I have a problem with my XDA2 whereby the 22 pin connector at the bottom of the device has become detached from the main board (after being dropped! outch!)
I have managed to resolder the connector back onto the board, however it appears that a couple of tracks have become detached from the board along with the connector which now means that the serial and usb ports no longer work!! - and there appears to be no way to tell where these pins connect to..
In an attempt to obtain a replacement board i have got hold of a damaged XDA2 from ebay which has a broken screen. However the connector on the board for the screen in this XDA2 is completely different to the one in my XDA2 making it impossible to swap the boards over (or the screens for that matter).
Does anyone know if it is possible to disassemble these displays so that i can produce a display that works with the right connector attached? I know that it's posible to replace the touch screen on these displays but i've no idea how - and i dont want to damage my working display!!
Any help would be apprecated

Hello all.
While I was taking my HD2 apart to replace a cracked screen (glass digitizer) I accidentally broke the connector off one of the wires. The wire is black and a few inches long with a silver and round press on connector on each end. It attaches to the board that houses the vibrator motor and runs down the right side of the phone (if you were looking at it face down and partially disassembled).
Unfortunately, I lost the metal piece that broke off the wire (the thing is tiny!), so I can't just solder it back on. Any idea on where I can buy a replacement? I've spent about 6 hours today on ebay and google to no avail. Searching for "HD2 black wire" and anything similar is hardly efficient, but that's all I know about it.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Good question, I think I damaged the cable to the volume buttons so it would be cool if someone has an adress where we can get spare parts except LCD and Digitizer..
this guy on ebay seems to be selling an HD2 in parts. you might find what you need here:

Thanks, I sent that guy a message and hopefully it'll work out.
Anyone else have a source?
connector of my hd2 is also broken HTC says that the mainboard must be change and I have to pay € 230 because that is my responsibility
I think you have damaged your coaxial cable connector for wifi and bluetooth. Google will help you perhaps.
I believe that my wifi/bluetooth cable is broken, as I have no wifi or bluetooth signal since dropping my phone as reported in a previous post of mine. Can anybody advise me on the difficulty of undertaking this repair myself, does it involve complete disassembly of phone, any soldering etc. If this is the case I don't feel confident enough to do this so does anybody know of someone who does this sort of repair, I have found the cable on e bay for £7 and it looks like it has push on connectors ?
if the connectors on the boards are not broken then all you need is the coaxial cable with connectors on the two end. you need not disassemble the whole set, just open the back cover, connect one end of the cable to mother board and other end to the rigid flex board and that's it.
WiFi and Bluetooth not working

Do you think that this is my problem as since I dropped my HD2 I have no wifi (unless sat ontop of router) or bluetooth or fm radio, is it easy to get to the coax cable by removing back cover, whereabouts is it ?

Fixed it, opened up phone and spotted that at one end of the black wire the connector was not pushed onto the motherboard securely, I pushed it home and hey presto, wifi and Bluetooth now working, phew, Thanks for your help !

i have 2 X10s, one with a broken usb, and one with a broken circuit somewhere that controls the display (no screen using tested working screens).
what i'd like to know.
A is there any known way to cut off the USB part of the PCB and jumper it to another board?
B does anyone know of a fix to a the broken display problem ive described (countless googling found nothing)
C is there a way to exchange the chip holding all the BB and firmware data after flashing with the board with no display?
Help took back off my hdc s6 clone to see what battery was in to see about changing it and a ribbon from the battery snappednot sure how you get to where it goes and can I get a replacement if needed
thanks
A ribbon? you mean like the connector 'cord' to your logic bord snapped?
yes basically its that have got the other end off now. But when looking at battreys they all seem different mine as a circuit board on the end with a longer ribbon and the port is side off the battery almost in the centre
Hey there all, about a month ago i dropped my phone into the river, ordered a replacement battery (because it was bulging out) and was able to recover my phone from water damage. Had to use isopropyl to clean all the board contacts, but i think i may have fried my mic and gyrometer parts. I was wondering if there were replacement parts for these or if there was another method to test if i need to reclean them again. Also have some charging issues after replacing my battery, so im wondering whether i should replace my usb charging flex port and whether i should also replace my antenna cable cause my signals a little bit worse than original. Cheers! I need to know if i replace the usb dock port, can i use other versions other than the g925i ie 925f etc, thanks
