I know they are caused by the clips on the micro usb cables ..
are they
1) Caused a design flaw by LG (causing such a scratch)
2) LG molded designed and molded the plastic in such a way

[Q] Connecting to the back charging terminal

Hi guys!
Is it possible to connect and charge the phone through the back connectors?

My USB port seems to be broken and I was wondering if there is a way to modify a cable so that it can connect through the back connectors (which are supposed to be there because of the kick-ass car mount HTC was going to sell with the HD2)? I have seen a thread here of a guy doing it but I can't find it.
..or you can just use those External Battery charger but much better to get an Extra battery
I already ordered an external charger but I was wondering if this back terminal could be used.

Get snipped! Dock charging

I've got a dock for my Fassy in each car, and docking it flips it to landscape mode, and since I've got mine running at 800mhz, its not the fastest to do all the operations when undocking. When someone calls me, I've got no chance at answering.
The solution? Snip your cables! Just drill a hole in the back so you can use a screw driver to pry off the back plate. Then snip all the cables except the black and red ones. Now you'll have a charge only dock, no resistors to tell the phone its in a dock. I couldn't find a software solution or a kernel hack.
While I was in there, I installed a bolt so I could bolt it to my dashboard.

[Q] Camera flex cable (tiny) extension

Hi
I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.
I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.
Turns out it isn't.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?
I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)
Any input would be appreciated
Here's a photo of the connector

Bricked LG G2

Hey guys, I recently got a LG G2 steal - all the original bezel stickers, lcd stickers still intact. The catch - it doesn't work and the seller is selling it for cheap thus why.
Bought it as a project phone and am wondering if I'm able to salvage the phone .
It is not able to enter:
1) fastboot
2) no recovery
3) download
Tried the method but to no avil.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Plugging it into USB, it shows the following:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Opening up, this is the picture of the motherboard.
Led cover seems to have melted.
Would there be a way to salvage this?
or is there anyway any D802 logicboards out for sale that you can point me to.
Thanks alot chaps!

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
