this may be a stupid question but,does the battery cover come off the back of a display model captivate? i need a battery cover and cant find one. i found a display model on ebay and it says might be able to use for parts but device doesnt power on or operate. thx in advance for any responses
Probly not. If it came off, it wouldn't do any good as a display model as someone would probly take it or something, unless its one of the working models then it might.

If its a wallmart type display then no. I tried to take one apart before I bought one. Same with best buy or radio shack, they have the same type of models. Just solid cases with home screen pics on the screen.

I have a Motorola Telus Milestone that I am using on AT&T in the USA. I believe the motherboard may have died on my phone and am looking to see about getting a replacement motherboard specific to Telus/AT&T if anyone has one they are looking to sell let me know. Thank you
Sir,
I'm not sure about you can find a new motherboard, it may cost similar prices with phone.
I have bought a rarely used Motorola Milestone for $300 on Ebay, I liked it too much but I have problem with the keyboard slider, it's no holding tight, shaking sometimes,
Do you think the sell the phone as parts ?
If yes, how much do you want for both keyboard slider mechanism and camera button (if it's still in golden color, mine came in white color :S )
According to the Motorola Canada website my phone is still covered under warranty for another 2 months. However it obviously does not mean that it will be repaired/replaced. I am still waiting to hear from Motorola if I should send my phone in or not. However if things do not go the way I am hoping. I would sell the device as is for parts only. I will leave a comment on this thread depending on either way whatever I hear from Motorola.
If I do end up selling the device it will be as a whole unit, not broken down. There is a website I found that has parts for the a lot of phones. Here it is:
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=milestone
I may buy whole unit if I can effort the price, please just let me know about it.
Thanks for the link, jgregoryj1
Edit : Do you know any website like that but selling single unit,too ?
Hey friends How are u!!..
"Idiotly", I have broken my screen.. and I live in Vzla so, here these screen are being sold very expensive. So I am thinking of buing it at amazon in a very low price (comparing).
The problem is that the only screen for sale is one that says: "LCD Screen Display for Motorola A955 Droid 2 Milestone / A855 Droid Milestone".. I am almost sure and ready to buy it, but this is not enough. Its necessary a safe opinion.. So, does this screen works on my Milestone A853??. I would go crazy if, when it arrives, I get know that this is not the correct one..
So thank u very much and sorry for lots of words hehe.. Im practicing my English..
well you should just visit a local service center and ask about the screen replacement first.
Buying first and then what? I assume you're not going to DIY this yourself and still need someone to do it right? Then first find the person who's able to do it! not vice versa
Sure, thanks for the suggestion..
But well I already know this is the right one. I compared the codes printed in the back side of my screen with the ones printed in the screen shown in the sale photo. And I do this kind of reparations, this is not a problem.
Thanks friend.
Hey guys, my old and trusty galaxy S amoled screen shattered somehow, and I do not want to repair the phone as who knows the internal parts might die anytime?
Does anyone know of other uses for such a phone? Or is replacing the screen the only way out to make full use out of it?
It's interesting to see a phone model 2 years old still has so much development going on

If you're handy with things like this, a replacement screen is about $80, which isn't too bad. Pretty big pain to do it though. On the other end of things, if you're half decent with a linux terminal (or willing to learn a bit), ADB will be your best friend here.
EDIT: Also unless you mess something up internally or do something really wrong flashing it, it won't just die on you.

Had the same problem... i changed the display module for a new one... it's one with the glass so you need to replace the whole display
and believe me ... it's worth it... en really not exspensive!! just google it
and when replaced ...turn on the device en you'll see that NOTHING of data,pics,music etc. is lost...
sorry for my not to good english.

Hi, I had the same issue few months ago. At that time, I found that you can buy a replacement display on e-bay, but most users claimed it was not an AMOLED display.
Also, in my case, I was not able to connect to the phone by ADB.
For those reasons I then decided to send the phone to the Samsung repair center. The only problem was that they wiped the phone (they did a factory reset). However, I didn't loose any picture I have saved on the phone. The phone is happily working and running CM10 nightlies
regards,

I have a broken touchscreen (still works but is badly scatert)
So can i only replace touchscreen?
So not can i just put a new lcd with touchscreen on it. (I have amoled one is it posible to put lcd on it?) Because i know amoled is a pain to.findd parts.
All the "screen cracked" threads I've read on the HTC One, none of them have any information on where to get a new screen replacement. I cracked my screen pretty bad but I can live with it. I read the thread where it's not hard at all to open this device up. However when I looked for a replacement it only showed the digitizer.I read that the digitizer and LCD are infused. Even if you try to seperateit you would damage it.
Now is it worth it cost-wise to buy a replacement and do it yourself (if you know what you're doing). Or is it just better to take it through insurance?

Depending on who you have for insurance, sending it to HTC might be cheaper than your deductible. Granted, you would be without the phone for a while, but if you have an extra phone that might be manageable. Last I heard, replacement panels were 130-150ish online. As to where to find one, I have no idea. HTC was/is replacing them for 180. Just some food for thought.
Hi
My Galaxy S home button got a bit wet and it won't work. I will try to separate the screen from the frame soon. However I would like to know where to order Galaxy S replacements.
I would like to order the frame and the screen separately and stick them in a way that they are easy to tear apart in case my home button breaks again. How could I achieve this?
I also saw lots of ebay sellers and amazon seller selling replacement screens, claiming they are original, compatible, with logo, and all that stuff.
So I wonder, are there different Galaxy S screens? How can you know which ones are original or not? Which ones are good or bad? etc
For example on AliExpress there are different ones like this
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...reen-assembly-Black-color-100/1185287851.html (Claims to be original)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Assembly-Black-Free-shipping/1659713345.html (no idea if it's original or not)
Thanks!

I always use eBay to get my Galaxy S parts. I usually buy half broken phones and salvage parts from them. Or buy new parts from seller's in my own country with good ratings. I try and stay away from Chinese parts, they are cheaper but usually poorer quality in my opinion.

The main problem about the screen is that the AMOLED screen burns fast and loses color. So I would preffer a new original one, or a copy which is nearly as the original

Hi....i've take a replacement lcd panel for one s3 i9300 1 week ago from aliexpress....i'm still waiting for it....i'll give you all informations and feedback soon!
Thank you TheFastGT
The replacement screen worked perfectly, but after all I didn't get to need it since I didn't break the original screen while trying to fix the button.
Button is fixed and cell phone is working perfectly.
Thanks everyone
