I was trying to replace a cracked screen on my 8125 and broke a ribbon cable which connected the circuit boards right below the screen.
I've attached a pic of the part I need(I also circled where it broke).
If anyone has this spare part or knows where I might get it, please let me know.
Thanks...

I might have one but the upper part is broken which means you can't use the earpiece (if you use a bluetooth or headset, it will be fine). PM me if interested

Ummm, I believe he's referring to the long flexible cable on the left side, indicated with the green arrows.
yup! I found it easier to disconnect the red marked connector, than puzzling on the green one.
Do you also have the audio problem???
i'm trying replacing front cover.....
can u explain me how to unclip that connector?
have i to raise it? or pull to the right?
help help :roll:
dood im trying ot figure something out similar to this. i followed that guide to replace my housing, which i think is what ur trying to do. u do have to move the black lock on the left side, lower part, and remove the ribbon connector. i did that, well i pulled the black lock OFF, it says in the tutorial to like flip it up, but i didnt see how that was possible. anyways after i took it off, i cant put teh damn thing back on? its like i have to slide it into all those mini gold pins. i think when i was trying to put the ribbon connector back in i bent a few, so when when i try to turn my fone on, i get a buncha random colors.AHH someone help??
i ve changed and replaced all
so, when u have to remove lcd, is better remove pad connector, the red circled one
don't touch lcd connector!!!
then to remove lcd we have to force a clip on the right.
on the left there is a removable clip, that fixs lcd to cover...
u can try to remove this one first, raising it
but be carefull....!!!

I will have to try this! But where do I get hold of a new cover (the old one is broken) ???
ebay.....
I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a site or page that sells parts for the ppc or xv6700. I have one, and I need to replace the scroll button on the front. That toggle thing on the front no longer clicks in. It goes left right, up and down but no longer clicks in.
just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a replacement other than buying a phone with a broken LCD off ebay or something.
thanks
Unfortunately that's the only thing I know of. But I also haven't looked.
parts for the 6700
i have parts for it if you want
Hi,
The speaker on the outside of my universal (the onw you hold against your ear with when the screen is on the inside) is broken.
That started as something like a bad contact (if I pressed the phone against my ear it would work, otherwise not). Now it is not working at all.
The speaker on the LCD side is working fine.
The advice I want:
I took a look at the service manual PDF I got and disassembling the phone to reach that speaker is a lot of work. I do have experience with diassembling electronic devices and even do some soldering, etc. However, my doubt is this: I have a phone which does work, but the way I like to use it to make calls does not work.
Question 1
Is it worth the trouble to diasassemble the whole device just to check if it is indeed a bad contact due to i.e. dirt? Or will I actually risk breaking something off, which will render the complete phone useless? Looking at the service manual, one needs to use a plastic tool to actually open the phone. How easy do the hinges break off?
Question 2
Has anyone had a similar problem? Was it easy to fix?
Thank you!
Cheers,
vma
you dont need to disassemble the whole phone just disassemble the screen . It isnt that hard to do, just remove all the screws from the screen . The screen casing is difficult to budge at first but once you have freed part of it open, the rest follows quite easily.
Hi,
Meanwhile I couldn't resist and opened it...
...and I found the guilty part.
It seems that the outside speaker is actually attached to the case and uses a contact connection to the PCB. This connection is made by to metal plates, which are tiny and folded. They will compensate the varying pressure made on the case (i.e. when you press it) and I guess with time they tend to break at the fold.
This happend to one of the two contacts. First I tried to fix it, but the truth is that it is so small that it is quite impossible to do anything about it. I considered soldering a small wire, but that would require to solder the other end to the pin on the PCB, which then would mean, I could no longer use a regular replacement speaker, if this one had any other fault (unless I could clean the contact again, but trying that, I could break something else, also).
This means: now I am not able to use the outside speaker anymore...
Question: where can I purchase a replacement one? Would anyone sell me one from a broken Universal (for a symbolic price - anything over 10 Euro is too much, as I would prefer to just buy a another second hand Universal)?
And as I was figuring this out, I used the occation to fix that loose stylus!
1) Open the underside case (4 screws, then open the case all around with some thin plastic).
2) Roll a little bit of celotape and place it between the case and the pin that fixes the stylus in position.
3) Try it out until it is OK.
4) Close the case and that's it!
Cheers,
vma
Hi buddy, in fact I did have the same problem that you're having some months ago, my uni fell and since then the problem just got worst, until some day a couple months ago I opened it and fix it.
It's just like you say, the little golden plated contacts wore off, then the little speaker's metal plates just were too high to make any contact against the pcb, it's really simple, just pull the plates gently away from the little speaker, do clean both sides of the contacts (pcb and speaker's plates), i did this with a little xacto knife (be very gentle), and that's it! It worked just fine.
The problem is that in my case one of the metal plates broke off.
I tried to fix that, but it is to small for me to achive anything.
Cheers,
vma

Extra piece....jk, I have no idea lol.
Don't know what it's called but it goes on a square bumped out piece of metal near the antenna plug and vibrate thing on the top of the mainboard.
Same thing happen to me..
Looked like it's some sort of a "Mic Rubber Cap" which would help the device to easily acquire the noise that has been transmitted to the mic. Have you noticed that small hole on the bottom of your phone right beside the USB rubber cap? That's where it should be located parallel to the motherboard. I suggest you dismanlte and put it back again...
Btw, are there any differences on the mic while that rubber is out? perhaps you should try calling someone to test it...

I have the same problem, mic doesn`t work after a drop, I bought the flex cable of ebay, but I`m a bit confused on how to install it,
I follow some guides on you tube, but normally they require to remove the screen, and that would be very difficult not to break it,
Any help please?
