Hi,
This morning,I've noticed that my camera glass cover is smashed...still holds in place but is all cracked...have no idea how it happened as I never carry anything with my mobile in same pocket...
Went to carphonewarehouse to ask if it is covered by warranty, and surprise surprise they said NO and that it would be 140 to fix it lol....
Do you guys have any ideas if I could try to fix it by myself,or maybe I should try mailing HTC?? Maybe at the same time they could fix loose bottom cover...
Any advise ?
Thanks,
Lukas

If you are handy, you could probably make one out of perspex or a couple of laminated screen protectors.
Look at the disassembly thread for ideas and inspiration.
Ok,will look for this thread and see

Hi bastic,
Did you solve the problem? How did you repair the glass? Mine is broken too, is there a way to buy the glass as spare part and replace it by my self?
Thanx in advance!

Parts For your HTC Desire HD... Just order the Back Housing... and just let an expert or repair tech piece back your phone.... hope this helps also...
Thanks for the links! So there is no way to replace only the glass
without open the whole phone? I bought the desire hd at amazon some weeks ago. Don't know what happens if I would send it back and claim bad quality of product. Perhaps I could get back the money and buy a new one... has someone experience with amazon in such cases?
Thank you for your help!

Amazon are a great company. 99% of their products are flawless. The 1% was when I ordered a psp (brand new of course) and it had 8 dead pixels (damn Sony). So my dad emailed Amazon (I was a kid then) and they sent a new one to us the next day. We returned the old one. Anyways, it depends on the situation. My dad has been buying stuff from Amazon for over 10 years, so he gets excellent service.
I wouldn't "bump them off" primarily because they're a good company. If you broke it yourself, just get it fixed. Bababa(4minute are awesome singers!) Back to topic
Order spare parts. If you think you can fix it yourself, do so. Otherwise pay a little £££ and watch the magic unfoldn Beware though, go to a respected repair shop. During my time on the HD2 foruma, I used to shudder when I read bone-chilling stories of how people's HD2s were sent back "repaired" with glue dripping all over the screen, and a crack job repair like something off craigslist. My advice: ask your friends!
My xPlay recently took a nasty fall to some concrete. The only notable damage is a n extremelly scratched backplate. Does anyone know where I can buy a new backplate, without buying a case or a new phone?

Dang that's so cheap for the back cover....I kinda wish I had the black XPlay... Lol.
I sometimes wish I had a white xPlay but like my black one too (more Playstation like less iphone like).
The best backplate I imagine is leather covered or chrome but dn't know if it would affect the radio signal...
That with a dual SD adapter maybe and foldable out stand but without making it bulkier
Don't know if it is possible and how much it would have to cost

If there was a backplate made out of rubberized plastic, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I too dropped my phone and it landed on top down a small nick on back plate as well as top screen slider. Battery cover is an easy replacement, I wish the slider part was easily changed
Hello I just dropped my phone on the corner. It is not very strong and easily scratched. I take this opportunity to start a thread on the disassembly of the phone and collect official full cover shells.

Recently cracked a screen on my XS after severe impact , and after the service guy opened it , he found that this chip also fell of a MBO. Anyone know it's function ? Front camera maybe (i hope soo) . He'll try to get it back , but i'm curious
I'd like to buy an LCD display from Aliexpress for replaice my cracked screen.
Has anybody bought LT26i LCD display for replacing from Aliexpress sellers for about $50? Is this realy original or not? Is it has some differences from original Sony in quality, colors, touch screen?

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.

Hi,
I have a play in India, whose slide flex cable is damaged. All other parts are working perfectly.
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.

Hey guys...well my beloved xperia play housing is really getting damaged (i have a cracked battery cover and a little crack on the digitizer, L&R trigger really awful, loosen screws...well lots of issues)
I always loved how it looked on white...so my question is WHERE CAN I BUY THE WHITE HOUSING!
Im not in the US so it must be online :silly:
I bought mine from ebay, try finding a seller in your country ( even if it is slightly more expensive) as faulty items will mean you having to return the items at your own cost.
amazon do them aswell
Try eBay its available in many countries. Thanks and Happy new year.
