[Q] Samsung OEM i9250 digitizer assembly: Where to buy?

I am trying to find a Samsung OEM Galaxy Nexus i9250 Black Full LCD Display with Touch Screen
Digitizer Assembly. I see several "compatible" ones on Ebay (not Super Amoled), but I cannot find
a genuine Samsung OEM digitizer with the exception of a couple of Chinese sites that I am not sure
I could trust. I contacted Samsung and they advised me that they do not sell parts to consumers.
Has anyone tried any of the digitizers for sale on Ebay?

I bought one from eBay couple of months ago to replace my wife's broken screen after i was quoted 300$ from local shops. I got it for 180$ and replace it myself. Have no problems with it since then, it actually looks better than my Galaxy Nexus that has the original one, much better colors.

Thanks for the feedback. I had seen some comments on other message boards where a couple of people who had
used digitizers bought on ebay were not pleased with the display. I am happy to hear of your positive experience,
so I may take a second look at buying one off Ebay, if I am unable to locate a Samsung OEM digitizer. Who was the
seller on Ebay that you purchased from?

Samsung replaced my screen for $191.60 with free shipping on the way back.
Once they received it, they gave it to ups in 4 business days.

I did contact Samsung, but my Galaxy Nexus is a UK GSM phone that I purchased from Expansys USA. Samsung USA will not support or repair my phone in any way. I then contaced Samsung in the UK and they advised me that they would not repair my phone because I do not live in the UK. I contacted Expansys USA to see if they could send the phone to Samsung UK for repair on my behalf, and they said the charge would be between $200.00 and $300.00. I thought it was odd that he quoted me an estimated cost with that wide of a range. The Expansys representative did not seem very interested in my problem.
I was anxious to get my Galaxy Nexus when it was first released, and that is why I purchased it from Expansys USA. I see now why some people cautioned me about buying from importers. I will never buy another phone from an importer.

Suspicious Galaxy Note 2 phone

I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from amazon here in the UK , however the phone that arrived appears to be from India. Should I return it to the seller? If I decide to keep it, can I use the warranty? I'm puzzled.

Samsung dont have international warranty..
The warranty applies to country of the invoice, if you have a uk invoice than you have a valid warranty in UK and maybe in EU...No problem if it was a imported phone, it is only a problem if the N7100 reference didnt exist in UK, that is not the case.
If it has a India warranty you have to pay to repair it on UK..
Taken from warranty information ( UK Samsung website )
"Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd support a product purchased in Europe if it has an EU Bloc Warranty. This warranty is present where the top of the product warranty card clearly states 'European Bloc'. If the product is purchased in another part of the globe then Samsung may attempt a repair. Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd cannot guarantee the outcome."

Since I bought it on Amazon UK, does that mean I have warranty?

Items Ordered Price
1 of: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 16GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Titanium Grey
Condition: New
Sold by: TopT (seller profile)

That is not amazon. The seller is TopT so its a third party seller. You would have to deal with that vendor which is a pain and some of them don't care once item is sold.

Thanks for your help, I'll try to return it. I'll keep this topic updated.

Yeah next time when buying from amazon make sure it says ships and sold by Amazon usually its right below the price and buy it button.

For those interested, I contacted the seller about this issue and he said he'll give me 12 months of warranty himself, so I decided to keep the phone.

be smart and react now as its seller warranty so he will get it repaired by himself if anything wrong happens than he will make extra charges saying that this defects has been caused by the user i.e.you so ultimately a lot of fuss for later use .
better return the device now and ask for a complete return and by from an authorized seller that provides warranty from company i.e samsung
as seller warranty phones comes at very low price from the original atleast a 20-30% price drop expected .

Help ebay phone warranty issue

I got a Verizon HTC One by auction from ebay and the seller claimed it is brand new.Everything looks like it is new but there is a defect on the screen.Looks like a purple blemish and it doesn't seem like a dead pixel or something since I can see the defect even when the phone is powered off.The seller said he got it from craigslist and I contact Verizon and HTC and looks like they only take care of the phones sold by them.Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

fix for you

Yeah I'm aware of this.However it looks like it is a manufacturing defect.The seller just claims it is brand new and I guess new device could have defects so it's not the seller to blame I guess.The seller should be an individual though,not a company or something like that.

yes, but
He sold it to you and is obligated to send exactly what was described, not a reject.
And he's likely in a better position to get it replaced than you.
No shame to say you didn't get what you expected and would like a refund.

The seller refused to accept the return stating that he claimed no return on his listing.Looks like I have to ask eBay to step in.Do you think I have a chance to win this?

+1 I buy and sell on eBay daily and I can assure you will get your money back. I also recommend paying with PayPal to add an "extra layer of protection".

next
My cynical take: he bought it from a shady Craigslist seller, discovered the flaw, then turned around and sold it on eBay with no returns.
Even though he specified No Returns, eBay will still open a case if the item is not As Described.
You can explain to eBay that you did not get a New item as was posted by the Seller because there is a flaw.
Clearly describe flaw. Document it well with multiple pictures from several angles.
No fight or argument here; just you saying you'd like to return it because of the undisclosed flaw. Then let eBay decide it.
This happened to me and after a week or so, I was refunded thru Paypal and returned it to Seller's address.

Thanks for the reply.He always emphasizes that it is factory sealed phone and there is no way for him to check if there's defect but actually if you own a One you know the box is not sealed and anyone can open the box and take the phone out.The plastic wrap can also stick multiple times.He just put brand new on his listing and he said he sold me exactly what the listing said.He even said my request is "ridiculous"now I'm done arguing with him.Just wait until Friday to ask ebay step in.

I guess if you purchased through ebay you have to pay with paypal right?Anyway I paid with paypal and hope everything goes well after ebay steps in.This seller looks good at first but starts to get ridiculous after I told him about the defect.Now I think he just put no return on his listing trying to avoid this kind of problem.

PayPal is usually the only payment option but not always.. Anyways eBay will get it all sorted out for you.

Now I feel the same way as yours.He replied several times stating that it is a factory sealed phone and he can't check if anything is wrong and since I powered on the device,it becomes an used phone.Actually the box is not sealed and anyone can take the phone out and power it on.He even blame me about this saying I could make the defect myself.Reminds me of rude sellers back in China on taobao years ago.
Again,thanks very much for your help.

Make sure that you're sending him message through the e-bay page and not personal e-mail. This way you'll have a "paper" trail showing paypal/ebay all of the sellers BS and how rude he is to you. If all else fails you can contact your bank and they will forcefully reverse the transaction and get you back the money. I would use that as a last resort after trying paypal/ebay.

Thanks for your advice. I did contact him through eBay and they should have all the records.I think my request is pretty reasonable and hope I won't need to contact my bank.

Anyone interested in a new Le Pro 3?

Hello all!
Last year my Le Pro 3 charging port burnt, luckily it still was on warranty so they sent me a new one. I bought an Essential Phone right away so I did not use the new phone . I am selling on ebay so if anyone is interested send me a PM to give you the link.

You might want to list it on Swappa too. On eBay you have to pay eBay and Paypal fees (unless they've changed that).

I remember many posts from you back when I was here flashing roms to my LePro 3, good to see you are still here :good:

Oneplus 5T - Looking for used motherboard

My OnePlus 5T died recently. Does not turn on or charge. No response when connecting to PC. Out of warranty by 7 days :crying:. My best guess based on what I have read is that the motherboard died. I imported the mobile from the USA, so sending it all the way there for an out of warranty repair is not viable. I am looking to source a used/dead unit with working motherboard. I can arrange international shipping. Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry to read about your misfortune. About the only place you're going to get a main board replaced for a 5T is oneplus, and it will probably cost more than the phone is worth at this point. You could buy a used one on a site like swappa for $350 or so and scavenge yours for spare parts. If it were me, I'd just upgrade to a new phone, and try to sell the dead one for $100 - $150 for the spare parts. Reverse the situation so to speak.
Have you tried to contact the vendor? 7 days past warranty sucks, but maybe someone there might cut you some slack. Worth a shot.

Contacted OnePlus, but they stated it is out of warranty. Pretty useless support.
Not sure what I will get for it locally as it is not officially sold in my country. My plan B is to buy a new OnePlus 6 during my holiday in France next month. The 2 year EU warranty is a lot better than the 1 year in the USA.

Oneplus US or China? I thought in China they will take out of warranty phones for repair, but I could be wrong. Still, probably cost prohibitive.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78907997&postcount=5 See what he's offering.

I have used motherboard. I am in India.
Hi just read your problem about one plus 5t my phone was fall and my screen glass everything got broken. I visit to OnePlus service centre to replace the screen but ask me to pay fortune on it if you didn't buy any phone yet you can have my motherboard I live in India. Also if you willing to sell your phone parts I am happy to buy it. Just let me know you can reply to this mgs or email me.
