Hi everyone.
I have a few parts available for the nexus one.
Complete bezel with glass and digitizer fitted.
Main board
Power button
Black plastic cover for over the camera, power ribbon and some others
I shall post up pics when I can.
I'm after the top ribbon board with has volume and power on as my power ribbon is playing up.
If anyone has a working one let me know. I'm happy to buy or trade what I have for one.

I am interested on the motherboard, do you sell it separately?

Hi
i bought this used g2x and when i got it and powered on there are lines going across the screen is this a Digitizer issue or a screen issue so i can replace accordingly.
i took pictures of it if it helps.
the screen responds to finger tap so i guess digi is ok.....
Thanks in advance for your help.
I would deffinately have demanded my money back. Well, its going to be the lcd screen. there's good and bad news here. Good: will be far easier to replace than the digitizer. Bad: from experience, the LCD costs more. I think for my last phone, the LCD was slightly twice the cost of the digitizer.
The reason its your screen though is because the digitizer is only conductive glass. It doesn't produce any light in which you would get those lines.

If you bought it through ebay and the faulty lcd wasn't described as a problem, you need to file a report so you can get a refund and prevent it from happening to others.

It is possible that if the seller repaired the LCD that the ribbon cable connecting the display to the logic board shifted and came loose during transit.
Contact the seller before you do ANYTHING... first try to get him to replace/refund, if they won't, find out if they replaced the screen or digitizer themselves. If yes, you may be looking at simply reattaching a cable.
Does anyone have a quick fix solution, to repair a damaged volume up (replace little aluminum button), without replacing the entire main flex cable? The little aluminum button was damaged, and no longer flexes to contact the PCB. Volume down still works properly. I've searched and the only solution I've seen is replacement of the main ribbon. Please help.
P.S. - I attached an image of the button I'm describing.
Last image did not show up. Hope this one works.
Common problem with the inspire. You have to replace the whole thing including cable that goes to main board. Just about the whole phone has to be disassembled and the new part put in. I know the actual part is pretty cheap. Not a simple task though and no quick fix.

So the dome is cracked in half? Looks like it. One suggestion, maybe try some solder to "fuse the dome back together, maybe just maybe... Otherwise I use flex circuits at my work and I have some of those domes but they are bigger. I could send you some and maybe you could trim it?
One thing I just fixed on my Inspire, the down button wasn't working real well. The domes were fine just had to press real hard. I put a little, thin piece of paper (backing from a sticker) between the little foamy like piece and the flex circuit so the button doesn't move as much when pressed. Worked a charm!
Maybe that will help out others.
If you're unfamiliar, as i was, start at 2:23 on this video and you can how to get the buttons out. Can't post links yet so here's the video title.

Hi ive just repaired my volume flex cable(tore it during digitizer replace) and my volume down button still won't work! After further investigation I noticed that inside the actual housing where the volume button lies there are "painted metal contacts" similar to the ones located on the GPS,simcard cover, and wifi antenna/battery door. I've tried a very small piece of foil with no success, is there some kind of conductive paint for small electronics?

Sensors still work for me
When I was removing the battery to stop a rom that did not work the button or knockers snapped in half. The sensors still work if I reach in there with my nail and I was hoping that there would be a small replacement for these buttons, but I wanted to check here first to make sure that it would not break the sensors and then I would have no way of running AAHK or going into recovery.
Was replacing the outsize bezel while meant I had to remove the touch screen and LCD screen altogether. I accidentally tore the strip that goes from the top of the mother board to the, I believe digitizer, it controls the touch buttons along with the overall screen. I have full brightness, volume and power buttons all work.
But like I said, it goes from the motherboard to the front screen, NOT the LCD to motherboard strip.
Any help would be appreciated.
Goodluck trying to repair that. Better off just getting a new digitizer

In my experience, there is no coming back from that one. I'm gonna say you'll need a new one.

The good news is:a digitizer is relatively cheap

I disconnected all of the little connectors, so I thought. This ribbon didn't seem to have a removable connection, or am I wrong on that?
It has a section that lays down on the metal frame. It has some double sticky tape that keeps it layed down.the section I am talking about has a small chip and cuircitry on it with two holes in the ribbon caddy corner from each other that keep it lined up with two pegs molded into the metal frame. You will see it under the mother board whitch the very end connector conects to on the leftside looking at it. Once the mother board is off. You have to ease the curcit part stuck to the metal frame off. I use a small knife taking the sharp edge to sneek under and lift a little at a time to get it loose then you can get it apart.

I saw pictures of the digitizer ribbon but didn't see how it connected but I think I got it now. I found some on ebay in the US for like $25, one that I saw for $39 showed a the digitizer already glued to the bezel portion...when I bought a set a few weeks ago, it came with the back battery cover, HDMI and audio jack smaller back cover, and the outsize bezel which has the layout of the digitizer (four holes at the bottom for the capacitive buttons).
The adhesive tape **** they gave me was horrible, it was way too flimsy and I couldn't even really use it.
In the process of dissecting my retired inspire, I somehow managed to cut the ribbon cable that connects to the little pcb with the volume switches. Is that a part that can be replaced workout replacing the whole digitizer & such assembly?
If so, can someone recommend a good source for parts?
Thanks
See here for disassembly and make your own mind up if its possible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk

Sadly, the ribbon cable for the volume buttons is joined with the camera lens, the part you need lays underneath the motherboard, which takes up quite a lot of the surface area of the phone, luckily though, the part is quite cheap, you can use the video above to help.

Hi
The little white plastic power button/switch underneath the top cover has broken off, not the black button on the top cover!! I cannot seem to find any parts on ebay or anywhere, do I have to dismantle the phone and replace a whole ribbon or is there a way of replacing just the tiny white button? If I buy a damaged HOS could I repair it or is it impossible? Thanks anyone:crying:

I purchased a replacement off Ebay about a month ago
you will need a very small solder tip and a steady hand
