it should be noted that the memory card should always be taken out before separating the case. I just broke my memory card slot by having a card in there while I was opening the case, there's a tiny bit of overhang that will pull the slot off the motherboard.

bryandodson - Replica

does anyone know what firmware version the motherboard comes with?

riddochj - Replica

These are used Motherboards. You could get a motherboards with a random FW version.

Okay My original Motherboard power connector broke. So nothing was wrong with it except the Power connector.

My first buy of the Motherboard screen connector broke off.

The Replacement works well, however the Touch input isn't working, unless I restore the device. After a certain amount of time it becomes unresponsive.

Do anyone have a fix before I get a 3rd replacement.
