Hi Ive been watching these forums for a few weeks now, and now its time for my first post. Ive had an xda2i for six months now, but unfortunately ive broke the screen. I know how to replace this but am unable to find anywhere that sells spare parts for this model, does anybody know of a supplier. Before you tell me to send off for repair, ive already been quoted £165 to repair it and i dont think this is good for me as i only paid £99 for the xda2i new and i could get the exec new for £150. Please help if you know where i can get this part. Many thanks

Evening, on eBay you can get the screen for £77 shipped from Taiwan, not sure if its simple to replace, do not know if soldering is required. I have opened Xda 2 to replace housing before so not hard to get to
Heres is an eBay search link:

Where can you get an exec for £150 new?
Exec for 150?
From tiscali mobiles on an o2 contract, i ordered last week and im still waiting, although since i ordered the price has gone up slightly. It was cheaper for me to do this than getting my xda2i repaired. I still have six months to run on my current contract, but ive give that sim card to my misses instead of her PAYG sim. I am checking my order daily, but still no news although they say next delivery date should be 10 October. Fingers Crossed

Thanks for the link, i may just buy one.
I dismantled my xda2i last night to see if the screen from my ipaq would fit, unfortunately the ribbon connection (if thats what its called) wouldnt line up, so put the xda2i back together with the broken screen.
So i dont see a problem or any soldering required to fit the new screen if i buy one, unless anyone knows differently. If anyone has experience in this department then i would appreciate you knoledge. Thanks
very cool...ive got the same problem and if it can be fixed with approx 100 pound i wouldnt mind payin it...for now i got a 3100 to use off ebay for 20 pounds...anyways let me know if youve ordered one
I have got a spare screen for my IIi just incase and there is no soldering involved.
Daz.
Where did you get your spare screen from? How much did it cost? and am i right in believeing that it is just a case of dismanteling the unit poping in the new screen and reasembling?
As i said before i dismantled and reasembled last night and the unit fired up no probs?
Thanks
I bought the whole phone for £100 for spares.
Yes afaik you just dismantel, put the new screen into place and attach the ribbon cable(it actually snaps into place) then reassemble.
Daz.
wicked...you made me one happy man
ordered one but just as i was tryin to open it...theres these weird screws...can someone tell me what are they called and where i could buy a screwdriver for that kind of screw plz?
cheers
Hi,
They are call TORQ screws and you will need a TORQ 6 Screwdriver to undo them they are available everywhere even on ebay, do you know how to take the camera cover (black bit) off?
I downloaded the service manual for the XDA2i from a link that someone put on this forum, that will show you how to dismantel and reassemble your PDA. Im sorry i dont know where this link is but someone else might be able to add it to this thread.
Ive orderd my screen and am just waiting for delivery.

Bad connecter and repairing / O2 customer service
Hi all, how are you ?
I am fine but not my XDA IIi.
I purchased it from UK but I live in Austraia now.
I've been using the device only for 2 months, but now it has a problem, which is "can charge but cannot sync" through original cradle and charger.
And it cannot be even charged by using non-original (third party) USB charger or retractable sync cable.
I just have been using it with normal care, did not drop or broke or anything..
I found that USB connecter looks one of the weak point of the device itself and to fix it , cost almost all the amount of purchasing new device through this forum.
I really think that this problem should be covered by warranty but just because my device came from UK so that service centre here in Australia told me as long as O2 UK allow me to use warranty here, then local service agent can fix it with the warranty.
So after a long chasing , at last I contacted UK service center, repair center , and customer service. ( i called there from Australia as they don't have any email contact!)
As I expected, I could not expect much support from them.
They told me to send it to my friend in UK and ask him/her to bring it to O2 shop in UK. But still not sure to be covered with warranty......
I wish I could have good skill of soldering or fixing up electronical skills.... then I can open it up and fix it as there are some instructions to open up XDAIIi....
Anyway, has anyone have same problem and succeeded to fix up XDA IIi connecter ??? (Not XDA II as I found some quote in this whole forum... )
is anyone able to suggest the best way for me?
Thank you for reading long comment and listening my sad mumbling.
Regards
Tama

A friend of mine attempted to repair the USB/Cradle connector on his XDA IIi and completely killed it. I know this isn't what you want to hear but please be very careful if you take this job on yourself or you could render it useless.
Daz.
i think the cheapest way to get it fixed is to send it to imate repair center in dubai...O2 shop will just send it to their repair center in uk and will charge you £17 just to send it there...it be cheaper jus to contact the repair center yourself it be cheaper and faster
thanks for the comments
Dear Cadburys Man,thanks, oh sounds really Risky
and
Dear m4mad,
Dubai,,, oh ,, not familiar at all but I will try to find O2shop according to your advice,
thanks for your comments!

Hey guys i purchased a sony xperia z1 about few months back and m sure my device has a faulty screen with a dead cell on it.... Sometimes it show many vertical black lines extending the whole screen... I have seen videos of teardown xperia z1 on youtube and realy worried by seeing how they open up the fone... Guys please advise me weather i should get it done from sony within warranty or i should let it be as it is as i don't want any further problems with my fone if sony center could not fix my fone like a new brand device.. M worried that my fone will lose it waterproof seal or Won't look like a new fone or loss of functionality in any manner.
Please suggest me guys asap wht should i do...??
You should take it to a Sony service center and have it checked, just to be sure. If the display is faulty then they should replace it under warranty.
As for the waterproofing, the service center should do a vacuum test (as it is stated here) to see if the phone is sealed properly after the repair (if they do decide to repair and not replace it).

You'd have better luck asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help
This is the section for accessories for the Xperia Z1. I will notify a moderator to move it for you, so others can answer your question who may not go in to this part of the forum. (thread is in Accessories at the moment) :good:
Happy new year!

If they said that you'll get a replacement phone and not a repaired / refurbished one, then that is what *should* happen.
I found this post here in which they replaced just the phone without the accessories, so it might be true that they do replacements like that.
Hope you get a new and problem-free one :fingers-crossed:
yadnit: my phone was replaced because of a faulty display, with a brand new one by the carrier i've bought it from. They did exactly what you said. They took just the faulty device, without any of the accesories that came with it in the box. They took my original Z1 box too. When the replacement arrived, it came in my original box, without being any kind of sealing. The phone had those protection plastic foils on it and when i started it, it was on .534 fw although my faulty unit was updated to .257 fw.
Another very important thing to pay attention to, is the new phone's IMEI. Mine has now a differen IMEI and even more it is unbranded and not simlocked (the faulty unit was branded and sim-locked also).
Hope this helps you!

Hi guys,
I had a really dumb issue with my z , the headphone flap keeps popping out or it wont stay closed... it actually comes and goes ,this problem(i did a research and lota people have the same issue,n the Sony guys as usual have no clue). So i thought of getting the flap replaced coz i bought it just 2 months back, but when i got to the service center, they said they cant repair it n that my fone will be replaced. So
My question is:
1) Will they replace me with a new fone,(Have anyone got their fone replaced?, some info would be great)
2) If the replace my fone with an old and serviced fone how can i know or find out immediately ( like some inside setting to see if it was formatted or repaired recently)
It would be a great hept to me and anyone out there like me searching for an anserwr to this question if someone shared thier expertise n had an experience with the issue above mentioned.
Thanks in Advance Guys

Yes,if they say they will replace it with i new fone,i got my replaced due to wifi issue and they gave me a brand new fone in a small white box nd there were no scratches on the fone with the screen protector(the one which are already put on the fone not the one which they give in box).but they took 10 days for replacement that was annoying.
If you are not satisfied with the fone dont accept it.use it for sometime at the centre. if you found any issue dont accept and ask for another replacement.

Changing the IMEI number in the UK is illegal

Nvm, just let your thread die, maybe a moderator will close it. Afaik, discussions about how to change IMEI are not tolerated here (because of legal issues in some countries) but since it was only a question about if it was legal or not, there should be no problem.
So are you still going to send it for repair?
So are you still going to send it for repair?[/QUOTE]
Yes i'm still sending it in.. the phone will only charge when turned off ..keep seeing the USB Host Mode error message too.. i'm beginning to see that it's a very common issue with the M7
Thanks again, i'll let the thread die out

I will close it but you will most likely find that if you had to change it then it is most likely a knock off device and when you take it to the repair center they wont touch it.

Where i can purchase motherboard in cheapest rate.
what is tha cost of motherboard tell me please.
I am from Haryana, India.
Well in Bangalore, There's a dealer who does sell Moto G, G2, E,E2 compatible motherboards.
He says it works but I do not trust him (lol). And I don't think he ships to other places.
You can go to a nearby customer care centre but I doubt they'll even help you (they didn't help me with basic part replacement for my old moto e).
Plus its rare for any non company outlet to sell logic boards and even if they do it wouldn't work as well as the old one. I don't exactly know where you get a original logic board (in India).
But I've heard people paying 2500-7000 bucks(dont know from where they got it) and still not getting proper results.
So it'd be better to just buy a new phone.
moto motherboard
bro u can get it on ali express ,ali baba and ebay ..i think u can see if u can
