Hi, bit of a tricky one this.. the picture attached is supposed be my water damaged SGS2 mainboard - what a mess
(backstory)
I've since had the phone back from the service centre, looking nothing like that, so the engineer probably cleaned it up right? which is nice of him.. problem is:
[Q] Which chip on the mainboard is that? - I know, it's not much to go from, but I can not find that damage anywhere on my mainboard! Weird. I'm not an expert though so I have my doubts..
I thought maybe 1) I need a magnifying glass to see this? (I find that hard to believe when I look at the picture!) or 2) It's under an EMI shield or something, which doesn't seem right to me either.
Any advice appreciated! TIA
+ apologies if I broke any forum rules; I tried but I probably failed ;(
F knows,but I put a link up yesterday for the service manual.Download it and view it on a pc.Check my recent posts and youll get the hotfile link.

Doesn't really help, even looking directly at the board is hard enough, but thanks. You'd think you'd see the damage with the naked eye though, right?

Hello, I'm new to forums so I can't post my question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273083
But anyway, I'm trying to perform the mod, but I'm still not fully sure about what I am doing, in this image are the intructions:
http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=727814&stc=1&d=1316713060
Im trying to perform the "other way" to do it, by removing the xOM5 resistor and then jump the center pads of xOM5 to the center pads of xOM3 or xOM0...my questions is very stupid....but It says "jump the center pads", and there are 2 center pads...so I have to jump both of them? or just one? Is there any difference if I use the top center pad or the bottom center pad?
Here is a picture of the "finished work" ( think is finished) that someone else did:
http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=729130&d=1316827192
As you can see, he only jumped the top center pad of the xOM5 resistor, to the lower center pad of the xOM0 resistor. According to this, I only need to jump one center pad to another, not both, but just wanted to make sure asking you guys.
Also, one last dummy question. He said that we should use a "relay cable", I dont understand what he means by this since english is not my natural language (as you might have already noticed). I know components but by its name in spanish, so I dont quite get what he means by "relay cable"...does he mean "insulated wire"? or is it a special kind of wire? I normally use relays for another kind of circuits in school, but not sure if he actually mean tear apart one of those and get the cable from there...
A relay as I know them:

Thanks in advance!
I do believe the center pads are traced together on the board, so it shouldn't matter which one you use.
As for your second question, I have no idea, either. Looks like everyone else is just using a plain wire.
Well this is very old, but I just wanted to say I managed to revive the vibrant with the unbrickable mod, I performed it myself. The reason I'm posting this late its because at first I thought it didnt worked (and to be honest I forgot about this), but then I realized that it was my usb cable the one not working, not the mod. I bought another vibrant so now I have two but I will just sell the unbricked one. I might add this phone was hard-bricked.

I have a bricked Vibrant. So if I did the this mod, I should be able to revive it?

My phone committed suicide in the toilet (never put it near it, someone called me and it moved with the vibration and fell) . I was able to dry it, but there is a pink dot indicating this water damage, so I guess my guarantee is broken Everything seems to work well, except that people can't hear me when calling.
There are 2 mics on this phone, so I guess it is the main one under the buttons that got damaged. I can still use voice recognition apps like Google translator, but I guess that uses the second mic.
I have seen a piece for this phone in eBay that is the 3 buttons part, and I think this part includes the mic, so maybe I'm lucky and I can repair it, all I need is the service manual or some guide with pics, and advice to be sure about it.

Thanks a lot! But those docs didn't solve my doubt, some time ago I think I saw some other pdf with much more details and pics about the parts, but I can't find it.
I'm still wondering how to fix the mic. I'll get a picture of the 3 buttons part where I suppose the mic is. Maybe you can advice me
I found this part in ebay, do you think this will include the mic?
I searched mt15 keypad

I just searched "mt15 keypad" or "xperia neo keypad" and selected origin from all countries. I found this piece cheaper in my town, so I hope I can get it there. I just need some advice to know if I should replace that piece, those manuals that taaviu linked don't explain very clearly
Hi, just wondering where is the Water damage indicator on xperia neo v

Look and find red or pink colored papers in your phone.
One is right in back side battery.
If they are white, then all ok.
If red or pink..then your phone have some water damage.

Did the repair work?
Hello devrruti,
I've a similar problem on my neo and I was wondering if you managed to fix the mic problem and/or got the appropriate service manuals?
Problem description: Phone went in washing machine and now people can't hear me on a call. However, when I put the phone on 'speaker' mode then I can be heard! (Perhaps that's related to the presence of the two mics).
Thanks!
Same Problem with my phone too...

I was wondering if you could find the keypad?? coz I gave my phone to one mobile service center guy and he could not find the keypad. Plz share a link for the keypad if you know one... It would be helpful for me... a lot....
Thanks in advance

I finally bought it on a local store, I was about to fix it, it just requires patience and take a look at the pdf our videos about disassembling it. It is a tricky part to fix.
But my phone got stolen, so for the greedy person that didn't want to return it to me, it won't be very useful
I never got to try this solution. I still have this part, maybe if sending it is cheap I can sell it to you. If you are a bit skilled you could fix it yourself.
HI today I take a closer look at my phone, and I saw that border / frame broke on my S3
The phone was not dropped once , I do not wear it in the back pants pocket, I really do not get it how it broke?!
What you say has any chance to solve it under warranty? Possibly question number two, how the problem is to replace it?
Here is a picture

recently my s2 was over run by car
its LCD was cracked
I tried to charge it and try to turn it on
I saw glowing button at bottom of my phone but after that I was not able to turn it own
I want to repair it by my own please help me??
No chance. If you have to ask, you won't be repairing it on your own. Why ? If you had the necessary knowledge/skills, you'd be resourceful enough to have already found out the extra info you might need.
Take it to someone who knows what they're doing, or if you fancy rendering the phone permanently unusable, search for the service manuals; they've been posted here before & a Google search should turn them up.

i think i can do this on my own under proper instructions
So find the service manuals & have a go at it...
can any told me it just light up once
How do you honestly expect anyone here to diagnose a phone that's been runover by a car without having the phone in front of them ? Be prepared to be very disappointed. You also just proved my suggestion that you're not capable of fixing it with that post of yours; save yourself time/grief & take it to someone skilled in repairing phones. Or sit here in this thread expecting the impossible for days/weeks/whatever *shrugs*

if it was crushed by nissan gt-r then you're screwed

Generally phone information is written somewhere below battery or near battery compartment.
Check that whole battery compartment and near SIM Slot of your phone, you may find a clue.
If you find its box/bill it may help you. Sometimes roadside mobile repair shops know such things.
If you cannot find it, I am afraid there is no other way.
