I would like to know how to replace the volume ribbon flex cable in my tablet.
I have opened it up before to replace my battery.
Now both volumes are broken.
I bought one in ebay, but the flex cable doesn't match.
Before I realized the flex cable wasn't the one i need, I tried to get the volume ribbon flex cable off my tablet, but it was too hard and I want to know how to take it out.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Without it, I can't really do recoveries because I have CWM and it needs the rockers to move up and down.

ARIA power button frex cable ripped.
Is there any solution to recover it? Anyone knows pinout on mainboard?
No, sorry. The power button is part of the flex cable. You must change the entire flex cable.
You can turn on the phone plugging it to your computer or charger then inserting the battery.
Hello,
This is a little bit old of a thread, however if you have not solved your issue there is a hardware solution. I own an electronics repair store (iRepairNational.com) and we just had a customer in who ripped that flex cable trying to repair the screen. The general steps are:
1) Cut the button PCB portion off the remaing flex cable, remove the tape and metal button cap and solder two micro leads to the button PCB; one to the inner disc (cut a small notch into the side of the PCB so you can access the inner disc without shorting against the outer disc) and one to the outer disc.
2) Solder one of the micro leads to ground, any ground will work.
3) If you examine the bottom of the PCB where the flex originally was sandwiched, you will see two micro SMT resistors. Solder the second lead to the leftmost of the two resistors. Take CARE not to de-solder that SMT resistor by getting it too hot.
4) You will need to flow solder onto the two discs you soldered the leads to originally so the leads do not create bumps preventing the button cap from springing correctly.
5) Replace the button cap/tape and install your now working power button
If this is a little more than you want to get into or you don't have micro soldering tools, we perform the repair for $48.
so i managed to mess up the flex cable connected to the power button AND ruin my micro USB port ( i accidentally broke the far left pin, and while trying to replace it drenched the rest in solder) ((internal pins, not external)) does anybody know how i could replace these or fix them without breaking the bank (teenager with no job >.>)
*in case anyone was wondering, i broke them doing this : http://youtu.be/0ga4N_Ih9GE
EDIT: i have an old blackberry with a microusb port somewhere if that could be useful somehow?
edit2: started to wick some of the solder off of the pins with my iron, i dont actually have a wick. unfortunately i have class in the morning and some papers to write so i wont be able to do much. looks like im going back to my old motorola cliq until i can figure this out. anyone have any advice for soldering extremely small connections so maybe i can redo the pins? i have an idea for the power button.
hello, while i disassembled my s2 to see what type of usb flex cable it had, i noticed it was missing 2 internal screws-one holding the flex cable and the other holding the the motherboard at the side. should i consider it necessary to put screws there...if yes where do i get the screws?
on ebay the screws are too pricey.
So when I was replacing the screen and the frame on my phone I realized the power button had a flex cable, one gentle movement and now it broke. I was able to order a new one but it's been 3 weeks since I had the phone taken apart and I don't remember how the flex cable attaches to the frame so that the button can actually touch it? If somebody could pop off their case and take a picture and/or undo their power button and describe how it goes back together that would be great!

In my experience, the power flex cable is soldered to the motherboard usually. You may have either buy a soldering iron and do the most precise work you've ever done in your life or contact a phone store. Sorry if this wasn't helpful.
Accidentally broke power/volume flex cable replacing a cracked screen. Phone powers on via usb and DT2W works on current rom.
Was thinking of ordering new part but not sure how cable is connected to the board? ie solder or glue??
Does anyone know? Is it easy to replace?
You have to solder it (carefully) or give it to technicians to do it for you.
I ordered two not long ago from Aliexpress
