Hey guys any help on some screws being worn out on my 9930? I was trying to replaced a damaged keyboard and the 2 screws that hold the keyboard down are worn from my t5 screwdriver and I dont know how to re tighten them...
you could always get screws for the Bold 9000 and file them down if they are too long. my guess is they would fit perfectly given the dimensions of both phones. they are also T5. dont reinstall stripped screws. thats sloppy work and rookie stuff.
thx guys now i got another problem, turns out i bent one of the keyboard connector pins on the motherboard and now half my keyboard wont work....what do i do now?
first off, the keypads on these phones are just plastic overlays. the actual keyboard is built into the PCB. which part did you replace. the keyboard doesnt have a connector pin that attaches it to the board. im not quite following what you replaced, and im very familiar with these phones internals and assembly/disassembly.
if its anything like the 97xx series, the keypad hooks in under the LCD and then 2 screws hold it down on the bottom of the phone. there are no electrical connections made.
im talking about the cable from the keyboard that goes into the connector pins on the motherboard...the pin on the motherboard is bent and idk what to do now
i see what you are talking about now, this phone is built differently than previous models. your best bet is to try to straighten the pins with a small needle or something if they are obviously bent out of shape and not connecting properly.
looks like they designed it where the one section of circuit board floats under the keypad, which is weird. yea my best guess it to try to straighten the metal connectors out carefully to realign them.
yea no luck with that...my phone is pretty much DONE...and since the white sticker on the screw is gone verizon probably wont grant me a warranty replacement if i tell them my keyboard stopped working
Hey man 1 little help I would like to replace that piece on my phone but when I took out the keyboards its all together Keyboard Keypad Trackpad how to separe the keyboard from the keypad and leaving the trackpad lol? thnaks
As far as i know the keypad buttons and trackpad a separated parts... so technically you could take off the buttons and only exchange them or the lower part of the keyboard.
But im not 100% sure of that and also never did it... but the keypad buttons you can buy online ... whitout the backlight and trackpad.
yea about 2 pins actually came off the motherboard so I have no idea what to do now...Im in shock i cant believe it, i am locked into a 2 yr contract and i just got the phone
i was trying to replace the keyboard that i broke when i dropped the phone..when i went to snap back in the keyboard connector i broke off 2 pins on the motherboard..and since i voided the warranty on my phone because that white sticker isnt there anymore I dont know what to do...I would like some honest answers here guys, I really dont see how some people can joke in a situation like this that i am going thru...thank you to those who offer advice.

i gave you the most honest answers i could in both of your threads. lets review.....
1.) i told you that you can try to bend the pieces back, you stated you broke them
2.) i told you that you can wait until parts become more readily available in order to fix the phone properly
3.) i told you NOT to try to get a warranty replacement, as this phone doesnt meet the warranty guidelines since you took the phone apart. it should be covered under insurance, if you pay for it.
4.) i told you shouldnt be messing with the phone if you arent 100% sure you can do it properly. you may have been able to get it warrantied if you never disassembled it.
we already gave you every answer and covered every possible solution to your problem. i dont see what your issue is.
