Hi,
My moto 360's screen died, because of some water,
but the motherboard is completely fine. so i want to replace it myself.
after some searching troughout the internet i did not find any replacement LCD.
So, i was searching for someone who has a broken moto 360 and still wants some money for it,
i dont care about the condition of the watch, as long as the screen is okay
we can make a deal with the price

You sure it didn't break first? Because I wash my hands with M360, no problems.

My phone was in my pocket today and somehow the screen has cracked. Its not the actual glass though and the touchscreen still works. Is it worth sending it in to HTC or could a mobile phone shop repair it?
Thanks
Can anyone help?
As long as you bought it from Staples, and took one of the protection plans with it, I'd say that you've got nothing to worry about. But my guess is that you haven't bought it that way simply because you've posted this.
I really don't think HTC's gonna own up to this. Although, I'm sure someone would be ready to exchange that if you throw in some money.
Oh, and just a tip.... Don't let that ANYWHERE near water. It's to do with how a capacitive touch screen works.
BTW, could I just ask how exactly it broke? Did you slip... or was the phone in your back pocket... was it in a tight pocket... were you mugged... That sort of suff.
Looks like you have dropped it as there is damage to the casing as well as the screen.

I did not drop it. That damage was done previously and is limited to the removable battery cover.
Anyone else?
Get a quote from your local mobile shop..or if your insured then they should cover it
do you get to fix it?
Hi, so I dropped my One X on the road and before I noticed it, I stepped on it.. It's the first time my phone is damaged after more than a year of using it. Aside from having scars all over it's white body, nothing much happened to the camera, audio, etc.
The bit that I cannot live with is a small burn line that appears yellow and red/pinkish on the center right edge on the screen, it appears more on white backgrounds i.e. browsers, etc.. It's really annoying, I have no warranty nor insurance, and I have no clue on what it actually is.
Can anyone give me a clue on what exactly is it, how to fix it, and how much would it cost? Thanks.

Ah, bad... I think that you damaged screen, so it's hardware and only fix is screen replacement...

Oh noes, I was planning to sell it and get a Nexus 5 after a couple of weeks, but looks like I'm never gonna be able to sell it now.
Any idea how much will a screen replacement cost me?

here you are man there is even the back cover if u want
One X replacement
I think the colouration is due to permanent pressure applied on that part of the screen. Perhaps when you stepped on it you caused some internal component to shift and apply pressure on the screen from inside. I suggest getting a replacement back cover (pretty cheap), open the device, unscrew the motherboard and rescrew see if the pressure point is relieved. Then go ahead and replace the cover and theres a good chance all will be back to normal.
There's a ton of disassembly videos on YouTube. It's pretty easy - I just did it for the first time this week to swap a damaged battery.

Got a replacement camera for my cracked bezel recently and I just realized the camera doesn't seem to work right. When I take a picture with the flash on, the picture comes out looking like nothing but a big white light. Anyone else have this issue or maybe a fix?

You probably got a bad phone and need to do a replacement again. Keep in mind I'm not trying to be rude with this next comment. This is why you don't exchange a perfectly working phone just because it has a crack. Chances are the refurbished phone you get in return is going to suck a$$.

I learned this lesson the hard way. Just did a replacement to prove a ummmm Dev wrong. And now this replacement takes horrible bury pics
BAD ASS G3
Just got my 360 two weeks ago.
Everything works fine for me.
4 days ago, when I was walking in the mall.
Suddenly my wrist with 360 hit the wall by accident, but I didn't feel the impact was so big.
But when I looked at my 360 which only showed few stripes since then.
I was not able to fix it by myself and nor can the local phone repair guys.
So I have no way to order the second one.
Please, beware of sudden impact upon your precious 360.
I also don't recommend wearing it while cutting the grass and using a trimmer. I liked being able to control my music on my wrist while working in the yard until a rock from the trimmer hit my g watch and cracked the screen.
Hmm, this is why I got myself a Spigen Glass Screen Protector for the Moto 360. I don't trust myself, better safe than sorry.
I remember the last watch i actually tried to wear day to day was a Star Trek Watch in late 90's. I had just put my Tigger watch down due to battery problems (replacement batteries kept dying withing a week). First day wearing it I got home from work and looked down. Glass is cracked. Still have it. Cracked glass and all. I am more conscious about something on my wrist now that I started wearing the 360. I stopped my self from reaching under the car seat to pick something up. Hopefully I can keep it out of harms way for a while.
You can push on the bottom left or right edges and see the screen change colors... I'm guessing OP didn't break the glass but actually damaged the components underneath... I don't think any kind of protector would have helped.
i would imagine you shouldnt be able to hit the watch hard enough to cause dmg and not break the screen. id send it in and say you dont know how it got like that..
they might charge you to fix it, or they might just replace it for free.. id still try.

Are you saying that the display cracked/shattered? Or, are you saying that it's just displaying a static, garbled image, but the glass is otherwise fine?
Here's why that matters. If the glass is not cracked, it MAY fall under warranty repair, because it's a solid state device, and such a small impact would not have jarred something internally unless it was poorly assembled (mistakes happen). If the glass is cracked, Motorola gives one free screen replacement on their phones during the 1 year warranty period. So, it's worth calling them to see if it applies to their watches as well.
Give it a shot.
I wouldn't be surprised if the connector for the display didn't pop out enough to
loose some of their data lines/clock, but still have power, that would explain the lines on your display.
If only it was easy to take the watch a part.....
My son dropped his Oneplus 3 in water, took it out immediately and dried it. Phone was working well for few hours, then it had some screen rotation issue and when he tried to reboot it, it went black. When he got home, he dried it and then put it in Rice for four days. No luck.
Now when I charge the phone, it gets warm, so power is going in but the screen is black. I tried the Volume up and power button simultaneously, but to no avail. The screen remains totally black.
Not sure if I have to take to the repair guy at the mall to replace some parts or should I trying something else before doing that.
Please advise and provide guidance.:crying:
Thanks in advance.
Ric.
Its probably dead.
I mean, you can try the Mega Unbrick Guide but thats definetly not the case we have here.
Get it repaired as fast as possible over One Plus Support.
Shouldn't have used the phone and put into rice straight away. Probably the display connector accumulated rust and maybe service centre can fix it easily, MAYBE... In most cases some part of motherboard may be shorted, which would cost a lot to fix
Don't know if I can use unbrick guide... PC doesn't recognize the device!!

Contacted Oneplus support, they mentioned that it may cost around $175 for the repair but they have to look at it first. I may be better off getting a new device.

Wouldn't call it a bad price.. I mean for he S7 you already pay 400 bucks because you dropped your Phone once, try to open it up and see if the contact points are messed up, JerryRigEverything has a nice video.
Thanks Puddi_Puddin..viewed the video
Thanks Puddi_Puddin,
I took a look at the taking apart video on youtube. I was able to remove the screws with the appropriate screwdriver but to remove the screen, I think I may have to buy the JerryRigEverything Metal Pry Tool from Amazon. Any other alternatives?
I assume the water damage indicator would have changed color. What should I look out with regards to contact points? Anything else that I should look out for?
Thanks for the input and appreciate it.
Ric
If i did that to my own oneplus 3, my dad won't be getting me another phone that's for sure. And he will well pissed off, 400 dollars gone down the drain. He'll probably make me pay for it and if i wanted a phone, i will have to buy myself one. In your case, maybe not get him a phone so he will appreciate it more. You might as well get a phone with water resistance. I had to wait 5 years to get my own phone. My oneplus 3 was my first ever phone and i got it last year.
Well, for the replacement he is going to pay from his summer job.

I trying to salvage the OP3 so that I can use it as my backup or secondary phone.

Well every thin piece of metal should do, as long as you are careful. You want to watch out for the screen tho. And switch to something like paper ASAP.
