Connector replacement?

Bought an MSI G4Ti4200-VTP8X and it was missing the tv-out/video-in 1-to-4 connector... I don't want to return it as I already got rid of my old Radeon8500 and dont have another board to use... is there anywhere I could pick up a replacement connector?

Battery not charging after dock connector replacement, iPhone4

Hi all,
My iPhone4 suffered mild water damage (water damage indicator not triggered) and misbehaved on that day. So I turned off the device and put it in a bag of rice for almost a month. When I eventually took it out, it was almost as good as before except for some weird quirks. One of them is the audio control. I can listen to music using headphone jack, but cannot listen through speakers. I see some corrosion on my dock charger. I am still able to connect to iTunes and charge using cables. I know my speakers works as I am able to hear the phone ring. However increasing and decreasing volume shows only the ringer icon with no bars underneath. Upon searching online I found out (in another thread on this website) that the phone could believe it is connected to some kind of docking device. I tried cleaning the dock using a brush, but no use.
So I took some time and replaced the dock connector. After I finished re-assembly and turned on my phone, I noticed that my audio issue is resolved. I am now able to adjust volume using the buttons and can see the volume level (bars) go up or down. Also I can listen to the music from the speakers. However it is not syncing/charging.
Logically this can mean two likely issues (1) I have a faulty dock connector (2) I messed up my battery during disassembly (The battery flex connector was too tight and while I was removing it with the plastic spudger, it popped up suddenly and caused my spudger to go in a tad too far. My flex cable did not rip off and I didnt see any broken pieces, so I assumed nothing bad happened, but I am not sure).
If my dock connector is faulty, then my audio problem should not have been resolved correct? Because the logic board would not know that I have a new clean dock connector installed. This is what I am assuming, I am not sure. If some one could clarify this assumption, that would be great.
Of course this leads me to believe that I messed up my battery. I don't have a spare battery to try out, need to buy one.
Meanwhile I have a spare dock connector to try out. I am not sure if that is going to help. I am hoping someone in this community and say that it is obviously one problem or the other. If not, I will go through the dock connector replacement again and hope it all works out.
Also does anyone know if I can just plug in the new dock connector to the logic board and try syncing (of course with the battery connected) while my phone is still open (and the other components have not been removed)? This would seem like a nice quick test prior to going through the full repair. I am not sure if this is safe.
Thank you very much

iPhones are not user servicable. Apple does NOT sell iPhone parts. Any parts you can possibly get for them have one of three possiblie origins:
1) Counterfeit
2) Stolen
or
3) salvaged from other iPhones, almost always phones that don't work for one reason or another.
We can't advise you on how to fix your phone.
Apple won't touch that phone any more.
Either look for advice someplace like ifixit.com, find a competent repair shop, or dispose of it and buy a new phone.
EVERY single documented case of an iPhone catching fire or exploding can be traced directly to damage caused by a botched repair by an unqualified person.
Is it safe? No. Your phone is not safe. It will never be "safe" again.

Ipad mini lightning connector- replacement under warranty?

my lightning connector suddenly heated up and later i discover it wasnt charging my ipad mini already.
When i looked on the lightning connector tip, it is slightly bent
COuld i ask for a replacement for this one, my warranty is still valid.

All accessories are covered within the warranty of the device

Power cord connector replacement

The plug on theright rear (Looking at front of printer) of my HP 6480 deskjet printer has become loose and I cannot get power into the printer. How do I find schematics that will guide me in disassembling the printer and in replacing this connector??

Ok, I'm sorry my link is no good to your situation, but you said that the laptop is less than 6 months old so it shouldn't be an issue. You'll likely need a new AC adapter as well as a new system board. Here is a link to contact HP:

I need the Lotes (or HP) PCI-e edge connector part number to replace it on a H8-1360t

The PCI-e graphics processor in my H8-1360t was pulled without releasing the tab on the edge connector first. As a result, the plastic connector pulled free of the fingers. The PC is long out of warranty and this would not be covered by warranty anyway.
This leaves the PC inoperable as the plastic housing cannot be pushed back on to the fingers. So the motherboard will have to be removed and the PCI-e edge connector replaced.
The connector is made by Lotes, but has no part number on it. I need a part number in order to obtain a replacement. As far as I know, there is no part-specific tech manual for the motherboard that I could refer to for this information. It would have to come from someone at HP.
Help.
This question was solved.

Ipod Touch 4g dock connector pins bent

Hello, my daughter's Ipod Touch 4g will no longer charge and taking a close look at it, a few of the pins in the dock connector are bent. Does Apple repair these? Because I am having a hard time finding a repair place in town

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask. The Genius may be able to bend then back. The Genius may also replace your iPod at no cost or charg you the following for a replacement.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Typically, the store ill only change out your battery. Ohter repair are exchanges.
You can also contact this place. I do not see dock connector replacement but you can ask them.

Iphone 4s not recognized after ipod connected

I connected an ipod to itunes. Then I tried to connect my iphone 4s and my iphone is no longer recognized by itunes. I have tried rebooting my iphone - - deleting and reinstalling itunes, but nothing works.

Can anyone please help? This community is not like it used to be...
The worst part is, I cannot even do a restore since the device does not show in windows at all. I have even tried another computer and it is not showing up. At the very least, can someone tell me if they believe this is iPhone hardware related or iPhone software related?
As I said, the iPhone was syncing just fine after the dock connector replacement. It was only after updating from ios 7.0 to 7.1 that the problem arose.
Please any little bit of feedback is helpful.

I got a new iphone and the apps won't sync.

The message I receive when I try to link the apps via itunes on my iphone is: "Application was not installed on the iPhone because you are not authorized for it on this computer".
I recently had my iphone replaced and had the Main logic board, top case and connector replaced on my MacBook Pro.
Any insights?

IPhone 3g 16gb recovery/restore loop

2 recent iPhone 4s working ok since day 1. I (Dad) inherit 2yr old (out of warranty) iPhone 3g 16gb. Recently the phone went into the WSOD, Apple Logo, Recovery, Restore loop (was connected to car audio). Phone has not had any other problems since day one. Not jailbroken or unlocked. Rogers sim inside no longer active (iPod & Wifi usage).
Research week & tried every suggestion to do a phone restore/upgrade in order to get it out of the "Recovery Mode" loop (3 hours per day x 7).
Here is my list:
Full Battery - charges ok
Firewall - turned off
Disabled AV
Reinstall iTunes (recent & old)
# software suggestions to Enter & Exit Loop
Different PC - 5, USB ports, direct, USB Cables (Apple old & new)
Different modes - DFU, Emergency
Nothing else running on PC
PC makes noise when connects & disconnects
"Dock Connector" replaced - error 9 suggestion - no difference (old dock ok)
PC recognizes iPhone - assume usb drivers ok - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) USB Driver - no errors
During the restore process, consistently error 9 s out within seconds of (Apple Logo above empty bar) "Waiting for iPhone"
Suggestions & Help is always appreciated, perhaps this list will help someone else with the similar journey. Hard not to think that this is a software/firmware issue (But then always careful with sure bet advice!).

Tx x 2 I did read the information from Apple that you just posted. Note in my original post I do discuss trying all these combinations and permutations w.r.t. USB isolation/variation (only thing I have not tried is an OS other than Win 7 (XP or Vista) or via a MAC) - even having the dock connector replaced.
I have not gone to the Apple Store (and have no intent on doing so) and yes it is possible the phone is defective - would boil down to the logic board imho. The phone is out of warranty (again as stated above 2+ years old). This translates into swapping the device or paying for consulting time - given the resale market does not make economic sense imho.
The original intent of posting in this forum is that I have the sense a number of hardware ok iPhones (perhaps including mine) appear to be having firmware/software issues - reproduceable error 9 - the device connects and disconnects from the pc up until the "Waiting for iPhone"

IPhone 5 battery drains very quickly

I've had an iPhone 5 for about a year and a half and it all of a sudden started draining really quickly. Without using it outside of a few texts, it is at 50% by noon. With use, it easily completely drained by then. Also, I have noticed a few odd things regarding charging my phone: I receive a "this accessory is not meant for this device and may not charge" error and when plugged into my car charger, it alternates between charging and not charging rapidly, just making the battery drain even faster. I replaced the car charger, and no longer have this problem, but recently had the same problem when trying a new external portable charging source. I've stopped using the particular cord that gave me the error, and think this has solved the problem. Just mentioning both these issues as I've never had problems with them before.
Here are the things I've tried to fix the problem:
Tested battery at Apple. First time was deemed okay, the next week they said it was borderline failing (80%).
Replaced the battery by buying a battery online ($25, and relatively well rated). Continued to see problems.
Updated settings (remove location services, switch off bluetooth and wifi, turn off push for all email accounts, you name it I've tried it). Although I tried these things, I did have a phone with all these settings turned on for a year and a half and still had a battery that would last me through the day, so I don't think settings alone are the problem.
Restored phone to factory settings (not to previous iphone back up). This was to address any software bugs that could be causing the problem.
Replaced battery with a second battery bought online (bought the highest rated battery I could find).
Took phone into iPhone repair store. They looked at the inside of the phone and said it looked good. Replaced battery again.
After all of this, my battery still drains super quickly. I do not think it the battery since I've replaced it three times and don't think it is the software since I did a restore to factory settings.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I've tried everything I could think of and need to squeeze another 5 months out of this phone until I'm eligible for the upgrade. Right now I have an external battery pack, but this is a bit of a pain to charge and carry around.
A friend of a friend has had some similar issues and they said they had the lightning connector replaced, and it solved the problem. Anyone have any experience with this?
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been round and round with Apple "geniuses" trying to resolve battery drainage issues. I have turned off all kinds of background programs, reset the phone and even did a full restore. Nothing worked. The end result was an Apple senior technician just giving up and telling me that the battery life I'm getting is "good." I don't see how that's the case since I used to go to work, use my phone and come home with battery power still in the 70s or 60s if I was really active. Now with most everything turned off, I come home with battery power in the 30s and sometimes even the 20s, just barely hanging on to operational status. I now have to carry my charger around with me and charge this hunk of junk every opportunity I get. The diagnostic on the battery shows it to be fine which is not surprising considering I take very good care of my phone. I had no issues until installing that battery sucking virus known as iOS 8.1. I am so utterly disappointed with Apple that I will never buy any of their junk products again. I am especially angry at being told that the life I'm getting is somehow "good." I imagine that no one actually tested iOS 8.1 before rolling it out. They finished the last line of code and immediately issued it to the public. My interactions with Apple Support confirm that they only care about people who have purchased their latest product. Have an iPhone 5? Too bad! You need to get the iPhone 6 to continue enjoying your Apple experience. Screw their overpriced crap.

New charging port not working

I recently have been having problems with my iPhone 5 charging port. I bought a replacement off amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-Headphone-Charging-Connector-Replacement/dp/B00E Y9RMTU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407765309&sr=8-1&keywords=iphone+5+charging+port ) and followed a video guide to replace it. Now that it is in, the speaker, home button, charging port and microphone aren't working. Could this be a problem with the replacement part or a problem with how i have installed it?
Thanks

Probably a problem with the install, Iphones are not meant to be user serviceable, and it voids all future support from Apple.
and unfortunately, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Sorry, Good luck.

Older versions

Does anyone know where I can get an older version of itunes? I had a 30 gig video ipod and upgraded to the ipod touch recently and now neither will play in my car with the ipod connector. They guys at best buy say I need an older version of itunes. Thanks in advance for your help...

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iTunes is a software that manages the syncing of content for the iPod you are connecting to the computer.
iTunes does offer iPod Software updates which will add new and improved features to the iPod product.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatis/

You want to ensure your iPod connector is compatible with the iPod Touch model you have. You may wish to also try it in another car or get the iPod connector replaced if it is still under warranty.

IPhoto won't recognize iPhones when connected

I have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my iMac, and all of a sudden it has stopped recognizing our iPhones when we plug them in. (Have tried three different cables on each of two iPhones - iTunes recognizes them, but iPhoto doesn't.)
Is it failing all of a sudden because it needs an update? I clicked on the button to learn more about iLife 11 from "check for updates" in the menu, but the page it links to says "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found." I can't seem to find any other way to update the iPhoto software, and the only way I can figure out to upload my current photos and videos is by e-mailing them to myself from the phone and importing them to iPhoto. There has to be a simpler solution, right?
Additionally, every time I quit iPhoto and restart it with no phone connected, it shows my iPhone under the devices, as if it is connected, with photos and videos waiting to be uploaded (that didn't upload during its last connection because it told me there were errors in the files??), and it is unable to get past that. Once I click to unmount, I can't get either phone to show back up in the device list. (When I connect my digital camera, it still shows up properly in the device list.)
Finally, I recently had my phone's dock connector replaced, so I thought that might have had something to do with it, but it is responding the same way to my phone and my husband's phone, which still has its original connector.
Thank you!

MISSING VOLUME SLIDER BAR SOLVED!!!

I have found the culprit! It has taken me a very long time to figure it out what it was but it has finally been found. The volume slider disappears when playing music or watching videos but otherwise works.
The problem is the 32pin connector. If you don't believe me take your phone and place a hard plastic card of some sort (creditcard, school I.D) and place it underneath the 32pin connector. Look at your volume slider and it should appear! You must get your 32pin connector replaced.

I wouldn't go as fr as getting a new iPod yet. Take it into a genius bar and see what they say. I got my old iPod nano that got sent through the wash replaced for around $50. I don't promise anything.

Connector replacement?
