Nexus One dead = spare parts

Hi guys.
Well, i break my n1 while trying to clean the display, following a unmount video found on youtube.
Well, it's not totally break, but i cut a little the flat cable that let work the touchscreen and i break the flat cable that connect the volume regulation button.
So...i have original spare parts to give, if someone need, like display, chassis, battery...and other things.
Display and phone glass is in perfect condition.
No scratch, no dead pixel ( is it correct for amoled display? ) and even zagg shield on the phone is still there ( not on screen, just on the body of the phone ).
I can send high quality pics, if somone of you need particular view of it.
Pics:

Hi.
Well if you can send me an 'how to' for disassembly that part i'll do.
I'm not familiar with internal component of this phone.
Anyway, i'd like to send the entire phone first at all, so the final user will unmount the part that need.
It will be more easy for me.
Or else, just wait that i'll give other 'simple' part of the phone ( display, battery, chassis ) to people that need and after i'll can send easily the remaining part to you.
i can build a queue of the people here that need parts with priority to who will take all the phone.
This is the actual queue:
1- teihoata: display
2- bingoz : power button circuit

How much for the whole set? Does it still have the accessories from the box?
100 Euro?
Im from the Philippines
send me a PM with your price along with shipping

for me it's ok.
i have the full box with everything.
shipping cost amount at 63 euro.ì, with assurance option included ( 5,68 euro ).
you can check also by yourself at this website ( postal service ):
http://www.poste.it/online/paccocelerein/application/privati/index.html
so the total it's 163 euro.
i think it's the cheapest way.

How about the battery cover? My lens on the back battery cover is cracked and I need to get it replaced.
It would be much appreicated!

well, i dunno. anyway tomorrow a guy here will bring the entire phone.
i prefer to sell everything if it's possible.
if tomorrow i will not complete the transaction, i will start to give the spare parts to you all asked already, and we will set a price toghether.
ok?
thanks to everyone.

I'm interested in the battery/chassis if you end up parting out.

I want the aluminum frame ((the lighter gray portion)) if you part it out.

my apologize, but as i wrote before, i prefer to sell it all, i mean entire phone not some parts at time.
i sell it already some days ago.
thanks to everyone anyway.

[Q] Broken LCD Glass :(

Anyone know where I can get a replacement LCD glass for my Desire HD
I believe it's just the glass as the screen seems to still work.
If there's a place in or around London that can replace it for me even better, if not anyone know how difficult it is to replace.
I've noticed a few places on Ebay (China/HK) selling digitizers and complete LCD's but ideally I want somewhere in the UK.
thanks

Hi,
I went through a similar experience less than 2 weeks ago, you can even see images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834335
I rang around several places, none could commit to using GENUINE HTC parts. The only people I found were: www.htcrepairs.co.uk/ - and they even offer a walk in service whereas I found most others did not.
Unfortunately they don't have the parts I require in stock, maybe you can try them.
At the moment, they're the only people I've found in the London area that I'd be willing to give my phone in to...
Did you have any luck with finding anyone else?

Maybe contacting HTC? They can probably repair it for you but it can be pretty expensive though.
Maybe you got some pics?

You could try, as said above, get the glass/screen from eBay.
Repaired my SE K800i with it, where the glass could easily be removed and the new one could be installed within 5minutes.
Don't know how the HTC will disassemble though.

I'm going to try this place on the way home from work: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk I'll let you know how they go. They've got the parts and will charge me £60 for either the lcd or digitzer including fitting.

Here's some pictures. I think they'll get away with just fixing the glass, although it looks bad the lcd still seems to work ok.
Can anyone recommend a case surround?

How did it go?
Did they fix it whilst you wait, or retain the device to work on for a day or two?
More importantly, are they using genuine HTC parts ?

They fix while you wait, they're near Staples Corner (which is a bit of a walk from the tube at Brent Cross).
I need to go back tonight as they messed up and thought I had a Desire and not a HD, they're hoping to get the HD part in today, they're charging me the Desire price.
According to their website they use official parts, but who knows.
Warranty
* We give 3 months warranty on every repair excluding liquid / water damage and physical damage
* Every warranty handset is security sealed. Tampering with the security seal will void the warranty LCD / SCREEN warranty. We fit original screens only and they are security labeled
* Every handset is tested for 24 hours and comes with engineers report

I plan to visit these SPS guys tonight. Lets hope they manage to fix my phone.
I'm hoping to wait around so I can ensure genuine parts are used...

SPS didn't manage to get a Desire HD digitizer for me, they've got 1 on order. They're a little difficult to find (at least they were in the dark) they're behind Staples industrial state, in room 207, small little office. They seemed ok though they.

I'm back!
Got my Legend fixed earlier this evening by these guys: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk/
They were one of few who were adament they use genuine parts [they allowed me to inspect the parts before installation] AND allowed me to wait whilst they work on it.
Abolutely disgusting/poor customer service and general attitute towards their customers... though the main thing is my Legend is all well again !
Oh, it cost £70 for display + digitizer + installation.

Thanks but I do not see a complete teardown guide yet. Looks like the guys on the other thread are working on it but nothing detailed enough. I need to know how to replace the digitizer, looks like not body knows how to do it yet.

I'm freaking out because I have no idea how to do this and I spent 45 dollars to replace it! Can someone please help!? PLEASE! =[

That shows me the connector strap....but all is not lost.
I opened mine.
There's two small screws up top on either corner.
Two just below the battery pocket on either side and two on the bottom corners.
It looks like there may be a hidden one in the battery pocket,next to the contact terminals,under a round dot sticker.
They look like they may be #4 Torx head .. just a guess.
Get those out [remember their positions] and it should be fairly easy.

take it back to the shop and get it fixed?

If you lived in the Oklahoma City area I'd say bring it in to my shop & I'd get you all fixed up(I'm a phone/computer/game console repair tech) but I dunno what area you're in, so... Replacing screens is generally pretty easy but I REALLY recommend you take it to a phone shop if you don't know how to do it. These phones are extremely delicate & you could break it VERY easily with one wrong move. But if you insist on doing it yourself, this should hopefully help you out some with getting it apart- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7gt1EnN3w It's kind of fast & ****ty, but it's the only teardown vid I could find.
FYI- digitizers are stuck on with special double-stick adhesive that holds it in place over the LCD, so make sure the one you bought came with a new piece of adhesive because you can't reuse the old one(unless you're VERY careful) & the screen won't stay on w/o it. You'll wanna use a heat gun on a low setting or a hot hairdryer to get the old digitizer off too. And of course, be mindful of dust.

I just did exactly this repair and took some footage while doing it. Excuse the crappy voiceover.
On youtube.com go to watch?v=T5bWl73O9ss Or just search for HTC Sensation Screen Repair
Apparently my old account was disabled so I had to sign up again. Now I can't post a single URL. Hope someone else can make that linkable.

This one?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5bWl73O9ss

if you've never done that before, I suggest (as I do to all my customers to save pain and money) find someone with knowhow, and kindly ask to look over their shoulder. this has worked for me on many many occasions. I know know how to windshield chip repair for one (although completely unrelated)

[Q] Cracked my Screen! Looking for replacement

Hey guys my screen has been broken brutally.. My younger brother just threw it away!
So the touch doesnt work now but i guess everything else is fine. The volume and power buttons work fine. But the tough or the capactive buttons dont respond.
From what i have researched since the touch and the lcd are glued both will have to be replaced together. So i researched and found an estimate of 65$ for a new digitizer + LCD. Now the problem is even if i order the tough and lcd i dont know how to fix it. I saw the ifixit teardown but dont really understand much since there are no detailed steps in it.
I am not going to repair it myself, will repair it from a local repairer but i am pretty sure around here people dont even know what this phone is, so i dont wanna risk directly handing over it to them. If anyone of you all could guide me with a step by step procedure it would be a greattt help! Please help me guys want a good solution for this precious phone!
P.S i dont wanna send it to Oneplus since only the shipping would cost me around 100$ and 100$ more for the screen replacement.
and please dont advice about how i should have taken better care! I had applied a nilkin tempered glass protector but since it hit the wall at the sides it dint really help!
I should have had a case! </3 i was on my way to buy one
Step 1: Open The Back cover
Step 2. Remove the screws
Step 3: ...... please guide me about how to proceed with detaching the screen.
i would b glad to share one of my sharable invites with you if you help me with it or a video would be just paradise! :good:

I
Where do you found LCD + digitizer for only 65$??
The less expansive i've found is on ali and it's around 125$...
I'm interested too as i broke my oneplus as you did... Except it wasn't my little brother who thrown it away, it was only me letting it down to the floor...
I think, about the procedure shown in ifixit, it is doable fixing the broken screen... It just seems to ask proper tools ans patience... And a heat gun... (Or hair dryer!!)

Procedure?

ifixit doesnt show any procedure.. m pretty sure you dont need to go through the first 19 steps before you an finally dettach the screen. As far as i know most of the steps mentioned in the middle are not required. So i want someone to assist me with the required steps.
heat gun? i dont think its needed that would be needed if the digitzer and lcd were seprate. Since thats not the case it should be even easier. Oh yes we need the right tools but i guess a local repairer would have them anyway. i would just want the procedure so i could guide him since he wont know about the procedure, about this specific device
I got the 65$ one from ali express too,
go to the site and search for oneplus one digitizer. There are a list of options. Cant post links!

I don't think that you will find someone who can help you. You will need detailed instructions and images, and I don't think anyone has documented a thorough disassembly yet. You can check on YouTube, it's been a while since I've checked myself. I did disassemble one of my OnePlus One's a few weeks ago because the motor was malfunctioning, but instead of trying to fix it I simply returned it for a refund.

I just need to know how is the screen attached

i dont wanna know all the steps. I just wanna know how is the screen attached. I think it should over all be pretty standard for all phones. So should not be much stress for a local repairer. And from what i have read when the digitizer + lcd are glued it is a very easy job to replace them together. I just want to be sure from my side that say the screen needs to be attached the same way that a Galaxy S2 display is attached to the phone. Then i can just ask the repairer if he would have known how to repair a GSII.
I really cant ship it back to OPO its gonna be almost as much expensive as buying a new One!

Did you only buy the digitizer? You should have bought the screen and digitizer that are already fused. It is absurdly difficult to take off only digitizer and broken glass cleanly. Believe me, I've been repairing things all my life and this is one of the hardest things to fix.

I haven't bought it yet. But dont worry i will b buying the digitizer and the LCD that are already fused together.
But even attaching to the phone is also kind of a challenge right?

guys,
Anyone please suggest regarding how durable and trustworthy are these digitizer +lcd combo that are available on ebay.in?
Can i purchase them? I broke the screen badly and waiting for a replacement. Found a replacement on ebay.in for apprx 100$. Thats fine with me but need suggestions from users who already tried using these screens...? can i go ahead and get it done from a repair shop?

[Completed] [Q] Stripes on my screen

I used my Galaxy note 2 for 1 year and just these days when the screen is turned on, I can see stripes on the screen.
It's obviously and ugly. I've had it! I didn't take pictures but i searched the similar pic attached, it's vertical lines on the screen.
I bought it to repair shop and they said that i need to replace my LCD screen and digitizer assembly. It will cost me $250, if i agree.
So, What's the problem of my phone? anyone knows? Or Is it possible to repair it by myself? I don't want to pay so much money .
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately you don't have many options, you're dealing with a hardware failure.
Option 1:
Pay for the repair to be done.
Option 2:
Do some research and undertake the repair yourself (consider this very carefully, quite often when an unexperienced person attempts something like this they do more damage than good).
Option 3:
Put up with it.
