Hello, Is it possible to fix an Samsung Galaxy S5 lcd with a torn ribbon cable without having to buy a brand new one. I tore the ribbon cable. The lcd still turns on, but just doesnt respond to touch anymore. If it is possible, does anyone know any reputable services out there that could fix this problem. Thanks, David
What were you trying to do? Umm maybe check eBay for a replacement or some kind of fix kit

U would need a microscope and very very gently scrape one side of ribbon and then reconnect the lines. Not an easy task. After that retape or hot glue but u will risk the broken connection if u move the ribbon too much trying to reassemble. Only other option is to replace the entire LCD assembly.

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)..

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??
Hey guys!
I've a really big problem:
I tried to fix the "white screen of death" syndrom of my SPV M3100. But when I put together the phone again (the LCD-part) I didn't push in the flex cable of the LCD hard enough into its connector, so when I closed back the LCD part, I might have damaged the flex cable. What I know for sure is that I broke the 2 white small crooks of the connector (by accident of course). Now when I turn on the phone, the screen stays off (but the upper LED for GSM/UMTS connectivity glows for a few seconed, also the LEDs from the small keypad), only when I push hard enough on the LCD-flexcable-connector, I see a white screen, sometimes some lines, but I never saw a "good screen" again. Now my fear is, that I screwed up the LCD flex cable, what can I do in that case? buy a whole new LCD only cuz the ribbon is broken? Do I have to replace the flex cable of the phone itself too, (cuz the crooks of the connector ar broken) or can I glue the connector somehow?
I hope you know what I mean. If you need any more info plz ask me.
Plz help me in this issue, this phone is the best I've ever ever had, I don't want to lose it! Thanks in advance!

PS: took you a pic, so you know about what connector I'm talking about.

You will need Both.
Go on ebay and try to see if someone is selling the same Cell for Parts that might help you in getting your parts cheat.White Screen is indication of a bad LCD and you said you damage your flex cable too so should try ebay for a Parts Phone.Good Luck. D
I need help with broken lcd flex cable connector on motherboard!
I want to now is another connector fits for Trophy
Nothing?
Nobody knows any solution?
I had this happen on my Touch Pro2, but the cable still worked fine after inserting it. Maybe try a bit of electrical tape on top? I don't know if the facing side on the Trophy connector (the side that is broken has any data carry over or not?)
It's some pretty high level damage to do either way.
I try, but not work.
I hate to say it, your out of luck. :/ Unless you can find someone that can do awesome high level soldering and has access to the parts to replace it... that's it. HTC might repair it at a cost, since the phone isn't under warranty anymore, but you'd have to contact them and ask them if they would and what the price would be.
I buy one with broken LCD and Touchscreen and now I have a working Trophy.
Only thing is to change stock ROM with custom ROM.
Just bought a new screen for a cracked hd2 and hit some problems. Firstly, its a uk hd2, so it was a solder connection, i bought the screen + digi from ebay and noticed it was a ribbon connection (not sure if that will make a difference). When undoing these plastic clips

Both broke. They were so brittle, has anybody seen/heard of a way to fix this? I put it all back together and the screen does come on, but touch doesnt work.
Can anybody tell me what these cables do? Is one for touch, what about the other?
Gutted about my hd2, its been going so well all these years...is it fixable?
Not good :-/
those 2 clips: one is the flex ribbon connector & other is the LCD ribbon connector.
The ribbon from LCD also is feed for digitizer.
Not sure if the locking arms are replaceable by themselves ! will look at an old mainboard & see.
you may get some function by bending a very light V in the ribbon so point of v is ribbon contact face & thus pushes tighter in socket promoting better contact.
putting a bit of tape on back may help too! be careful though as actual socket is very fragile too ...

Tell me about it, thanks for explaining what the ribbon connectors do...I couldn't understand why the screen would turn on if the connector was broke. That's a good idea about slightly bending the cable, I will try that tomorrow afternoon. If i could swap them out, that would be awesome.
Thanks for answering, I appreciate you talking time to help a fellow hd2 fan!
Have made none working digitizer work via creating very light v shape bend in middle of contact area (bending across width of cable)
Do be gentle though ... not sure how successful it will be without clamp though :-/
