Hi,

Well my samsung eternity started having issues last winter where it would just turn off and wouldn't turn back on frequently. And whenever I wanted to start it back I had to keep taking the battery out and putting it back in. The more I had to do this, the more time I had to keep taking it out and putting it back in to work again. So I asked customer service and they told me it was a static issue or something and I should take a brush. Well it didn't work so I had to be stuck with a prepaid phone since. Since I'm off of school I thought I try to fix it.

I think the three golden metal contact things in the phone is broken. For sure the third one is bent in weird. Do you guys know the terminology for that? Is it just part of the circuit and can I just replace that one part? Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.



Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer my questions. I just really hate this cheap prepaid I'm using.

Definitely bent out of shape, but I wouldn't say it's broken. Try bending it back like the others are. If that doesn't work, solder some extra copper on there to make a better contact.

Thank you Toast for replying,

Well I tried bending it back right with tweezers and it broke. I tried soldering some copper and it still didn't work. Is it expensive to buy another one of those and what is it called? I tried searching for parts to fix it, but I cannot find anything. Maybe because I'm not sure what that part is called.

So can someone please direct me to a place that sells this part or at least the name of it? And is it costly? (Under 50 bucks)

I have no idea where you could get one. Try looking for broken ones on ebay. Sometimes they go really cheap.
