[Q] Sell Your Broken Streak

I am interested in purchasing a bricked Streak and Streak with a broken LCD.
My Streak case has some scratches and there is a small hairline crack in my buttons (home/menu/back), so I would like to sub the parts out. I cannot find replacement parts on the internet other than the battery cover.
It would be awesome if it were white are red. I would like the case to be in near perfect condition.
Thanks

I can sell mine but not sure if I can. I am hoping to get my replacement Streak in next week, but I am not sure if it is required to return the old streak to dell at all, do they charge if I won't. Mine only screen is broken everything else is working fine.
Update :
Received my replacement Streak today, no return label. Guess I will have to test out new Streak for some days, then will decide on what to do about the old one.

Outside edge glass replaceable?

Well my luck finally ran out with my Streak as my 7month old Spaniel puppy got his paws on it
Thing is the only bits he damaged were the outside edges, everything on the phone works but the glass about the buttons and camera is cracked and I can't seem to find any mention of this being mentioned as a replaceable part!
Any advice?
As far as I know those parts are hard to find.
There is a shop in the UK that mey have the parts. You are going to have issue with replacing the side with the buttons as it is attached with a ribbon.
Good luck.!!

If you cannot get the ends with the buttons, there is an app that will put soft buttons on the screen.

Thanks for the link, will drop them an email.
Buttons still work so no problem there
Just to say thanks again, spoke to Philip at that site and he is sending me a couple of 2nd hand ones out
Cheers

Hello guys need help

I have a Tmo Vibrant that has digitizer broke, the guy that can fix it says i need both screen n digitizer because of amoled screen that comes together....is that right?
And anyone knows where i can get this part i need or where can i send to get it fix for a good price?!
Thank you.
Screen and oled digitizer are glued together so probably have to get both unless you have a heat gun.
Probably eBay but vibrant are going for pretty cheap nowadays anyways so might not be worth it.

[Q] Repair scratch?

Has anyone had the unfortunate luck of scratching your screen? Mine got scratched by accident by a headphones twist tie. I don't even know how it got in the case with my tablet as I kept it apart from anything that could damage it until I could get a protector... I think someone might have tossed it in there not knowing what they were doing, i.e. thinking they were helping me not lose the earphones...
Anyone know the best way to try and repair a scratch on the tablet?
It has a protector from the factory, and that is probably the only thing scratched. Search this forum for instructions on peeling it off so you can replace it.

Wow, didn't even realize it had a protector on. After I had ordered one and had it waiting to try and fix the scratch. Thank you for pointing that out!
Hey cool really thank you didn't realised this!!

You are basically screwed. Mine had shattered and I ordered a new piece of glass for the front. The digitizer is stuck to the glass pretty damn good, I ended up having to order a new frame unit for 250.
I would just put a new screen protector on it and leave it.
You will only be looking at an expensive fix, screens for this phone cost a lot, wether you fix it your self or send it to Sammy and this is not covered by warranty.
The digitizer is the component that recognises touches and translates them to digital signals the phone understands.
I'm not sure about this phone but on my old one it was on top of the screen which I would also expect here.
If I was you I would send the phone to Sammy but I couldn't give you a price.

The screen and touch digitiser are bonded together like on iPhone and there's no third party screens yet so you either pay $250 or do without a screen.
