Guest niklanderson Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hi there EVERYBODY This is my first post i initially joined when i bought my first MPX200 a few weeks ago and just browsed around for tips etc. Now i have just bought a second MPX200 for my girlfriend as she was always playing with mine...and my phone.... Seriously now...The problem is i am looking for a supplier of a LCD screen most importantly as the ribbon has been damaged ever so slightly and is now an intermittent fault... I bought the phone knowing it was faulty ( well knowing the main board was sound ) with the view of replacing the LCD ....at first thought i could replace ribbon but i now see it is attached / soldered one end and attaches to a connector on mainboard the other. My other problem is sourcing a housing as the one she has is pretty tatty! probably how the faults occurred So can anyone help with 1. LCD 2. Housing or 3. A Dead phone with good LCD+Housing Any help is much appreciated Thanks Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 The cable has connectors both ends and is not soldered, it is easy to remove once you have the phone apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I see what you mean, looks like you will have to get the cable and lcd as one. Are you sure that this is the actual problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest niklanderson Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Yes i am sure the ribbon has a small tear/hole in it causing an intermittent fault so i was looking to find a supplier of LCD or maybe a dead phone with good LCD / ++ Housing The MPX in question only needs a little TLC as the person i bought it from obviously did a botch The main board is sound and sim unlocked and i am using it in a housing at the mo I just wanted to repair the poorly MPX Any suggestions/offers welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LJWhorfin Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 my ribbon cable (the one that connects the 2 halves) is almost torn in half.. 5+ more wires are severed and my unit no longer functions. Anyone with spare parts that help me out with a replacement? I guess i could buy a used mpx200 off ebay for $60 ish or so and them sell off the other parts? who needs part for an mpx200 that would want them off what would end up with?? cheers -tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
