Does the replacement requires any soldering or it just remove cracked and replace with new type of repair? Thanks!

No soldering involved with this item, the IC chip is already soldered to the connector.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Its internal.....this part will be the fix which I purchased but did not use. Once I took apart the laptop I easily soldered the square part that had broken connection on this board. I used enough solder so it wont happen again, and will keep this piece for backup. If you cant solder use this to fix it, it's plug and play. Also if you need a step by step just Google the laptop model with DC fix and you'll see how to take the laptop apart. Pretty easy.

There are screws on it and I imagine that it would pop right off if those screws were to be taken out. But I'm not intimately familiar with the device, so I'm not sure how user friendly replacing it would be assuming that it could be replaced. It may be easy as popping it off and throwing on a new one, or maybe there are delicate pieces within that would require somebody with more know how to make the replacement. I'm not really sure. I hope you find the answer you are looking for.

Yes, simple replacement. I cut one wire at a time them connected it to new unit. Or take a picture before u cut any wires.

It was a simple replacement, it does not come with instructions but it does need to be welded on.

Pull it apart, solder, put it together (check for breaks in 3.5mm cord...replace accordingly)

I have heard it was soldered. There must be information on the net about this

Yes, it does. I replaced my cracked one with this one. It took me all about ten minutes to do myself!

There a some good guides online to do this. I forgot it which one I used, but it took me about 35 minutes to do the whole process and I had never even soldered before.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

It looks like one but it's not. It's a clone. If you savvy with solder and not afraid to disassemble it then you should do it, clean it up, check hit conducting compound and reapply if necessary, re-solder whatever is bad soldered, then it's going to work OK. If you don't do it then it's 50/50.

FYI they received it, said they will not (not cannot) repair it and offered to replace. Even with a new unit the best they can do is a 30 day warranty!!!I just got the original unit back as I will have a go soldering it up myselfAfter all this hassle I dont recommend buying this when they cant even honour their own warranty

Yes you have to remove the broken one with a heat gun carefully an then apply the new one an it looks like nothing happened

Yes! You will need a soldering iron to install the new pickup and to remove the old one if this is a replacement.

No if the screen is cracked that means the LED is broken. So the replacement glass would do nothing for you.

Mine is cracked too. I suppose they sell the board but this will have to be direct with the manufacture, write them!
