Default need a cheap Motherboard
Got my brothers old mytouch 4g with a shattered screen. upon replacing the lcd and digitizer I somehow broke the connector for the lcd ribbon cable. not sure how I did that it just seemed to crumble. does anyone happen to have a used one sitting around that they can sell?

I have six of them, but they all have the bad emmc chip and have failed... So i dont think you would be too interested in those. so i highly doubt you will find what you are looking for as well, if it is in good shape, then why would they want to sell it, and there are few, if any other than me that have tried anything like hardware hacking these things...

the board i have now has a good emmc chip in it and works great except for the lcd connection point. the top plastic broke off to the ribbon cable is loose and it causes the screen to flicker real bad. ive looked online and a new board is around $120 new. im trying to get a broken phone off of ebay but so far they have all had bad chips.

I have the same problem. The LCD connector is all messed up after attempting to replace the screen. Did you find a solution?

Me too! Let us know if you figure out either how to fix it or where to get some good motherboards.
