My guess is loose connection somewhere. The microphone should be located near the three hard buttons on the bottom of the phone. It looks like this

Cool tutorial. Pics are kinda too small to make out any details, though.

**Sanch0** · 08-17-2009, 01:40 PM

My later tutorial on the EnV2 I made the pics bigger. I was trying to conserve space on the forum. I included written descriptions just incase the pictures aren't enough.

Hi Sancho:

I appreciate the post, I only wish I had found it before replacing my LCD. While doing so, it seems that I busted the black latching piece for the ribbon cable form the touch screen. With this piece being busted and no way to latch it down. What can I do? I just need to somehow reattached it, and thinking it can't be soldered?

You might be SOL. Worse case scenario, you order another touch screen digitizer and attach it. I guess my suggestion would be to get creative. The cable should slide right into that connector. Maybe super glue or some sort of clip to hold the pieces together. I wouldn't recommend tape because it could come lose and you'll have to take your phone apart to get it working again.

Hi Sancho,

I got a replacement LCD for my voyager and took my phone apart as your instructions. But I do not know how speakers, ear piece and so on are to be reconnected. I see the soldered ports on the replacement part but how can I reconnect these cables? Also when I removed the rebbon cable, the black piece came off. Would this be a problem? Thanks for the help.

Speakers, ear piece, and microphone are connected by wires. You need to solder those on. I can't help you here as soldering is a patient skill. You can still reattach the cable without the black piece, just be careful.

Excuse my ignorance but am I correct in assuming that the Lg Voyager's internal memory is in the metal and plastic circuit board that attaches to the keyboard? Each of my daughters have this phone. One of them has a broken LCD screen and the other has a broken hinge in phone's the flip open/close mechanism. I took apart the phone with the broken LCD screen using your tutorial and purchased a used Lg Voyager from eBay that is in better shape than either of my daughter's phones. My plan is to exchange the memory board/keyboard of the eBay phone with the memory board/keyboard from the phone with the broken LCD screen and then use the frame with the good hinges from phone with the broken LCD screen to fix my other daughter's phone. Does that sound reasonable?

Yes, sounds very reasonable. Just take the mainboard (memory as you call it) from your
daughters phone out and exchange it (install it) into the eBay phone. That will make the
eBay phone your daughters phone. Don't forget to switch the labels that are located under
the battery too. These contain the phones' ESN and serial numbers that are "burned in" to
each main board.

Also good idea using the hinge/frame from your daughters old phone for your other daughters
phone with the broken piece. Got to love it hen you can fix 2 phones by using one. By the way,
I did something very similar with my daughters phone too.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, tyedye, for your response. I went ahead and made the switch of the main board (and a few other bits and pieces) from my daughter's LCD broken Lg Voyager with the main board of a phone I purchased on e-bay and it works great. Kind of like Frankenphone with the brains and parts of one phone and the body of another. I am still a little confused about your recommendation you made to "don't forget to switch the labels that are located under the battery too. These contain the phones' ESN and serial numbers that are 'burned in' to each main board." Since this label is attached to the metal backing of the main board, it got switched along with my daughter's phone's main board into the e-bay phone. Isn't it more appropriate for that number to stay with the main board/memory/brains of the phone?

Thanks again,
Dr. Frankenphone

I think you are misunderstanding me. Not the label on the actual mainboard, but the label under the battery that is stuck to the casing. This is the label that you see when you remove the battery.

I don't want to take apart the whole phone, I just need to replace the microphone. I bought the part and thought it would be an easy fix. Can you tell me where the microphone is located and what I need to dissemble?

**inamaste** · 08-27-2011, 12:40 AM

So i have two of these phones. the first one that is cherry fell in to my bath tub. i saved it fast and dried it and put it in a bag of rice. it's works just fine and still looks great but they never could switch the service back on to it. they said the internal antenna was toast

i love this phone so i got a beat up used one for free. but i was too chicken to try and fix it so i just used the beat up one i had gotten. well now that one is TOAST and it's going to quit any second. i need to put the antenna from the beat up one in to my cherry bath tub one. what does the antenna look like and where might that be located? is it a half way easy fix? THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD!!!!! wish i had found it a year ago when this happened

please god some one answer

the situation is desperate! thank you

Thanks so much for this. I had one of these for quite a while - I refuse to upgrade and take a full-on data pack for now...(I know, right?). Anyway mine fell into water. Dried out well with full functionality except no sound (even with headphones/earpiece/bluetooth). So I got a replacement...an upgrade (Titanium). Beautiful to look at and cheap as everyone in the universe has gone DROID/iphone/blackberry die-hards now except me! Well the phone sent was bad, so after numerous exchanges (4), I finally got one that worked in every capacity except the LEDs for the QWERTY keyboard (Backlighting) are either bad or not connecting. My old black voyager's QWERTY keyboard/LEDs are fine. I want to swap them out. What do I need to do as your tutorial swaps out the screen... I need the LEDs for the keyboard swapped out. If you can help me out....I sure would appreciate it. Thanks so much (This one is THE only tutorial I could find (after all this time!!) You ROCK!
