't seem to be any ground connection anywhere..
If I have some time, I'll post photos - but no sooner than in a week - going on vacation
See you,
Kuba
I have the same problem, and I live outside the service coverage area. I've had my Nexus One since May 2010, so it was more than one year old. It's really sad to quit such a really nice phone just because it can't make phone calls. It seems that nobody here in Lima know how to repair a N1. And I'm so afraid to open it...
I have seen 2 of these phones with the same issue. one mine and second a customers. and I have tried replacing the mic headset jack (headset jack can short out audio) and still nothing. mic works with loudspeaker but not in normal mode with earspeaker.
ok today I was able to get my hands on a working nexus. and swapped the upper flex and that fixed it.
the only thing is that we ordered this part from one of our sources to fix a power button (which is on the same part) and it had this issue. so I had to replace it again

I also have a problem with the mic suddenly not working and working again suddenly. So it must be a damaged flex since the phone has a dent on the upper left part of it.
Managed to drop my Sensation XE on the pavement and then stand on it (like an idiot).
LCD looks ok but the digitiser is completely shafted, has anyone successfully replaced theirs? I found the video guide below, looks doable but fairly difficult, just trying to work out if I should drop £30 on replacement parts or go to a repair centre (repair centre quoted £100)

Sod it. Bought the digitizer. Reckon it's doable.
I nailed it.
Not sure I'd recommend the DIY route to anyone else as I think came very close to killing my phone, but I feel well ninja for pulling it off.
OK maybe I didn't nail it quite so much.
Phone works as expected, but camera crashes each time I open it. Front facing camera seems ok, rear facing camera just crashes out every time. I'm guessing it's not connecting properly.
Can't find anything about replacing digitisers affecting the camera, any ideas?
The camera is probably loose, check it again. Or the flex cables are broken and faulty.
First off, I made a terrible & very stupid mistake. While cleaning up the bottom holes of the speakers and the microphone with a toothpick, I went too far in one the microphone side and destroyed it.
Now I want to replace it, I've searched for the module to replace and apparently what I have to replace is the daughterboard with the usb dock and the notification LED.
Now I found this replacement store that has said daughterboard (Can't post Photo or link due to first post)
After watching a Nexus 5 teardown Video I have doubts that thats the part that I'm looking for. Can someone help me with this Issue? Also I have a Nexus 5 D821 and the replacement part in this shop is for 820. I know that this only concerns the bandwith difference between europe and america but maybe there is more too it.
Hi all,
Just bought a second hand Xperia Z3 off eBay which had a smashed back screen. The price was low enough that it was worth buying just to simply replace the broken back glass (or so I thought).
I have a replacement back panel and the plan was to take the old heat gun, pry off the old smashed backing and replace it and all's good with world. Before I went ahead and did anything though, I wanted to test that the phone was otherwise in good working order. All functions seem to be working fine throughout my testing, except for when I came to using the camera flash.
Whether it's trying to use it as a camera flash or as a torch function, I cannot get the light to turn on at all. I don't want to open the case up just yet, so I have been doing research trying to find flash replacement parts before I crack the back off it and try replacing it.
I haven't been able to find any flash leds specifically, but from the pictures of disassembled z3's it seems like the flash led is not actually on the camera part, but is rather on the mainboard? Could anybody confirm if this is the case? And if it is indeed connected to the mainboard and I'm up for a replacement, what costs would I be looking at? Would I be able to simply buy a mainboard and swap the new for the old or is there more to it than that?
The model is an unlocked D6653.
By the way
by the way, I have test pressure sensor already, and it is normal.
ahhh, sorry, I reply in wrong thread...
Here is the teardown of the Z3 by iFixit:

And another:

Thanks for that. Damn...the closer I look at it, the more and more it's looking like the flash unit is indeed part of the main board.
Hi all,
So today I received my replacement screen from Vifocal. It was easy to replace it since it came with the midframe installed.
However, unfortunately, they sent me a faulty unit.
The backlight don't work and it's missing the main speaker grill.
Anyone has any recommendation on how to amend these issues, or what could be the problem with the backlights?
First of all send them an email with your issue. I think they will get you a refund.
Maybe they installed a lcd without the hardware buttons installed yet.
