I very recently hard bricked my beautiful phone with no chance of recovery. So my plan was to replace the motherboard. I scoured the internets in search of said motherboard and all I could find where a few listings of cracked phones and one mobo on ebay worth buying(got outbid 3 or 4 times so far). I was wondering if anyone had a sketchy site from overseas I could order from, a place that actually stocks the part. Thank you for your time, good day.

Hello everyone
Can someone suggest where can I order this broken part?
I wish you luck. Tried to find a replacement battery cover to no avail. All I have seen online is digitizers. I emailed and phoned HTC and they do not sell any parts anymore and referred me to the "usual suspect" online sites.
so, replacement of this part would have cost me 110€ and I lost this phone.
Now I bought a new 7 Pro for a 350€
About to replace my LCD and digitizer after an accident that has left my phone useless
I found a guide online and the items needed.
any heads up or pointers I should know about before doing this?
I hope you have insurance... First time I tried to open something electronic up, I cracked the screen! (ipod) be careful man
Sorry to hear man, but before you do anything you aren't really comfortable with I would suggest looking at some local cell phone repair shops. My brother cracked his LG G2x and the price for the digitizer was abour $75. We searched on yelp.com and called around and found a great shop that would repair it for $95 within two hours. Some places were charging well over $100 and would take at least 5 days to repair.
In the end though my brother was extremely happy with the experience and once he got his phone fixed he flashed a new ICS rom and it was literally a brand new phone! Good luck though my friend.
I cannot stress it enough, get an HTC digitizer! I bought a $30 one off of amazon and it gave up after a month. Get a cell phone tool kit and plenty of the two sided tape, just in case the screen needs to be redone. It's not hard to do, it just requires some time and a little patience. You'll do fine.

It's not that I don't feel comfortable with it, just never attempted it. I've done small electronics repair before though so i'm sure this will be fine.
Also thanks,
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I'm replacing my wife's digitizer soon but I got a cheap one off eBay. Hopefully it doesn't have issues. It comes with a kit including the tools needed. Supposedly.
phone wont work after replacing the screen.
any ideas y it wont work,
The phone won't boot up at all? or is the touch screen not working?
Make sure all the ribbon cables are properly connected and are not broken. If not, you might have gotten a defective screen replacement.
RE:
Hi,
I replaced my digitizer.
To anybody who will do this in future, when you put the new digitizer in place, make sure that no dust or other things get under the glass.
Anyone know of a reliable and cheap place to purchase a digitizer screen for the Original Motorola Xoom?

Well I was browsing around and found a website that sells parts for Motorola devices and they do have a digitizer for the original Xoom for around $80. I am new so I can't post the link but the website is called "repairsuniverse".
They are out of stock everywhere. Been trying for months now :banghead:
yup.. same here.. been looking for digitizer replacement... couldn't find any now... they're all out of stock.. im looking for digitizer for mz604 model
You can order them in China. Unfortunately minimum 500 units at 32$

too much digitizer for me... as im looking for one only.. @petrossa did you already change your digitizer?
I bought a Xoom with a broken mobo. So yes. Now I have a spare battery pack as well
where did you buy it... as im tired of search and yet still couldn't find any...
Just stumbled on someone with a water damaged xoom. Just good luck. There is no 'place' to look. But do the math, a digitizer replacement is more then 100$,you can buy a new xoom for 200 to 300 now. Look on ebay I've seen max bids of 180 for as new 2nd hand

A few days ago my MB865 felt to the floor and although there is no visible damage, the main (rear) camera stopped working. I already downgrade to GB, came back to ICS and even tried CM10 but the result is the same: the camera application crashes shortly after start. The guy from technical service checked the phone and confirmed me the whole camera must be replaced.
I searched on many sites but the only one I found the part was here. Sadly it's out of stock. Does anybody know about a site that sell and deliver this piece on USA? (I didn't live there but a friend can bring it to me).
Thank you in advance.
Search eBay, right now they have non for sale (just looked) but patiently you can find one there,some sellers will ship internationally too

I have a spare camera, used, want me to list it on ebay? $20.
Ok, ive given up hope of un bricking my tf300, and probably will never buy another asus product after this. My question is, should i replace the motherboard in mine, or put my screen and digitizer in another tab that i can buy for about the same price as a motherboard? Which would be the easier swap, and can someone like me without any special skills even accomplish this kind of thing? Oh yea thank u all for ur help in the past!!
Either is an easy fix, but I stole the digi/lcd combo and the TS board from my TWRP bricked 16GB to replace the cracked digi on a recently acquired 32GB model. I should be able to recoup some more from the non-logic board parts remaining, enough to more than make sense over buying a logic board alone. The battery, TS board, and good LCD alone might take care of it. If not, then maybe including all the little parts and cables inside will. Even if it is more effort to post and sell all that stuff, it should add up to more than selling a parts tablet with a broken digi and bricked logic board.
But then, I've had many tablets apart, and I'm decent at repairing them. Someone who has never had one apart might find either path daunting.
If doing the repairs yourself isn't a good option, you could always take the tablets to a cell phone repair shop, assuming there's one near you. Replacing the screen on a tablet is similar enough to a smartphone that they shouldn't have any problems. There's also a chance that they fix tablets anyway since they're kind of like big smartphones in the way they're assembled. And since you have your own parts, the repairs shouldn't be too expensive.
