Spare parts?

Does anyone know a place to get spare parts for the XDA II (not likely) or does someone have a broken XDA II they are selling parts off of?
I somehow managed to crack part of the casing of my I-mate around my power switch. Well tonight it finally broke off and I am devistated. (ok well.. pretty upset at least)
If anyone has a spare... I am looking for a replacement black piece (antenna cover) of the casing. Would pay generously for one.

I'm looking for a spare casing...
Last friday I dropped my MDA2 and the case now has a small dent near the Bluetooth LED and a small scratch on the opposite corner and I want to replace it as soon as possible!
Anybody knows where to get replacements?
Is the case metal or plastic?
Thanks in advance...

I may have XDA 2 Spares!
I am currently battling to get my XDA 2 repaired under warranty by o2 in the UK..
If i lose: I will have an xda 2 worth of parts (minus the mainboard) less than six months old immaculate apart from the board and its connector.
so case is scratch free, screens perfect etc...
Failing that if anyone has an busted xda 2 with a working mainboard please mail me...

parts
Matt,
How did you get on with O2, I'm looking to get all the parts except the main board as I've got one of them.
Cheers

I lost! No repair, no warranty, 6 weeks and no service!
I have come up with another solution for my broken xda connector.
The device still functions but i cant connect to my laptop/docking station, so im going to buy a bluetooth card and spare batt, keep the spare batt on charge using the docking station and use bluetooth to sync with laptop...
spare batt = £15
bluetooth card = £20
my total = 35
O2's = £185 a mear £20 cheaper than a brand new XDAII !!!
AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME £17.50 to send the bloody thing back without having lifted a finger to repair the device! Until i went ballistic in the store in front of a dozen customers, and i do mean ballistic a bit digruntled wont work you have to loose it in front of as many customers as possible to force them to back down and return your property.
I will never buy new from O2 again, and as soon as the contract hits 12 months they are history bollox to them. The warranty is not worth the paper its written on, the shop service is less than i would expect from cowboys r us, save yourselves time and pain buy second hand theres still no warranty but its cheaper by far..
p.s. for those who are bound to ask, No mention of any charges including postage are/were made at the point of handing my phone over or at any time until 17.50 was demanded for its return.

@ Matt Ryan
my XDA 2 connector snapped from the pbc
ill tell you how to fix.....
get hold of an ipaq 38xx or 39xx, SPV 1, or spv2 or xda 1 or xda2 board and desolder the connector off and put a new one on
i got hold of a spv1 for less then £30 and ive stripped the board and sending it to my mate who deals in small eloctronics reapir hes charging me £15 to hot air rework the connector off the spv and put it onto the XDA2 pbc
meaning all repaired and stronger then before
gaz

did you not sign an a-novo repair sheet. It states clearly on the reverse side of this that is your device is beyond economical repair, or if you refuse a quote, you will be charge £17.50.

nope i didnt sign a-novo contract/ job sheet
I took the phone to an o2 shop and signed THIER repair sheet, nothing on reverse nothing refering to charge for returning device if not repaired
Nothing anywhere, nada...

Free delivery offer for docks from Easy Devices to XDA members

I mentioned in another thread that Easy Devices have docks on pre-order for the Desire, the only place I have so far found any - with or without a second battery slot and with or without an additional battery, including an enhanced one with new back. Look at my previous post for the links to the four types.
I placed an order myself for a dock with the bay for the second battery.
Easy Devices picked up on my post and have asked me to pass on a free delivery offer.
"We have decided to offer free delivery on all orders of the Desire Cradle with 2nd battery slot or cradle bundles placed from XDA Developers forum members for orders placed with us before 23rd of April. Could you post and advise the forum? We have amended your order with free delivery and will ship goods as soon as stock arrives. We have been advised that stock should be with us at the end of this month.
Can you ask them to either e-mail [email protected] with their order number and say that they came from XDA developers or to post in the comments box when placing the order."
Any questions about the offer should be made to Easy Devices.
I'm not sure all options are on the same timetable so you may want to check with them first if you are going for a different option.
Just to emphasise I have no connection with Easy Devices, other than as a customer, but it is always nice when sellers offer a special deal to XDA members.

Very nice and generous offer of them, though I do prefer to only other when things are either in stock, or a firm delivery date is known...

Anyone bought from these?
http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=//_AD_HTC_Desire_USB_Cradle&cat=627
Messaged them, asked if this dock was suitable they replied saying yes it was micro usb or w.e.
but then i read on ciao that they never send items out!

u might want to pm "hasanybodyseenjc", he says he works for morpeth mobiles...well he just joined tho and only got 1 post lol......
just try and see if you any reply

I've bought a few things from Morpeth Mobiles in the past through eBay. If I remember right the contact was Chris (might be wrong there!)
It was years ago, but they were fine each time I used them, with quick and well priced delivery.
Hopefully they are still the same several years on

Oh yeah, I don't work for them and I am a bit of a veteran here. I hope that makes my comments more valid

My guess from the photo is that they have the same supplier as Easy Devices, where it is cheaper and post free. Haven't read the reviews on Morpeth myself, but if they have a bad reputation, then I would avoid them.

I've bought a few things from them for myself & for my work.
We had an issue with 2 cheap Nokia chargers ( we bought the really cheap ones ) and they replaced both with decent nokia branded one.
Very helpful.

Pre-ordered from Easy Devices and hopefully will get free P&P

I wonder if phones with a skin will still fit in the dock? (looks quite snug) or phones withan extended back for larger battery too?

I think the photo cannot be taken too literally as I doubt the final manufacture has been made. I am hoping that the Barely There case, mentioned in another thread, will fit in the dock. I hope Casemate agree to make it, in which case I will order one.

[Q] Is it safe to buy this battery?

Im thinking of buying this battery, it says oem but is it safe?
Anyone can help
h**p://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-1500mAh-Li-ion-BATTERY-Samsung-i9000-Galaxy-S-/150478327638?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2309350f56#ht_943wt_905

well it will be safe, wont be as good as an original samsung battery,, but it will do the job if your on the go.

They are safe. I have purchased a couple & have had no problems with charging in the phone & with a charger, but you won't get the same amount of power out of them as you would with a genuine Samsung battery. OEM seems to cover a multitude of sins, especially from China. I think they are more likely to be about 1100mAh. But for the price they are ok.

thanks for your answers,
edit : so they wont explode then, good to know

no they wont explode... lol
if they did then the US army are wasting millions
they should just buy a load of these in bulk lol

Why not just buy from Amazon or one of the online Tech shops? Price is not much different and quality is assured. If things go wrong you have easy ways to deal with it.

Sorry for my noobness im not very familiar with the amazon system, does it allow paypall payment?
Also can you post a link to the battery you are refering
thanks

you can also but batteries direct from samsung for 29-39 depending on site and when.. i have a few.. pricy but you are guaranteed to get geniune batteries and they always have worked better for me than any ebay knock offs (even the ones that look genuine but i am sure are not)

Just go to www.Amazon.com or www.Amazon.co.uk if you are UK based or whichever your local Amazon is then type in Galaxy S battery as a search.

[Q] Best place to buy jigs?

Okay, I've done it. I've got my phone so messed up that I need a jig.
I'm just weary of all the eBay posts and Chinese websites.
If you've bought one, I want to hear from you.
Where did you buy it from?
How much did you pay?
What should I look out for?
Thanks in advanced,
- Nate

LOL, not a big deal. I bought mine of eBay for $5 (or so). ALWAYS comes in handy....
It's only a male microUSB dongle with a couple of resistors soldered up to it
and that's all. Nothing to really watch-out for. I buy loads of stuff online (eBay)
i can always trust my money with PayPal:good::laugh:
Good Luck....

Making your own isn't too hard, I've made my own since I only needed it once.

For those who don't have any solderings skills and are lazzy (<like me). Spend a couple of bucks on a handy tool you can count on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

$1 buck and some change. Any ebay seller. It may take a few wks from overseas.
it doesn't have to be Infuse specific...any samsung galaxy device
