Dog chewed my phone!!

Hi,
My puppy decided he liked the look of my Kaiser and decided to have a chew on it, resulting in a cracked LCD screen, and teeth marks in the front cover and battery cover.
anyone have a suggestion where the best place for spare parts is??
I'm located in Australia.
thanks

Hi there ,
you may want to search the forum as many people had problems like yours (maybe not because of a dog though ). Try keywords like "spare parts kaiser".
Here is an example of an other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333670
By doing this, I am sure you can find some good adresses (like here, here, here). You may want to simply try eBay as well.

CNN.CN
Duezeff is correct, I've had the best luck with cnn.cn in finding parts. At the time i was only interested in one LCD screen for a friend and saw that there was a discount for buying in bulk. Now I wish I had done so and set up my own little shop. Also, pay attention to what you're actually purchasing (which part of the touchscreen you are getting) and whether it is new or from a used phone.
Use Mike Channon's guides to disassemble and reassemble your phone and you should be set. it is very easy to do.

Is there an Ebay in Australia? Always a good source of parts.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
EBay came up trumps, and my new LCD screen, digitiser and Case are on the way from Hong Kong.

HTC HD2 Housing Frame utterly scratched!

I have always been very protective of my telephone, but today my HTC fell while riding a bike. Luckily (!) there are only scratches all over the back of the casing, and I want this repaired or restored.

Would you guys recommend this to me? I am pretty handy myself, but I am not sure of the quality of this. Is it the same or better then the original? Has someone else repaired there HTC HD2 this way?
Thanks, Roy KW

It looks alright, comes with tools so I imagine will come with a good set of instructions. Looks better then a scratched one I'm guessing, I say go for it

Chrome HTC HD2
I would advise using some good precision polishing and sanding tools to Chrom-ify your HTC hD2 as this guy has done here.

Except rather than for the back housing for the whole phone.

I would advise to buy retail parts (If availble), these replicas are bad quality , doesnt fit 100% and waste of your money

This looks promising, I'm tempted to get it, but have no idea of how to fit it.

Genuine HD2 housing backplate spare parts

thought id post up on here as i have done on the hd2 forum as to where people out of warranty, not under contract or not wanting to risk some of the crap on ebay can find genuine spare parts for this phone?
i myself would like a battery cover and rear housing but cannot find anywhere that will sell one. are phone companies just making phones now and not parts to go with them and leaving it up to 3rd parties to make knock off goods?
others threads where people have tried htc directly have been unsuccessful. my provider doesnt want to help and i dont want to part with hard earned cash for ebay items or similar as they all say they are genuine items but have subtle differences each time.
anyone help?

I bought a replacement battery cover here: http://www.netimes.com/shop/original-htc-hd2-battery-cover-p-2564.html?cPath=80_731
It appeared to be a genuine part and worked well.
You can find the housing parts here:
http://shop.brando.com/search.php?keyword=hd2&Submit=Product+Search
Note that they also sell the battery cover but slightly dearer, the reason why I didn't purchase from them. However, I have purchased other products from them in the past and they are trustworthy.

cheers for all the links. none look too promising though. as for the htc store. they have a battery cover but nothing else. i need the main housing. found one from another shop. i will post up pics and details when it arrives. looked pretty good in the picture.

just kinda curious,since we are able to replace the lcd screen ourselves,is it even possible to say upgrade it to a SAMOLED screen?

amazon has the orginal battery door for 12 USD

HTC One M7 Housing

I just messaged a prestige local phone repair company, they're charging me 109$ + i have to supply the housing for this repair. Wondering what do you guys think? We can honestly, go with just a clear type skin or any skin for protection and replace the housing when the damages get really bad. What do you guys think of this pricing?

Going off what I've seen from teardowns (ifixit), this phone is a PITA to get into, and pricing for parts isn't too bad as I've seen some parts for sale online and the housing is relatively inexpensive. I would say it isn't that bad of a price for them to replace the housing. Might I ask why are you looking into this, just prospective or is something wrong with yours?

i was also wondering how the h when i break the screen am i going to fix it lol So you say it is going to be easy?

Accidentally dropped mines... =/ the dents are actually getting to me. Also having a change of hearts kinda digging the black one.. and lets say 6 months down the road it would give you that new feeling of a phone.

Well it would probably cost the same as replacing the housing... its def wont be easy.

Replacement Parts for Back Cover

In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.

I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..

two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.

Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you

I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.

Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.

it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

Thank you but it's not original. It's just a chinese copy.

That's kind of a funny comment as the OEM is a lower cost Chinese company.

On the other hand chinese market produce fake/copy parts for their own companies too.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?

There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!
