When trying to separate the male & female connectors in dsi I accidently pulled the female connector completely off the board. How do I repair? Thanks! Update Sorry.. power connector. I’m assuming that the reason the dsi now won’t power on because this piece is no longer attached to the board? The repair I was originally making was to just replace a scratched lower screen. THanks
kvogel I believe that the power connector is solder on the logic board. The replacements are relatively inexpensive and require you to solder it on the logic board. Not knowing your comfort level with that, I’d say it is not a horrible job and can be accomplished. Make sure you check your logic board for any cracks/tears. Also check the trace and solder pads to make sure that there is no damage. Oh yes, since the power connector is of the logic board, it will not power on. Good Luck and let us know how it is going.
