broken charging connector... need a new/used mainboard.

My 2i's charging connector broke. Sent it back to O2's repair centre and they specifically said that the mainboard has to be changed. Anybody here know of any thrifty way to get hold of a mainboard or a something similar? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

fixed same problem my self
Hi ,
I received a similar device from a collegue.
His charging connector was completely severed from his mainbord.
I opened the device and solderd it back on my self. Device is working again.
If you have te same problem maybe it's cheaper to find someone who can do this for you then looking for a replacement mailboard.
I have to say I had to try it 2 time because the connections where really tiny.

exactly...tiny...
You're right, it's very small, plus I have fat fingers. Well, maybe I should get someone to do it for me. I was hoping for a short cut solution and not too expensive one as well. I might try that after the holidays..

Buying a broken motherboard - Problem in SMD component

Hey everybody... What up.
I had a alignment problem, and tryed to fix by myself. Its a long story, but, the fact is I broke my hermes.
My technical guys are saying that the problem is in a kind of component called SMD component. On the component, is just possible to read AK.
I don't know if some of you have a idea of how can I buy this component, or, in the worst case, if somebody have a motherboard to sell me.
Tks,

Help with Broken ribbon cable behind Wizard Screen?

Hello All,
I have a Cingular 8125 (ie HTC Wizard 100 Gen 3) that I was replacing the case on this weekend, after purchasing a new case from eBay.
I managed to break the ribbon that leads from the L-shaped board behind the screen to the upper button and speaker when the project was 90% finished!
I now either need to sell the Wizard , including the brand new factory case, or find a replacement for that board.
I am open to either buying this board from someone who has a Wizard to part out, or I can sell the whole thing here at firesale.
I am attaching two photos detailing the damaged ribbon cable.
Any help with parts is greatly appreciated!

[Q] Help! Broken Ribbon Cable

In the middle of disassembling my Legend to replace a bad digitizer, I broke the ribbon cable connecting the power button to the PCB. I haven't reassembled it yet, but I can't see how it's going to work.

(Sorry I can't post links because of post count.)
If anyone knows what the best way to repair this would be, I would be most appreciative. Thank you.
EDIT:
It seems this is the piece I need to replace.

Anyone know where I could go about finding one of these? The part number turns up nothing on Google.

I would find a service center and ask there, or I would solder it , it's just two wires....
But be sure you purchase a part with the ribbon cable on it, what I've seen it didn't look like it was there...
Good luck...

Called HTC service center. Unfortunately they don't sell parts direct.
I thought about soldering it, however the ribbon broke so close to the base that I am not sure I would be able to get access to the conductor.
Anyone have a trashed Legend that I could buy for parts?
