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.

ok i added some pics that i took right now.
maybe someone can find useful my dead phone for replace some components.

maybe i can remount the n1 and turn it on and took a pic to let you see that it is perfect.
as you want.

Hi, can you send me the power button circuit? mine has stop function for long time. I'm living in Vietnam and there's no HTC warranty here. So will you please help me?
Sorry for my bad English.

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.

Spare parts inside....

Hello everyone, I considered putting this in the marketplace but it makes 100% more sense to have it here.
I'm selling my faulty nexus one for spare parts so if anyone needs a part of the phone (except the PCB that the microusb sits on)
give me a PM and we can come to some sort of arrangement, obviously undercutting ebay prices lol.
for example... lcd replacement, digitizer or camera, speaker, volume buttons etc.

I've got a weird one to ask about....
What about the bottom soft touch cover (that goes over the usb port)?

do you have the little black plastic piece that covers the bottom pcb? its got the little vibrator connected to it.
Mine is like slowing down and isnt as powerful and i think its the reason for my haptic feedback dying

Hi, may I have the camera module, the flash module and the power/volume buttons? how much for them? also, can u send them to colombia? thx!
If not, I got a friend in USA who will receive them!
edit: and usb cable and charger!! I know, I've been very bad with my N1

Hi Magacamz! I wonder if you still have your LCD Replacement? For how much are you expecting to sell it? Would you send it using USPS International? If positive, we can arrange using Paypal or something similar...
Tnks!

It is literally the piece that goes over the USB port and gold power connectors on the bottom of the phone. It's the same material as the battery cover.

[Q] Digitizer not working after reassembly

Hi everyone.
So i tried to replace the cracked screen in a Moto G (I just replaced the display+digitizer+glass module). After the reassembly everything worked except for the digitizer (it worked before when i tested it). I tried to reconnect the digitizer connector (the tiny one which connects the digitizer controller to the display connector ) multiple times, but nothing worked. Has anyone faced a similar problem before?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.
In my case, it's my second screen, so I've already eliminated the screen+digitizer and the cable connector like the origin of the problem.
Has anyone any idea?
Thanks!
PS: Ening, did you get to solve your issue?

much sad

Bad news. My digitizer cable is damaged. On both original phone and the donor. I was not careful enough: the closer inspection showed it. I am going to order another screen or a donor phone (like a used verizon one or something) and try it again.
So the thing is that the video on etradesupply shows it wrong. You have to unstick the tape covering the digitizer cable connector, then unsnap the clicky thing, and only after that should you unplug the screen master cable (the one that goes into your PCB). Otherwise, it is very easy to damage the touchscreen controller cable (the digitizer one).
I really hope you have a different problem and there is still hope for your phone :crying:

Hi Ening,
How do you check the veracity of the cable connector failure? I think I have the same problem than you, but I haven't a way to check it 100%, because I haven't anyone who can lend other screen to me, and the original screen it's now completely destroyed.
I suppose that I will have to send back the screen to the seller and ask for another.
Thanks anyway!

Hi, i gave the phones to a guy in a repair shop and he looked at it through a magnifying glass

agnobi, I have exactly the same problem, but tested several digitizers and same problem
see my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/black-screen-backlight-ok-screen-t2803431
did you solve your problem ?

The flex cable part that connects the controller to the rest of the cable is very thin and easy to damage, you've to be very careful or you're gonna screw it (like the OP did).
ofcourse there is a slight possibility that it came defective, but you should have checked it right when it arrived. So far I haven't seen any incomparable ones, but who knows.....

I think there is something else.
On my side, the 3 digitizers (old one + 2 new) give me same result.
The I think the problem should be on the mainboard or a hardware/software blocking ... or maybe something we didn't re-assemble well
and little question : what is the role of this part (see my photo) ???

Probably the last :>
That thin metal plate makes connections on the back of the PCB (its mounted right between the display and the PCB) and I think it connects to mass.I got no idea what it's role is (prolly its a fitting or some sort of heatspreader).I've assembled one phone without it and it worked just fine, but I've put it back afterwards, just for the sake of being complete

and your digitizer works fine ?
I think also that the issue comes from the connection PCB-patch or as you said software digitizer blocking.
So I 'll try to flash a retail rom to see it .... ...... The digitizer still not working

I've replaced 9 digitizers on 9 different moto g's.None of em had any kind of these problems.This leads me to the conclusion that you've done something wrong.
The worst I had is 1 dead pixel on one of the new displays ( I'm using digitizer+display+frame assembly ).

very interesting your experience ...
the strange thing is that we are several persons to have the same problem and the same symptoms ...:silly:

I've unsnapped the connector as they said in the video of etradesupply...
Maybe I've forgotten something.... you have followed this video ?
Edit :My screens are working except for the digitizer.

I've also reflashed a stock ROM ... no change
so it's not software/firmware related ...
so it's hardware

Never, all worked the first time and afaik they are still working fine.Gotta mention that the ones I`ve used are chinise ones, but look and feel like the original, even the glass feels like gorilla glass 3, altough I don't believe that's the case :>

I have a huge scratch down my screen and the local mobile repairing guy quoted £55 to replace.. I thought this was a bit steep.. I expect him to use real gorrila glass 3 @ that price
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free mobile app

finally I've just fix my digitizer
It was 1 or 2 pin twisted on the right so there wasn't a contact between the PCB and the patch....
denseye I think your black screen can be fixed, you may see the pin on the left...." Bon courage " PM me if you have questions....
I've got now my earpiece which crackle but I thinks I'll not try to fix it....
Good night

You mean a pin on the pcb connector where thé LCD câble goes? (Français???)

A pin means a spindle which links the patch(LCD câble) to the PCB.There are many pins which compose thé connector.

No display on nexus 5 even after screen change

Recently, I purchased a Nexus 5 from a friend. The screen was completely shattered and nothing would appear on the display, but my computer was able to recognize the device. This morning I replaced the screen with a new one, however, there is still nothing appearing on the display even though the computer recognizes it and there is still life left inside of it.
Is there anything I am missing? I rechecked that everything is plugged in correctly several times and still nothing. I was thinking of replacing the flex cable, but I am low on funds so I don't want to waste money if its not going to work.
Attached, are photo's of the device.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

did you replace just the screen or the whole Assembly with the lcd and digitzer?

Yes, the entire assembly has been replaced which includes the LCD and digitizer.
Once again, I'm thinking its the flex cable as bad flex cables I've had with other phones have affected the functionality of the device.

It was not.
In a nutshell, my original question was basically 'could there be another problem with the Nexus 5 that I am unaware of?' which was not answered.
The second poster simply asked me if I replaced the LCD and digitizer assembly in its entirety.
The third poster is me posting my suspicious about which piece of hardware is causing the trouble.

Oh sorry you said flex cable. I was on my app. My apologies. Honestly it could be the flex cable. I replaced the screen in my Droid 3 and it didn't work because the flex cable was damaged.

Based on your photos it looks like what you replaced should have bean sufficient but of course with electrical components who knows... I wouldn't rule out a dead replacement display either. I'm in the middle of a similar situation, returning my replacement display today and trying another.

Could be a number of things with that physical damage, not just the screen

So you were able to get a display after you changed the flex cable?
The odd thing though is that I'm still able to charge the phone...the flex cable also holds the usb port.
Anyway, I've ordered a new one so we'll see what happens.

If anyone was wondering the screen still does not work with the new flex cable. I'm assuming its a motherboard issue and am just going to sell it on eBay.
Before than, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought it from him for a very cheap price ($30US). Even with it broken, I can still get more for it by selling it on eBay than I can by getting my money back.

Try to make preassure on the wide connector on the motherboard. If display backlights or displays temporarily it's micro distached pins between connector and motherboard. Heat Air is the easy solution! In my case I used hot air heatgun 350°C and 10sec on row near edge of the board. The solder melts and at that time PUT slight PREASSURE down to the connector for few seconds! It makes the legs got proper contact to the pads on the board. Solves problems with Mic and Loudspeaker too becouse it relay on this wide connector.
Good luck Tomáš

Nexus 5 Broken, Not Sure What Damage, Would Appreciate a Quick Diagnosis!

Hey All,
I recently dropped my nexus 5, however there is no screen damage, there is still damage to be noticed. On the screen itself, there are numerous vertical lines, disallowing me from actually using the phone. I've been able to connect a USB OTG mouse and connect to my chromecast which works fine.
Again, the screen itself has to visible physical damage. Could the GPU be broken? I'm really confused.
Here's a link to the damage: http://imgur.com/5weAP2Z

I think you broke the LCD panel (/liquid crystal)l behind the front glass, that's why you don't see any damage on the screen.

Thank you for the response. So would I need to do an entire digitizer + Lcd replacement costing me around $100ish? And would that fix the issue?

Your actual gpu/image processing works since u were able to use it on chromecast.
Since it was a drop there are a number of things that could have gone wrong . In order from cheap to expensive it's flex cable , lcd , motherboard. The fact that you can use screencast , and the lack of touchscreen response could mean the screen is broken and not the mainboard. But again could.
If you could get a temporary replacement screen for test you could diagnose it and see if you keep the screen/buy one or scrap the phone.

Thank you everyone for the responses!
