Nope, too many small solder joints! CanĀ“t simply not solder as it sits too close to each others!

It's not that hard, anyway going to a service center could be an alternative.

Lol

Lol ****, it's not that hard, okay please fix it then.
Look here:
You can't not solder it with a regular soldering iron, you need a tiny tiny iron bit!

I didn't say that is easy i said that it is not that hard. It's doable.
I assume that you don't. have proper tool. That's way i recomand you a service.
On dificulty level i whold say that from 1 to 10 it's a 6.

you try the assistance?

Get some flux. Soldered it divide the points with something steel or a razor

Thanks for sharing this, I've noticed their prices are higher than other suppliers but they have things in stock which is fair and convenient :good:
Unfortunately I have a missing pin in the micro USB which concludes to change the whole PCB :crying:
I have ordered in a rush part 90AT0021-R10000 but later on figured out that there is another part number that 90AT0021-R10010 and I actually have no clue what the difference here, I hope i's not a big deal thou

i guess they are the same, atleaset thats what the 'online chat helpdesk' guy on their website said.
I dint order it, instead got it fixed from asus service centre. It cost me 160$.
The item from the website + shipping charge will cost you nearly 120$ or more,
its better you get it fixed by asus.

I have the same problem.

Hi! I'm from Portugal and I have the same problem as all of you here....
But if you think that the service from Asus was expensive... tell me what you think about the 859$ that Asus Portugal asked me to repair the micro-usb!!!
At the website that was posted here earlier, I can by the pice by 69$... I only don't have the knowledge to replace it....
If any one knows about some tutorial or some guidelines that makes me understand how to do it without damaging the entire device, I really be gratefull!!
Hoping to get some answers...
Kisses,
Lili

Search on AliExpress for "charger flex For ASUS PadFone 2 A68 charging port connector USB dock flex cable free shipping" and resolve your problem.
I bought mine and changed, it took a week to receive.

samsung epic 4g parts

Found this website that sells spare parts incase you damaged your epic. I myself was looking for a replacement for the rim around the screen as it fell out from my hoodie pocket into the street and the rim was dented. Phone works ok but the dent is an eye sore...lol. anyways here's the link : http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm
Cool. Nice find. I always try to stick with OEM much as I can.
Great find
Supposing I keep this puppy as long as I kept my HTC Vogue, this will really come in handy. Thanks for passing this one along to everyone.

Im in soo need of this part:

They are completely out of stock and might not even get it ever as they said it is hard to get. Anyone know where I can get one? Please!
Ughhh why do they have a minimum order?
Also, question about the digitizer + LCD replacement. Do you only need to buy the digitizer + LCD combo or do you also need to buy the front housing too?

The one I ordered is seen here, http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-epic-c-26_1118.html - I bought mine from cnn.cn about 3 months ago and it was $75, not this $120 crap, terrible.
it is the same part as your website (cnn.cn, when I ordered my screen from them, had a LOT MORE Epic4g parts). What I got in the mail was a NOT CRACKED and NOT BROKEN equivalent of my old one which is this:

The link in the OP has a loudspeaker for sale. A little note: if anyone believes they have a bad antenna, the loudspeaker contains part of it, replacing it has the potential to solve the issue.
Also, I'm a coporate Sprint tech. If anyone has any issues or needs advice or a helping hand with the guts of their epic, I'm always available.

Could someone tell me what their price on the LCD and digitizer is for the Epic? Don't have time to register atm =/
They are whole sellers so you may have to buy parts in bulk in order to get stuff from them, I see that even to create an account you need to get it "approved"
But great find man!

Thanks but it requires 5 quantity purchase minimum and I only need 1 external loudspeaker. There was one selling on EBay but no longer. I am in India and bought the phone online so cannot claim warranty repairs.

Basically what's being said here is that we FINALLY have someone that can get us chargers specifically made for the Iconia. There is a wall charger and a 'desktop' charger (the one with the brick, like a laptop charger). The only benefit I can really see in the desktop charger is that I can use half of it in my iGo charger.
Either way it's NOT a 2 foot cable (thankfully!)
OEM??

Did you mean non-OEM? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacture. Acer is OEM, any other is 3rd party supplied or non-OEM.

Yes. You are right...Now I know how important to learn English. Thanks
So... where does one find this charger?
...for me, I can`t see why you can`t just get a regular household extension and just plug the charger into it
what am I missing
So how do we get one?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I finally just spliced a 6 ft wire into the factory charger. I tried the extension cord method but since the factory transformer is so close to the plug it was causing problems when hanging from the tablet off the side of my bed, it acted like a pendulum and put added stress on the small plug.

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

Pretty cool! Why can't they start making stuff like that more ofen for androids? I guess they change so much. Hopefully they stick with the design for the atrix for the next few years and there will be more of a market for our phones.

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

Is it the digitizer or the LCD? I was able to get a new digitizer with the metal frame for about US$50 from ebay.

What's the difference from the digitizer and the lcd?!
I only see one big crack on the screen, leading to 3 other branch-like cracks!
Screen works, but sometimes registers touches on it's own, and one part on the very side (where the big crack is) is completely unresponsive!

Just remember that stupid $33 usd limit for importing goods to Norway without having to pay extra custom fee/duty. If it's more expencive you must tell the seller to mark the parcel with a lower value...

Longshot -->Spare parts source for a Yoga Tablet 2 830F - 8"?

Does anyone have any ideas where I can find replacement parts for this thing? Specifically I'm seeking the little flex board that houses the micro USB connector. It's my wife's tablet and she's hard on connectors. I've repaired several of her phones but this tablet is more obscure it seems.
I've been searching based on printing on the part and I can find a pic of it from google image using "lenovo Blade2_8" but the link to a russian website doesn't go to the part shown.

Thank You! I searched everywhere I could think of; not sure how I missed the eBay one, that's my goto source for most things like this.
I'm hoping that it is the bum part as the device still recognizes that a USB is plugged in momentarily. It's a $50 guess.

wow... that ebay seller sure has a good margin considering the import statement found here it costs 1.5 us dollars per unit (not even 2), yet the seller is the one who makes the price, if you have someone who can buy from and send it to you from china... or some friend in russia for this one i am sure is way cheaper ... or just go to a near lenovo support service that does hw repairs and beg for it or tell them that you will pay double the price (3 usd)
you can also search for the part yourself, i just linked the fast found search results

If I were you, I would order a new USB connector and then solder it to the ribbon in place of the old one. It is tricky, but doable. Just need a fine tip soldering iron and some helping hands and a pair of tweezers. You do not want to let the ribbon cable heat up and melt. That would be the end. But, like I said, it can be done.

Success!
I bought and replaced the whole part and it works, charging as normal.
The $50 price tag was steep for a part that probably cost $0.10 in China but, whatever; that's why I work . And my wife is happy now. So I'll consider it a worthy investment.
Jaytronics - I usually do OK fixing my own stuff but I've never been any good at soldering. I'm shaky on a good day and I don't get much practice. I can get it done on larger things but on something that size I'd probably bridge 2 pins or something. I thought about trying it when I failed to find the whole piece but doubt won.
Thanks for the input guys. XDA saves the day again.
Now if I can just find a root and ROM for it.... it doesn't play with Hulu well on stock ROM.
