So I take care of my phones, pristine condition!
I left my phone on the coffee table, and no less than 5 minutes later, my dog decides to be insanely hyper and wacks it with his tail about 10 feet across the room....
It shouldn't have broken as the room is carpeted, but I think it hit the screen on the corner of my entertainment center.
In other words, it's completely smashed. The screen still works and responds to inputs just fine, everything else is perfect, just a shattered screen...
So would it be cheaper/better/faster etc. to sell it on ebay and just buy a new one, or send it in to have the screen repaired?
Or how easy is it to replace it myself, and where would I buy a new screen?
On ebay you can get lcd assembly for around 120 USD.
And watch tear-down video (Le55ons on youtube) about Nexus 5

you can decide for yourself if you can do it.
Is that much of a difference in cost than sending it in?

I would get a new one regardless of cost.

Well, on top of the replacement cost you will pay labor/shipping ... So, you might be better at the end just buying new device
Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do then. Buy a new one and hope to get some decent recovery selling this one on ebay for parts or something....

about 2-3 months ago i was getting 400-585 for mint condition nexus ones with the box.(usually 500 + easy)
im a phone reseller and was using ebay.
im unsure what the nexus market is like right now.
but if i were you, go to ebay, enter nexus one and see....
i wouldnt do a buy it not.
start the phone at .99 cents, no reserve and let it go for the full 7 days.
list it around 7 or 8 pm so it will end around 7-8 pm when more ppl are at home and not working.
good luck.

good advice and i expect you will get at least 400 for it and as much as 500 with all the accessories you have with it.
They do hold there value. I got $350 for mine with a broken power button and no box.
What are HTC giving out as warranty replacements?
My Sensation is back into HTC for its third repair in 3 weeks
If they fail, its replacement, what are HTC UK giving out as warranty replacements as new sensations no longer seem to be available?
I had a warranty replacement last week and it was the Sensation so they must still be producing them?!
I bets they a shelf somewhere with a couple dozen on it.
Was it sealed brand new?

It wasn't sealed no but it had the nice film that is on it when you buy it brand new not just the crappy screen protector that they put on it when they send you back a repaired phone, so my guess is that it is brand new. Out of curiosity what was the problem that you had?

Unlucky man, I hope that HTC will actually replace your phone! I had to go through a massive amount of trouble to get HTC to cough up and give me a new device, in the end I had a massive rant to one of the call centre supervisors and they sent me a new phone
HTC tracking saying repair complete
bets on it not being ?
grumble grumble
they've sent the phone back sim locked, I sent it sim unlocked
and the IMEI's are now all to ****
The IMEI on the box does not match the sticker on the phone and the IMEI in the phone does not match the other two.
ffs HTC
how the hell could I ever sell this phone if I wanted too?
and now
And now the wifi is screwing up again like at the very start of the faults
white screens and refusal to start
And it locked up on Netflix after 15 minutes of video and buzzed at me till I pulled the battery.
replacement approved
it will be a sensation built in the UK repair centre from new parts AND USED PARTS !!!

outlined in red ( phots not that great but you can see the mark that doesn't move regardless of whats on screen) - highly irritating now i know its there, my eyes are drawn to it. would this be a RMA job?
Yeah, its kind of tough when it's near the middle of the screen like that. It really depends on how much it bothers you. Mine just came in the mail an hour ago and after playing around a little, noticed 1 small dead pixel on bottom right of screen. It's kind of gray, not black. But I'm not really noticing it, I have to really look for it and even then it's hard to see. My phone is otherwise perfect - no vibration issues, power button is solid, etc. I think I'll just keep it.

Yeah I would rma it. That would do definitely bother me.

I have a speck of something in almost exactly the same place. RMA won't be shipped until December 3. Hope the replacement doesn't have this issue.

its a dead pixel, mate
Its dead pixels. I had two of this massive dead pixels on my iphone 5 and the apple genius guys replaced it with a new one.
You should definately RMA it and get it replaced. I was planning to buy a nexus 5 myself but have been getting negative feedback on the speaker quality and the dead pixels issue hence I think I will either wait for the LG G2 Mini or something else.
USA Seller 2800mAh OEM Battery +Charger For Samsung Galaxy S5 Active G870 G870A
Do not buy or you might be disappointed. I got it today and found the label peeling off, and when I stuck it back on, it started to cover the printing.

Regrettably that it really isn't. I never had a problem with batteries marked OEM. But I guess the good news the seller refunded me the money and said to keep it our toss it out. There are still a few who believe in truth in advertising. I have reported the seller to eBay. But I doubt anything comes from that. If they don't say OEM, I know I am taking a chance to save a few bucks.

I thought everyone knows eBay batteries are junk guess I was wrong.

I have buying them for years, never a problem. I normally notice the little details, like the waves missing in the battery. (The NFC antenna) but failed this time. But at least I got my money back. If I wanted cheap Chinese batteries, I would have bought the ones for five bucks.

eBay is full of knock offs for things like batteries. Just gotta find a legit seller and stick to it.

There is a few legit sellers, my mistake was not looking at my saved sellers list. A mistake I am not about to repeat twice, even though this time really didn't cost me anything...
Hello there.
General all around inquiry:
I bought a White LG G2 for USD$629 off-contract from AT&T (D800) on December 2, 2013. Right now it’s unlocked but still, LTE bands are those from AT&T (AWS). I dropped it, and screen cracked and digitizer stopped working for half the screen. I bought the repair kit from Fixez for USD$65. Everything else is as good as it can be.
How much can I sell it for? I want to be straight here, it’s okay if there are no “winnings” for me. I just want to be fair to the person that already made me the offer to buy it from me.
If you fix it, you should he able to get 200. You may get more selling online but fees, fees and more fees will net around same.
Most people don't want to buy it with cracked screen even if it comes with the screen on side. Glws

Yes, that’s kind of the price point I was aiming at.
Thank you very much for your answer.

I just bought one with a cracked screen off the bay for 50 bucks! I need the logic (mother) board out of it...
USD$50? Holy cow. Must have been trashed. Mine was only a small cracked line, and well, the top 50% of the touch controls not working.
I ended up selling mine for USD$200.
Thank you for the help!
