So I goofed - Antenna contacts

[Zomiaen]

I bought a cheap Inspire 4G right? Missing the back cover with the antenna, ordered a new one...but I got impatient.

So I jerry-rigged an attachment to the gold metal contacts for the antenna on the actual board. Except it turns out those are a hell of a lot more fragile (or I was a hell of a lot more abusive) than I realized, and now they're broken off.

So - my question mostly, if I disassemble it, I'm assuming these were surface mount soldered, but I also noticed a small wire... is this fixable, or should I just purchase a whole new mobo for it (or use it as a handy mini wifi tablet from now on?)

I'm not sure if that part of the assembly is repairable.

You could try asking the OP here. http://androidforums.com/inspire-4g...30311-htc-inspire-4g-screen-repair-guide.html I have a similar issue with the antenna, but I gave up trying to repair the unit, as it will no longer be used.
