Resurrect my Kaiser

it has been 6 months since my Kaiser down. i mean it is broken. the symptom that appeared there was blank white screen. very confusing, since i got no respond for every thing i did to it. finally, i just put it in my room shelf and do something else.. sourcing the net, i got a suggested solution to solve it, replace the flex cable. hmmm, where should i buy it here..? it is rare cellphone in Indonesia. i got a channel in Jakarta, but it is far away and the shop  had been close. phone number unavailable anymore.
then i am checking on eBay, that's where i found this Kasier flex cable.. but not sure to buy it since i dunno where/ how to fix it. then i just watched the item..

during the use-break time, i buy new cellphone, a Samsung galaxy core and use it daily for my communication.

finally last week, when i am browsing the net and open my ebay page, i got this reminder, that i am watching an item there i'd like to buy few months ago.. the flex cable. and it reminds me to my Kaiser, it was 10.pm but i insist to look at my shelf and found my lovely Kaiser :P.
so.. i put an order to buy 1 pcs flex cable and yesterday it arrives. it took a week for shipment.
and here.. i had got the flex cable. then i am confused how to replace it.. decided, i want to replace it my self... sourcing some info and i got this Kaiser service manual :) fortunately :D
then i know the tools that i need.. then i go to local hardware shop here and bought a tool set for electronic appliance repair. you can get the tool set like that on eBay here.

this afternoon, during work break. i start dissembled my kaiser and replace the flex cable, following the instruction at the service manual. and for 2 hours, i could finished it. and just then i realized that i missed to install other 3 bolts and it front VGA camera :(( my wife laughed at me cos of this.. :D
but the phone booted like charm, and run the TNT WM6.1 ROM Pro, that i installed last time before it died.
now i am using my Kaiser again and give the Samsung cellphone to my wife..

so.. since i have known that Kaiser has problem with its flex cable, just now i order 2 other more of flex cables from ebay for spare next time (seller: elife-tribe)--- recommended seller :)
and also an additional back up battery, 2800 mAh power capacity + back cover. this one is doubled cap than it original battery, thats why it has bulging back cover :D
hope to arrive soon :)
