[Q] Back/Menu ribbon - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I replaced the glass on my S3 after a small fall, but I managed to break the ribbon cable for the back/menu buttons.
How exactly do you replace this cable? Does the digitizer have to come out ?
Cheers

[Q] broken ribbon socket

Hi
I broke the socket - on the screen half of the tablet - where the ribbon connects to the board (see picture - the plastic part to the side is what i broke off, and i just put it there for the photo). My questions are;
is this part available, and if so what is it called?
is there an alternative way to attach the ribbon if the part is not available?
if i have to replace the whole board which board is that?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Glass Replacement HELP. ( Soft Button )

Hello,
I seriously need help.
I replaced the glass of my s3 and, I think I did a pretty darned good job. But I have a problem. My return and menu buttons don't respond to touch, they light up though.
I don't believe there is anything wrong with the ribbon. Does anyone know if the ribbon relays touch or is that the glass/digitizer. I was of the impression that the ribbon is simply a light transmitter.
Anyways Help please, I'm not sure what I did wrong it looks great, I took the glass off and pushed the ribbon buttons (using the black square adhesive that came with the ribbon - should I remove it - ) to stick them to the areas of the glass that would need the light. To make sure they were flush and had contact to the glass.

[Q] digitiser clip on the motherboard

Hi I recently replaced a screen on my tab 2 10.1 but in doing so snapped the retaing clip that held the ribbin in place. The tab works with mouse and key board but has no touch response. Can I repair the connection of the broken clip which I no longer have by soldering or by using mylan tape. All advice most welcome. Thanks in advance Plutov60

home, back and menu button not working

Hi guys I replaced the crack glass on my SGH-I757M the other day. In doing so I tore the ribbon cable to the 4 touch buttons on the bottom. I know there is software to add those on the side of the screen. I would like to replace that piece of hardware. Not sure what to call it or if it can be replaced anyone have any idea
Thanks

broken clip

Hey guys. I had to replace the digitizer on my wife's galaxy tab 4 10.1 thanks to the baby grabbing it and tossing it. When I replaced the screen, I was putting the ribbon cable back in and when I went to close the locking clip, it broke in two. before this happened, I tested the screen and the soft touch keys weren't working, which is the reason for the broken tab(I had to remove the screen to try and clean the contacts.) So, Now I am left with a digitizer that doesn't work and I'm not sure if it's due to this broken clip on the ribbon cable or if the screen was screwed out of the box. Does this clip allow for contact or just to secure the digitizers ribbon cable?
