Hello Forum,
I want to change the resistive screen on my MTK6513 Star A5000 phone with a capacitive one.
I was stupid enough to think that they would be interexchangable, which unfortunately isn't true.
The resistive screen is connected via a long 4 pin flat cable to the middle of the board, while the capacitive has a short 6 pin flat cable. I found the place on the board where a connector should be soldered but there is no connector. However the pins are actually visible so I did an old trick where you stick the flat cable right beside the pins so it has contact. I think the contact works but there is more to be done.
There should be either a jumper or some firmware hack to tell the phone it should use the new screen now. I couldn't find any information on the net.
Can anyone help out, please?
Regards,

I just got this old phone from my friend after he upgraded. It's a solid phone but I'm having 2 issues.
1. The power button doesn't have the nice clicking feel to it. I opened the phone up and discovered the power button was one that I have not seen before. Is this button soldered onto the board? I would like to replace it myself, I have tried looking up power button fixes but was not able to find any results with this particular button type. It's usually the ribbon cable type deal with the flat disk contact kinda deal. Any idea where I can find some instructions and the buttons themselves?
2. I have a problem with the phone not powering down. After shutting the phone down the phone boots right back up or the screen shows the charging animation. Also the screen never goes into sleep mode it only goes into the dim mode. I looked up this problem and it seems to be a common one, a problem with the micro usb slot. I ordered the whole usb slot and the board its attached to. My question for this one is how difficult is the install?

I just replaced the screen one of my i777's. I followed this great guide my LE55ONS on YouTube. It was for I i9100, but they are almost the same phone. Along the way in the video he explains how to replace everything in the phone, including the microUSB board and flex cable, which if i remember was a pretty easy fix. As for the power button, i would try maybe putting a little piece of paper or cardboard or foam or something inside the phone right next to the button, that might make it more ferm when pushed.
Hope this helped.
Here's the link to the video :

Thanks for the reply, yes I saw the video too, it was helpful but that dang power button is so mushy it feels horrible. A little update though I was able to fix the micro usb port by cleaning it with a brush then bending the pins towards the screen, it appears that over time the row of pins gets pushed too far down and shorts the assembly. Power problems fixed but not the power button. Only place I can find that even has the power button repair service is mobiletechvideos

You might want to check the forums for your device, as the hardware between the I777 and the T898 are very different.

Hello and Happy New Year to all members and guests in this great community.
I droped my phone very hard on the floor and i smashed the digitizer and the screen destroyed too (actually from the screen was broken the flex cable on the base of the screen).
Now of course it wouldn't turn the screen on and makes no buzz sound when i press the power button.
When i connect it to my pc through the USB cable it does nothing (i pulled out my sd card, can this be a reason?).
My question is, if i replace the screen and the digitizer it will work? or the fact that it does not connect to my pc might hide other hardware issues?
From a closer look i didn't see any cracks on the plack's surface.
Any help would be acceptable and appreciated.
Thanks

C'mon guys (and girls too of course)
I don't believe that in the bigest community of mobile technology can't anyone help me!!!
If the phone is ok, despite the cracked screen and digitizer, will it work if i connect it to my pc or not?
Thanks on any answer.
if your phone wont connect to PC or vibrate on startup, Im sorry to say that but your motherboard is damaged and replacing by new one is expensive! bad luck budy! this was my bad luck few months ago
I've got the MB810, and am looking at some replacement parts (yay China! ) My question is a hardware question-what do I need? The power/lock screen button has lost it's spring, and doesn't like to react to being depressed. I have found the power button flex cable, but can't find any info as to what components it directly replaces, and if it would completely replace the switch, or just connect the buttons to the board. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all, I'm working on a friend's Verizon V10 (VS990). The flex cable with the actual power & volume buttons is defective. I've scoured eBay and other part sites to find the button assembly. The fingerprint scanner is readily available, but for some reason I'm having a hard time finding the button flex cable assembly. My friend bought the phone secondhand, so he's not sure if he could get LG to fix it without costing an arm and a leg. Does anyone here know of any other good cell phone repair part sites I could check for this cable? Attached is a picture of what I'm talking about. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

So I answered my own question, apparently. I discovered that the LG part number for this is EAX66848101. I did a search with this part number and found a site in Spain that has the part I need. Sure, it'll be expensive, but still less than LG will probably charge. If anyone else is looking for this part, here's the link to the site I found:

Thank you for updating us with very useful info. Some may need it and too many times people are not mindful to be considerate enough to help others when they've solved the problem. Thank you again.
Thanks dude might come handy someday
