Hi All
Does anyone know where i can get nexus one parts. I am looking for the logic board where the camera is as i broke my volume cable because i opened it to clean the dust under the glass.
I do not mind buying a broken nexus one so that i can take the logic board to replace my one because the volume key not working really annoys me.
Any help is really appreciated and thanks all in advance

why did you do that? did you root your phone?
Yes, it was rooted and am all the way in UK and cannot deal with taking it back to them and them putting hold on my account, that's just too long for me.
I know in a couple of months there will be parts for it, so in the mean time am back to my HTC Magic with no root as i mistakenly installed the new 3.03 sense and no one has managed to root that build but. If you know any how i can get it rooted do let me know as i do not mind using it till parts come out for the N1.
What kind of expensive phone like the Nexus gets dust under it man. Google and HTC needs to fix up.

i have 2 spare xda 11 one is blocked and the other the screen is bugged up.
i want to change the screens so at least i have one phone working how do i fix or undo screen parts thanku someone please help dont want to buy another screen when i have 2 the same
Yo dude, the best thing to do would be to take the screen from the phone thats blocked n(coz no matter what, you'll never be able to use that phone anyway!!) and fix it into the one with the broken screen. If you do a search here, there are guides to taking apart an XDA II, and as long as you haven't got 10 thumbs, it should be fairly easy to do!!!
I've done this myself so I know it works, but the only thing you need to be wary of is there are two models of screen, just hope that both phones have the same model installed otherwise It could get a little more complicated!!

Replacing the screen
I am in a similar situation, I have an XDA2 with a broken screen and another one with a damaged bottom connector. I pulled them both apart to put the good screen into the one with a good mother board but to me the screen connector (the one that plug into the mother board) they look different. Just wondering if anybody has come across this. Cheers, Guito
Hey everyone,
I recently bought my HOX at my local AT&T store about a month ago and managed to drop within the first 2 weeks I had it, and break both the glass and LCD. I went on ebay and bought both the LCD and glass together and installed it on my phone with no luck. Screen is totally black with no response. Everthing else works flawlessly, vibrator, capacitive buttons, and speaker. The aftermarket LCD screen's cable was straight so I had to make a fold in it like the original cable was. I worry that that might be what the problem is, though I highly doubt it. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some advice on what I should do at this point. Return the LCD and glass or try something else. Thanks

Welcome, search the forum. Long story short, call HTC and have them fix it for ~$220
If you signed a contract when you bought the phone and are still within 30 days, I would just have AT&T add insurance to your line and make a claim for it.

Thanks for the quick responses, looks like im gonna have to bite the bullet and pay the $220 bucks. AT&T has terrible customer service and they had no interest in helping me.
still not fixed
Hello again,
I recently bought another replacement LCD and digitizer. Installed it in the phone still with no luck. Everything except the screen works perfectly. All the connectors and motherboard look perfect. I have called HTC and there have some of the worst tech support that I have ever experienced. Please respond...im running out of ideas.

no :-/
Try both the old one and the new one without placing it into the housing...
The problem you will face most is with the LCD strip which has to be inserted fully in the slot..
Which is very difficult to do so and needs lots of time on it...
see some Replacement videos on Youtube. It do show you step by step guide on replacing the LCD..
Just place the battery and all the connectors and try powering it on b4 inserting it into the housing..

The old LCD isn`t working anymore. The LCD Connection is fully inserted. First time i started the device with the new LCD, everything was working well. A few seconds later i got the blackscreen.

May be its an Hardware issue...
Try plugging in the display alone not the digitizer cable..
Give a try..

Did he pretty much fry the whole thing?
No, he's getting it to boot I believe just no screen..
Try plugging into the pc and make sure it's being recognized.

Yeah i think the new LCD is broken. With a flashlight i can see Android on the screen
So i think the backlight is broken. So i will repair the phone with a new Display and Digitizer Unit. Right?
I tried the same thing, but mine was just the glass. Forget about trying to separate LCD from glass, really you are not that skilled (any of you!). anyway, It was about 45 days after receiving my HOX and I called ATT and just told them what happened and that my phone was in 1000 pieces, said I now have a contract and no phone (though I was much more miserable and depressed sounding at the time). She said "no problem, I will just toss out this old contract and we will start from scratch" It cost me another $99 but they sent me a brand new phone. I was shocked. First time a carrier ever made me smile (other than running LTE Speed Tests)

i don't know i can't speak
so i recently purchased a used doubleshot to give to my fiance, her biggest deal about a phone seems to be the camera and her g2 just isnt cutting it. well im cheap and handy so i buy all my phones broken and just fix them.
i found this almost mint doubleshot for about $50 with the only problem being the internal speaker is shot. so this is should be a hardware fault most likely but to be safe i rooted it and gained radio s-off and flashed a few roms. definitely hardware. so i bought a speaker for $7 (should be here by weeks end) and looking around i see the main flex being sold with the internal speaker attached. this got me wondering if the speaker simply sits against the contact points (my experience on well every phone ive disassembled) or is it soldered or what?
i dont mind doing the extra effort but google has not explained to me what i should expect. i even called htc and of course got the id love to help but i just cant response. so if anyone has experience with this or can point me to a full breakdown (not just digitizer replacement as it skips this) i would be forever grateful. thanks!
Here is a guide to help aid you in the taking apart of a doubleshot.. I'm not sure what help it is, but this is all I can personally help you with as I haven't any experience with this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586028

Send a message to jjbz. I traded my bricked DS for a working one with him and he said he's going to use my old one for parts.

The internal speaker is soldered down to the ribbon cable. If you are going to attempt to replace it yourself be vary careful of the light and proximity sensors. I fried the proximity sensor when I attempted to solder in a new speaker. After a month of dealing with the missing proximity sensor, I went with a new ribbon cable.
hello all looked every where seen similar ? but know answers any where .....have mt4gs that wont turn on just vibrates once was having problems with screen stuff looked distorted rainbow colored or screen not responding would have play with phone like slide keyboard in and out to get working again .....couldnt get to work pulled out battery put back in wouldnt start up.......same thing happen to the one before that similar prob still have it does same thing vibrates once........from what i gather from other posts is it might be flex cable have it apart flex cable looks fine ...would i be able to see if flex cable is messed up......... could it just be something came loose.......these are both factory oem no mods ...
If it's still under any kind of warranty I'd send it back with a note to quit returning the same phone to you. If you CAN send it, put a small indelible mark under the battery so you can check. If it's NOT covered you could theoretically fix it yourself if you're "electronics repair" inclined but it's not for the faint of heart....i.e., not easy.
If they try to SELL you another, you can get them on Ebay for half of what they'll try to sell you one for. For what they'll try to sell you one for, you can buy a Nexus 4 from google that's unlocked.....with enough change to take your GF out for a nice meal. A REALLY nice meal.
no warranty , not new to electronic repair or modding ....have two of these phone dont want to throw them out ..especially if it only needs and 18 dollar flex cable ...which would be cheaper than buying any used phone....... trying to find some info first so i dont waste money on flex cable for no reason ...ps phone is totally apart..........i think phone is turning on but nothing happens with screen and screen was buuging out when stopped working both times on both phones ..... any ideas thanx
Look at all the videos first.....

I just rebuilt my Slide (bought a new one that had a bad M/B on eBay for $65)--I tried to replace the digitizer & ended up breaking the LCD screen...The flex cable is between the LCD & the screen back mount....so it's not the easiest job.......Do yourself a favor & check out all the video on youtube first.
not a problem ..phones apart ...got skillz..... just looking for info ....i can take apart and put back together just about anything thats not the problem.ive done digi's ,broken screens,flex cables, power and volume buttons............ ive heard of this problem before just want to make sure i have the right solution ...so i dont buy the wrong part thank you
ps ...please no more posts about how hard it is.....
He does have a point, this phone is a pain in the ass compared to most, I too have disassembled many phones used to have a side business repair phones, and this was is possibly the biggest pain when it comes to how much sticky is used.
Anyway yeah it sounds like the main flex cable and that's where I would start.

So end result fixed first one....installed new main flex cable.....and tested it powered up and works fine just have to go back and screw her all together...was pain in the ass at the point where you need to separate lcd from slide housing but well worth will do another one tomorrow ....always first ones a ***** but not as hard as made to seem ......if any one needs help get at me will give pointers. will update again tomorrow
if any one has mt4gs and vibrates once and screen does not turn on its good bet its the main flex cable

There are multiple screen options for this phone, they all fit but aren't interchangeable, make sure your new one is made by the same company as old one

There are a few ways, usually the manufacturer is stickered on the back or product number. If you can't find this there is a line indented across the back of one and not the others

Hey there, if anybody could point me in the direction of a replacement Power/ Volume flex cable it would be greatly appreciated. I had seen them being sold 2-3 weeks back, yet now no amount of searching is turning one up. I need to replace the flex cable on my Pixel Xl due to water damage. If anybody happens to know if the part is cross compatible between the Pixel and the XL varient I would really like to know also.
Thanks in advance,
Hugh

No problem! I've been repairing phones for many years now and I know how annoying it is when you can't find the components you need.
Good luck!
I know that this is an old thread, but
does anyone know where I can purchase the "Google Pixel XL (G-2PW2200) Power flex + Volume flex" cable also?
there are the sites that I found that would sell it, IF it was in stock. I would be extremely grateful if I could find this part.
