OK, I'm a ****.
Just came to remove my audio daughter board off my M500 to solder up the dodgy joints on it, and the whole bloody connector came off. I've removed the connector from the daughter board, but when attempting to resolder it, I managed to break the connector
So, I need a source of the little rectangular PCB connector (14 way, DIL) that attaches the ADB to the main board, so I can have another go Anyone know a source in the UK preferably?
Cheers

Hi All,
My S200 has served me very well. Unfortunately the mini-usb jack is jacked. My son dropped it in his baby food recently and when I was cleaning it out the little gray plastic cover for the USB wires came off....so when I look inside i see 5 wires coming out...unfortunately one of them is bent and so the USB cable is not working at all...
Is there any way to replace the USB jack? I'm pretty familiar with the insides as i have replaced the speaker and cleaned it out many times...where can i buy a jack if it's even possible? Thanks in advance!

Just buy one and solder it?

I have one HTC Elf, and the mini-usb connector was damaged... I tried to open the cellphone to fix it, but I couldn't make a way to solder it correctly.
I was thinking of wiring the connector directly to the board, instead of soldering in it, but the copper trails in the region were damaged, and I can't follow to where they go in the circuit.
Do anyone have the schematic of this part of the phone?
A high-quality picture of the region of the mini-usb connector would be perfect too!
Thanks,

Hi guys,
So the micro-USB port on my Galaxy S3 got spoilt (details here).
I ordered a new port and tools, and I've opened up my phone to get the PCB out with help from disassembly videos on youtube. But I want to get some help (videos or just talk through) for unsoldering the current port and soldering the new one, coz it's tiny. I'm an electrical engineering junior at college, so I have experience soldering pins on breadboard chips, but nothing smaller than that. :/
Looking forward to some help, guys! Thanks
I was waiting for somebody else to jump in, but since they didn't...
You can solder teeny-tiny things with non-optimal tools.
You just have to be careful.
I'd suggest that you get some old junk circuit board and try removing parts first.
You don't want to apply so much heat and pull so much that it pulls the copper off the board.
Solder wick or solder suckers can be helpful for removing excess solder.
For a connector, I add solder to make a bridge over the contacts, quickly dance the solder tip over all the contacts and lightly pry the connector with a small screwdriver.
Clean up the board removing excess solder.
Clean the board with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.
Tin the new part with solder, then "smack" it to get rid of the excess.
By now there should almost be enough solder on both the connector and the board.
Position the connector and dance the soldering iron over the contacts.
Inspect with a good magnifier (if you have one).
I just did a 10 pin 1mm pitch ribbon connector this way.
Now I have a kernel console on my Nook.
Good luck.
Edit: Oh, I didn't see the other post where your problem was just a dirty connector.
Thanks!
Thank you for the reply. I still haven't fully resolved the problem. Cleaning the port out has returned charging abilitiy, but I can't connect the phone to a PC as a USB device still. So I might indeed need to use your guidelines above eventually. Thank you for them, and congrats on that Nook kernel console!
A few month's ago I'd ordered a LCD screen replacement for my incredible, and so when I got back from work o immediately took out the LCD from the package and started taking out my old broken. For me it was my first time experience replacing an LCD phone screen, anyways back to what I was going to say was when I unplugged the connector for the screen and the motherboard itself, after attempt to plug the connectors back together; the display connector plugged in perfect while the connector for the motherboard didn't do so well. The white piece that covers the PCB Connector, it tears a little bit off and I'd tried to power on the phone, meanwhile it didn't I tried again and things got worst. So I search online for a PCB Connector and see one, so I decided to and try to rip off the PCB Connector and plan to order the PCB Connector. So the part to attempt ripping off the PCB Connector didn't go so well, and stop there before things got worst. Any suggestions how I can replace that? I can't just leave my phone in my room and have to cover in dust. I need my phone back, how can I fix these? I know this thread seems long but I tries but it details for you guys.
Friends the socket was removed and points also ... now the service is bad , i try to solder it but the hole small socket get broken and also the some points get removed , i try to put small metal inside big connector and connect the flex cable to that one and i solder cable from side the connector to the out side of flex cable but the signal is very bad any why to fix it without plug and flex cable as they get damaged ??? like soldering wires between area's ???
So either the motherboard or the USB board lost the antenna connector. Hopefully it's the USB board as you're going to have to replace the board based upon your description.
