Atrix 4G Replacement Parts

Anyone know where I can buy replacement parts for the Atrix 4G?
I was able to pick up an Atrix 4G with a cracked screen (LCD is fine) for $315 on ebay.
Anyone have any parts source?

parts eh?

Haha that site requires him to buy a minimum of 3. At least we know he will have spares.

Nice, I think I'm going to hold out a week or two to see what happens but if not ill jump on it. If anyone else is looking for one of these let me know and I can order it and I would be down to split them up at cost and ship em if you paypal me. I'm paypal verified and have a 100+ ebay rep

wait, r u on at&t? if u r, why buy a used/damaged atrix for $315, which is 115 bucks more than a brand new one on contract? n on top of that, u still have to buy the replacement screen? just doesn't make sense right?

he might of already used his upgrade from at&t or not an at&t customer. 315+60 is a steal for an atrix. you can sell these easily for 500-600. not everyone can get at&t contract price...

I actually used my upgrade to get an Atrix. hadn't upgraded in years because I had a rogers HTC Dream and then I bought the Nexus One straight up. I used to run a little iphone repair business and figure I'll have no problem fixing the Atrix. This is just to make a quick $150-$200

Interested in split-order of Atrix replacement screens
I shattered my screen yesterday. So far local stores have been no help.
I am going to one last store today to see if they can get me a deal on a replacement phone -or at least repairs- . If that doesn't work out, I'll be interested in going in 1/3 on a replacement screen order.

Booooo! I, a poor student, now living abroad and with no contract options, almost bought that same ebay phone and was even talking to the seller when it disappeared. Back when globalparts sold the screen for $50 (but still, minimum order of 3.) But, iFixIt makes it look easy and you should have no trouble finding people to split the screens with (if I lived in the US still, this'd be my strategy.)

I think he is allowed to do whatever he wants with his cash.

Anyone seen them anywhere else? I've been keeping my eye on ebay when I can for another cracked one. I was thinking I could buy 3 and fix them all.

Cracked glass
Is there any way to replace just the glass...? I scuffed up my glass pretty bad...

Thought the Atrix had Gorilla Glass?????

Just because its gorilla glass doesnt make it indestructable - you can still scratch and scuff the screen...

You can order the glass on Ebay now. I would get the digitizer also because sometimes its glued in the glass. And dosent come off easily. Would rather just tear it apart once....

when they took apart the atrix they found that the screen was completely separate.

I've ordered replacement parts from www.ccn.cn before and while they aren't always OEM parts, they fit and work regardless. They don't have much of anything for the MB860 at this time though, other than the back cover.

I bought one from ebay a few weeks back but have been busy and then realized i didn't have a torx t5. Ordered a small screwdriver kit for $4 with free prime shipping on amazon.
Just did the replacement. I used adhesive pieces cut from ones for iPhones to seal it on. The teardown was a little bit more difficult than I expected. It will be much easier the 2nd time around but the ifixit really doesn't give any of the details. I noticed I left a small smudge behind the glass/digitizer so I may take it apart to wipe it. If I do I will make a teardown video. The biggest issue was that all of the ribbons are held down pretty firmly by strong adhesives. I was very impressed by the strength of the bezel. Everything worked fine first time I put it back together. I used to fix iPhone screens pretty regularly, I've probably done around 40+ of them, so that experience may have helped.

[Q] Replacement Screen!

Yo guys, Had a bad day today.... Broke the screen on my phone. Does anyone know where to get replacement screen's from now a day's? Preferably not Ebay as i hate it but If that's the only place i guess i must. Now I have checked ebay but the ammount of Galaxy Nexus S Screen's that are on there it didn't seam like anyone would have any replacement screen's... could be wrong though! Any help appreciated

You broke the screen already!? What happened?

You not going to tell me that you didn't insure device worth 500quid?

ill admit that this is the first phone ive had that i DID insure !

What happened? ... How is broke?

I was wondering how long it would be before someone killed one. I very much doubt you'll have any luck sourcing a screen for one this soon after it's release, your only choice might be to contact Samsung regarding repair I'm afraid.

Haha, yep I broke the screen. Well I've cracked it any whoo. Still working perfectly fine . I dropped it yesterday when I was walking to work. Landed right on a curb....
Yeah I didn't insure it, never dropped the previous phones I've had, this ones a slippery bugger though.
I didn't think there'd be screens out yet, I'll keep my eyes posted for some. Anyone know any decent sites to check?

There wont be any replacement screens out for quite a while im afraid, maybe 6 months or more as this is such a new phone and all available stock will be going to make the phone itself or held by samsung for repairs. As mentioned before your only option if you want it fixed is to send it back to samsung for repair or claim under your contents insurance if you have accidental cover.

do you have accidental damage on your home insurance? might be worth checking if they will cover you that way. All my gadgets are covered this way, whether inside or outside the house.

God know's ha, I'm currently living at my mother's so no idea if she has or not! Ahhh well, as i said i didn't expect there to be any screens. I can still use the phone, and at the moment can't be arsed with the hassil of ringing all these place's to check if they will replace it. Thanks anyway's guys, Got a perspective from it if anything .

Did you pay for it with a credit card? You may be covered for accidental damage eg barclaycard:
Purchase protection
Buy eligible goods worth over £50 with a Visa or MasterCard credit card and they will be protected against accidental damage, loss or theft for the first 90 days, subject to an excess of £50. If any of these occur in that period, you should notify us within 45 days of the incident, and the police within 36 hours. You're covered for:

You might want to look into a warranty like square trade. I was looking at insurance options myself and square trade seems to be the best. They allow you to buy insurance for a phone that is up to 30 days old. It might not be the most ethical thing to do to buy it for an already broken phone but they wouldn't offer that service if it wasn't profitable for them.
The plan is not cheap, and there is a deductible for replacement but it beats having a broken phone for 2 years.

I am shocked . 500 quid phone barely a couple of weeks old and you can't be arsed to get it fixed? I would have literally in tears!

i saw on eBay it has already full housing.

The only parts site I know of is cnn.cn.
It doesn't look like they have anything for this phone right now though.

Well it isn't that bad. I can still use the phone perfectly and only notice the cracks when the screen is off. I can't get hold of a screen and am not dealing with insurance company a cause I feel them to be a majour pain in the arse. No point in getting worked up over something I can't change . I'll buy a screen when I find one online. Thanks for all your options though

I'll be going to china on december 7-8 and 14-16, i'll check it out for you, i'll look on the 7, and let you know, and if the price is ok, you can paypal me and i'll buy it on the dec 14, at present i'm searching for white nexus s battery cover for members in this forum.
dont expect the screen to be cheap, i remember the nexus s screen cost approximate USD 120 when the phone was first released.

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for 5 days, and have also cracked the screen.
Problem is I have no idea how it happened. Phone was fine this morning when I set out for work and put it in my trouser pockets. But when i got to work and went to use it there was a huge crack across the screen, about at the point where the curve starts.
So i thought i would try my luck and see if I could get it replaced under warranty, as i had not dropped it or damaged it in any other way, so felt it was a manufacturing defect. Unfortunately I had no luck. As far a Phones4u (Where ig got it from) are concerned a cracked screen is accidental damage, so i will have to pay to get it repaired.
Then they quoted me a cost of £40-£70 for the repair, with the final cost inside that range depending on the amount of damage they had to fix. Now if the fix comes in under £70 i will be extremely happy. When i broke a Galaxy S screen it was £70 for the part alone, so under £70 for the part and fix looks like a good deal, so i accepted thinking i would get nowhere with my warranty argument.
I am waiting for the catch as currently it sounds too good to be true, as i was expecting something closer to £200. I will let you all know how it goes.

Pics or it didn't happen
telepathically sent with my Galaxy Nexus which is being imprisoned by FedEx

pics
same thing happened to me, dropped from 2 feet onto linoleum.
still very usable, only somewhat annoying. guess i will wait a few months for replacements to appear. in the meantime i am ordering a case. also just want to say i have never dropped and broken a phone in my life before this.

replacement screen

i know this is a long shot being as how the phone is so new, but long story short my screen is cracked to ****. it still works 100 percent it's just stupid looking with the cracked screen. anyone know where to get a legitimate replacement screen?
no i did not get the warranty plan and yes i looked on ebay. anywhere else?

Kind of ressing a dead post, but found this. at 182 dollars, cheapest I can find out on the market right now... recently my phone has suffered a glass shattering as well....
i found an ebayer selling at 250, but became unlisted after a few days (prob sold out right now) and a few other stores selling for 250.

It's going to be hard to find a screen cheap. The screens alone are between 225-250 thats not including if you're paying somebody for the labor. Quite honestly you're better off buying one second hand. Due to the nature of the screen glass and digitizer being married together to create the slim feel it also brings more expense in replacement...and get the insurance next time...its only 25 cents a day.

reason why I dont get insurance is cause there's an extra deductible. of at least 110-130. On top of that, they' might send you a refurbished one, not actually just repairing your phone. And that one may come with more problems than its worth. I definitely don't think insurance is worth it.
You'll end up paying 250 to replace the screen through a 3rd party repair shop, 180 if you do it yourself, or 280 (130 deductible plus 150 insurance cost over 20 months) over the life of the phone to repair a broken screen. If you go the insurance route, you'll pay 150ish regardless if you break your screen or not.

$162 at Samsung
It is $162 directly through Samsung. That covers 2nd day air both ways and the repair. Six day turn around and real time repair tracking. It is truly the only way to do it.
They expedite it since it is such a new device really I don't see how you could choose any other way!

square trade has a 50 dollar deductible. And I believe the fine print says you can file a claim only once every 2 years. If you file a claim in the first year, you'll have to buy new coverage.
Essentially, insurance is a company that is trying to make money, so I don't see how it is a good investment. But if you do go for square trade, google 30% off or 20% off coupons. They send them out fairly frequent.

Are they selling the white screens? May pick one up along with the white battery cover if the price is right

Dropped my phone today!!

So my phone fell out of my hands today onto my hardwood floor and the screen shattered. Of course since it was my fault I had to file a claim with my favorite company of all time [/sarcasm], Asurion. Well I filed my claim and was informed that I will be receiving a refurb. Joy of joys.
Now, the question is, the screen is shattered but I'm fairly certain that download mode can still be accessed and I do believe my counter is at 1. Is that going to void my insurance? Does anyone know? If it does, I have 15 days to figure out how to get the counter reset. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance all!

insurance doesn't care if its rooted . You filed because its damaged. Insurance covers anything not covered in warranty.

I have GMG insurance and i believe if you request a brand new phone, you get one.

Oh thats good to know. UNfortunately here in the states Asurion only gives you what they want. So I have no hope of getting a brand new phone even if I request one. They'll just tell me to be happy with what I have an shut the hell up. I am glad to know that I'm safe even though I am rooted. Makes me feel a little better. My current SGS2 is a beast and seeing as others have had problems that I NEVER had with my GS2 I really hope the new one I get is just as good. I'm praying hard lol.

if it's just the screen that is dead
you can always buy a replacement screen and fix it on your own, or some friend that is more tech handy man

The only thing is the replacements are not AMOLED. They are LCD replacements. I've looked up the OEM version before and it'll cost you up to $500 for AMOLED.

@AllGamer: I thought about going that route. But I just feel like the phone would never be the same. Instead I'll pray that the QC Goblins at Asurion are good at what they do.
Maybe I'm just naive!

Our screen is that easy to break? I have the D30 case but i'm still concerned this could happen. Thought the screen was built with gorilla glass?

I think most people here hate cases including my self but I still wear one,this accidents always happen to everyone so why would people risk destroying a 550 dollar phone?

Dude that sucks! Gorilla glass even has a weakness. I've dropped mine once and got lucky but still left a nice little gash in the upper right corner.
That's what we have insurance for. I couldn't imagine not insuring this 500 dollar device.

This place lists as OEM, even if it is listed at LCD. OEM is OEM as far as I know. If it's not then it's false advertisement.

i can't say for sure, but a screen protector + a D3O case makes a pretty good formula
it saved my T989 twice on what would have been 2 fatal accidents
you can find both of my old topics in General
one was face down drop
the other was submerged in water
.../AG ***knocks on wood*** and hopes this doesn't jinx it the 3rd time

Gorilla Glass makes it more likely that the phone will shatter when dropped. Gorilla glass works because it hardens the screen to protect against scratches. The downside is the process that hardens the glass makes it cracking and shattering more likely

Hey OP. just wondering, how much did they charge you for the refurb replacement?

These ads are not written by tech people. It is physically impossible to fit an lcd screen and the needed digitizer into the same space as the amoled screen. It just won't work. They are thicker and need a back light, and that's just the panel. If it fits it is amoled. If it says Samsung on the back of the panel it is probably oem. I don't know if these are being counterfeited yet. It a very involved process to make the displays and probably not profitable to make fakes... at least ones that work.

Cracked my screen, what are my options?

Hoping to hear from people who have dealt with this before. Cracked my screen pretty badly but luckily (relatively...) it still works as far as i know. I don't have insurance and while I'm gonna deal with it for now I'd eventually like to get it replaced, fixed, or upgrade to a new phone. What are ballpark figures for cost considering my contract isn't up for another year and a half and i don't have insurance? What would you do if you were in my situation?

my advice: get it fixed

newalker91 said:
Sprint will not repair the screen, so that's not an option. Replacing the phone would be around $250 cheapest for a used device, $550 for a retail price device. Sending it in to a 3rd party repair company would cost you the $150 for the screen plus hourly labor, making it closer to $200. Factor in shipping cost and you may as well buy a phone.
Replacing the screen is easy. Undo the 6 philips head screws in the back housing, work a thin plastic wedge around the rim and pop the housing off. Undo the two screws on the board, unclip the ribbon cables, reverse the process onto the new screen. Takes about 15 minutes if you haven't done it before.

Sprint won't allow that. If that were the case everybody would be doing that.
If I were you I would buy dude's screen who is posted above this post and after that I would go on YouTube to see if I could find a video on how to assemble or replace the Epic touch's screen. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

If the Insurance was added the best you could do is process and insurance claim and get a refurbished phone for $100.
Changing out the screen is pretty simple. Just make sure you watch the camera connection at the top and the one at the bottom of the board. Every DIYer seems to miss those two.

It's very unfortunate that our assemblies cost so much, when the iphone assembly is like 40 bucks and to get it installed will run about 90 if you don't do it yourself. Our phone seriously needs cheaper replacement parts.

You can search on Craigslist and eBay for phones with bad esn. And simply make one working out of two.
You can ask on forums for people who bricked their phones beyond returning point and sprint refuses to help them.
But of the guy above gives you a good deal. Take it.

Yes, I went in the day it happened and asked if they could replace it or what my options were. Other than buying a new phone for retail price, they said they couldn't do anything and didn't even do the repairs themselves. They just referred me to World of Wireless (I called them and they were charging $250 for the 'custom order' repair they'd have to do).

Buy a new one off Amazon for $8.00 and install it yourself. It take about a half hour and save a bunch of money
