Help Needed Z3 Signal Cable

Onionbbq — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:56:38 GMT

I think this part is the signal cable. Anyway I was trying to fix my water damaged z3 all that was wrong was the microphone then I must have broken a connector off as there was no clear place to insert blue wire connection so I soldered it back where I thought it was originally thinking it would work.

It lost service and it said insert sim after I broke the connector but after soldering it just says no service. Have I messed it up completely I didn't mind the damaged mic but now it won't get service. I circled where I soldered in green. Is it fixable?

Hard to tell, you might need to get it inspected.

Do you know if I use another blue wire could I connect it to somewhere to get a signal again does it have to be connected to have signal.
I don't understand if it's related.

Bad Picture, too unsharp.

But i think the Blue wire is an Antenna Cable.

Nice introduction 🙂

BUT.

In my D6603 there was an gluepad between the battery and the backpanel

Removing the backcover without knowing this may cause a damaged Battery cable. But i´m happy to say that only the Battery connectors have been disconnected first. 😉

I bought this Z3, bought a hull. But sometime i want to clean up between the Mobile and the Hull (3 Month later) but there was a crack over the backcase, from upper left to right. I did not know why and where. It was never fall down or so on.

I contacted two shops. The first said they must send it to experts... The Xperts --> W-Support said 120€... for Only 60-70€ i got my new backcover, incl. ESD gloves and an ESD wristband + Universal Repair Kit and the needed backcover.

The only thing i did not have was the destroying gluepad 😉

But now the Phone works since 8 Month very well. Looks not that i have damaged something.
