Need to replace the Connector on the main Board that connects the Home Key flex to it. But need the correct name for it so I can start the search. Can anyone help with that please. Someone may even know where I could get one or three ! (fingers crossed) This Connector is off a different Samsung but it is the exact same one as on the S3 I have managed to De-solder one using low heat and lots of time but in doing so can’t remove it without damaging the connector itself….. but the board is left with no damage at all …………………………………. little step ! On the Board the connector is bottom left of SWEP GRG28 antenna switch module (Thanks oldturkey3 & Jimfixer)

accmpmer, it would help if you can post an image of the connector that you are looking for with your question. Right now, and going by your description only, the connector should be Samsung part number 3711-007172 and is available at places like this as well as many others.
