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!

Friends,
I purchased my Xiaomi MI3 in China couple of years ago but I live in India now. Recently the phone fell down and a crack on the screen due to which the touchscreen doesn't work. But phone works as usual as I am able to receive calls, SMS etc.. just that I am not able to login as the touchscreen doesn't work.
I went to the service center in Bangalore but they rejected to replace the screen stating that the phone was purchased outside India, though I was willing to pay if they could change it.. but no help.
Need your advise how can I replace the touchscreen.
Thanks a lot.
Bangalore service center is supposed to be one of the best, if they are not willing to repair it, then I doubt you would get any official support from Xiaomi, you could try the following.
1) Buy Screen replacement from eBay, they are just 2-2.5k Rs. as device is getting old, search for 'Mi 3 Screen'.
2) Try to take the parts to a person who can repair it, you should be able to find skilled persons for repairing mobiles in Bangalore
3) If none of it works, there are videos on YouTube showing how you can change the screen yourself, it isn't really tough and worth a try as there's nothing better you can do.
Best of luck!
Go to a local mobile repair shop and get it replaced. I got mine done 2 days before only.

Hello
I dropped my nokia 7 plus TA-1046 on the bathroom floor the other day, so screen cracked
I cant find a new complete replacement screen anywhere. Do any of you know where to purchase a new one, that would ship worldwide?
Cheers
Try Aliexpress:
I've already tried aliexpress, ebay, Amazon and all these kind og sites. The Screen is not in stock anywhere for the Plus model.
I guess it will be avaliable within some time, but of anyone of you sees it in stock anywhere, then please let me know.
I'm too have this problem ?????

I've had the same problem. Unfortunately the N7+ is very well build. Repairing the screen is very difficult and if you can find the screen it is very expensive, especially regarding the price to buy a new one. After some research I found a screen (which wasn't in stock) at a website and they asked €200,- including repair. The cheapest I found was €175,- incl. repair. Didn't find just a screen. Could buy a new one for just €320,- Since a repaired phone never works as good as it once did, I went for a new one after all

I had this 3 months after I bought it. (Last year in August).
I used the online HMD repair center, got it fixed in 10 days for €165 with collection and delivery. They did an okay job ( 2 days after repair I noticed a very, very thin scratch on the screen, need to look very carefully to find it)
I'll try to find the link for the website later.
I do not think locsl repair centre will do a better and cheaper job.
i have a international dual sim model (n960f/ds) and i cracked the dang screen last night. apparently its not a simple replacement. breaking the screen means replacing the digitizer as well, local places dont carry my international screens and have told me the U.S version wont work with my phone.
is this true?
im not skilled or steady enough to replace it myself. i have found some places that would do it provided that i have the part.
ive been searching for a couple hours now and only found ebay listings for the replacement screen but it would take a least a month before the screen even gets here. (china origin)
*edit* after being on the phone for hours. i finally got connected to someone that gave me an a real answer. Ubreakitifix is partnered with samsung which is the place i went to and they denied me because of policy issues rather than parts compatibility. Samsung representative assured me the US screens will function normally with other models as long as its the same phone type.
