Snapped blue cable to speaker. Chance of repair?

History

Hi guys, accidently snapped the blue wire leading to the speaker when changing display assembly. It appears to have snapped off right at the logic board. I have medium skills with a soldering iron. Realisticly, what are my chances of getting this thing back together and is there a way of removing the bottom part of the logic board to get at the right spot (the wire connects to the underside of the logic board) Thanks in advanced for any help or suggestions.

jamiesonbaker, do you think it would be possible for you to post some pictures? It would help us to help you...:-)

oldturkey03,

Sure thing, I will attempt to do so over the weekend.

I had this same issue myself. If you look at the teardown, they are attached on the underside of the board. The red wire is soldered to the terminal closest to the speaker and the blue one is soldered to the terminal furthest from the speaker.

Quick followup- I couldn't get to the underside very easily, so I soldered a short extension to the blue cable and soldered that to the front side solder point (the one furthest from the speaker). I protected it from contacting the metal shielding plate that goes over it with a small piece of electric tape. Seems to be working fine now. CJ

CJO,

I did the same fix as CJ, works fine now! Thanks CJ

I have blue wire blues and now I can fix it, I hope. Am new to this, so any idea where to get fine wire and possibly shrink insulation that small? I need to make an extension for the repair. I will use electrical tape if need be. This was supposed to be just a glass replacement for my nephew's touch. I think with all the mistakes I've made and parts I've had to replace and tools I've had to get, I blub blub blub.... :0) If it wasn't for this site, I would never have attempted it. Thanks everyone who contributes.

Hi

I have a similar problem, except for me the red wire has broken off.

Can you tell me if the red wire attached to the top of the motherboard or the underside? If its the top, which of the two terminals does it go to?

thanks

David

Hornes, You can ask your own question and try to attach pictures of exactly what you are thinking off. Click on the link on the right side of this page "Ask a Question" and give as much detail as possible. Thanks and good Luck.
