Please people could you help me.
I damaged the ribbon on my 7650, so i got a new one and thought it would be a simple replacement, (boy was i wrong). I bought a ribbon that has silver tips (contacts) at the end that connects to the pcb (was told no soldering required) yet i'm baffuled on how to connect the ribbon to the pcb.
The silver tips part on the ribbon dosen't look like solder, because when i use the air gun it dosen't melt and the hotter i make the air gun the more the ribbon burn and turns black (dont wory not using the same ribbon)
tried using the tip of the soldering iron and placed it on the back of the ribbon but yet no luck.
Also tried applying some solder resin to the pcb the contacts, that attach to the ribbon and then tried to heat it on to the ribbon (but it melts and the contacts touch).
Please people need some advice, what do i do (i know the phone works beacuse when i hold the ribbon down in place with my fingers its switches on).
