Very good tutorial of the process needed to do this repair. Sadly the one that I was trying to repair had been dropped and the circuit board right where the charge pcb attaches was physically cracked. Did not find that problem until actually removing the original part and throughly inspecting the connect area. Thank You again for an excellent tutorial and dialogue.
Excellent tutorial regarding the disassembly of the Note II and replacement if the charge circuit board. Sadly the device i have had been dropped and the main circuit board where the charge PCB plugs into it was fractured. After removal of the original charge board through inspection noted the original problem was the cracked main PCB. :( Now I have a Note II with a good case and display but damaged main circuit board.
