I usually just create a jumper with soldering iron and it works.

@ Johnkustis, do you just basically bypass the coil all together? Is that not bad? Or do you just temporally bypass it to see if the coil is at fault?

Sounds like mine has gone too, any help would be awesome.

Thanks,

Chris.

Ok thanks for the replies. I'm gonna go ahead and change the coil.

Just a heads up now, Those people selling the replacement coils are robbing people blind.

Hey Chris sorry for a late reply did not see your post. It is perfectly fine, I personally do it all the time for my customers.

I just dabbed a small blob of conductive silver with a circuit pen across where the coil was and it works perfect now.

The answer to your questions, how to fix the blue inductor coil causing a signal problem, the solution is easy we have repaired many with a 100% success rate. If you look at the signal antenna which you plug the cable into, simply run a wire from the left side bridge it to the right side point on the blue coil and follow it all the way to the furthest (right) component on the top left side. This will act as a 'bypass route' and your signal will start to work again.

All it takes is a bit of micro-soldering knowledge and some 0.1mm wire and basing soldering equipment. This will fix your problem guaranteed, providing it was the missing blue coil that caused your signal issue in the first place.

Solution: If you don't have soldering equipment just like me, basically find a very small metal as small as the blue coil and stick it to a very small double sided adhesive and put it where the blue coil should be put. I did it and i got FUUUUULLL bars and the customer's phone was back to life. Good luck!

Until they drop it ---I hope you didn't charge them, this is really poor form for the repair industry. If you can't repair it, please just advise the customer to find a shop that can microsolder :(
