Anyone know where I can purchase replacement parts for the captivate? I wanted to replace the plastic pieces on the back since i screwed them up pretty good.
Me too
I have the same problem.
The upper plastic piece of mine has a scratch, and I would like to replace it.
However I can't find anyone in the web that sells these replacement parts.
EDIT: Nevermind, this seems to be it.
EDIT 2: It seems these guys at globaldirectparts are crazy. I've found a better deal at ebay.

I just dropped my diamond by accident while running to my car to avoid the rain =="....
It was in a PDA case, but it still somehow popped out of the case and got scratched up...
So I am in DIRE NEED OF A REPLACEMENT HOUSING!!!
lucky for me, the only damaged parts were the metal rim around the front side of the phone and the battery cover...
I am thinking of just getting an extended battery so i can get a new battery cover with it as well.
But I can't find the Replacement part for the rim around the front of the phone...
I took a lot at the phone and it seems easy enough to replace the rim....but i need to find the part first....
Please guys, any help will be very much appreciated....
Really need this housing replacement...can't stand looking at my scratched up diamond =(
phones still in its early stages so gonna be hard to get hold of housing so quick. Usually best place is here
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-c-277_533.html
but they only have screen and back plate at the moment
just be patient a little bit longer.
does that shop deliver quickly??
would it be possible to ask for oem parts directly from htc...?
i talked it over with htc canada today and it may cost upwards 100 CDN to fix the cosmetic damage =(
no insurance?
uh no...i've never insured a phone before....
never thought it would the belt clip would break and let the phone fall and get scratched =="
argh...
any ideas on what to do...
should just take out the rim and touch it up myself ^^"....
oh i've got an idea =D!!!!
I can buy a dummy phone and replace it directly that way...
right.....?

In a very rare occasion you can use dummy phones.
Mostly the inside is completely different, no way of using those dummies for housing parts.
Haven't seen a dummy Diamond yet, so I can't tell if it is usable, but mostly HTC dummies aren't usable.

i'm just lokoing to replace the outer rim on the front side of the phone and the battery cover....?
so maybe its possible...
ill drop by a local mall and see if its possible i guess....
loads of dummy diamond phones on ebay the last time i check it out.
i wouldn't say loads...
i saw a total of 4 =P lol
average 20-30 dollars CDN
which is fine for me if i can use it as housing and battery cover replacement
anyways heading out to check the dummy model =)
it doesn't work =(
its one giant piece, so i can't really take it apart to replace the piece i want...
How hard is it to take apart the diamond?
The invisible shield really stuffed up my screen. I can see parts flaked off the screen (looks like a thin protection layer) which is believe is the touch sensor itself. It has not affected the use of the phone but looks ugly.
EDIT: Home from work and did a search and found this: http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor-htc-touch-diamond/
Looks like a lot of work to get to the digitizer.
wow amazing find...was looking for a page like this...
aw man...the housing is one whole piece from what i can tell from the last picture...guess a DIY housing replacement is not really gonna be easy....
i'm gonna ask HTC for an estimate....
just minor cosmetic damage on mine on the corners so nothing too huge but it pains me to see it every time =(
at least this seems a bit easier than fixing the iphone....its so much work to put in a new digitizer cause of the way the housing is built
Looking for the Telus Black rear cover
If anyone finds a place that is selling the black rear battery cover for the CDMA version of the phone i would be interested.

Ive ordered from here before, and its a great place!

Is the matte screen protector on there any decent?
I dunno. I've just ordered parts to fix phones, ie screens, keypads, etc and a few battery chargers. Going to love keeping a spare battery on deck again, stupid iPhone.
My Nexus one has a broken LCD but all they have on their site is the digitizer.. Hopefully I can find a replacement LCD soon..
cnn is great, but they ship slooooooow! Keep it in mind if you are on a tight schedule!
Those are not bad prices at that site!
bumpage for the morning folks
Can anyone tell me where to find lcd for nexus?
Nexus one replacement part needed
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for the outer shell of the nexus one? The part i need is the aluminum frame that goes around the screen, earpiece, trackball and loops around the lower back... (Picture attached)
I dropped it and the scratches arent bad ont he plastic parts, but the aluminum part near the top (where the earpiece is) is chipped like crazy. Anyone know where I can get this part?
Or if I buy a mock up phone, will it disassemble into the same parts as the external casing for the real thing? Please help! Thanks!
anyone know where i can buy just an external speaker, mine is shot
possible replacement parts source
Searching around for parts for a friends Nexus one myself and found this for the housing.
http://mobile.brando.com/google-nexus-one-replacement-housing_p05399c0670d088.html
Also found this one who supposedly lists parts for the various sub-assemblies http://www.lunacommerce.com/154-nexus-one-spareparts
Have a email sent in to the last one for what they are calling the P/N LNC-GPGNOMB Google Nexus One Mid Chasis. Kind of sucks cause that is really 2 boards and Im only needing the small board that has the sim connector and sd card connector that sits on top of the main motherboard.
Have one broken pin on the sim card that is preventing the phone from being usable at this point and not able to find just the replacement sim connector or the board its on, instead the whole main board would require replacement. doubtful its gonna be cheap either. Anyone have a damaged unit with these cards they want to get rid of?
anyone else having problems using the lunacommerce site? i sent for an enquiry for a part and it said the price was sent to email but is not there?
good to know all these parts are available
Can you fix that SIM connector pin with solder?
Does someone know if the dummy phone have the same material as the real one?
I have also scratches in the aluminium around the phone, wondering if I can take apart the dummy and replace this onto my real one.

Ive ordered from CNN as well, parts where nice and fit great... I too am interested in replacement body parts for the N1.
I just looked for some parts around Brando site...
If you enter "Nexus One" as a search string you get all parts they have:
http://mobile.brando.com/search.php?keyword=nexus+one&Submit=Product+Search
as for me, a bit cheaper that "CNN" proposes.

Wtf? For 80$ I can live with my scratches...
I've had my Captivate about six weeks now. This morning the door on the USB port wouldn't slide open, so I looked at the bezel, and a small piece had chipped out right behind the port. I carefully removed the chipped out piece, and the USB door opens fine now.
I called both AT&T and Samsung, AT&T wants $465.00 for a new phone, and Samsung wants me to send the phone in.
Anybody have any ideas where I can get a replacement bezel?
Lots of people looking, anybody got any ideas?
I believe you would have to replace the entire case, or at least the top half. review the teardowns to be sure, but I don't know where you will find it. If you know which part, www.cnn.cn has lots of parts.
Thank you very much, I'll check it out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thanks for the help, but no luck. I've searched dozens of sites, and haven't found anything yet.
I managed to successfully superglue the chip back in place, without screwing up the function of the door or looking bad.
I would be curious to know of other people this has happened too, though.
I have not heard of it happening. Sounds like the phone got jerked when the USB cord was in and probably got jerked out sideways and cracked the housing.
So just two days ago I asked about a case for my wife's new G2x. I took your guys advice and ordered the $25 case (forgot the name of that brand though).
BUT, today she dropped the phone (it's unbelievable!) and the screen is smashed. I mean cracked like a cracked glass. You can't even see anything when you turn it on.
What do I do now? Throw this phone to the garabage? Buy a new LCD? If buy a new LCD, how to look for one? OEM? Non-OEM? eBay? LG's site?
Any advice on this would be very helpful.
Thanks!
There are phone repair shops that can fix it for you I think. I tried to replace an ipod battery once, which required removing the screen, and I cracked it trying to open it. I'll never mess with a screen myself again. Ipod glass and digitizer repair was like $60, no clue on G2X.
Edit - I might just be clumsy, and if you're good with your hands, you very well might be able to do it yourself for cheaper.
buy from ebay and have someone replace it. should cost about $50 - $70
its probably a lot cheaper to just replace the screen, but you would have to order the parts and fix it/ have somebody else fix it.
In my opinion if you dont mind spending a little cash i would just dump it for a sgsII or a GNex
I'm be looking for a replacement part for my Photon Q: it has dropped and the external plastic, the one around the screen section, got scratched. NOT the screen, just the rectangular plastic around the phone. I would need to buy a genuine replacement, cheap, if possible, for it.
I will be buying the Otterbox Commuter also, since I don't want it to get in bad cosmetical state so quickly, again.
Thanks for the help
Tony
Any help?
Other than the obvious - ebay and the like... I am not aware of any place that specifically sells hardware like that.
Good luck.

Wow, that's actually really helpful, thanks, I was looking for a something like this a while ago, just so I can experiment with the phone.
Thanks again.
