Okay so I don't really want to get into how it happened, but this piece that the ribbon which powers the micro sd card reader, and home button broke.
Picture of the damage in the attachments.
So, is there any way at all to get this piece repaired? I seriously do not want to have to change tablets, I love this one so much, so if there's anyway to fix it I really want to know. Thank you.
There is not practical to find Samsung parts as Chinese manufacturers are not allow to sell it. Anyway, it costs only a dime and it's not worth to sell as low demand.
You have 3 options:
1- Buy a dead mainboard and have someone swapped the connector.
2- Buy a broken screen Note Pro ( LTE or Wifi ) , then swap the mainboard.
3- Buy an used mainboard.
Most will take option 2 or 3, even professionals as it's not worth spending time to fix a connector, which requires skills and equipment to do it.

Hey guys.. I droped my touch pro about a week ago onto concrete and need a few replacement parts.. I haven't dropped a phone for years when I have had much cheaper phones and now I get a decent one this happens!
The phone actually still works 100% but is in a horrible state.. the digitzer has smashed but somehow still works, theres a key missing from the keyboard and the case is a bit munted, I will attach photos if I can.
I called 3 places in australia;
#1 HTC direct who said send it to us for a quote and we may be able to fix it ($38.50 for the quote and $11 to courier it back)
#2 A htc approved repair centre who said $170 for the screen and $110 for the keyboard.. I got into an argument with their receptionist saying the lcd is fine I just need the digitzer but she was adament they are one and the same.
#3 The vendor where I got the phone, who said their repair centre could fix it but I would have to send it to there for a quote ($35 for quote and $15 postage back)
So from what I can see I'm looking at around $300 from one place or pay $50 to another place for just the quote and they may not come back any cheaper..
I am confident enough to pull the phone apart and repair it myself.. don't have much to lose.. (I actually replaced the phone with a touch HD the next day.. sort of like drown your sorrows by replacing it with something better) As the touch pro wouldn't turn on and I figured it was completely dead..
On closer inspection a few days later I found the battery terminals had bent and wern't contacting, I bent them back and it turns on and works now)
I just want to replace the broken parts because it's a horrible mess!
I found a store on ebay selling the digitzer for $60 which is around what I would expect to pay, waiting to hear back from them if they can source a keyboard and the internal case parts, I thought someone on here might know where I can source these parts outside of Australia?
pics are below.. hope they work (warning: not for those with a weak stomach! )

It would be easier to just buy the lcd with digitizer already installed

Here's the complete housing with keyboard.

Thanks, you're a lifesaver! the only trouble is that keyboard is different to mine I think the keys would probably all line up and work but you would have to know which one was which (the symbols and punctuation ones would be hard) if I can't get the right one I'll probably order from there but if anyone knows where I can get the correct keyboard that'd be even better
Happy to help
Let me see if I can find you the touch pro keypad.

If you were here I would hug you, I have no idea how you found that so fast, maybe I was looking in the wrong places (scouring ebay and google australia) but I've been looking for hours! can now order all the parts I need to turn it into a brand new phone
Out of interest, when you say it's easier to get the screen with the digitzer already installed, is there a reason for that? I see digitizers advertised everywhere seperately, and thought they were an entirely seperate part to the LCD, or are they connected via a bunch of fragile edge connectors? I'm happy to pay the extra $44 to get the lcd / digitzer combo if theres a risk of screwing up seperating them but if it's not a hugely risks job then I wouldn't mind saving the cash..
Thanks so much d3th metal
Hey mate, i got a big f'ing scratch down my brand new fuze. Would love to know how this goes, if you get the digitizer or full screen. As im going to try and polish it out, but i dont hold much hope. So i think this is going to be the only way.
Don't know if this is a case of too little too late information, but i tried to replace the digitizer only on my touch pro because i had some major scratches on the screen. I've taken a part a number of phones in the past and I work with electronics for a living, and for the life of me I have no idea how anyone could separate the LCD from the touchscreen. I ended up cracking the LCD glass and breaking one of the itty-bitty flat cable connectors. My recommendation to anyone contemplating this is to just pay the additional cash to get the LCD and digitizer together. I tried to save $40 and now my phone is in a zillion parts in a plastic bin waiting for the new screen to get here

Yeh the way to do it is to use a razor blade. It will definitely take some time though and a lot of patients.
This would be awesome for a sticky. It would provide anyone who needs help with getting parts for their touchpro/raphael/fuze if they decide they need it.

Hi guys,
My htc fell in water, but I have dried it up. Now when I press the power key, the screen does not turn on. Then, when I press it again to supposedly off the screen, the screen turns on and off in 1second. So I can catch a glimpse of the lockscreen. So I was wondering, does anyone know why this is happening?
Is this a problem I can fix myself or should I bring it to a repair shop?
Any recommendation on a repair shop besides HTC. HTC did not even bother to look at my phone, they just saw the water indicator and said it would be $300-$500, which in fact, I know that it would not be that much.
So if anyone could help me, thanks.
I'll upload a youtube video so you guys can get a better understanding.

Had the same accident on my wifes last Nokia, couldnt repair it myself and brought it to a repair shop. They told me to throw it away because the water sensor inside the phone reported the accident audn a repair would be as expensive a an equal ne phone. sorry mate, dont hope too much ...
I guess I shall just get a new phone, like an evo 3d or something. Thanks anyway
Or they can replace the parts that's been damaged. But i'm not sure if the repair costs more than buying a new phone.
I believes LCD internal circuit detect short and turns of lcd to prevent damage.
LCD may still have water inside or main board may have been damaged.
It is impossible to guess so repair tech must use parts from good phone and swap one by one to bad phone until bad part is found.
Most repair shop will not have ability to do this so they will charge minimum $200 ( average cost for them to buy phone) or they will assume LCD is defective and quote about $150. ( their charge for LCD replacement)
HTC just charges you phone refurb charge ( for customer not their cost)
I recommend sell on eBay for $150 and buy new(used phone) on Craigslist($200-$250).
I assume since you are asking this question you don't do many or any repair...if this is true...I highly suggest you keep it that way to prevent accidental and uneccesary damage
PM me and I can assist with repair/replacement

I was kinda hoping to fix it, but I guess I should go to HTC and ask them for an exact amount of price needed to fix this phone.
I doubt there's anymore water in the phone cause I have dried it for 3days in rice and even hair dryed it.
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.

My device recently survived quite the impact, the screen got shattered, top right edge got deformed a little and then the ON/screenlock button stopped working the next day, but otherwise the phone was fully functional. So I sent it back to LG for repairs and the next week I get it back in the same condition, with a note saying it's not repairable/board cracked. I called them up, and got an image of the motherboard showing no cracks whatsoever, yet they still didn't want to re evaluate their conclusion when I created a new RA. When I got the phone back the battery was dead and even though I charge it I cant turn it on, until the button is replaced. LG suggested I contact Google for repairs, Google said I should contact LG. These people are helpless, they don't know anything. I could do the repairs myself, but I can find all the required parts online. Can I get some suggestions on my next step?
"Thank you for contacting LG Customer Service.
We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your LG device, however, your phone has already been inspected by our technitians at our repair facility and, unfortunately it has been determined that it is not repairable.
We recommend you contact your carrier for any replacement possibnility."
not much to do but to repair it yourself if you want then, or maybe look for one on swappa?
for parts http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-nexus-5.html or ebay
btw it looks like you need this http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-frame.html
Screen and battery are no problem, i could replace them any day. The power button (blue circle in the pic) doesn't work, if that's the issue, I would need to replace it, but I can't find any replacements. I actually spotted a tiny crack on the board (red circles). Ugh. Would i have to replace the whole thing?
Maybe its best to sell it for parts and buy a new one, that phone looks allmost like a total-loss. Maybe some of the internals are damaged also and total repair would be too expensive.

I have issues with the power button too because mine get stuck lot of times and it's verry annoying. I've contacted LG service center but they said that because it is soldered to the mainboard the only option to repair is to change to mainboard. I'm shocked . I haven't got warranty here because I bought it on Play Store in Canada and I'm living in Europe.
Btw I've started to research this issue and the parts and it seems these switches are the same as Samsung uses in their new galaxy phones. There are tons of pieces on ebay from it. But changing it is hard. You need a good heat gun which is able to point the heat to a small area and you have to heat the switch only. If you heat any other parts, then you phone is dead...

But I'm not hundred percent sure that these are good switches for us, they just look the same :/

I've done the repair on a Galaxy S3 using the part from Ebay. Let me tell you now that it is a pain in the ass if you don't have good micro-soldering skills. I don't, lol, but my father does and he got it done for me. Be warned, you will mess up the board if you don't know what you're doing, but it can be done. Maybe find someone local who can do the swap for you.
buy a new one, cause this one is a dissaster! keep it for repairing parts...
I noticed there are many people who have a le x720 with a burnt motherboard. My problem is quite the opposite. I have a 4+64 GB le x720 that has a perfectly working motherboard but damaged charging port. I have decided to part ways with it because it's I don't plan to change its USB board. Anyone who is looking for a motherboard for the lex720 send me a PM.
It has to be a package deal together with the screen because I will have no use for it afterwards. The screen has a small chip on the inner side on the gold part well above the display as seen from the attached photo. Because of this I will sell the screen at a very reasonable price.
Here is a gdrive folder of photos and video of the phone.

Anybody interested contact me privately.
PS: I can install any ROM and configure it as you like before shipping out.
I'm interested in your offer. Give me the price include pp.
