Need a replacement LCD for your T Mobile Dash?

Check out LCD4PDA who is one of the best sellers on e bay. He's helped me a few times in a crunch with some screens I've replaced.
Because of me sharing my gratitude in this thread here,
he's decided to lookout for all of us and provide us a discount on these LCD screen replacement units he sells on Ebay. He usually has them in large quantities so getting the one you want should not be a problem. He sells screens for other models as well so if you're looking for a different phone's LCD, check his other auctions or email him directly for that. The discount also applies to other model screens as well.
Feel free to enter this code after you purchase your screen unit:
Promo code: Promo_tiguy99
Discount: $4 shipping fee refund
Valid through 01/01/2008
Email him after the auction is over and let him know you want the shipping discount.
T mobile Dash screens usually sell about 40, shipping is around 10-12 dollars so with the discount you should be getting the lowest price on Ebay since the average LCD price is about 5-10 more than his plus you get it in 2-3 days vs ordering them from Hong Kong which can take a week or longer to arrive.
I don't any get credit or anything like that for this. I put in the effort to promote this so people here looking to replace their LCD screens can benefit!
Hopefully you should never have to replace your LCD screen but if you do at least you now have a connection and one of the best customer service experiences you can have as well.
Enjoy!

coooooooool

I just bought one from them. It was shipped very quickly with tools and color instructions. Dash is as good as new.

Sweet! I'm glad everyone's having a good experience with them. Their customer service is superb. I had a technical issue that other sellers/companies would shy away from but LCD4PDA walked me through it and even went as far as helping me with a replacement which I got very fast.
They took a bad situation (cracked LCD) and made it very pleasant which is why I'm going to the extent to vouch on their behalf!

Let me start my accessory list(nothing much, only one i own)

Flow ur list.

I have also tried to get this..but no where it is available.

Accessories
I have an HTC Touch P3450 Elfin for the past 14 months and recently I purchased some accessories from ebay.in . All you need to do is search for HTC on ebay and you'll get mamny products. I bought the following
(a) My hands free kit had become unresponsive, so I bought a HTC HS U110 -3.5mm AUDIO ADAPTER CABLE WITH EARPHONE for Rs 475.00. Its cool.... its actually a micro USB to 3.5mm Adaptor, so you can use ANY headphone available in the market. You can also attend calls while listening to your music!! (Seller - trendy_bazer)
(b) I got a nice leather case with racheted holster for Rs 790.00. Search for Case Mate Case Holster Combo - Black for HTC Touch on ebay. Its nice. The seeler also sent a Protective Screen Guard with it (which itself costs about Rs 130 on ebay). How nice of him. (Seller - pareshwins)
(c) CAR CHARGER FOR HTC TOUCH for Rs 199.00. Normally you get this kind of stuff for 800 - 1000 in Mumbai. (Seller - trendy_bazer)
(d) Universal Car Mount Holder with photo frame for Rs 190.00. This gets fixed on my car windshiled and can hold the phone (with or without the Case Mate Case) securely. (Seller - trendy_bazer)
But GUYS.... I have badly scratched my screen and I desperately need a new one. Is that thing called a digitizer? Where can I get one? I saw the price of a digitizer somewhere as $10.70.... which means it should be available for about Rs 500? Can it be changed by a non geek like me? Someone was asking for a white casing. Say what.... I think a while casing will also look good. Anyone any idea where to knock doors?
By the way, thnks to this forum, I have Onyx WM6.5 ROM loaded on my (originally WM6.0) phone and lots of cool apps. Thanks xda-developers.

^^gr8 accessory list m8..I am yet to get all these..will be needing a pouch, car charger and mount holder..will right away move to ebay and look for it.
Congrats on ur WM6.5..can u also list the cool apps u hv installed in ur elfin?

^^ Well I have the Onyx 5 Final WM6.5 ROM like you and other apps like Email Scheduler, WorldMate Live, WMM Notes, Auto Call Record, CHome Editor, OneNote Mobile and Powerpoint Mobile, Kevtris2 (Game), S2P MediaPlayer, Bing Search, Currency Convertor, Skype, Facebook, Windows Live and Messenger..... And ah yes, I recently installed the Titanium Shadow Neo skin and added Taskanium, CComm and CMultiClock to it.
One accessory I forgot earlier. I use a Jabra BT125 which I bought for some Rs 1400 from The Mobile Store. Works like a song with my Elfin.

^^most of the appz u hv seems to be utilities..anyways..gud coll.
One more accessory in my list..
Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 from eBay

I buy most of my accessories from ebay.com. There are many chinese sellers who sell stuff for cheap. Many ship to india too
I got a Motorala S9 Bluetooth Headset for $30. 8Gb SDHC card for $35, 10 Protective Screen Guard for $1. Bluetooth GPS receiver for $40

is the chinese sellers selling the original goods or fake ones???

Most chinese sell OEM stuff. Also look for their rating and uy from trusted sellers. I have not had a problem with any of my accessories i have brought till now. I have been using it for past 6 months

m8..can u share the stuffs u hv bought frm them and also the sellers name..so we can trust them since u r satisfied..

I have some questions about buying from foreign sellers on ebay. How do you pay them? Is payment directly through credit card or only after transfering funds to your PayPal account? How do you find out the shipping cost to India? Will it not be the case that the shipping cost is sometimes more than the value of the item itself? What about govt imposed import duties, VAT etc? All sellers say on their pages that payment of these taxes is the responsibility of the buyer. So do we pay this or just keep quiet?
I desperately need a digitizer for my Elf. I have royally scratched the original one. And Hong Kong sellers on ebay seem to be the only answer. Local HTC service stations quote a price of Rs 5000 for just changing the digitizer.

whoa..whoa..hw many queries...computernerd come to our rescue!!!

Mostly I search for sellers who have a good rating. Also While bidding i always keep in mind shipping costs and approx rate in india. I have mostly found shipping costs to be geniune, not very high
Some items I have brought the are
Item :Scratch Gaurd
Qty : 10 Pieces
Rate : $0.99
Seller : imode_technology_hit
Item : Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset Headphone Earphone
Rate : $31
Seller : king-shiny
Shipping : Free
Item : Bluetooth GPS Receiver For Laptop PDA Mobile Phone
Rate : $41
Seller : king-shiny
Shipping : Free
Item : #S8T1 8GB SANDISK MICRO SD HC 8G FIT NOKIA N95 N76 E90
Rate : $ 22
Seller : Donot Remember
Shipping $ 12
There have been instances about 10% when I have not received items from the sellers, but i have been fortunate that the ebay dispute has been resolved in my favor and the money has been refunded to my account
Regarding the payment, I use PayPal. I have added my Indian credit card into PayPal.
Till now i have not paid any Indian taxes. MOst of my purchases have been lesser that $100

Thanks, computernerd. That answers most of my queries. I think I will get that digitizer soon. Reason why I was asking about taxes is that I am eyeing a camera lens which is cheaper by Rs 12,000 on ebay at singapore than on ebay.in

gr8 goin..gr8 xplanation..keep it flowin

the digitiser can be changed urself if ur game for taking apart ur phone. I just got my digitiser changed last week i bought it from hira panna in mumbai and fit it myself, lots of instructions available on the net. Shopping from ebay us or uk is very easy all you need is a pay pal account. most accessories from china are indeed knock offs, but they work well for the prices they charge.

How much did the Digitizer cost at Heera Panna? Does it come with tools required to change it? Are Front and Back Covers etc (in different colours)also available there?

hi narflynn619. I went to SM MOA sony service center on sunday August 12. I made a reservation for a flex cable and lcd screen. they told me to wait for 2-3 weeks. well i guess i'll try to wait but i doubt if it would really take 2-3 weeks. In a matter of 4 weeks i would be working at Ilocos province and i dont know if my phone would get fixed by then. It makes me mad to have bought this phone, im so disappointed. I cant use my phone right now and i am forced to buy a temporary cellphone to place my SIM. How much did you buy your flex cable? Would you be kind enough to sell your extra flex cable for xperia play please.

You need not pay for the reservation if you would request for flex cable and screen, provided, you are covered by the product's warranty.
I also went to SM North Edsa lately. They did'nt even bother to take the phone for diagnosis. I just told the attendant of the "grainy screen freeze appearance", and voila... she told me there is a need to replace the flex cables. (well i dont know either if she's right) I didnt bother entrusting my phone to them though i requested for a flex cable and new screen too. The attendant got me pissed off! She gives no "assurance" of a positive solution. She says, "the flex and screen may arrive in 2-3 weeks, (common statement, like a template) but usually goes beyond that, depending upon the availability of the item from the source, no definite time, just call us often for follow up".
Well of course, she's right. But a WARRANTY is a WARRANTY. There should always be available items for warranty covered parts that can be delivered within a DEFINITE period. SONY, you gave us warranty! Warranty for what! Like selling false HOPE! Why not give customers a definite answer!
(Im sorry im not yelling at you) I was just mad about my phone, being so f*****g frustrating.
Maybe i'll try going to Glorietta 3 tomorrow. I hope they would be more professional in dealing with this. Im trying to look for those accessories at e-bay but i dont have a paypal account..
I guess i might turn up asking for a replacement of the unit if not solved. I have availed of the 3-year extended warranty upon purchase. Though I prefer Xperia Play over Arc S (arc goes down to almost 16,000.00 to 19,000.00 per unit now). So if i could get a fair replacement, i would give up my PLAY.

First off, are you a native of Region 1 or just going there to work? I live permanently in La Union, first province just before Ilocos Sur, but I live in Quezon City right now because of my job.
Good luck with that (sarcastic). Like I told you, they're a bunch of soulless pricks who seem to have universal replies to customers in almost all of their branches. See I told you SM NORTH EDSA BRANCH will only drop turd on you! The best branch I've been so far was Glorietta 3. They are very accommodative, willing to help, and friendly I even made friends with one of their technicians.
As for the slider flex, I only have 1 piece remaining and I'm sorry I'm reserving it for the "incoming crisis" (since I noticed that OEM flex for the Xperia PLAY only lasts 5-7 months, I'm disappointed but I'm really in love with my phone right now).
It's just unbelievable that after buying my Xperia PLAY May last year, it had undergone already three repairs in just one year (two repairs for the slider flex and one for the digitizer). I'm hoping the new digitizer and flex cable will now last, as I am soooooooooooo careful in opening and closing the gamepad.
PS, the slider flex cost me around PhP800.00 per piece, converted from UK Pounds.

Looking to sell. Please contact if interested.

Wow, I didn't know the flex cable breaks within 5-7 months. Guess I've just been lucky with my 11 month xp.

Cheapest screen assembly (led + digitizer)

Hello all,
So after the nth drop, my note has a crack in the upper left corner of the screen. Not an issue yet, but I can foresee it delaminating eventually.
I have found the screen assembly on fleabay for ~$180.
it's this the cheapest price available or is there a cheaper one somewhere? I imagine these eBay sellers must be running a significant profit margin.
Thanks in advance,
Roman

Sell your note and keep 180 $ and add it together and buy a new phone.

You can buy a second hand note with $250...
So, yeah, just sell it (maybe hard), and just buy a new phone.

Maybe. Is there a member on this board who has superbricked their phone and wants to sell it? I would pay about 100 bucks for the screen, as long as there are no scratches.

It is possible to replace just the glass...
There are many videos on Youtube for the S3.. I did the same with my Note

[Q] Where to buy really genuine lcd+digitizer+frame, pls?

Hi guys, I would like to ask if somebody had to buy lcd+digitizer+frame, and bought it cheap to advice me where to have a look at, please. In my country stores charge 150$ for it :/ I have found some on ebay, but they don't even have a htc logo on it so I am lost. Thx for your help.

I just bought my son a new screen, digitiser & frame from etradesupply, it arrived today from Hong Kong by dhl ordered 6 days ago, the screen is definitely original and I would highly recommend them, they ship worldwide shipping cost me £11.99 which sounds a lot but I'm happy to have an original and fast delivery.

You have to open your phone and check and compare the colour of the ribbon cable and match it with the screen on etradesupply mate

I found HCQS to be very reliable. They are OEM parts and the site is easy to use. I repair iPhones, iPads, etc. on the side and have ordered a lot of stuff from them over the years.
