You can order one from http://cnn.cn/shop/8525tytn-flex-cable-p-1732.html
That’s brilliant thanks, just ordered one. On the picture they have on there site I couldn’t see the black connecter which holds the cable in place. Guess ill see if it comes with it!
Thanks for you help much much appreciated.

sorry for my poor english
You can get both types on ebay(uk). Look for a username of shop-uk and they have both black and gold flex types (getting one myself to fix a hermes!). I think they are £15.99 GBP

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..
I hope someone can help...
In the process of replacing my LCD, i damaged the main ribbon cable (it has a small tear). Does anyone have one to sell or know where i could buy a new one??
thanks

It's amazing what that Google thing can do.
thanks for your reply - google is indeed a marvelous tool. Unfortunately, I've had no problems locating a replacement LCD, its the ribbon cable which i need - the one which connects the LCD through the sliding keyboard, also accommodating the camera and ear piece.
now, if you could pull that one from google, you've got a friend for life....
thanks

Try it there:

However, the one in the link is for the sister model. I was going to contact this firm to see it they have it for our Hermes too, but I'm waiting to see if I really need one - maybe later...
If you're successfull in finding one either at the above firm or elsewhere let us know!
Thank you / You're well come !!!
thanks microft - I sent an email to the company requesting a flex ribbon for the Hermes, I'll keep you posted on the outcome. I also found this mob:
http://www.factory2customer.com/index.php/cat/Home/cat_id/33218
The have all the parts but they appear to be only a wholesale operation. I'm also waiting to hear back from them.....
Anyone else got any leads???
It appears i'm caught by the boo-boo's. The only company authorized to stock the ribbon cable in Australia are Mobile Phone Solutions, who won't supply the item, just repair for quite a tidy sum. They also have quite a long waiting list.....
Is there anybody out there who can sell me one?
please...
Hey guys, I need the ribbon cable for an 8525, I actually need 2 of them because I severed one, and then I severed the replacement from another phone that I bought. At first, I bought a ribbon cable from cnn.cn but it doesn't work for some reason, it just shows a white screen no matter what. I swapped my phones board into another persons phone and it worked fine, I put theirs in mine with the cnn.cn ribbon cable, and same thing, white screen. So, does anyone have a broken 8525 in which the ribbon cable is still in tact and not water damaged? If so, please let me know, I would like to buy it off of you, or, does anyone know where I can buy a ribbon cable that will work? Thanks!
theres many ribbon cables - please specify
Have you tested different front keyboard circuit board? I mean this part: http://cnn.cn/shop/tytnsoftbank-x01ht-front-keyboard-p-1553.html ?
I had the fading to white problem and it was fixed with that(there are a lot of faulty front KB switchboards around)..
You can also try a solution found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872&page=8 post #78 -it might help you.

The one that goes from the LCD to the mainboard.
Yes I have tried, it's no the white screen problem, the ribbon itself is the problem, I took the ribbon out of anther phone and tried it with the front keyboard thats in my phone, worked perfectly....

If you read my original post, I bought one from there, the cable doesn't work, it just shows a white screen, so I'm not sure whether the cable is defective, or if they cable they are selling is just incompatible.
If anyone has a broken phone with a good ribbon cable, please let me know ASAP, I'd like to buy it ASAP and am willing to pay a good price. Thanks!!
anyone have anything??
Anybody have a broken HTC uni?? I need the part that connects the mainboard to the screen, my son got a hold of mine XDA EXEC version and kept turning the screen around and around.
Anyways I took it all apart and found the faulty part so I'm looking for one the possibly got wet, broken screen, broken ports, broken keyboard etc...
Or possibly if anyone knows of a place where I can find the parts...
Welcome to forums
Ask a Mod to move your thread to marketplace so you´ll get better chances
Good luck,
I've got one if you wanna buy my. Got one where the screen is blank and the other where my usb port is gone.

You can just get the part off eBay, it's something like $25-$30.
I had a similar need: I had to buy a broken screen Universal, to take the motherboard out and fix my device (problems with bootloader...)
I got a screen damaged Uni from ebay with 16 pounds, and when I got it I saw the screen ok, and only had to push the connector inside a little harder and all was good. So I got a fully functional Universal device for 16GBP. My advice is you try Ebay.
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.

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?
