Hi guys,
I've dropped my phone in the water a couple weeks back. I put it in rice right after for 24 hours after I opened it up and took out most of the water, which wasn't that much because of my case. A couple of weeks after this my earpiece stopped working so it probably has water damage (no other damage to be found). I just can't find a replacement part. Anybody know where I can get the piezoelectric earpiece module?
Thanks in advance
No one?
Glad to hear the rest of the phone still works. Have you already tried aliexpress?
These don't look right to me from memory, but you'd know better.
If you can't find it, I would try contacting some of the sellers who sell multiple parts for the Mix with a picture of what you want.

It was a sad day indeed when my screen cracked. I had it in my jacket pocket and when I went to get out of my car *crunch* and my heart dropped.
I cracked the LCD just above where the hard keys are, and it sent cracks pretty much all over it.
No problem, I thought. I'll just order a new LCD/Digitizer and replace it.
I got a used one from Hong Kong on Ebay for $20 (showed up in 10 days, pretty fast for HK!)
Checked the manual went through all the steps and got as far as having the front panel detached from the keypad at which point I decided that this was just too friggin' much and I was entirely out of my league of being able to fix this.
With a fear of completely and utterly bricking my phone I put everything back together and crossed my fingers that it would still work when it was re-assembled....naturally when I was putting the back part of the phone on the speaker wires also broke off right where they attach to that little white piece. My efforts to re-attach them failed.
So I'm contemplating selling it to recoop some of the cost on a new phone (looking at the Tilt2) but I'm not really sure what I can expect to get for it. I see people selling totally broke ones on ebay for upwards of $100. I could include the LCD/Digitizer that I have as well, so that someone more technically savvy than I could easily repair it.
Other than the cracked screen and the lack of a speaker for audio the phone is otherwise totally functional. If anyone has any input or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you still have the phone and want to get rid of it, please PM me... I need some parts for me Fuze

You need to google for a eris digitizer.

i think u can get them for like 40+ dollars off ebay
If you don't mind the long shipping times, you can get a digitizer + the entire housing together for around $60 on ebay. Doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.

Zombie post . . . sorry about that. Need to remember to look at dates before replying.

I just replace mine, and is wasn't too bad. There is videos on YouTube about how to do it. It took me about an hour, and the part costs about 40 bucks. If you need any help with it, feel free to email me [email protected]

you can get one @ 49usd

I'm going through the same thing. Amazon has some digitizers for about $40. I decided to spend the extra $20 and get this instead
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F5CEDW
It's the whole casing. I didn't want to bother with stripping the digitzer off the frame which is glued on. With replacing the whole body, you just move the mainboard over and plug everything back in. At least this is my hope. I'll post here again when the thing actually arrives. I ordered it two weeks ago and it probably won't be here until mid March.
Good luck with whatever you decided to go with.
UPDATE. hmmm october was the post date. I guess this guy has long taken care of his problem
Are there any particular tools needed? I swear my other half is on a mission to destroy her phone. It'd be good to know how to do some of the possible DIY stuff.

There's Youtube videos for disassembly. I haven't watched them myself, but I know they exist, so they probably tell you what tools you need there. From what I remember hearing, just some small torx screwdrivers, or maybe some small phillips, too, but don't quote me on those.
Here is a link to the teardown video I followed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHwm-32BI0w
The amazon link in my previous post is what I bought. It was the whole body. There are just screen replacements but I didn't want to mess with that because the digitizer is glued to the front piece. I didn't want to risk warping or breaking the front piece and completely screwing myself over. Anyway, what I bought came with the tools you need to perform the teardown and an extra screwdriver that was not needed.
I am glad I did this. However, it came with it's share of issues.
-The very top of my digitizer does not work. As a result, I can't pull down the notification bar. I can get to it through the menu button but it is annoying.
-I had to move the ear speaker and loudspeaker over. They were glued to some foam which was stuck/glued to the chassis. That foam absorbed the vibration. When my phone rings loud it is nasty because the speaker is bouncing around. I tried to cut some foam myself to replace what was stuck in the old case. It helped but it's not perfect.
-There are some rubber buffers? Isolators? Not sure what their called which also needed to be moved over form the old case.
-It took a month to ship to my house. After discovering these issues, I am kind've stuck with them because it would take a month to send the parts back and another month to get a replacement. By then I'll be due for a new phone.
So that's my experience of replacing the whole case.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
My pleasure. Glad to help out.

To add to this, because I'm sure there are others out there like me who intend to use their Eris until it gets run over, dropped in lava, drawn, quartered, and defecated upon . . .
I ordered the same replacement housing and digitizer as mentioned above, and had 2 small problems:
The housing I got had a nut in it that came loose, so that one of the corners wasn't able to reassemble properly.
There was something different in the new housing that caused the proximity sensor to function incorrectly.
For #1, I just used some super glue to weld the nut into place. This appears to have worked OK, but I fear that the point is weakened now and I will need to be very gentle if I disassemble the phone again.
For #2, The problem was that the housing was allowing bleed through inside the case from the proximity flasher to the light sensor, which caused the sensor to determine that there was something close to it when in fact there wasn't. I placed a small (oh so small) piece of electrical tape into the housing between where the IR flasher and sensor are located, and the problem was resolved.
If presented with the option of purchasing a new digitizer alone, or a new digitizer and housing together, follow groovel76's suggestion; it's well worth the time and money to go with the latter. The hassle of cleaning the old adhesive off of the new housing, and the risks of getting new adhesive in places where you don't want it far outweigh the cost of just getting a housing with adhesive pre-applied. I tried to do just a digitizer first, and ended up with a small amount of super glue (DO NOT RECOMMEND) getting on the new screen and the edge of the housing, as well as a screen that didn't seat properly because I didn't get quite all of the old bits out of the old housing. This resulted in dust getting under the screen and another crack when I attempted to fix what I'd screwed up the first time.
Between the availability of parts and ROMs for this phone, I see it being in my family for a LONG time yet.
Yes! Buy a digitizer online (most come with the tools you need such as the torx screwdrivers, mine did) and search for videos on youtube. That's what I did and it only cost me $37 for the digitizer and about 30 minutes of my time. And it worked perfectly as new when I got it all back together.
Hey Guys,
I've searched the forum to no avail and was wondering if anyone knew where all the water damage stickers on the phone are located. I know there's one behind the battery and one on the battery itself. Are there any others I can see for myself?
I'm asking because I seem to have damaged my phone while applying a wet skin protector. After applying it my speaker has been popping and crackling more than a box of rice crispies. However those 2 water damage stickers have not been tripped (or i don't think they have -- still show red x's and no bleeding). Thankfully I have insurance and was wondering if I should take it to a verizon store and have them examine it or if I should just go directly through Asurion.
It's been 2 days now and the problem has persisted -- do you think the old rice treatment will help at all at this point? Thanks for your input, love the forums and the community.

Rice treatment will probably not work. And if the placement are anything similar to how Apple does it, than they put the water stickers on top of screws inside the phone on the mother board.

So, last night, sitting on my concrete balcony I fumbled and knock my N8013 off the table. smacked the concrete and cracked the digitizer screen right down the middle, scuffing up the frame a good deal.
Already disassembled and have found the digitizer screens ($25 from Hong Kong, $30 in USA), so no problem there. But, I want to replace the scuffed up frame too, as that will drive me crazy, not to mention lower the resale value later on.
Can't find them. Anyone have any sources for these parts? ETrade is no go. Not finding anything on ebay either.
Help!

Oddly, I was looking up this exact thing earlier today and found this: http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OE...1-N8013-Housing-Frame-p/smn8013hsg3blu-qs.htm
Mine's just cracked, so don't know if I'll go through the trouble of replacing it. But hope this is what you were looking for.
EDIT: Oh, sorry, just noticed it's out of stock. I'll keep looking around, though, and let you know if I find anything.
So, there's this link, too. It says it's for a white one, but given it's just the frame, I don't know what that could be referring to. This doesn't say it's out of stock. Looks like the same part as the other link. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OE...1-N8013-Housing-Frame-p/smn8013hsg3wht-qs.htm

You are my hero. As to the White that looks "blue", I bet it is white and just the picture. but this provides me hope. I may order and wait the 29 days. If I find something I will post. Please do the same. Am going to order the digitizer in the meantime.
Thank you So Much.
What I did in the meantime thinking I had to keep it was sand all the silver (Blue?) off it, figuring it looked better than with the scuff and nicks. don't want to use it though.
As expected, they do not have the frames. I just ordered it from Global Direct Parts and a roll of double-sided tape that I hope will replace the tape that holds the digitizer to the frame.
Thanks again for the lead and good luck with your repairs.
Well, ordered the digitizer screen from All4Cellular. Emailed them asking about the Frame, but I doubt it. they had few parts
Just an update. Got the digitizer screen over a week ago and have had the Note back in operation, but not permanently closed as I wait for the frame that you lead me to. The frame is now due on Tuesday I will have my tablet back and properly fixed.
Thanks again.
Hi there,
I replaced my broken screen with a screen+frame which has the grill on the screen. However, after replacement, I can not hear any sound when somebody calls me. I need to use the speaker or the earphones to talk to somebody, pretty annoying. Do you have any idea what I did wrong or missing?
Thanks.

Did the speaker grill have any coating or covering on the inside? Perhaps you either disconnected or tore a ribbon cable that was connected to the speaker (if there was one)? I had similar issues with my screen replacement, but had issues with no cellular signal. I'm going to have to take mine apart again to investigate. I would suggest the same for you...

Hey, I had the same problem when I first replaced. The solution is easy. I forgot to plug in one of the cables which apparently increases the cellular signal. See the pictures attached.
I can not open the grill, for the sake of not opening the screen from the frame I bought the screen with frame and grill. So this defeats whole purpose.
Anybody has any idea about it? Is there a special connection for earpiece speaker?
Are you sure you have the ear speaker installed ? I don't think you have to open the screen to change the speaker.
In step 19 in the iFixit guide they remove the speaker BEFORE they remove the screen.
By the way where did you ordered the screen + mid frame? How is the rest of the quality ?

Hey Thanks for this. I installed it as well but still not working, interesting. I'm going to reopen try to fit it again.
I bought it from here: aliexpress.com/snapshot/6480736262.html?orderId=65692759745232 - DHL sent me the item in less than one week.
There is also alternative: vifocal.com/lcd-display-digitizer-replacement-with-middle-frame-for-oneplus-one-64gb-16gb.html
Quality is ok, I had ghost swipes before. It's not happening any more. Maybe because of software fixes (I'm on CM12 nightly, Lollipop). Apart from that, the colors are a lil bit washed out. I got used to anyways Sometimes under bright light (outdoors afternoon), greens look so weird. Overall I'm satisfied because I dropped the phone a lot in the past and mid frame was full of scratches. Now I have new mid frame.
Here they said the ear speaker is extremely fragile so i think it's
possible you broke it.
How is the speaker connected anyway ? I diddn't find any connector in the teardown.

So it's obviously not the original one :crying:
But contact the seller that you didn't get an original one. You can get a refund. And write him a bad critic on aliexpress that it is not original so he can't trick more people.

it might not be the original one but it saved me from the time without any phones. I gave him a good rating etc. Asking for refund would be unfair in my opinion.
Yes I also saw that xda recommendation, maybe I broke it I don't know. WIll give it a try tonite. Ordered an earpiece speaker just in case from the aliexpress for 6 bucks, but i'm sure it will take at least 1 month to arrive.

Thanks everyone, I solved the problem by putting the speaker unit horizontally 180 degree flipped and it started working.
Nice :good:
