my pinephone melted
#7
I installed my spare, used USB board but unfortunately the foil grid that connects the speaker broke off. The phone works OK otherwise but there is no vibration motor (messed up when I replaced the screen a few years ago) and no speaker, so no vibration or ringing for incoming calls unless I use an earphone. Power works OK though. I have a new USB board on order.

UPDATE:

Using a bright Tensor lamp, magnifying glass, and a 30-Watt WalMart soldering iron I was able to very carefully transfer the intact grid from the shorted USB board to the used one I installed. The speaker is now working! I can live without the vibration motor until the new board arrives.
