Question regarding Xperia PLay Flex Cable - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Flex Cable just broke again and I'm planning to order the parts from China. It's only around $3 there for the OEM. However most of the descriptions say that it's a flex cable for the 4G R800i, R800x Z1i.
I was wondering if the flex cables for the non 4G and the 4G variants were just the same? Also are the suppliers from Alibaba reliable?
Thanks in advance guys! Happy New Year!

Yes, they are the same. I've transferred them from an R800x to an R800at as well as ordered three replica replacements online. One replacement didn't work at all and the third I will be installing shortly. They don't seem to last long even when I barely use the gamepad!

I forgot that was why I responded.
I was supposed to ask the same thing!

I see. Where did you get yours?
I'm planning to get the flex from a Chinese distributor from Alibaba.com Seems a bit shady for the price. But if it lasts at least 6mos-1yr then it's good enough since I might get at least 5.
Ended up getting a Lumia 520 as a replacement phone until I get my Xplay repaired.

Well, they're about $9 shipped on eBay so don't go too wild.

Refurbished lapdock questions

Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.
As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!

I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.
Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.
how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?
175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan
Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

175 should have been the original price. cant complain i paid 250 for mine brand new.

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.
$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.
Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

It's great, you won't regret it.
Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

I got mine for $143 also with some coupon code. Had a scratch on the top lid, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Scratch could've come from the shipping US->EU too, not quite sure. Either way, it's worth that price

Google is your friend! lol Come on now, I'm sure Ebay has them it might cost you about $25 though.
Yeah I saw 2 on eBay and your right about the price but come on now that's hella expensive for a small price of plastic.... I was hoping somebody had a better place to look and cheaper that's highway robbery price in my opinion. Maybe somebody on here has a broken model ,right be willing to part with there's.

I feel you. Good luck. Ask a sales rep at your local best buy if you can buy one from the desplay model.
You might have to swollow your pride and pay up bro, because that sd slot needs to be protected.

I bought my Xoom from eBay as well.
The part you need Iis called the SIM Card tray..
I called the support number on the Motorola site and told them I needed one. They asked a few questions but they ended up saying they would send me one for free. I don't have it yet but hopefully I will soon.

I got an email back from Motorola.
The list price of the tray is $0.99
They say it has been shipped.
Thanks I will look into calling motto
I would have called it a sd card cover, thank you for setting me straight

Received my SD card cover/SIM tray a few days ago. packaging was a bit overkill... an 8.5 x 11 padded envelope that I had a hard time finding the tray in!
Only took a few days and no charge!
It is good to be a dedicated Moto customer... the amount of Moto products I own I think I should get my next devices gratis
It took me awhile to stop being lazy. But I called Motorola last week and ordered 2 SIM card covers 99 cents a peice and a few bucks for shipping... Very fast shipping.

Anyone know where to buy the Pogo Desktop Dock?

Now that the Nexus 4 is out, it looks like Google is no longer selling the Galaxy Nexus pogo dock. Does anyone know where I should look without being charged an arm and a leg?

eBay, search the topic and you will find pages of discussions and attempts to find the docks from google and/or Samsung
Yeah haha ^
You will be charged an arm and a leg, though. And Verizon ones tend to be more expensive. The docks originally cost $90 new, and now people can sell theirs and make at least that, auctions on eBay can take it up to $120+ and they only pop up every few days.
Best bet is to pounce on a buy it now as soon as possible, then you'd only have to pay $80 or so. Just make sure it's the Verizon dock if you have the VZW GalNex and vice versa.

I am looking to get one too. I don't want to buy the one of ebay. Anyone willing to part with their GSM pogo dock if they aren't using it? I'll offer $40. Or any tips on where I can get a used one in working condition? Amazon doesn't have any, Play obviously doesn't have them on sale anymore. Found a few with bundles on swappa, but seller wouldn't sell it separately. Ebay as mentioned above is shipping from UK and it comes out to like $90 with shipping.

If you want one be ready to put up $90. I got lucky and found a new one for $85ish shipping from Japan
PM me if anyone is interested in getting a brand new one.
For GSM version only.
Cheers,

And that's where I got mine ^ recommend him highly!
I'm embarrassed at what I paid for mine, and that was a used one on ebay plus I had to modify it for the toro. I needed it though I've been using a dock on my phones every night for the past few years and wasn't about to give that up. Trust me, these things are damn near extinct and the people who have them know that.
MonoPrice has a nice adaptor for the Galaxy Nexus. I can't post links yet (under 10 posts), but it's product ID 9291
I was thinking about making a dock that uses the internals from that part.
I saw a Verizon Pogo dock going for $180 on eBay the other day... Ugh I hate price gougers...

Original Charger ?

Hey,
I lost my Original Samsung charger some where and now need a new one. I looked at few accesorries stores locally but mostly they have the crap china stuff.. Official dealers were asking for a high price. I was wondering, what is the source do you recommend for picking up a new one ? eBay/Amazon ?
There are many after market one on eBay but I believe they charge slowly and potentally damaging the battery..

I got an exact Samsung charger from ebay recently. Exact same thing that came with the phone. Pretty cheap too.
Seller is pangea_deals. I just looked, and they are still selling them. $6.25 I think.

I have ordered one from China but to be honest I am not too satisfied with it
Look for an oem authentic charger on ebay or amazon.
