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.
Hi I am asking for help.
I go through alots of phones.
in last six month. I had iPhone 3gs to vibrant to g2 to nexus one to mytouch 4g and back to vibrant.
When I had g2 I sold of right away because of the hinge making screen wobbled even with keyboard closed. Kinda wish kept the g2 instead of getting nexus one.
Anyways I have a offer of like brand new g2 if I add cash 50 on top of my vibrant.
My vibrant is a month old and I'm inculding everything plus + otterbox and another case I got.
Should I do it?
How is the hinge holding up? Does it get loose even more?
I don't care about loose hinge but i really don't like screen wobbling around.
I heard you can replace the spring and make it sturdier. Is it hard to do it?
If this offended anyone in anyway I'm sorry.
feeling generous? buy me some redbulls by clicking donate button!
Been using a g2 from a mt4g for over a month now and loving it. I like the mt4g for its ram and screen but overall I prefer the Hardware keyboard more than the larger screen.

Mytouch 4g screen is a lottery. Half of the units comes with washes out screen. Took me 5 exchange to get a new one then I just ended up selling it and getting the vibrant again.. but I miss the feel of hardware on HTC.
This will be my last Samsung phone unless its nexus s.

g2
id get the g2 or hold out cuz theres some pretty badass phones coming out in the second quarter,had it a few months now and couldnt be happier only thing it truely lacks is a front facing camera but standing in front of a mirrior will do the trick if you really rely on vid calls! hope this helps
Did the hinge fix myself, after you get over voiding your warranty physically it's not so bad
have had my g2 for almost 6 months and the hinge is holding up great. never a problem with it and the phone still feels as solid as ever. it's one amazing device =)
Traded my vibrant with a messed up g2.. lots of scratches. Bought an oem backdoor from ebay and springs..
Feels great in hand I love it

I'm also a 6mo G2 user. Love it! Hinge has never given me trouble. I wish the keyboard wasn't there (swype FTW!), but the rest of the phone more than makes up for it =)
I have a dinc with the Sony lcd display(cracked) and I was wondering if it is possible to replace it with the Samsung Amoled lcd. I've searched all over for the Sony lcd and no one has them.

try ebay? i found my amoled screen there for a good price. from what i read you can not swap screen types
You can find amoleds all day I have the sony lcd.
Try RepairsUniverse. They list the SLCD on their site.

wow they charge double what people sell amoleds for on ebay. Wish I could find SLCD on ebay 120.00 is way to much to pay.
I agree, it is rather costly. It's the only place I've seen the part listed. That said, I haven't specifically gone looking for it either.
For 120 he would be better off getting a bricked one on ebay our hell he could get a full working one for that.
Hey, my friend's kid broke his Z1C's glass, now it doesnt work properly, so he wants to replace it. Hungarian stores do it for around 100-150 bucks, but I've found some replacement screens on eBay for around $35-40 (with glass and digitzer). Are those low quality ones? Does anyone have any experience with them? I know that my Nexus' cheap replacement screens are not the best choice, that's why I'm asking. Can anyone suggest me any trustable sources with mostly cheap prices? Thanks for any help!
it will work but the quality is a bit lower. for normal user it is ok, for some not.
I would prefer let it change officially and buy something else for kids to play. Moto G for example.
Looking for an unlocked phone around $100. Looking at a seller on Swappa who does LG G2's for $99 but used. I've recently stumbled across an eBay seller with brand new LG G Pro's F240k's for $109 or so. Is it worth getting the LG G Pro in new condition for US MetroPCS usage? I know I'd be missing out on LET but is it worth getting it today?
I would see what else you could get for this price range. My main sell point for this phone was the home led light which I love (most unique I've ever seen before), but other things upset me. I expected the camera to be on par with G2's, but it's not at all. Really wasnt much of an upgrade from my galaxy s2. GPS is also a little funky from 2 different phones I've tested on, however with a little disassembly I was able to improve mine. Besides that, the phone is great (enough cpu, enough battery) but if those 2 things happen to be sell points for you, I would get a G2. A G2 is definetly better than this phone though, the reason I didnt get it was because I didnt like the power button on back design. It feels awkward to me

That helps for sure. I have a Kyocera Hydro Wave for Metro PCS which was free (thank god because it blows) but needs to be replaced. The last flagship phone I had was a Note 3 when they first came out. The G Pro on eBay is brand new but the G2 is used. Thoughts on that? Any camera would be better than this piece of junk lol.
