Hello ladies and gents.
I got a quick question, but first a little back story...
I owned a Droid Incredible for a few months already.. *Oct.2010 however it got stolen a month ago.. I have retrieved the phone already.
While I was at my Apartment...my phone fell and it's broke... screen shattered..case dinged up.. and now I have a beat up paper weight..
My local carrier which I bought the phone from are all out...and they asked if I wanted a Fascinate...I like the phone.. but I am so used of the Dinc with so many things I did with it.. I've grown to love it....
My question is this...
Where can I get one..I've looked on Ebay.. I would like at least "like new" condition.
I've google searched and I've came across some for a decent price.. but these online "stores" either have not seller ratings or what ever....
I am no noob at buying stuff from ebay, but the stuff I've bought were either BNIB stuff or some after market hop ups for R/c Cars...
Please point me in the right direction.
I am starting to hate not having a phone to tinker with.
*If this is in the wrong section pls move it to the correct one.kthx.

eBay is the best place.
Buy from a seller who has more than 50 ratings and you are almost positive to get exactly what you are expecting to get.
They would lose more money by getting a bad rating than they would selling you a messed up product.
That -and- the fact eBay has buyer protection, though it is a pain to work with.
Make sure it has a clean ESN if you are getting used.
Thanks anybody else..
I have a post in the marketplace pm me
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
you can try swappa.com
Craigslist -> cellphone section
Just make sure you call verizon when your about to purchase or beforehand, and check if the ESN is reported stolen. If not then your good =)
I got a "like-new" Dinc from verizon a month ago by accident when they were suppose to send me a brand new one because of warranty. They never billed me for the "like-new" phone, so I have an extra one. I'll sell it to you for $350. PM if interested.

You can go to http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ and just buy the parts you need and replace it yourself. Much cheaper than buying a whole new phone.
And $350 for a like-new phone ... he could get a like-new one on eBay for much cheaper.

I have no clue if the phone is dead.. it starts up though... anything after that.. is just a guess.
Thanks for the suggestion.. I will inspect the phone and see what I think can be repaired..

True... and I can't get it from wirefly if without contract.. My zip isn't recognized... as a valid area...
Honestly, if you don't want to go through Verizon- eBay is your best choice.
Most people and companies who are looking to sell devices sell them there instead of creating an entire new website to sell them on.
But I think you don't like eBay very much so I won't push it anymore

So the glass front is cracked and im guessing the actual amoled screen is broken also? You feel it vibrate when you turn on but nothing after that?
If that is the case this is what you would need
Digitizer - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-glass-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement.html
Bezel - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-front-housing-bezel-replacement.html
Screen
AMOLED - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement.html
SLCD - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement-slcd.html
You will also need to get tools that will be able to remove the screws on the phone. I personally got this, has exactly what is needed plus so much more for a great price.

If you do it that way just watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MugUYhtP0_o
It shows you everything you need to know on how to take apart the incredible.
If that isn't what is wrong with the phone, well at least you know what to do if you do just crack your screen lol.

wow..
I may do this.. It does vibrate.. and the home buttons on the bottom light up...
The actual red part of the phone the bottom left is dented somewhat..
Swappa or Craigslist
Honestly...
If my phone is beyond repairable.. then I am not gonna try and get these parts.. but I like the idea that it CAN be done.
I've dealt with electronics stuff before.. e.g Full Blown Water Cooled Computer.
I am not afraid of EBAY.. it's just that... these kinds of purchases e.g phone purchases..through the *bay.. is luck of the draw I guess.

If it does that then i'm 99% sure you can replace the screen, digitizer, & bezel, and you will have a working phone again. It def turns on, with that vibrate means you can at least get into the bootloader. So you can download this file
http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip
rename it PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, boot into the bootloader, run the update, and this will return the phone to a completely stock 2.2 as if you bought it from VZW.

Yeah, eBay can be iffy. But if you do go that route, just look at the feedback percentages and the comments. Any recent negatives and move on to the next seller.

Thanks..
Hmm... That is the best words I've heard in a while.. that it's almost 99% a possible fix.
Let me describe what happens when I "turn it on"..
It does vibrate like usual when it boots.. however.. I can't see much.. haha..
The day it broke.. the screen would light up showing the splash screen as well as other parts.. but with cracks.. I've never seen a phone this jacked up before..
That's about it.. If in fact this is a good indication that it is in fact fixable.. I will ordering the parts ASAP... and have it reconnected..
Question.. with the impact the phone encountered..with the "motherboard" be so much affected to where the actual innards are shot.. say..the gps stuff.. or the accelromater *I know spelling is off.. haha..
I am hoping this all goes well and dandy...
Thanks everyone.
Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?
Refurbished lapdocks sell for $175.99 with free 2 day shipping from the AT&T website. Mine looked brand new.
Please ignore this post.
shipping to Nova Scotia Canada ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. I just ask the opposite question as you: why is the OP not allowed to sell his lapdock for whatever the market pays?
whew...so getting back to the lapdock will you ship to canada Hey dude get what you can for it..cheapest here in Canada that i can find is $300 +

Hey everyone,
I'm thinking of selling my One X, and I wanted to know how much you guys thought I could get for it.
I was hoping for no less than £150-160 for it, as that'll pay off my contract.
Apart from the screen, which has quite a few light scratches on it, the rest of the phone is in excellent, almost perfect condition and it's bootloader has not been unlocked.
Also, where do you think I should put it up for sale? Ebay?
Thanks all,
LM
This ain't no buy & sell department. Check similar phones on different second hand sales/auction sites and go from there.

Okay, no worries, was just wondering how much you thought it was worth, tis all
I'll check elsewhere then..
Anyone know of a place to get the digitizer/inner screen for a reasonable price? I have a perfectly functional E4GT that was dropped on the day it was purchased (literally on the way out of the Sprint store) and the inner screen was cracked.
Perfectly functional otherwise, it still boots up and everything, just that the screen is black.
Attached are some pictures so you know what I mean. Thanks in advance for any help

Haven't had to do that *yet* (knock on wood). I wouldn't know where to look. But if you need help after you get it up and running hit me up, this device can be a little confusing at first.... I had to help BigSplit get everything set up.
Will do :good:
We have 3 E4GT in our family and I have replaced 3 screens w/ digitizer so far. It is easy to do, but finding them at a decent price is the hard part. You use to be able to find them for around $50. I just dont see spending $85-$135 when I can do an insurance claim for $100. The next one I do I'm thinking of trying to just replace the glass since the digitizer is fine. Good Luck!

I managed to crack my tablet already . It's just the glass, the tablet works fine and the screen looks and works normally underneath. If I call samsung how much will it cost? Is it possible for me to fix it myself, or is everything fused together?

Sorry to hear that. This is just my opinion but because this tablet is newly released I doubt you will find much on the internet on how to replace the screen on your own, I think you will also struggle to find the parts. Calling samsung would probably be your best bet if you want it fixed now or if you can wait a couple of months I'm sure there will be videos online about how to do it. Hopefully it works out for you mate.

I should have made my point clearer, apologies, I meant that they should give you contact details of samsung aprroved technicians in the area but yes he would have to pay for the service.
Thanks for the replies...I called up Samsung and they said to send it and they'd fix it for 200$..ouch. I'm not sure if that's worth it or not. I'm considering taking it to a third party computer repair shop or just dealing with it until the parts become widely available. It works fine, it's just ugly XD. This all depends on if the price was reasonable. Is 200$ reasonable to replace the glass? If it is I'll just ship it off to Samsung now

Ouch. So then you'd have an $800 tablet. I don't know. Depends on your funds and ability to toss money around.

I think $200 is way too much - I know this is easy for me to say but if I were you I'd wait a while, to put it into perspective the OLD note 10.1 Digitizer costs just $20 and maybe a few tools will cost you no more than $10.
Honestly I'd wait and see if its really difficult or not and then attempt it yourself if you think your capable to do it. I bet there will be videos online of people taking the 10.1 2014 edition screen apart soon but then again if you mess it up you've wasted a $500 device. Also call a few local electronic shops once the Digitizer becomes available on ebay surely they will charge a lot less for labour.
Like I said its easy for me to say all this but obviously you know whats best. Best of luck mate I really do hope it works out.
I purchased it with a prepaid debit card so no purchase protection. I think I'll just take Geordie Affy's advice and wait it out. 200 bucks is a pretty significant amount of money for me. The wait will punish me enough so I'll know to be super careful with expensive new items in the future lol.

I would sell it on ebay for $75 less than what you paid for it.
You may get a bite.
Then chalk up the loss as experience.
Curious to know how much force did it take or what happened that made it crack.

Search online for SquareTrade discounts. I got 30% off mine for the GN 2014. If you are within 30 days of your purchase, you can still purchase a warranty, and claim it down the road at some point. That's kind of in the "Grey Zone", but may be your best bet until the parts are easily available.

I bought in only about 3 weeks ago but....since I called Samsung and they have me on record saying it cracked, wouldn't ST find out from them and not cover it anyway? I really wish i had been more careful. I wonder how many months it will be until parts are available

If I were you, I would get the SquareTrade warranty. There is no way that they would know about any conversations that you had with Samsung. Plus, even after you get this issue taken care of, it will still benefit you to have the warranty to tackle any future problems. They are pretty easy to deal with in my experience.

I'm just worried that since samsung sent me an email to send the tablet to them and everything, they have it on record that I called it in. Then when squaretrade calls them...Still though, I guess I can get the insurance and even if they don't fix it, it'll be useful to have for any future issues. I'm pretty clumsy

SquareTrade doesn't care if you ROOT your device. I spoke with one of their service reps, and asked that specifically before I purchased the warranty.

I'm not sure I understand. If you buy a SquareTrade warranty, the warranty is with them. Samsung has nothing to do with it.

You're absolutely right...I'm just being paranoid. I purchased the warranty today. Thanks to everyone for your help!
My tab pro s cracked too, and I have no idea how. Is this screen particularly fragile? Mine shows pitting on the keyboard at the same place where the fracture begins. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the magnet that shuts it. Read on Amazon that someone had cracked theirs twice already and the screen was super fragile. ???
