I recently replaced by usb flex cable because the usb port wasn't charging the phone properly anymore (2nd time I might add).I noticed that my reception was incredibly poor after this so I tried to put the old one back in, but now the reception isn't any better in a lot of placed, though I think its back to LTE speeds for data when its available whereas before it wasn't but it many places I get no reception at all or very poor reception.
I may have damaged a little cable/plugin on the flex port, but i'm not sure what it is. Can anyone identify this? (picture)

It won't let me post links so I hope this works

maybe that part powers the antenna?
I think you might have accidently unplugged something somewhere else on the phone when you replaced the board. Or you ruined the actual lil wire that attaches to the receptacle in the pic you posted. If you swap boards shown in the pic and it doesn't fix problem it's something else.

OK know my X10 got ran over a few months ago and I brought a new case, lcd screen and digitizer for it and replaced the parts myself and the phone works fine apart from no wifi and bluetooth.
If anybody has any pictures pointing out where the wifi+bluetooth aerial or hardware is located I can take it back apart and look for damage to this part.
Before you ask, it was on 1.6 when repaired last week, wifi would come on but failed to connect to any router. After I flashed a generic X10i rom to the phone the wifi would not come on and I have tried a few wifi scanning apps from the market and they all say no connection. I only noticed the bluetooth not working yesterday when I tried to run blueputdroid.
So any images that you guys have would be great
Here is a picture of the phone in bits, on the main board at the bottom right is where the main aerial connects to the aerial in the back case, this cant be the fault as the phone has a great signal so if this was damaged surely the phone would have no signal what so ever???

Seems broken, usually when you have this with LCD's in laptops it's the ribbon cable between the mobo and LCD. With a tablet it's probably something similar, no ribbon cable but probably a sandwich connector of sorts between the panel and mobo. I'd say you need to return it...

it only happens every now and then is it still likely to be what you said? and I'm waiting for primes to be better before RMAing it unless it becomes unuseable
I'm working with a Vibrant that has zero signal and am seeing if I could repair it.
Okay. I figured it out myself. Maybe it's not obvious for others, but the antenna on the left side of the phone (right side is the GPS) is the antenna. In my circumstance, this phone recently got the GPS-fix as outlined in the General sticky, but went wrong. So I removed the broken antenna(completely de-soldered it off the board) and filled the contact with 0.22 60/40 solder and filed it down using a nail filer(emery board). The result is posted below.

This worked in my experience. I reverted the phone back to stock using AIO and got a signal again and am now running ICS(ExROM) with little problem in reception. Only problem is that getting a good signal indoors is near impossible now. I've concluded that signal penetration is weaker as a result. However if you're outside under a good sky: there won't be any problems whatsoever.
Hopefully, someone finds some use out of this information. Better a "partial" working phone than a dead one
Was testing out my Desire X's camera and my butter finger'ness came back and it slipped, smashed the ground. The screen looks fine, it just smashed open st the bottom. The battery doesn't really fit in properly, but if you push it in hard it fits in properly, but the device doesn't turn on.
There is also this two clips, does it have anything to do with proving battery power?

My question is, can this device still be recoverable as its not as bad. And I had paid money for it. Cheapest way to fix this? I've tried pushing everything into place but it just flings out.
When connecting the device to the PC it has a blinking led at the top which is red. Which blinks on and off.
Edit - the device turns on just fine oo freaking strong device.
Yeah, should be fixable. I think you'll need this as replacement and hopefully it will work fine then. Didn't test myself, I only had to replace screen assembly some time ago, but this part is easy to replace, provided that you've got the right screw driver available.

I got this one used, dead. Located the problem to be the transistor at the power plug and I can not find out what it is, pictures online don't get close enough. Anyone have one nearby that they could check? Might not matter if the board is exact but would help.
Shorting the pins it turns on and loads up, just don't want to bridge it.
The bottom one says 2 A and seems to be a transistor. The top blown one could be a tvs or zener diode judging by other tv box pics that I have been able to see.
Update. Luckily no one ever replied. I Tried various SOT-23 transistor looking chips out of a dish network box and found a winner. --- A05
So if your's pops, there you go.
Thanks

I have a mini m8s ii that just gets hot but couldn't see any issues on the board. Thanks. Maybe I can check again. BTW which pins did you short to get it to boot?
