IPhone 3g broken motherboard no service - GSM-Forum

Farntet · 11-03-2009, 19:24

Hello- I was trying to find a solution all over, and it looked like i had the best bet asking this forum. So I made the classic attempt at opening my iphone 3g 8g and didnt use a suction cup like i was supposed to and forced the iphone apart. In the process I managed to pull on the motherboard where the "do not remove" sticker was and it bent the area where the antennae attached. There is an obvious break in the run where the gold plated antennae receiver follows to , and i was wondering if there was a way to go about fixing this...? I was thinking if there was a schematic that let me know which pins were used and i could create a bridge and solder to each of them. I enclosed some pics to show. Everything works fine on the phone itself, just no service. I get wifi and all the programs work .
Thanks for any help!!

Well its not letting me upload right now but these are the links to the pics-
