I have looked far and wide for a replacement cover for the G1 / Dream. It is fairly easy to find replacement battery covers, however finding the front cover replacements is another story.
To specify, I am referring to the plastic surrounding the LCD, the plastic surrounding the Menu, Home, Trackball, Back and End Buttons AND the battery cover ideally.
To confirm, this photo points to the plastic I am referring to and wish to replace. - http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...authkey=Gv1sRgCN_V3MeRuKPz5AE&feat=directlink
If ANYONE can guide toward a location where I can purchase these replacement parts, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Again, I have looked and looked and found nowhere where I can purchase them together or separately.
Thanks in advance.

I'll still be working on stuff for mini... just won't be able to test till i repair it later on
hopefully a xperia neo, failing that a galaxy s nothing too fancy or expensive
hah, you forgot your sdcard inside, 2GB Sandisk Saw it in the last picture
Thanks for the photos! now i acctually see the phone has no cooling except that metal shield under the battery... not good stuff when OCed :/
Edit: i disassembled a K850 once just for quriosity - damn that thing is packed up tight, so difficult to get appart. Looks like our Mini dissasembly is pretty straight forward. At least it looks like so
Ouch! I have an idea, you know how they fixing ps3 with yellow light of death? Try heating up main board with hair dryer, maybe its just broken soldering ? It happens a lot I fixed ps3 that way, and my old Nokia that just died (ps3 "just died" too, in a middle of a game...)
Look for tutorials about ps3 on YouTube, it will give you idea about how to do it
Hair dryer won't do a thing, as it won't melt the soldering on the board... he should use an industrial one that blows air that 500 degrees Celsius hot . But that will do more harm than use, he could **** up his entire phone by doing that.
Its not loose connections, its the actual digitizer, so thanks for the tip but it won't work
Yeah its fairly easy to take apart, 4 screws and the back comes off

Yeah, I thought it won't work either, but somehow hair dryer did the trick with my ps3
You got lucky then, and who knows for how long will that fix work... if its out of warranty then i understand you
@domcale: it's 2 months since fix now, but it's annoying because cooling fans start to work 3-4 minutes after I switch it on, so I'm mentally prepared for the moment it will die
Hi
I dropped my phone causing the top glass part to broke. I ordered a replacement from ebay and now I need help fixing it.
Is there any video out there where it is shown how to change just the glass part?
I apparently can no post you a link as a new member so..
Search youtube for: LG P970 touch display screen replacement - Part Repair.
this is the kind of video that I think I need. Only with P880 being repaired, of course.
Thanks for your help!

Yes it is, here:

Yeah I saw that one. Do I really need to do all that?
In that video they take everything off even the smallest thigs.
When they replace other phones glasses they dont dissamble nearly as much stuff.
But if that's what I'm going to have to do..

I'm affraid that needs to be like that. There is no way to connect it back in other way, in a safe mode of course.
I don't think you have to take apart the whole thing. Do it until the "frame" is seperated from the "front" and replace the "front", leaving the PCBs in the "frame".
Hello guys,
I'm from Brazil and here we still don't have the new Xperia Z, but I bought one in Europe and now I have a problem.
I really don't know how, but the glass on the back is cracked. It's on the inferior left corner.
The problem is that now I'm not able to use it without looking this crack.
Is there any place that has this glass??? I don't think it's easy to change it because it's waterproof, so I guess it's not that easy.
Sorry for my bad english, but I really need help of you guys.
Thank you

It's easy to change, the back part is just glued to the front part, there was a video that showed that you can remove the back part just by heating up the back part.
But I don't know where you can buy spare parts I think it will be expensive though.
Here is the disassemble video:

I don't hope it was because of some heat source from the phone itself. That would mean trouble for all of us.

He might not, but I can imagine that it's annoying when you know that there is a crack on the back.
Same as when you do a test to see if there are dead pixels, you see some, but you only see them when you do the test, many people might be annoyed by the fact that there are dead pixels.

I'd understand if it was on the front, but this is on the back, and for some reason, when there's nothing wrong the front he feels he has to look at the back?

Yes, I saw it, thanks for that, but it's out of stock..... unfortunately
between you and me.
Glass of the phone is "piece of s_h_i_t". Annoying and "unlimited" finger prints makes this phone looks like $200 Chinese copy.
Plus another problem with screen cracks like on Nexus 4.
Great job keep it up :silly:
Another Broken Class
Yes same here, my back glass cracked...... Its was in my pocket then I pulled my phone out and put it on a leather couch, within seconds I heard a "Tick" I picked up my phone and the glass had cracked.
Hot in the pocket and cold leather couch made this glass crack. also happened to my wifes phone 20mins ago when she put it on the kitchen bench.... that's what made me write this to this thread.
Massive fault with this phone. Totally ruined the IP rating now which was the reason why I brought this phone. And there is no where selling replacements of glass yet.

Read my post again.
Did I said I don't like the phone?
Did I said I don't like a design?
Did I said I like plastic more ?
The glass/quality of the phone is ****ty garbage. Because is getting dirty/dust so easy + hard to clean.
Totally when the phone is dirty it looks like a Chinese copy.

same issue is with i hav given my phone in service center they are annoying that it was a physical damage but after request they accepted the phone said that there is no scracth and pressure on it we send this phone to there head office in the research team in manufacturing plant they will check the phone heather it was external damage or itself hell this time sony customer service is very poor in the custumers service apple and samsung are vry good aplle was best in case of customer service i left my phone on charging overnight more than 9 hours dont knon when the glass is broken when i wake up and remove my phone the back glas is broken a hair line type crack is there from top to bottom edge to edge it was not noticable but it was broken hell this time with the sony poor customer service even the service center talk rudly what can we do the its not tough as steel sony was clamig that it was the toughest phone in the market and all ....
This could be a serious problem that could affect all devices, I always charge the phone at night, stays that way like 7-10 hours, I didn't thought that it could crack when the temperature varies. Not cool SONY!
Wow, this topic got me worried a lot.
After having a look at this video I tought it would be strong:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o3yMw2L3tJA
As that guy sure is smacking the phone all over the place without any damage left to the phone.
I think your problem must have something to do with heat when charging.
But that should not be a problem as this phone is also "snow proof".
Taking it from the snow to inside should make it crack aswell then?
Sure hope you guys get your phones fixed soon.
Kind regards, Stefan.

I had a dualpro shine case laying around so I just pulled the back cover off and put the case on and you barely see the difference
Mmmm I need to look back because I have ordered a new back cover almost a year ago. Thought I lost mine, ordered new one and got new Xperia SP (camera problems). Now I'm stuck with 2 extra back covers. I'm from Holland. It was a German site where I bought the back cover.
