WTB: Broken 8525 or, help me find a part....please!

[myztikal47]

Hey guys, I need the ribbon cable for an 8525, I actually need 2 of them because I severed one, and then I severed the replacement from another phone that I bought. At first, I bought a ribbon cable from cnn.cn but it doesn't work for some reason, it just shows a white screen no matter what. I swapped my phones board into another persons phone and it worked fine, I put theirs in mine with the cnn.cn ribbon cable, and same thing, white screen. So, does anyone have a broken 8525 in which the ribbon cable is still in tact and not water damaged? If so, please let me know, I would like to buy it off of you, or, does anyone know where I can buy a ribbon cable that will work? Thanks!

Have you tested different front keyboard circuit board? I mean this part: http://cnn.cn/shop/tytnsoftbank-x01ht-front-keyboard-p-1553.html ?
I had the fading to white problem and it was fixed with that(there are a lot of faulty front KB switchboards around)..

The one that goes from the LCD to the mainboard.



Yes I have tried, it's no the white screen problem, the ribbon itself is the problem, I took the ribbon out of anther phone and tried it with the front keyboard thats in my phone, worked perfectly....

If you read my original post, I bought one from there, the cable doesn't work, it just shows a white screen, so I'm not sure whether the cable is defective, or if they cable they are selling is just incompatible.


If anyone has a broken phone with a good ribbon cable, please let me know ASAP, I'd like to buy it ASAP and am willing to pay a good price. Thanks!!
