Broken XDA 2i screen...what the cheapest solution?

i was stupid enough to lean on a pool table while playin and crack my xda 2i screen...what do you reckon is the easiest and the cheapest way to fix it?
would appreciate your help...
O2 quote me around £180 which is a lot of money and me being a student cant really afford to pay that much

Mmmmm I've looked around and cant see anyway of fixing that.
You could get the backpack and then connect to a monitor(but then you lose the whole idea of portability.

Thats a shame, pity it was not stolen then you could have claimed off of your insurance. You do have insurance, either phone specific or house contents?

i have an xda2 screen for sale? looking for £50, im not sure if it will fit the xda21 i would ahe thought it would? but best to ask someone who actaully knows! if your interested pm me

i contacted imate repair [email protected] about £100 it seems to be the most sensible price also the fact that fixing it wont damage the garantee...
any experience with SBE?

Broken XDA2i Screen ...
Hi M4Mad!
I'm in the same situation as you as well! was doing some work out in the garage and only when I took my xda2i out to make a call did I see that something had smacked the screen! GRRRRR!!!
Have you found anywhere that does a screen replacement at all? I dropped an email to proporta.com as they have an 'XDA' listing for 55 squid plus 15 to fit but they emailed me back and said it's only for the XDA1.
Times like this you wish you had taken out that insurance policy isn't it!!
Where is the imate repair centre you mention? I guess £100 isn't so bad, If you could let me know that'd be great!
Cheers!

broken screen
Hi the M4Mad!
Well, i've been scrabbling around a bit looking for somewhere to fix my screen with mixed results
Went to an O2 store- they can fix it, within a week, no problemo
£210 !!
Found a site apexlaptops.co.uk - Called em up and a lady said they can fix it,
£205!!
Next up was Proporta - like i mentioned before they can't fix it.
I'll try the number you've put here tommorow and see who they are and how much they want.
Else, I have to decide what to do. for the moment I've dug out my spare Nokia 8890 and it still works brilliantly!
i'll pop up on this post my 'findings' tommorow!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!

Hmm... As I know, I saw Qtek 2020(i) XDA II displays for sale apox. 240 USD... 400 USD for repair is too big price. In our city it is about 300 USD.

XDA IIi Screen
I've just had mine replaced (after I slammed the car boot lid on it!!!) - It cost me £160 including the on/off switch which I also broke the day before when I dropped it (I was having a a bad week). The switch repair alone is normally £70!!
I had the repair done through the O2 repair center.
The least you can do is send it off for a quote through O2 - if nothing else, thats free.

XDA IIi Screen
Well well!
I've been doing a bit of research and the cheapest I can seem to find anything is here
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/
Xda2i screens for $199 USD fitted ! so in Sterling thats at around £120 ish! not too bad huh! obviously the postage costs would add to that, i'd estimate around £20 there and £20 back (Ive just sold my other XDA2i to a US buyer and insured postage was around £20)
qube62 says he/she got it fixed for £160. The O2 repair centre I went to said £210 for a replacement XDA2i screen, So im thinking maybe qube62 only had a smashed 'touchscreen' and not a 'smashed LCD' !!
- I'll try just sending it off through O2 and 'see' if they fix mine for like £160!
Else I suppose I could just take my xda2i to the US on my next visit and see if they can fix it whilst im there!
if that doesnt come about - then I think i'll claim off my home insurance!
Oh and just to rub salt into my wound.. my dam aluminium xda2i case arrived today !!!! typical !!!

i got a quote from this place for 160 n they said they will send me a package thing so i could put it in there n send it out to them...
but im not too sure about 160...thas too much i might jus stick to my 3100 for now n allow xda...

Unfortunately they are like baseball cards, they are only worth as much as someone will pay you for it. Or as much as someone can buy it for somewhere else ,
On the AT$T website last week , you could get a ( new ) refurb Tilt , with a ninety day warranty for free, with a new contract.

Amazon is now giving you $50 to buy a Tilt: http://tiltmobility.com/2008/12/new-fuze-only-149-and-they-pay-you-50-to-buy-a-tilt/

Im in the UK.
Im willing to sell it for 100 quid + Delivery. The phone needs a new back cover as some of the clips are broken but the phone is nearly new as it was replaced under insurance after an issue (Probabbly dropped it to many times!!) unfortunatly the battery and cover does not get replaced.

Thread closed.
As you've opened another thread to sell your phone, I'm closing this one.

I remember i sold my Motorola RAZR (the flip phone) for $100 (i paid 20 cents for it on contract). The funny thing is that it was broken in half
The guy said he had several RAZR's and he used them for parts. I didn't complain. But it's strange that people will pay that much for something broken when it's cheaper to buy it new.

Supply and demand my good friend.

Auctions...some people love to buy stuff on them, even if it is cheaper elsewhere. Right now, I can't find anything worthwhile to buy on eBay, even new. I just use the place to sell all my used stuff, haha. Speaking of, 2 x Razr v3 I need to sell off.

[Q] Cost of galaxy note motherboard.

My galaxy note motherboard got shot in some chips, coz of water gone inside. how much will cost to replace only motherboard..

may be around 9000 to 10000 Rs here in india.

i have cleaned the water patches in the shot area.. is there possible to get claim the warranty??

You may try, although water might have caused micro-corrosion on the PCB which the guys from service centre will probably notice. You've got nothing to lose though.

does anyone know where I can.order a motherboard for my note? I'm.in Canada with a N7000 note...Samsung doesn't sell/service devices outside north America. and UK Samsung doesn't service/sell outside UK...!

You may try this one:

My friend got his screen replacement from them - can't really verify the shop so you might want to check it first.
Also, there are some boards on eBay, might be worth to look there.

Samsung parts are relatively cheap compared to what we generally see on ebay, at least so is the case in India, though the phone costs every penny of the $600 odd dollars that it is priced at.
I was one of those unfortunate enough to have 2 Galaxy Notes withered away because of a broken display and an emmc chip which decided to go rogue.
So off to the service center the phones go, after much back and forth with whether the phone is rooted and what not we finally agreed upon the emmc issue sorted by Samsung and the display borne by me.
Long story short, the motherboard costs around 9000 Indian Rupees which is about 165 USD, give or take.

global direct parts are a bunch of crooks...id shy away from them... their parts are not what they claim and when you try to return them they refuse claiming you broke them even though you never used them and thats the way you received them...

Buy a used handset?
I was looking into this after water damage to my mobo but in the end it seemed easier, less risky and not much more expensive just to buy a used n7000 complete. Admittedly this was in the UK but I was able to pick up an excellent condition Note with box and all accessories for just over £100. If that is an option for you I'd recommend it rather than dealing with some of these unreliable companies.
Good luck!

is there anyway to order a motherboard and get it shipped in Bangladesh?

In India, 10k these service center guys are suckups here, they don't easily agree to do big repairs, and in my opinion if you r living in Delhi then go to Gaffar Market, Karol Bagh and you can get it fixed in around 3-5K, you will get an orignal samsung PCB/Motherboard(used 1) which they have taken through service center links from the original phones ( Ya believe it or not, it all happens).
Hope I have helped.
