Is it fixable ?

raikko

Hello,

 

I'm currently working on a smartphone's motherboard and I would like to know if there's a way to fix what's circled in red ?

Thank you, Eric.

  • Hi Eric,

     

    It is fixable, but you'd need to examine a working phone to see what the part was that got broken off, and that could entail removing it (and potentially damaging the second phone) and measuring it. It isn't possible to know for sure otherwise.

    Also, the phone might work without that part anyway - looks like it could have been an ESD protection part since it is near the edge of the board close to that SIM or micro-SD socket.

    Also, although it is fixable it needs some care and experience - it is a tiny part, needs some thin wire too, and scraping of the PCB, and some adhesive to hold the part afterwards. It might not fit together after all that, since often it seems less than 1mm clearance is available in mobile phones.

    Actually, it's the power button connector that goes there.
