Any use out of a brick? - General Questions and Answers

OK so a while ago I bricked my HTC flyer, and then upgraded to my Lenovo a2109 that I dearly love. So with the flyer, I played around with it and disassembled it, and reassembled it again (screen, buttons, hw light buttons still work). But now I'm bored with it. What can I do that's productive wutyh it? Lol. Not totally interested in a fix, no warranty. Can I sell its parts? Anything else productive? Or is it better just to keep it as is? Thanks lol

Ha well unfortunately Im on campus so I cannot move until sophomore year into such a house........ anyways, I was more so hoping that I could disassemble and sell its parts, I guess not? Anything else you can think of?

Well...you could either sell it's parts, sell it whole, or.............give it to me

You'd probly get your money back on sending it to MobileTechVideos.com PM connexion2005 for details.

What do you mean? The parts? If so, that would be the screen and the digitizer.
The screen could get you around $60 all the way up to $90, the digitizer could get you $40 and the battery could get you around $25*.
(*all prices based on what's seen on eBay)

My tablet now is what I want to stick with, flyer old and losing xda attention anyways. I'm interested in selling parts now, found out the back plate can be sold for 50 bucks too! I just need to know where to send parts to be sold so I can make near 200 bucks it seems.

Anyone know if this will work with a receiver HDMI input vs direct to the HDMI on the TV? My setup has all my electronics in another room and I would love to hook this up via HDMI to my receiver and be able to "switch" to it as needed.

My skyrocket is 100% functioning, except... The screen is broken as well as the glass, I can turn it on and see my files when I plug it into my computer, anyone willing to buy it off me for around 100~ all you need to do is to replace the screen. PM me if anyone's interested!

LCD broken - Need info/guide on replacement

Edit:
Okay friends. Found a supplier laptopscreen.com
The issue is, there is no manual or video guide available. Did anyone successfully done DIY replacement of LCD or digitizer? Is it required to remove the PCB s and components for detaching the LCD from digitizer?
Any info appreciated. Thanks

Kept the tablet TF300T in my car back seat.
My friend sit over and broken the LCD. The touch panel is ok, which I checked with hdmi out. Do someone know where shall I find a replacement screen from any reliable source?

Thanks. But my friend is not much rich to bear that much. So, I have to.
Anyways, i'm from Dubai. I asked Asus and they charge almost equal to the price of a used tablet here. That's Dirhams.1300=~$350.
So looking for some online supplier. I have some knowledge to fix it myself. Just need the LCD.
I found only one on eBay but that's costly also

Your almost better off buying a new unit, my man. Unless the lcds from another asus model is compatible, which would most likely be the 700, which would be the same price.

[Q] 32GB Nexus 5 with hairline crack

Someone is willing to sell me that for $250. Is that a good Deal? Zoom in a little to see the cracks better.

I think that depends on you. Can you live with the crack? Does it bother you? Only you can decide.
A new 32 GB Nexus 5 is $400, so you have to ask yourself is the crack worth saving $150.

It is not a good deal. LG charges about $150 to fix the screen such as this, leaving you with the exact same cost as buying a new one yourself.
Cracks in the screen can only get worse over time. I would maybe pay $150 for it if I was prepared to fix the screen myself for around $125.

As someone said, you do have to keep in mind that the crack can get worst if you drop the phone hard enough. If you baby your phone and don't mind the annoyance of the hairline crack then I'd say do it for $200 cash and not $250. To me $200 cash is a good price.

The insides might be damaged as well beyond the crack.

Like when buying a used car, you get a mechanic to check it out first. In this case, meet the seller at a cell phone repair shop, should cost no more than $5-10 for the inspection.

I'm not passing any judgment on you so don't get offended, but my guess is they figure since you took a drill to it, either a. they think you don't care about the money or b. you're an idiot and will pay without questioning.
But from the pictures, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just the screen.
good luck!
It should be just the screen because I replaced it with an eBay one but the screen wasn't a original. It kinda work with the eBay one but it didn't. I sent it back and I'm guessing it was the screen. Everything in it is not damage and I live is the united States by the way.
Edit: Can anyone link me to an OEM screen ? On eBay or Amazon only
