I bought a cheap G1 in fair condition with a cracked screen with the intentions of replacing the housing and screen and giving it to someone. I found the service manual, and it's COMPLICATED!!!!!!!!!!! MY GOSH! Does anyone have any experience taking apart the G1?
Find the screws and take them out It's not difficult to take apart a phone.

your in luck , i did it a few weeks ago ... altho i did it after a youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhpjobcLSiY
the part after taking the screws out (detaching the case) is hella hard , i even cracked the case ... youll need a few (very)thin plastics to stop it from snapping back as you loosen all the sides and ull need a flat-bladed screwdriver for the two little tunnels on the sides of the usb port ...
bottom line is , there are about a half dozen hook points , if it doesnt come off , u prolly missed somthing ... oh , and youll also need standard 6way screwdrivers , several sizes

well i just opened it up to clean dust but there wasnt a whole lot of it ... but to access the hinge ... you have no choice
dont really get wat u mean by worth it tho ..
just add the price you paid for the phone + price of digitizer(if only thats broken) and ull see if its more than the price for a working one

You might be right, if the device is unlocked. The best value, in my opinion, is an unlocked, unrooted phone.

HTC Desire goes over 100$ with price, so I think it shoud be a bit more than that.

OP, I think $100 - $150 if in good condition, Nath, have to agree with Nonverbose, that is a seriously short ping, (if that is what he was on about ) you must live next door to server lol...

the closest exchange is in another suburb LOL.
and he was talking about the big ass sig i used to have.
I bought my Incs off ebay back in November for a "buy it now" price of $140(AUS). It was unlocked, only used previously for about 2 months, and it was in great condition. It didn't look used at all. All the other unlocked ones around that time period were selling for anywhere from $160 all the way up to $190 so I reckon I got a great deal. It probably helped that I saw noticed listing less than 3 hours after he listed it. I wasn't even planning on getting an HTC to begin with, but I saw how cheap this one was and thought I better snap it up before someone else got it.
So so gutted! Only had the htc one for a week and it feel out of my pocket onto my solid slate kitchen floor and well lets just say it couldnt have been a better face plant! Didnt even touch the sides...just face down slap bang on the floor!
Am I the first?
To top it off no insurance.......and no repair shops that either stock the parts as is so new out and if the tear down tests are anything to go by its a pig to even replace a screen! Just my luck.....only one thing I could do which is to get it repaired by htc.
Being shipped off tomorrow and im dredding the email that is going to rob me me of my hard earned ££££.
Anybody had experiance with htc repairs?

Thank you I will keep you updated, I can imagine it will be in the £200 mark, from what I saw from the tear down test you have to take everything out just to get the screen detached, we will see

its slippery as hell though, thats why im so glad i got my nillkin case - looks nice and has good grip.

I'm lucky, I get phone insurance with my bank account. I rang them to switch it over as soon as I'd unboxed it as I knew if I left it alone this would happen!
Good luck getting it fixed!
So I got my Note 4 today. I love it, but im note sure if am being picky or if my issue is warranted.
Opened Note, and not sure if im the only one. But I have a crack at top of phone. Real small but noticeable if you look at top.
Should I have them send a new one?
