Some cellphones (SonyEricsson for sure) use a power/earset/USB connector
that has no pins or sockets; just a row of little flat gold squares.

The one on my phone has developed an intermittent connection to the
circuit board it plugs onto (inside the phone).

Does anyone know of a source for the things (I mean, where I can order
ONE, not a million)?

Hmm; aren't you the one who said, in a thread up yonder, "I doubt any
are made to be repaired these days" in reference to cellphones?

I don't recall saying something like that. But in any case, the fact
that a thing is not *made* to be repaired does not mean that it
*cannot* be repaired, or that individuals should never try to repair it.

(However, if you want to try to repair yours anyway, that seems
admirable to me. More power to you, so to speak.)

Thanks. But what I really need is one of those connectors. Any idea
where I can get one?
