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

ebay F350..are they refurbished phones?

Hey guys, always wanted a G Pro 2 and now that they're so cheap on ebay I figured I can finally get one, but it seems like they could be factory seconds or refurbished going off the some of the feedback claiming the phones are faulty from a few sellers. Anyone here got their F350 off ebay?
Cheers

I got few refurbished LG G2 F320. Depends on the seller. I have good and bad experiences with refurbished LG's. Some of them were without any problem, but some of them with bad screens, bad buttons, no 3G and 4G etc. Most of them are with bad second hand screens, loose touchscreens, no original battery, no original accessories etc... But if you find a good seller with good reputation, and a price from 160 to 180 us$ for LG G Pro 2, why not to try .

Got mine off ebay. Was sold as new but did not came with the prodective stickers around the body my first one came with. Other than that phone works fine. My first ebay f350k wifi stopped working.

It does seem to be a lottery when you buy from ebay

Even if it is cheap I'd rather not take the risk

Had mine over eBay too. My first had a dead GPS, the seller replaced it, but it took 2 months to have all this resolved. I am however very happy with my phone and the price was unbeatable. They seem refurbished even if sold as new because I first went to a repair shop with my first phone and they claimed that there was a sticker at the back of the phone that attested for the refurbishment. Opening the phone would also have broken the sticker, so I preferred an exchange instead.

I bought my F350 off Ebay in December 2015 and it was sealed, and certainly appears to be brand new. I did read the description very carefully, of course, and checked his feedback carefully. I paid just a few pounds more than the cheapest and this seller seems to be selling new units. It cost me £129.

What kind of sticker where is it located on the phone?

Buying nexus 5

Hi guys, I am sorry because this is probably 1828318th time someone asks this.
I have samsung galaxy s6, I love it. I could get this phone for 120-150 euros, is it worth ? It probably wouldn't be my primary phone, something to have in reserve but I would also use it, one of the reasons I would like to try it because on my sgs6 is first time I flashed rom, so I would also like to experiment with it.
Thank you

It's a great phone, hardware-wise it's perfect. Great chipset (cpu, gpu), 2gb of ram is enough, go for the 32gb version since it doesn't take a sd card. The camera is very good, the screen even better, and it's a nexus, so you have many people working on it. It's cheap and you can find replacement parts cheap and easily on eBay (screen, battery etc.).
If you're planning on buying from eBay (specifically those from honk kong) be careful, I bought 3 of them (1st motherboard broke on its own, didn't have backlight, 2nd came with a literally broken motherboard) because they were all broken or faulty. Suspicious things I found when I removed the back covers. The 3rd was finally good.

I bought 2 of them for 180 dollars [emoji14]

[Q] eMMC replacement chip

So it looks like my eMMC got fried after failing to write to all of the partitions from fastboot. Now, since my country doesn't have a whole lot of shops that are willing to replace a single SMD chip from the board I was left with going through laptop shops and finally found one that was willing to replace the chip. The only catch is that I'm left with sourcing the chip. On that note, I was left a bit of confused about the eMMC chips, specially after that 64GB mod.
Now, I have a 16GB Nexus 5 and from looking at the ifixit site, I can see that it is using a SandDisk SDIN8DE4-16G chip. Normally, for the repair, I would buy the exact same chip, but after seeing that I can "upgrade" I was thinking about getting the 32GB version of the chip i.e. SDIN8DE4-32G since the price is similar. Is that the chip from the 32GB Nexus version? Also, I didn't want to go the route of the 64GB since I didn't ivestigate as much into the compatabilaty of other ROMs with that chip.
So my questions are the following:
Should I go ahead and buy the SDIN8DE4-32G chip? Is the upgrade process that simple?
The second question is: Can I put in any eMMC chip in there and not just the SDIN8DE4-32G chip i.e. a faster eMMC 5 chip and how would the process differ (if at all)?
Any and all input is welcome, specially from the people that have some experience with SMD HW repair.
EDIT 1: Ok, after some research, I see that the 32GB version of Nexus does in fact use the SDIN8DE4-32G chip.

Depending on what they are charging you, you might be better off just replacing the whole motherboard with a brand new one from eBay for like $80US
Sorry I can't help with sourcing the actual chip.

Yeah, I agree that that would be the easiest route, but it's the most expencive one. The 32GB Nexus 5 chip can be found for around 15$ (inc. shipping) and the shop would charge me another 25$ for the soldering so it would still be at like a half the price of a new board, and any repair above 50$ just doesn't make sence since I can find a used Nexus 5 16GB for 100$ and sell this one for parts for around 50$.

Am curious how did this adventure end

Sadly not the way I've hoped. I sold it off for parts for 30e and got a used one for 70e.
All in all a good deal, but still on the 16GB version and looking to upgrade to a new phone since there are some limitations of the 32 bit CPU architecture.
Was looking at the Motorola X4, but it doesn't support project Treble out of the box, so I think I'll wait a bit more until Android 8.0 phones come to market.

That sucks

Is it worth buying an old 32GB Shield?

Hi,
I am looking for a shield tablet but confused about the battery problem. I found one used here for about 150 € and not sure if I should buy it. If I turn it on and IT gets disabled by nvidia, can i reactivate it? Or van I just install a custom rom before and be happy with the tablet?
Thanks!

I bought an 32Go and the battery is an B01*, so no problem, ask to the seller if the battery is an Y01* (check in the settings) and if yes don't buy it.

No, if it is y01 just make sure they haven't done the recall yet. If not, you get a brand new one and get to keep the old.
I would not buy if is already recalled, at least not for that much. Maybe $50 us at most.

Not for $150. You can get a new one for $200.
