Hey all,
Unfortunately my S7 is a goner, stuck in a loop, screen freezes, overheating, flashing worked but still no dice, can barely get into the recovery menu.
Still like my S7 so looking for a replacement. There's lots on kijiji or craigslist but I rather have new old stock.
I have a replacement motherboard from eBay underway (SM-G930W8) but it's a refurb too. I asked a few repair shops around here but none do motherboard replacements.
Anyone know a retailer that still sells them new in box with warranty? Or does anyone know an address when can buy a new OEM motherboard?
Thanks!

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.
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.
Hi guys
My z3 died while snorkeling in the sea. Now it turns on when power is connected but keeps power cycling showing only the sony and xperia logos. One time it was showing the battery charging icon and vibrating.
I took it to the shop under warranty and they quoted $500 for a replacement motherboard, stating that they tried it in another phone and it was completely dead.
I couldn't find any prices online and I'm wondering what's the best option.
Any advice appreciated
That sucks. You can try aliexpress for motherboards but I am not sure if you'll be able to find one as Z3 is fairly new. All i'm able to find are the screen digitizers and back panels for the Z3. You can always order one from online retailers and DIY. Just to save some bucks coz $500 is fairly expensive.
Yeah but finding the online retailer is difficult
hello, i recently cracked my z3's screen digitizer, and i intend to replace the whole screen assembly, since replacing the digitizer only sounds like an extremely hard task.
i have gone through aliexpress, amazon/ebay us.uk sites, but i can't find a trustworthy OEM seller, they're all either aftermarket refurbished or completely defective fake .
so can anyone please tell me from where can i order online to get an OEM parts for my phone ? getting local repair is out of the question, they want to charge me 300$ and sony authorized re seller wants 350$....
please, any suggestion would be helpful .
I bought the screen digitizer from etrade supply. I will have someone attempt to replace 4-5 days from now. I'll let you know how it goes.
thank you !!!
Hey guys, always wanted a G Pro 2 and now that they're so cheap on ebay I figured I can finally get one, but it seems like they could be factory seconds or refurbished going off the some of the feedback claiming the phones are faulty from a few sellers. Anyone here got their F350 off ebay?
Cheers
I got few refurbished LG G2 F320. Depends on the seller. I have good and bad experiences with refurbished LG's. Some of them were without any problem, but some of them with bad screens, bad buttons, no 3G and 4G etc. Most of them are with bad second hand screens, loose touchscreens, no original battery, no original accessories etc... But if you find a good seller with good reputation, and a price from 160 to 180 us$ 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?
