I looked around but couldn't find anything relative to my question.
I dropped my Asus Transformer and although nothing is damaged as far as buttons, touchscreen or even the performance. The only issue is the back as a crack on it. I have searched on Google and have had no luck but I'm looking for the back cover and maybe the frame of the transformer. I know it's easy to replace as everything is just a unscrew and pop it off. I have all the tools necessary just no luck finding the back cover and border frame.
So my question is does anyone know where I might be able to find the frame or back. I know these devices are in such high demand that Asus probably hasn't developed parts for it. Also the warranty doesn't cover "mishandling" of the device.
Any info would be grateful. Thanks guys!
I guess in the worst case scenario where you can't find a replacement part or get them to fix it for you or return it... you could always get one of those silicone or whatever cases? The ones where you put a hard cover on the back of the device? It'd cover up the crack.
Do they even make those cases for the transformer?
You might be able to send it to Asus for repairs.
They do! I saw a youtube video of a white one. I'd totally get it just for the color.. but I do like the copper tone.
Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I do need the same back cover plate for my transformer. I have searched and googled but no joy

No mate.. What op and i are looking for is the original back plate and not a rubber cover /protection

my screen has stopped responding...i have yet to try to get it fixed but if asus wont fix it ... i believe im going to sell the transformer for scrap ...so u may be in luck ill let you know what happens with Asus and the warranty
Awesome! Let me know maybe we can work something out
Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk
Maybe we can figure something out. Especially since Asus told me they don't sell parts. You have to send it to them and they will charge you for what they fix. I need the back and the frame so whatever we can work out would be great.

stryke504, All i need is the back camera lens.. Believe it or not, its only held by glue and mine fell off. If you know how to disassemble the transformer you can access it when you remove the back. I can just get the one from your cracked case if its still intact
Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk
Well mine is still intact. If I can get his, after I take my back off I'll give it you.

Hey, about a month ago I dropped my G2X and the screen cracked. I got it fixed at some shady place (yeah i know my fault haha) and now I cant get signal or data. The screen and phone are 100% functional its just that I can't get any signal. I'm running stock 2.2.2, any ideas?
I have also tried a new sim card, didnt work :/
Have you had signal or data at all after the repair?

I don't know how the internal of the g2x look like but maybe a flex cable got ripped a little or a wire to the antenna is lose... just a possibility... you'll get that when you take an expensive phone to a shady place

I opened it and it looked like the antenna cable was frayed? Not sure if it's supposed to be like that, I included a few pics. It was connected though, is there anyway to replace it?

Yea that shouldn't be like that... that connector can't be soldered back or just shoved in like that... I got some extra wire connector that look just like that from my old hd2... you tell me if that will work... its about 4in or so long... both end have same connector... if you say yea... I can mail it to you...
I tried to take a picture of it at close up like you to show how it look but its all fuzzy... lol well just let me know if you want to give it a try bro
Here's my email... [email protected]

The antenna to the G2x seems about an inch or two longer than the one the HD2 uses, although I might be wrong, because I seem to remember the HD2 cable winding around alot.
Its the white one... the black one is shorter... I was putting my hd2 back together while posting my last message.. I was in the same boat as he was but worst... the Guy that work on my phone did not even put it back together... he gave it back to me with it being apart and had major issues cause he Jimmy rig the crap out of my phone... I gave it to him to repair as a whole phone... so I ended up repairing it myself... and its working fine!!! Just want to save frost some money... xda been very helpful to me since I became a member

Aight knowledgeable xda members..
I have recently cracked my g2x screen... but i got looking at replacement parts n so forth.... wondering a thing or 2
ok best place to find the screen/digitizer and are there bad brands that i need to stay away from??
And 2 are there any custom g2x housings online other then oem black?
was hoping for maybe a silver.. and a case just dont do it for me either...
any advice would be helpful...
You can buy a white bezel and it definitely sells a lot more if u were wondering. Also its unique and it looks good.
here is a link for a white one, to answer your question, I don't know if it is a good or bad company. Hopefully i won't crack my screen to find out.

It would b cool for a silver/aluminum one...

I have the black skyrocket and I would like to change the housing to white. I would even consider another color. Has anyone found a site or know where I can get the housing pieces? I know that I will have to replace the front screen due to the border being black on mine.
Any help would be great. Thanks!!
You're gonna end up spending more on those pieces than you did for the phone.
the complete front panel with screen is $220. that's more then the phone its self if you got it on contract.

I did find a few site that had them and I have also come to the same conclusion that you guys pointed out. It will cost me more to place everything to make it white. I will just have too stay black or find one on ebay that the insides have crapped out.
Thanks again guys.

Aside from the "why did you get a black one, if you wanted a white one" question
Have you thought about just selling yours on ebay (or similar) and just getting a white phone? Like just about everything else, if you price the parts individually... It always costs more than buying the finished product. I guess White Out wouldn't cut it?

In the short time I had my SGS2, I read this tutorial on taking the outside housing off and sanding it down to give it a matte finish. I'm sure something like that can be applied to the Skyrocket, since it's nearly the same design. Take off the housing, paint it white, and replace it. The screen wouldn't be white, but maybe it looks good like that.

So I just bought this and I love the look and feel of it, but I can't get it to work. All of the physical buttons (all three of them lol) work fine; the screen comes on fine..it just doesn't accept touches. But, weirdly, I left it alone for a while and let it charge, and it worked fine for about five minutes. Got to the part of setup where I would normally put in my account info, and the touch screen stopped working.
Is this possibly a defective unit?

Just sent a message to Amazon Warehouse Deals. Waiting to see if I can get lucky and get a replacement (doubtful). Till then, I suppose I'll admire the beauty of what could've been :<
I'll update this post with their reply once/if I get one.
Edit: they messaged me back saying they would give me a full refund back for the defective unit. Me, being the impatient person that I am, will probably just turn around and just buy a new one from walmart.

If you take it to a ups store, they should be able to box it and everything, but if all you're shipping it in is the actual Asus box and handing it off to the driver..I'd be willing to bet he'd look at you rather funny. To be safe, I'd throw it in a small brown box and attach the shipping label.

I lost wifi for about a minute out of nowhere kept giving me tht pop up. Just got it 2 days ago if i again start having problems with this one I'm just going to return it for a refund and get a brand i know n trust. Samsung. This tablets are not made well. Even when I hold it it cracks on me. Not well put together like I know Samsungs tablets are just as well made as my note 2. Bought this tablet thinking it was the best. Now it's all but buyers remorse. Rather pay an extra 100 to 200 if it meant my tablet will be well made and no problems. The little time ive had with this device and already messing up. Plain Stupid
