Hello Community,
My gold thereads on my cell 1 broke off when screwing in and im past my warranty i believe ive owned it 4 years.
It just needs a new gold screw thingy for the incoming antenna but this is the most important port.
I cant sem to find the part # or procedure online. Thanks
The damaged SMA is part of a cable assembly that connects to the cellular module. You can buy a replacement cable assembly. You need an SMA Female bulkhead connector at this end and very likely a ufl connector at the other end.
The only other thing to find out is what length this patch lead needs to be.
Something like this:
Thank you very much.
Im just a simple girl, can i order this and pop off the cover then replace it myself you think?
It will be fiddly to get the ends off the transit and then those little ufl connectors are tricky to get off and on - even though they just pull off and press on - but it’s not rocket science… you should be fine.
Where in the world are you? You might find someone on here who can help in real life.
Just an advice from ma own experience - I pulled the parts apart too forcefully when disassembling the case, and then tore off the contacts from the modem board.
But besides from that its not too complicated
Best regards,
Ben
What type of modem in your router? some of them using U.FL other MHF4 connectors. They are different
I bought this then the simple metal that screws the antenna broke when i unscrewed it and i called pepwave probably a year and half after purchase and they said they were not responsible for this main 1 terminal breaking so i want to just fix it and move on with my life and need the part.
I could get it to a pro in phoenix and pay more money but only if i have to pay for their poor material and fix it? its just the metal female bad part they sold me with a 1,000 router…
That you both for responding. I cant even get rid of it with a broken main 1…
Power up the transit and check which module is in it. Then we can check which cable connections you need. Then I will ship you a cable and you can either have a go yourself or take it to a local smartphone repair shop and ask them to do it for you.
