I bought another spare MDA, used, supposedly defective as the seller says but with cradle (OK) and some accessories.
The seller says (I'm still waiting to receive the item and convince myself of the symptoms) the
vibration alarm activates when an incoming call arrives but it doesn't ring and one cannot accept calls. And further he says that the vendor of the MDA told him the mainboard would be defective.
I don't know if this is the result of a detailed examination or just an assumption.
Anyway, I would already gather in the forefield some information her what could be defective with the phone. It's a 64 MB mainboard, so it would be interesting to get it working again.
On the other hand I could use the display to repair another MDA I have lying in parts here in a box.

I've screwed up the multi-jacks on two separate motherboards now by using the HK sync cable from eBay. It just puts too much stress on the jack. Today I found a real sync cable at a flea market but I seem to have permanently fried the current motherboard because no matter how carefully I reattach it, I get a constant red light from the R/O/G led.
So I need a T-Mobile motherboard (or any motherboard that will work with a Cingular US connection, if there is one). Does anyone in the US have one to sell me? I have a spare battery/back cover component that should work fine or a Nokia NGage to trade or can pay cash.
Help me out here, don't know if I can wait for another broken screen unit to turn up on eBay at a reasonable price. Thanks!
Just post this.

If the Nokia NGage would work with T-Mobile and the teenage I know
wanted it then that could be a deal.
My Touch Pro (HTC Raphael) is acting up, the screen continuously jumps or goes completely black, the digitizer doesn't respond right, and the power button doesn't work. The navigation control doesn't work right either.

I found out where the problem came from, it's from the socket on where the flex cable from the screen part of the TP connets to the motherboard. if anyone knows where i can get a replacement mother board please let me know!
I attached some pictures with the board and the jumpy screen.
why replace board if you can replace phone?
I had similar problems a couple weeks ago, on a TP that is more than 1 yr old - local Sprint store told me to get it replaced under the Total Equipment insurance plan I have, but that would be $100 ... called Sprint customer service, they symptom-diagnosed it as loose/failing cable, so they swapped it out as a manufacturer defect, I had a replacement phone in 2 days, with return mailer included. On the phone maybe 20 minutes total.
Flex Cable is bad
The flex cable is bad. PM me and I'l explain how to fix.
My TF Prime is completely dead, it wont even turn on the lights when connected to the charger. I live in Argentina, so my closest Asus Service Center is like 10,000 km away, so send it in for RMA is a no-go. Never again will buy a product that has no warranty in my country, I promise!
The thing died last saturday, when after having troubles to get the cable into the connector, I discovered that the plastic between the pins had broken and some of them where not in their place (already twisted). I got the batteries charged and when I disconnected the charger, there were some sparks. It worked a few more minutes and then it died. No screen, no vibrations, no light when connected to charger. DEAD.
I want to do something, it just kills me to see it dead on my desk. What should I do? I thought that perhaps I can open it, and with the help of a friend with electronic expertise get to know what failed and get it replaced, but it is really risky.
I willing to hear any advise you can give me.
you dont have to send it in yourself, at least not in holland.. just start the rma from the asus website and some transport organisation will pick it up for free (Dhl in my case)
Sounds like the broken connector shorted your battery. Chances are the battery is dead in addition to the borked connector. Let everyone reading this take this as a lesson, be carefull with the fragile dock connector on the bottom of tablet!
Asus RMA may cover it, since its known to be a bad design its not uncommon to see bad connectors. The battery may be thought to be just a bad battery, if i were you i wouldnt say anything about the sparks. Just tell em you were trying to connect the cable as you normally would and noticed it wasnt going in properly, upon further inspection you noticed the plastic bit broke. You might also say you were noticing you had to charge it more often than you thought you should (so they test the battery), let em sort it out from there.
Good luck!

Yes, but there is Asus service in Holland. May it be possible to send a tablet from another country's service center and then have Asus return it back?
My hardbrick motherboard P/N 60-OK0AMBA000-B03TF201,
if motherboard P/N 60-OK0AMBA000-B05TF201 will be good? Will work in my Asus TF201?
Thanks for the reply
no one knows anything?
Not 100% sure, but from the looks of it, the only difference is one was manufactured later on. The first section would indicate that they are the exact same part.
If it does work, it's possible that the replacement motherboard may be expecting a digitizer glass with a certain rev. If yours doesn't match then your x-axis (left/right) will end up being reversed. You aren't going to know until you've assembled.
Appartently this can be fixed thru software but requries unlocking/rooting (one or the other or both... i'm not sure).
Thanks for the reply
That motherboard sold and bought another one. INSTALL, write or work
Motherboard replacement ... but I got a board with the same numbers, it works correctly.
Hello. After some weeks my TMo Samsung Galaxy Gear S Won't Stay Connected to Charging Cradle. I can hear it "Click" however, it does not stay connected and pops or sometimes slides right back off. I've contacted TMo Customer Support and have even discussed the issue with a new TMo Customer Care Dept when they called to inquire if I was still happy with TMo and if there was anything they could help me with (have been a happy TMo Customer for over 4yrs, having come from Verizon and have been able to take full advantage of the 0 Down Offers). I've been advised to take the GGS along with the Cradle to a TMo Store so that they can attempt to determine whether its the Watch itself or the Cradle. Either way, whichever one it turns out to be, I've been advised that it is either going to be covered under Warranty, or, as a last resort, under JUMP Insurance Claim with $5 Filing Fee. Has anyone else experienced this issue with the TMo Samsung Galaxy Gear S Won't Stay Connected to Charging Cradle ? Thx.
Yes. Mine did the exact same thing. In fact there's been some buzz about Samsung already retooling the charger for the Canadian GSs.
In my case, I got lucky and my local ATT rep just replaced my broken one with a defective unit they had just rcvd back from a customer. However, this is only a band aid fix... as I'm sure it will happen to this one too. I called Samsung customer support and they stated that they are aware of the issue and will update me when a replacement will be available.
Until you get a new one, use a rubber band or wire twisty to hold the charger in place. Good luck!
Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the heads up. I took my Watch and Cradle to my local Samsung spot inside the BestBuy. They happened to have another Cradle handy and it appeared as though the Pins on my Cradle had been somehow pushed in a bit. The Rep kept inquiring as to where I purchased my watch from and when I told them T-Mobile we both thought that it would be good to check with them. Went to TMo and discovered that part of one of the Clips on the Cradle had broken off, which is why it wont stay seated and locked in place with the Watch. Long story short, the good Reps at TMo put out an All-Points-Bulletin to all the local Stores to be on the lookout for a "Returned" SGGS so that they can swap out my bad one. Think I'll get with Samsung as well in the meantime. Again, thanks for hitting me back. LJ
