Hi All,
I have searched the forum, and have not found my answer. If it is out there I can't find it using the search terms I can think of.
I dropped my Xoom wifi. Cracked the glass. I have watched a couple of the repair videos on youtube. I can do the labor. I have contacted Motorola and they are not willing to sell me the part. Motorola only offered to do the repair for me for $199. I am looking for a good supplier of Xoom parts. I have googled it and found a few suppliers of the glass/digitizer for half the price motorola will do the repair for. I have not heard of these companies before, and am wondering if anyone has any experience with them...

http://www.papadigitals.com
http://www.repairsuniverse.com
Has anyone had any experiences with these companies?
thanks for any help,
Jon
Repairs Universe is a very reputable site. Prices could be lower, but they sell high quality stuff and ship it to you fast.
thanks brandogg. I ordered the replacement glass from them last night.

No problem, from what I've seen, it's a relatively simple job, just make sure you have a can of compressed air and a micro fiber cloth on hand. Take some pics if it's not too much of a hassle and if you don't mind.

Does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced digitizer? I dropped my Xoom today and I've got a crack along the right edge. The only ones I have been able to find via googling are either ridiculously expensive ($250+) or the web site looks shady...
+1 im looking for motorola xoom glass @ digitizer replacement also...
Contact Motorola directly, they have a repair and replacement program.
Nobody thinks of this?

yes, but if they don't live in the usa it could be complicated/not the best solution... so the question still relevant.
I doubt there is no service/office of Motorola where you live. Remember that the guarantee applies to Motorola's worldwide, I asked here in Bulgaria, and I have warranty, even though I've purchased from the states. They checked my serial number and immediately went there warranty... when and by whom it was bought, how long is the warranty, etc.
I thought xoom have gorilla glass it was supposedly would not break
there is no motorola xoom support in Malaysia yet...and warranty doesnt cover lens @ digitizer...i've talk to motorola support service in US,they need US address to recive or send the item...repair the lens cost $199...its a lot amount because im a student...
what the model of the digitizer...i know its corning gorilla glass...but i need the serial number cause im searching on the web and im find this info
www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/XOOMBOM-Totals-$359-92-IHS-iSuppli-Teardown-Reveals.aspx
but i dont know what are the digitizer model?
can someone tell me what the digitizer model?
thanks

ya i knew there are no discount for student even for cracked lens damage...really miss my xoom...been using only 1month T.T
I have replaced 3 of these to date i got them from ebay for about 50 bucks
check out http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-xoom-c-22_1274.html, they have the digitizer for $130. dont know where else to find it.
many supplier said the Xoom digitizer panel has been out of stock,i finally got one from lingosbox at 128.98$,it works the same as my previous one.
A few days ago I dropped my Desire S on the floor so now I need to replace the glass. The phone is still working perfectly so I'm not going to pay the full price at HTC (besides that, I got the phone for free in a contest).
So ofcourse I have done some research, and found out that there isn't a lot of information about the Desire S yet. I did stumble upon this (detailed) guide:
youtube.com/watch?v=FaawEVWZvG4
Although I found this guide, my first question is if anyone knows another/even better guide then this one?
My second question is about the actual Digitizer. I found some sellers on ebay, but I find it extremely difficult to determine whether they are good sellers. Does anyone have any experience with sellers on ebay? Are these digitizers of the same quality as the original? I was thinking of the following sellers:
ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-DESIRE-S-SAGA-TOUCH-SCREEN-DIGITIZER-TOOLS-NEW-/310335200835?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48416b5e43#ht_1742wt_1396

Any additional tips about this replacement are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

If ur in the UK try wefixmac.com they have desire s screens
I've had a few iPhone screens off them, top quality and quick delivery. Not sure about fitting tho
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
there are quite a few screens on ebay which claim to be genuine. Not sure if they are but at least you can complain through paypal to get your money back if you don't think the item is genuine. I've only bought a digitizer once before for the iphone 3g from ebay. It turned out to be good quality and it's still in good condition apart from a little dust under the screen which might become an issue, but i think this is an issue anyway with the desire s.
Also, that guide looks pretty good and clear. can't find anything others.

i bought 2 of ebay.. Ath the moment there is a copy (non-original) digitizer on ebay and i do beleive that most of those sold on ebay are copies.. i got 1 from china and 1 from UK. The UK was copy.. The one from Hong-Kong looked like original..
you can understand the non-original as the symbols & the HTC (logo) are how can i say it "less bold" than the original. and the surface of the digitizer is not as smooth to the finger as the original

Do you remember (or can you look up) the one from Hong Kong? This shop looks pretty genuine to me, beacsue they also sell the "Frame Bezelf Housing Case". I find it hard to believe that they also make copies of those, but I might be wrong. They are also the creators of the guide I posted!

Thanks for all the replies so far!
i got it from here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180681641967
the thing is that this one looked original, but the back of the digitizer (the circuits & the cable ) was a little bit different than original..
The copy which i got from a UK seller looked as a copy (text symbols and touch wise - it even was a fingertips magnet 200% more than original) but looked exactly like the original from behind (even the cable had the same part numbers etc) clearly a great copy job
so you choose original front or original back
This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-Shi...472?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a20104c60
I need one of these as i ripped the one in my fiance's phone. 25$ is a little pricy, and I almost just thought about buying a phone with a broken screen/digitizer and taking it out of there, but cheapest i can find on that front is $40-60. All the sites i've contacted that sell the digitizers and front housing assemblies do not carry this piece. Is it really that rare?
Any help is appreciated.
It's a bit high, not by much. I've found it for cheaper, but you have to buy more than one unfortunately.
Oh well then. I know I'd seen the digitizers ranging from $22-$45, and then found it on amazon for under $7, so i thought I'd ask around, see if maybe someone knew about a site I didn't.
I'd still do a bit more searching. You never know . You might come across another site that's cheaper. I usually search around for at least a few days before buying. Another approach you may want to try is searching for places that sell parts for the OG EVO 4G. They usually also sell parts for the Shift, and other HTC Devices.
Found it on that store's website for $10 cheaper. Link for anyone else who may need it:
https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=8015
or found completely by accident, incidently after i've already ordered the other one, for $8.99

Hi guys,
Posted this in the other galaxy s2 forum since 727 was not listed on the forums page (had to search for it).
Anyway I'm helping a friend replace his broken screen/digitizer and I've noticed that the cheapest ones on ebay (or anyone for that matter) are about $150. Even iPhone digitzers are cheaper so I thought that maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Anyone know of a good place to get them cheaper for the I-727?
The cheapest digitizers on eBay are $120. It doesn't matter if they're from China or from US, AFAIK you get exactly the same one.
You can't and won't get anything cheaper. Due to your inquiry I can safely assume you don't know one fact - unlike other manufacturers, Samsung packages LCD+Digitizer as a single unit, and separating them in anything but a dedicated lab with special tools is extremely hard / impossible. This is the reason for the cost.

Appreciate it,
Didn't wanna go for one from china because of the shipping times. Guess he'll have to bite the bullet on this one, thanks
My wife just dropped her month-old Nexus 5. Perfect drop to completely spider-web the glass.
I think I can handle doing the repair myself, but does anybody know of a good source for a replacement screen at a reasonable price?
Googling yields a wide range of prices and sources. Hoping someone here has some personal experience they can share.
Thanks!
