Hello I was changing a digitizer that had been changed again and noticed that some pins were almost ripped off. After testing the new digitizer being happy that everything works smoothly (there were more repairs), when I removed the digitizer to reassemble completely 3 pins of the fpc connector followed the digitizer :/ . After some searching for the appropriate flux and heat protection tape (Greece’s market on this parts is extremely low, they had only plumbers flux) I started the repair. I’ve been stuck at a point though.
Two pins on the logic board are like they disappeared after moving the soldering iron across the pins. See links bellow.
Exhibit A Exhibit B What’s my next move? Thanks, Dim
Check these images. They give an indication where the missing pads are connected. Solder a new connector then make a jumper from the connector to a test point on the back of the board or a nearby component.
