Anyone know where I can get a new back piece to my XDA II? Somehow I broke the top corner of it near the power button, a small piece chipped off of it. Where I can I buy a replacement for that part because my warranty will only cover it in Singapore and Im not going to be back there until January.
Thanks!
Scott

I am looking for a newer bricked(totally completely useless) T-Mobile MDA like my avatar for cheap and in reasonable physical shape so I can fix my MDA. The housing is totally dinged and scratched on my phone and the screen has a nasty scratch on it that is rediculously visible.
If anyone has one of these, please let me know.
Thanks, Dan.
Housings have got a lot cheaper on eBay now, used to be about £40, now down to about £24-£30 shipped. These are original "as new" removed from returned phones, I've never seen a non-OEM housing. Touch screen about £10 shipped from HK. I doubt you'll be able to buy even a bricked Wizard for £34-£40 so it might be the way to go.
First thing I did was drop my Wizard so the chip has been staring me in the face every day since. I'll wait for a few more dings before I part with any cash. A screen protector from poundland was a great investment though!
Edit: Sorry, see you're in the States so double those numbers...
I bought a couple of housings recently. Things to be wary of:
1) The OEM case I bought came without an antenna glued to the top back piece, and was missing little pieces of plastic for holding the stylus in, etc. As a result it would have taken a HUGE amount of work to rebuild the case.
2) I bought an 'As New' housing from a reclaimed phone, and it was FAR from as new. It looked far worse than my current housing, so I sent it back.
Well last night was a good night. Playing pool, using msn and sending a few texts when... the shiny new HD went waltzing out of the palm of my hand and then... WHACK... right onto the edge of a table eek denting and chipping the damn front housing. Not ammused one bit
So my question for you boys and girls is... a front cover for the old Touch HD. Does anyone know where to get one from please?
Tried several chaps in Hong Kong via ebay but no joy.
Guessing the answer to this would come in pretty useful to more than just myself who has suffered this kind of cruel fate

hello
you can buy from me for completely at $150
HTC TOUCH HD T8282 BLACKSTONE HOUSING+CHASIS+COVER
regard
anyone in the UK selling these please? thanks
and that priceabove is quite high! you can get the cover and digitiser for $10 more on ebay.
Saw a complete housing @ brando for $ 79.50, so it's far cheaper than ugn53's.
Shipment seems cheap also.
BTW, never bought from brando, so I have no experience with them.
I've bought Screen protectors from Brando in the past. Their website is trustworthy.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope it works out. (I'd die if the same happened to my HD !)
This is why i insure my phones... i pay nothing luckly due to my contract but 6 quid for others and it covers accidental damage and loss. I have used in on my old phones (Kaiser and Hermes ETC) i have a 15 quid excess....
Insurance???
I have Orange Care to but... how can you wangle it so i can get one on insurance for something like this? Surely you'd have to tell a porkie somewhere along the lines, wouldn't you?
Nice but not quite right...

Sadly mate, if you look at the contents of that package, it says nothing about a FRONT cover... have a look.......
Features
Replacement housing for your HTC Touch HD.
Package Contents
One middle chassis
One back cover
One battery cover
Nice effort though!
Sorry for you mishaps but at least it didn't hit your screen...
Insurance...
... so that was a decent idea. If anyone fancies doing what i did should they get into this situation, i just rang orange SIM upgrades, registered my new SIM, waited 10 mins and then rang through to Orange insurance.
Told them i simply copied my contacts over and upon switching SIM's back while i waited for my new one to be activated, the brand new HD, due to being very shiny and a little bit slippery (weell thay are a bit, aren't they!) wen right through my hand and hit my desk leaving a very nasty dent with a rough edge.
£15 quid later, a new one is out to me between 9 and 1pm tomorrow
Happy days are here again! lol
*THINK* Now, should i stick the Orange ROM back in it?! LOL

No need. Told em i did the sim swap as they told me to for insurance purposes and it fell out of my hand due to being shiny and handed on the edge of my desk. That's the truth... almost! Cost me 15 quid but hey, i was in credit anyway so no biggie!!!
me sits in teh corner and cries - little un decided it would be fun to scrape my phone face down across a stone fireplace - no insurance = unhappy zoomee.

Hi
i am facing a similar problem mate , my HD slipped out of my hand and bang hit the asphalt in the street , the bottom part of the front cover got a nasty dents.
I went to HTC care center in Dubai and they confirmed i cant replace the frame alone , i have to replace the whole LCD . Check page 88 of the service manual.
The cost of replacing it would be 234.128 USD (860 AED).
i wont pay that for a dent , at least for the time being , the device is fully functional.

I'm curious, was it actually a new handset?
Because Orange tend to just give out refurbs.
I just cracked my screen and HTC wants to charge me $230 to fix it. I can do the repair myself but can't find the parts. Anyone have any idea where to get these parts?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I just replaced a few 2 sets of these.
The digitizer can be purchased on the net but I received mine from ebay here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220925620885?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
If this is what you cracked be careful removing as to not damage the LCD (Heat gun helps tremendously)
The LCD is tougher to find but you can get them on ebay here as well.
I purchased mine here took about 1.5 weeks to receive since not in the US.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260906551668?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 $82.00
It is also available in the states through this place.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PH-LCD-HT-2227-LCD-Display-Screen-HTC-Flyer-US-Seller-/170717545360?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf8f0390 $119.99
I would borrow a good heat gun to separate the digitizer from the unit. You will not need to remove all parts on the rear of the unit. Back cover, battery, top main board, and unplug the digitizer and the LCD. The rest will be removed on the screen side. It is more difficult than standard units since they use a good adhesive to hold the screen. There are also some clear pieces than need to be saved as well. Both worked great but still you will have about a $150-170 invested. Since you can by a new unit on sale sometimes for around 230-240, I would weigh my options. If you are on Sprint, think will keep an account, they have it less than 200.00 with a contract. If it is only the digitizer, then by all means, fix it yourself. Things to think about.
WOW parts are almost as much as I paid for it....I'm just going to toss it and get the Transformer Prime
I would be interested in the unit if you want to sale it at a reasonableprice. Pm me. Thanks
Anyone successfully repplaced the glass back on their Z2? My original cracked (just sitting in the car - wasn't dropped!)
Order a new one from ebay, fitted it but it did not stick down very securely and cracked after an hour. A replacement was sent and again this didn;t stick down very securely and cracked after day.
So where can I get a high quality back cover in the UK?
thanks
happened to me also......it won't stick unless you get it done from an authorized service center.....
The Solution:-
use super strong glue (i used fevikwik), take a pin and pour drops on the edges of the glass back and stick it....secure it in place with some clips for 15-20 mins.

Thanks, Yeah, that is next to try. I'm going to order this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...712051?hash=item234f628533:g:gfkAAOSwcwhVNPRn
and stick it down with some adhesive.
I am very tired of replacing the xperia z2 back door ordered from ebay. I ordered more than 3 glasses and everything has its own fault. Most of the glasses mismatch with the flashlight hole resulting in glare in the photos when flash ON. And the glue too is very week. I finally used flexiqwik because you can easily remove the glue for any hardware replacement. I need a original glass. Can somebody tell where can in get it.
Note : My original back door glass broke when my z2 accidentaly fall from my house top. I got a new glass door from replacebase.co.uk website in UK. But it too is a duplicate. Then i started to buy from ebay where all are duplicates or faulty. Finally i left my z2 without backdoors.
In my country (Thailand), I brought Genuine Backdoor from Service Center and replace by my own. but It's so expensive (1080 THB = 30.4 US Dollar). It have adhesive and new NFC. I don't know about privacy in other country. I think you should ask to Service Center in your country.
In Vietnam, we send our phone to Sony Service Center. They will fix it and call us when finish.

I dropped my tablet and cracked the glass on the display. Besides the crack in the outer glass, the display and touch input both work just fine.
I've noticed replacement glass on Amazon for about twenty bucks. A local repair place says that doesn't do the job; the display needs to go to a place that can refurbish the display and laminate new glass, at a cost of about $175 USD, with another $110 for the shop to remove and replace the display.
Is this legit? If it really is that complicated, does anybody know of a reliable shop that will just do the whole job my mail, hopefully for less money?
Thanks.

Your better of selling the tablet and taking the hit and pick up a new one, as it's a huge job replacing the glass only!
Also, the screens alone are £300+ and you can't get any local shop to replace the glass only, as you need specialist tools it's no small task but if you’re looking to repair it, the quote you been quoted is pretty fair!
I know it’s too late but why on earth didn’t you purchase a case for your tablet? I’ve got the supcase on my Tab S6 LTE amount of times mine has gone flying across the room I would have had a shattered display and shattered rear glass but thanks to the case not a mark or crack!

I have a case. It was a hard drop.

Sorry for you. In case it is only a single crack - have you thought of only putting a protective glass above it? That way it is sealed and might be less visible. Maybe you want to share a picture.

The crack is almost invisible and I can't even feel it, but it's annoying that it happened. A local repair shop is sending the screen in for refurbishing when they have several orders lined up.

UPDATE: Sending it directly to Samsung turned out to be the best option. It was a total of $280, including an upgrade to two day shipping.
I dropped it off at UPS on Friday, it was received on Tuesday, and I got a notice that the repair was completed today (Thursday, Christmas Eve). Even with holiday delays, I should have it early next week.
At that rate, it's about the same price as a year of carrier insurance + deductible.
