Droped my phone on asphalt few days ago. Screen needs a change, the body is in pretty bad shape too. Has anyone bought any housings from ebay for m7? I ordered a legit screen, but the original housings are way too expensive (I got my phone used and cheap). There are quite a lot of them from China, but I'm really not shure about the quality and fitment of the parts. Any info about replacement parts help.
No replies huh... Well I'll share my experience. The screen I bought was from m24mobile(germany) on ebay ,link.
It is legit, there was even a bit of glue left from the disassembled phone, in new condition. No dead pixels, the touch buttons are super bright, as the ones on my original screen were losing brightness.
I'll update my post as I get the housing. Not really hoping much though. Now my phone is held together by dark magic,double-sided tape and super glue.
Well alot of eBay parts are junk.
Got a replacement housing from Ireland for 11 EURO it is OK. But not like original.
Got a back camera still purple haze. Did some cooling mods and so but still problem persists.
Love the phone but the camera is like crap. Bought the phone for the camera, how could these reviews all be so couloured.
Anyway try to find an oem supplier.
Had one time luck with a Chinese digitizer + screen assembly. This was a good item.
If you would replace this I would recommend doing a assembly
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
You have them all in here, i think.. http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-one-m7.html

I need a new motherboard for a one m7 dual sim, because I've blown them with a blown charger. He doesn't react on the charger and nor on a full charged battery. It can only be the board, I think. I like the dual sim because he have a sd card holder, now I've an single sim.

Help.
Damaged the screen on an xda orbit and ordered one from ebay. Problem is that there is clearly more than one screen for this model and the one I got was a different part number to the original.
Does anyone know where a screen can be obtained for a reasonable cost. I have emailed quite a few of the ebay lot who are selling them and it seems they can't read or something as they don't know if the part number (printed on the back) is the one I need. Clever lot.
Phone is apart ready for new screen.
what is your phone serial?
if it is arte110 we have the same phone, mine also broke. I order last week on ebay at chinagoodstore, looks like the right screen but no s/n, I can't tell you neither, still waiting for deliverance...
I've had the same problem with two screens now. I told the first guy he sent the wrong one (ribbon cable too wide) and when I sent pictures of the two different ribbon cables he sent me the right one. Never could get it to calibrate properly, though.
Next time I ordered I got the 'wrong' one in that the ribbon cable is too long, albeit the right width. This means it doesn't mate up with the contacts properly and I'm back to using my first replacement.
I'm going to stop ordering from China for parts like this, I think...
I should clarify that I only replaced the digitizer, not the whole screen.
I bought a replacement housing and I noticed that when I use it, my phone is often searching for a signal. It's very sparatic too - it will be searching for a signal or have 1 bar and a minute later, it will have a full signal. But when I switch back to my old scratched up housing, the signal is steady.
Granted, I have broken one of the metal clips on the side of the housing but the same clip is broken on the original. I'm thinking that the face is used as an antenna or something. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
I also have another question/warning. Where can you buy quality housings for the Artemis? The one I bought is junk. Not only do I have the reception issue, but the HTC logo on the front has completely wiped off with a few days of use. Also, the keypad paint is very thin and cheap. In the dark, when the keypad is lit, you can see right through the cheap thin paint! It will only be a matter of about a week or so before thepaint starts chipping off. Also, the silver paint on the volume button has rubbed off in about a week of use. My old silver trim lasted almost a year. I'm really pissed about that. So I'm using my old scratched face plate & buttons with the new rear portion (since it the only worth while part in the kit. So beware of cheap ebay prices on these housings. Look for OEM.
Update: I've found that you can only get a quality OEM housing if you pay like $75.00 US. That's the going price I've seen on ebay and on sites like this: http://cnn.cn/shop/p3300dopod-p800-full-housing-p-1464.html
If it comes with the key pad, you can usually tell it's OEM because the letters are dark grey instead of white. The fake ones are white and they do not have the "e" for Internet Explorer - rather, they'll usually have some red symbol. That's the only way I know of to tell if they're fake. When you do a seach on ebay, include the word "Original" in your search and you should see some OEM ones.
i can confirm that - i also bought new housing from Ebay. It looks exactly the same ( only slightly different color on logos etc ).
very bad reception its not worth it(can not use GPS or wifi properly). And the paint is chipping off after week or so.
Also beware of the touch screens that are on Ebay - also cheap knockoffs. They work but are not near the quality of the original screen.

You may want to check the metal connectors on the center piece that connects to the circuit board. They ones connecting to the silver flat metal around the camera. Those are the antennas. I'm still using the original housing (with 2 ebay housings in the box) but I did have to readjust the antenna connectors to get wifi reception back. May or may not work for you.
Instructions Please

Thanks a lot i managed to take the housing off my phone, it was pretty easy with the right instructions, i'm seriously considering on getting a new one or painting the old one.
75$ Thats pretty expensive, I bought my 2nd hand (but in mint condition) for 100 euro. Better get a new P3300, or as mentioned above paint the worn out case yourself, that would be even better

Sony Ericsson X1 Replacement Touch Screen/Digitizer Module
Price: $4.08 free shipping
I just ordered 2 This renders the protection screens useless.
Cheers!
Cool, just have to find out if it is really genuine! You never know, its DX.. If it actually is, bye bye irritating screen protectors.
I will post photos when I receive it. I'm eager to remove the thick plastic cover I use to protect the screen - the touch sensitivity is definitely affected by its thickness.
I doubt this is a genuine part - what's important is to work as such.
DX is slow during christmas and new year season, so you might have to wait a long time for it. Also the hong kong post is slow now
But i am waiting eagerly for the photos!
Hope it will perform well.
i just orderd this one..
http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-digitizer-p-6916.html
its working 100% and its oem. only 5$ for shipping. also its really hard taking off the original digitizer/glass. its glued on so make sure you take your time when your doing it because you can break your lcd. also the one i purchased was pre-glued with plastic on it so it was easy to put on.
I doubt there is a difference between these two, considering the price.
OMG, I just buy a piece from eBay for $7 + $3 shipping fee. poor me....mad:

I'm still waiting my order ... dealextreme free shipping, you know
hi.. i am working on a new project with touchscreen..
can any one provide me links where i could buy this module...
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32335
Here u go. The same link is in the first post.
I've just recived mine, here are some photos. How it works i will be able to tell next week, i think, because I don't think i am able to change it myself.
I'm afraid the cargo camel that brings the goods from hongkong probably has a flat tyre somewhere in the desert... so my digitizer is still on the way.
For anyone that had experience replacing the digitizer, does it involve soldering??
I don't think it needs soldering. I fitted one to my Orbit 2 and that had a similar ribbon like the X1 digitizer. It just has connector that the ribbon pushes into.
This is an excellent screen protector to protect your new digitizer: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23639
They do not need soldering. Just got done replacing mine with this a few weeks back. Took me about 3 hours. I also purchased this set of tools as well: dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29544
They are invaluable, if I didn't have them I would have never got past the first couple steps.
I used this tutorial mostly (along with a couple others) to guide my way thru: formymobile.co.uk/xperiadisassembly.php
There are also many other ones if you google X1 disassembly. The only part I F-ed up on was during the removal of the metal trim ring that is glued to the old broken digitizer module. This is very thin. I bent mine in a couple of spots. Use a heat gun to warm it and it will slide right off.
Reassembly went OK. If I remember right something fell out and I couldn't figure out where it went but after looking at multiple guides I figured it out.
Mine works 100%, already ordered another one. I see they also have the actual LCD screen now too at Dealextreme.
Thanks for the info. I think I got some water leak in the digitizer. A little bit of the upper right corner area was not working last week. But the whole touch panel is not working today (already flash stock rom back to make sure it's not software issue). I think I will just buy the LCD+Digitizer in ebay (about $40) and let's see how it goes....
Just want to report back. My touchscreen is back to working with the new LCD+Digitzer. $29 form here: http://www.ezelektronix.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=1872¤t_cat_id=276 which is relatively cheap. Takes 2 weeks for me to receive the package.
Hi all
So I finally got my parcel from AX
Can someone tell how to replace it
Thanks in advance
i changed the Digitizer only.
with help of a heatgun and a sharp knife.
Hi guys,
I remember I also bought a digitizer once for a HTC prophet and the quality was noticeably lower than the original. I lost contrast on screen and had other issues. Is this one exactly the same quality as the original touch screen ?
Hi guys. Just bought my second note 2 after my first one sadly broke.
I bought a new one for $300, as it is in terrible condition (bezel is in shocking condition) and the screen has been poorly replaced (dirt and hair between the glass and amoled.
Bought it for a bargain as I can get a new bezel for $16 and new glass for $20 on ebay.
Only one thing I have noticed, the gyro/accelerometer doesnt work. Could the previous owner have bumped a cord or something while he/she was replacing the screen? Is this a simple fix.
If someone could reply with a picture of a diagram of the mainboard showing where the gyro is situated maybe I can have a closer look.
Plus, if for some reason it is completely shot, can you replace this part easily?
I would flash an official rom, if still does not work then its broken.
Yeh I have, no change.
There a part I can replace it with? Or is there a conncetor that I can double check is in place?
A far as i know its part of the motherboard so the end user will find it hard to replace.

has anybody ordered and replaced the LCD screen on this phone?
i managed to crack mine after some month of abuse. anybody recommend an lcd screen assembly from ebay?
Yes. I have replaced a few as I work in a mobile phone repair shop.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post eBay links here but anyway here it is:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Huawei-P...948322?hash=item1a172c98a2:g:jcoAAOSw6WdXidIF
The client actually bring the screen for me to replace his broken screen, came with screen and frame pre-assembled like this. While I have ordered one for a similar model for the Huawei Ascend G8 a few times it's pretty simple and hassle free when you buy it pre-assembled like that.
I could buy without frame but you get the hassle of adding adhesive manually which comes with the risk of the screen either not sitting on properly or pushing up because the adhesive was too weak or not applied properly. I've done a few G8's with and without frame, worked pretty well in my experience.
Note that the huawei P9 has two pentalobe screws on the bottom like the iPhones do and you will need to take the sim card / sd card tray out before opening it up. The whole metal back cover pretty much unclips from the screen frame. Do check iFixit disassembly guides on how to do so. Most of it is unplugging cables and unclipping stuff, the battery is a bit tricky the adhesive is usually strong for them. You gotta pull the battery adhesive tab if there is one and most likely the battery will still be stuck to the housing even with it removed because there is even more adhesive that is separate from that tab (pry carefully if you intend to do so of course, LCD cable runs under the battery if I remember correctly).
You can also buy cheaper from here but the quality as you can see is quite lower: http://www.eddogo.com/lcd-display-t...-with-frame-for-huawei-p9-eva-al00-black.html
As always make sure to match it up with model number.
