Hi all
Long story short, after I sent my nexus to ASUS Repair Service under warranty, they denied warranty and asked me for 200€ for a new board.
The problem is that my tablet is missing one of the 2 gps connectors on the mainboard that make contact with the antenna (back cover).
Any ideias if I can repair it myself? I am looking for a connector that fits as the original one to try and get it working. I may need to solder it into the board. Anyone tried something like this yet?
Thanks in advance

you can do what that other guy did for his WiFi and just solder 2 wires from the board to the antenna on the back cover
You can't solder wires and expect it to work properly due to high frequency miss match issues. Carefully desolder one of the group d clips close to the end of the PCB by the speakers and use that to replace the broken clip. They're all the same type.

you can just solder wire to the antenna, dude who install in their cars have done it and works.

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know where to get rubber plugs that fit into the Micro-B USB on the bottom of the HTC HD2?
I found only for Mini-A USB

I would appreciate any insight on this matter.
Thank you,

don't think there are any, thethickness of the empty spaces beside the contacts is too slim to have rubber parts slide inside, IMO...

The company that makes the ones above are currently getting the tooling,dies,and molds together for the Micro-B plugs but they are about 3-4 months away from having their first run. I was trying to find some before I get my phone to protect against moisture/dust from the day it was removed from the box.
Thank you,
Monnie
Interesting news, thanks for the update.
Oddly enough I stumbled across this via google while looking for the same thing for my Desire. Would you mind passing me the contact details of the company? If they're selling small quantities then I'll order some when they're available.
i think topi covers has what you are looking for. they sell both mini and micro usb covers. Can't tell if its type a or b though.
google topi covers to find their website.
will this do?

glad to be of help..
(Edit: I noticed that you can't view the picture or the post within the xda app. Sorry about that.)
So.. I'm hoping someone who is familiar with the hardware in these phones stumbles upon this, maybe Adam Outler?
I've had problems with my external speaker. I went through all the fixes until I finally found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15648897&postcount=19
This was the only permanent one for me. After I did that, it was working great for a few months. I like to use my phone to play music through the external speaker, and it worked like a charm. Then I noticed the problem starting to come back, so I figured that through use that the connection needed to be lifted again..

I lifted too high on this connection, and basically broke it in half. I have both parts of it, and I'm wondering if any of you guys may be able to brainstorm a way to salvage this. At the moment I'm thinking maybe solder? (I grabbed electrical tape, but I don't think that's going to cut it lol) I haven't soldered before though, but I'm pretty sure my brother has all of the soldering tools.
Thanks for your time guys.
Kinda crazy..
It's working with electrical tape. We'll see how long that lasts.
I just put a tiny piece in between the two parts to give it the space I was originally after, and then an additional piece over the top to hold it in. The speaker assembly sits over it and gives it more pressure, so that helps I think.
However, I'm still very interested to see what you guys think.
Update/ bump:
It's cut out once, but otherwise it seems to be working. I don't know what type of metal is used in that connection, or if it's something that can be soldered or not.
Probable copper

I recently picked up a spoilt LG Optimus Black (White) that wouldn't turn on. When I opened it up, the socket where the USB charging flex connects to the mainboard had desoldered itself. I tried to solder it back on but I damaged it (too much heat).
Anyone knows the part number so I can order a new one and try to solder it back on? Thanks!

Did you search the service manual? You might find its number there (I hope).

Service Manual LG P970 (Optimus Black)
Avoid using a soldering iron above 25W (even 25W may be too much), and you'll probably need a tip with less than 1mm.

Interesting, but...quite honestly, I don't know if super glue won't damage PCB's fiberglass....be careful.

Hi, I've got a problem with my S3 LTE. I have changed full set in my phone. Connected it to the motherboard and there is a problem with touch sreen. Once it works, then it suddenly stops and doesn't work. I tried to change ROM, I have contacted seller of set, because thought that is faulty. He sent me a new one and it is the same problem. When he got the package with that first one, he wrote to me that it works perfectly with his phone. After few weeks with this problem I saw something new today. At the time, when I'm pressing motherboard in red selected area, touch screen works! It is not about the LCD flex, because when try to push this flex it doesn't help me. It works always when I press here, like on image. What is an issue? What could I do? (sorry for my English, it is not perfect)
Here on this picture it is i9300 but it's the same place as in my i9305.

It seems that it is problem with cold solder joint on motherboard, that is my opinion. When I heated it by hot air in 100° C for a minute touch worked for a few hours. Is it possible to repair? What should I do?

What's on the other side? I mean in the exact same area.
Right bottom corner on this two pictures.
Anybody got any ideas?
Hey guys!
My phone started having troubles with the touch (how unexpected right?)
Well, the thing is, when I was gonna remove the digitizer connector cable, I tried pulling the black plastic thing backwards instead of flipping it up.
Reason I did this was because I've repaired a few laptops and they had the type of connector were you pull the plastic thing back to release the connector.
The black plastic thing broke off in half so now I can't securely connect the digitizer anymore.
So, question is, can I get a replacement? I took one from another old HTC phone but it's not the correct one. (Lenght wise is correct, but not with the holes for the pins)
At 1:54 it shows the thing I'm talking about.
Youtube link (imbedded link didnt work)
Also attaches a printscreen of it for less hassle.

The black plastic piece that shows is the one I'm talking about!
Better view:
I don't even know the name of these parts so I don't even know what to search for. Please help me out guys.
Probably best way is to buy a new complete connector and remove the black plastic piece and fasten it onto the phones one.
Kind regards,
Tony
EDIT: Note sure if it's the same, but found this on ebay:

Is this the same type?
Nobody?
