View Full Version : Damaged parts in my prophet

I previously bought a used prophet.
It was working fine when suddenly it randomly wouldn't take any touch command on the screen (when i click with stylus nothing happens)

I opened it trying to fix it, found out the flat cable between the board and the screen was previously damaged and soldered.

Now i ended up with a damaged flat cable and a damaged battery contacts part (the part that has the battery contacts on the board) which broke off.

Do you guys think I can find these parts? and is the flat cable a replaceable part or do i have to change the whole screen?

Any suggestion is most appreciated

You can get the flat cable separately (no need to change the LCD if it is still working).

The battery contact on the PCB will be a problem. How handy are you with a soldering iron?

PM me for more details.
