Hi guys,
I have a the White version of the Optimus Black (I know its oxymoron but lol) and I want to swap the housing for the phone. Are the sellers on ebay ok to buy such things from? Are there any other, maybe more reliable, retailers I could get the housing from?
What are the chances that the phone will not work when the housing is changed or does it even matter?

Thanks
Why don't you try your local LG service center, if they dont have it, you can always place a request as i did as i ordered a back cover.

I think its expensive from the web you post, maybe in an LG center paying a bit more you will not lose ur garanty

Exactly.
i dont recommend you doing this mate, it'll be a useless expense (it may be quite expensive)
i personally would love to have the white version of it
Graphical effect on back cover ll be coool...

I like my OB to have white housing... you should be happy you have a white one so you can play around for painting.

I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.

It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.
Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.

I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.
edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.
If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.
I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.

Was able to get a replacement as well for $16! I wanted to have a spare.
Can anyone post the number to call for a warranty replacement?

Anyone know a trusted site with spares for Ace? I need the internal camera (mine it is broken). Where I live i can not found it, and we dont have any Samsung service...
Its probably more hassle than its worth. Do you really need the camera.
How about taking it to a phone shop?

when you say broken you mean literally broken ( ie. glass of camera n all) ? or you mean its not working in your rom? you bought your phone from some place other than urs?

Yes we have, but it is like 15km from the place where I live, and with the prices they have... No way. In a shop phone they told me that the price for changing the camera it is between 100 - 130 €. :what:It is very easy to change, I can do it, but where to buy the camera?

The camera separably costs more then the repair so the repair its actually cheaper.

I doubt we get the spares in open market / online as i had a similar experience in searching for mother board a couple of weeks ago and all effort went futile when came to know the spares are available at only the Samsung service centers.
FYI, im from India. Not sure the same in all regions.

Doesn't the Ace cost ~170€ in Europe? It's not worth it if you ask me. Buy a completely new phone.
But if you really need a working camera on the exact same phone, try Amazon, you might find a bargain.
I know I'm a bit late here but if you still need the camera pm me. I have an ace you might be able to use

The easiest and cheapest way is to get it from the LG authorised service centre.
I got one in India for just Rs 88 i.e. $1 and 50 cents approx
ebay my friend
Do you know if there are cool like modified back covers, like metal ones or so? That would be so cool
So I found those on eBay

WHAT??? 314$ to repair? Thats more than the price of a new one...
Make a nice cross, write on it "R.I.P." and buy another one, this time check better how it is before you buy it.

Don't take it to LG's service center, but find a shop near you that fixes smartphone displays. Or get a display and change it for yourself. I don't know if it's easy to do, and there seem to be no YouTube videos about it. But I suppose it's not that much difference from other devices, so might be worth a try.
for display low price
for m/b high price

You didn't tell about a broken mainboard. If that's the case, forget about it. Wait for the Nexus or get a device with development in the meantime, for 300$ you should even be able to get some ex-high-end devices like Xperia S, SII or Galaxy Nexus in new or nearly unused state.
Hi all
Who are know price of mainbaord of 4x? LG service center tell me around 210$.Can I find in ebay ?

I did read that somewhere else, I might just have to try and use a standard strap. I don't use the LTE part, wi-fi sometimes.

I've almost given up. Might just take other strap off and replace with generic strap. I don't use LTE, just wi-fi and BT.
Only problem is I need something to cover antenna socket.

Hi.
I have the same problem but I've found someone who will sell me a few.
I just hope he sells small lots and the price is ok.
I will post back once I get a price.

I'm going to ask the Ebay W281 sellers if they can get them.

Ok. I tried a watch shop and they said it will be hard as it uses screws to secure.

I have the same issue -- over the weekend I caught my watch and it was ripped from my arm. A small piece of plastic in the strap, where the screw goes in, broke. I have a T5, so I was able to undo the screws but with this piece of plastic broken I can't resecure the strap to the watch. So I now need to replace it. I'm in Ireland.
