I am looking for a broken G-tab for a price lower than 125 USD. Please PM me if you have a broken tablet and what is wrong with it.
broken in what way?
like shattered screen and melted
or like bricked?
since it is unbreakable I would say shattered screen. Or none working battery. All I am interested in is the mobo.

I just might be interested. Let me think about it and get back to you.
Are you in the United States and if so, where?
Yes Im Orlando Florida
Have a broken G tab
Honest to God -
I knocked my friends G tab off my desk, and bought it.
The glass is the only thing that shattered. I've turned it on, the screen works. I can't get past the unlock screen. I've plugged a mouse in, but I still cant get past that dang unlock screen.
I paid full price for it... I'd be more than happy with anything near 75-100 bucks.
I live in Nashville. Have it ready to ship ASAP. paypal is fine. money order is fine...
PM me for details.
Thanks guys.

Well, I am a little worried about your low post count here. Do you post on another Android forum so I can check your reputation?
Man, I totally understand your concerns. And you're legit in asking about it... I don't post on any android forums because I've never had an android device. I found this forum looking for a way to to replace the screen. I called viewsonic, and they offered me a replacement for 175, which, for a 269 dollar tablet didnt make sense to me.
I mean, I can be as transparent as you want me to be. We can skype, you can check out my facebook, we can talk on the phone... I can take pictures, I can make you a video... we can do whatever you wish. Honestly, I'll mail you the tab, and you can send me what you feel is fair. I'm really removed from it. I'm just trying to recoup as much as I can from dropping the tab.
If anyone is selling parts, I'm interested in inquiring about pricing the Internmal mainboard. The one with all the connections (USB, Mini USB, Micro SDCard, Audio Jack, and Power Connector Tip.
The board must be FULLY FUNCTIONAL!
I've got a broken g-tab as of tonight. G/F dropped it and screen shattered Still works fine though, just has a fair amount of spiderwebbing in the middle of the screen. I'm gonna miss this guy
Anyone of you guys want to buy it?
Edit: Noticed someone commenting on post-count previously. If anyone's interested I'd be happy to give you my email / phone # etc., and send you pics / vids of it working.
Broken G-tab/ buy it. take it...
Hey guys.
who ever is looking for a tab here. I have one. It's broken.
I paid for it, and it just sits here.
if someone wants it, i will mail it to them.
if you feel so inclined to pay me. I'd love some reimbursement.
no catches.
promise. I just have no use for it. if someone can use it. I'd much rather help you.
go to twitpic.com and type in ---> 6mhubo after the slash
Interested if you still have it

tight well...
I bought a white G1 that has been run over... ive seen videos and images of this device working perfectly the keyboard is fine and the touch screen is fine.
However the glass is cracked badly (can still see everything on screen) and also there is no signal on the device, im guessing its the antenna?
So my questions are, how much do you think it would cost to repair? and also where in the UK can i get it done? any sites? or should i take it into a shop, if so what one? or should i buy the parts and do it myself?
Considering the cheapest screen goes for around 60 dollars in Hong Kong and is not even an OEM screen, I saw you will be in for atleast 100 dollars. I believe to repair is around 150 dollars at the cheapest. Don't quote me on it though, I just saw that somewhere else.
It's it's only the glass that's cracked though. Ok so about 100 quid for the glass and repair. How much for the antenna?
Thanks for the reply
BUMP!
come on hehe

It's going to depend on what happens when it's opened up. It could be a few things. The antenna itself is most likely not the cause but rather the connections. It could be a bad solder or even a cracked board.
Just eBay it and get yourself a Sapphire or the Samsung when it comes out. Both superior to the Dream at this point.
well, im going to open it and check the connections, haven't received the phone as of yet. So im hoping its just a connection problem. Then ill fix the screen and e-bay it if the sapphire is better. What samsung? problem is, theil be couple hundred £ lol

Just your opinion. Neither of those phones have a hard keyboard.
the htc magic (sapphire) is basically the same as the dream but with an on-screen keyboard... and with a new firmware update i can get the best of both worlds with an on-screen keyboard and a slide out one. which is exactly what ive been looking for!
So yeah, back on topic, anyone know where i can get a replacement glass for the screen (or whatever i need, its only the glass that's broken, touch screen and image is perfect) and also there is no signal on the phone, so im guessing it could be the antenna, but im not sure yet. I definitely need the glass replaced on the screen though

Why bump for him, if he just had looked over the Dream sub forums he would have seen this thread in the general Dream section.
With that knowledge searching becomes a lot easier
sorry, dont mean to sound rude, but i have seen this thread and i have bought a digitizer for the screen, should arrive tomorrow. My problem is the fact that i have no signal and the GPS does not work, so i dont know if it is a problem with the antenna's or wether its something else... How could i test them? without buying another g1. I dont want to commit to buying a new antenna only to find out that it was actually a problem with the main board or something. And ebfore anyone says anything both the antenna cables are connected on BOTH sides.
My wife's Rezzie has a cracked screen. Nothing seems to have caused it. All was fine when she put it on the counter. An hour later, it's got cracks running all across it. The digitizer still works. It doesn't appear that any shards have worked loose.
A quick check on eBay shows that used Rezounds are going for around $200. That's not a great deal, since we've got a discounted upgrade available at VZW (though we'd have to extend our contract -- yuk). The phone is off warranty and doesn't have insurance on it any more.
There's an excellent repair place near where we live that can do the work in an hour, but they charge about $175. The parts seem to be available on Amazon for about $30-$50. However, the quality and results for DIY repairs appears to be somewhat mixed, and the process looks to be a bit involved.
So -- do we leave the phone as-is? Try and repair it ourselves? Send it in for repair? Buy a used one? Buy something else? Interested in y'all's thoughts.
Personally, and I say personally cuz I'm good with detail and following instructions, I'd say try to fix it your self if you mess up your out like fifty bucks and have to get a new phone anyways.. but that's just me I just ordered a LCD, digitizer, and tools off eBay for my incredible gonna give it a try my self in few days.

I got my replacement glass/digitizer for $20.
Just be careful to document all your steps if you do it yourself, as I forgot to put the pieces for the capacitive lights back in.
So my wife's brand new G was in the stroller today on a walk with the baby and when the stroller got closed up it fell out onto concrete from like 1-2 feet max. Go figure, the screen now has a giant crack diagonally across it and most of the screen no longer functions, and whats worse is it's the bottom part, making it un-usable. Arrgghhhh. Anyway, she literally just got it and hadn't gotten around to getting a case. We can still get the insurance but the deductible is $200 that we do not even come close to having.
My question is, does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have any experience replacing the screen on this thing? I saw a tear down guide to open it up, but no idea on what to do with the screen. Anyone know of someone that replaces a screen and how much that would cost? Anyone have any other advice or a suggestion on what we can do to minimize cost as much as possible? I finally got her to switch from iphone land once hers broke, so im determined to try and make android work if at all possible.
Thanks in advance all, i appreciate any help or adivice.
Good luck, man. I'm not aware of any reasonably priced screens and digitizers. You'd have to replace them both because A) they're glued together and B) they're both broken. Hopefully a good ebay seller has popped up since the last time someone tried to replace their screen. If you live in or near a big enough city you can probably find a cellphone shop that can fix it for less than the insurance deductible, if they can get the parts.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like it would be around 165-180 to get the stupid thing fixed and 200 to get a new one. Thinking of getting a new one for the 200 and selling it as i think i could get 300-350 for it, then using the difference to get something else. ****ty, but that's life. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and offer suggestions.

I'd look into a square trade warranty, that's what I have and the same thing happened to mine. Its $99 for the insurance and the deductible is only $25. They'll either send you a new phone or pay for repair. They sent me a brand new one from amazon and I got 2 days after filing the claim.
Also when you make an insurance claim through AT&T they want the broken phone back
I checked out Square Trade this morning and it looks like the deductible is now 100 and you either have to do a two year deal at 7 per month or 125 for the two years, so it would end up being more expensive than just dealing with the ATT option, not factoring in the warranty over the two years.
@gunnyman- Wouldn't every warranty option make you give them the broken phone? Seems like if not, you would be able to just file fake claims as often as they permit them and repeatedly sell a new product for a gain.

Yes of course I was half asleep when I read what you wrote about selling a phone. I read it as selling the broken one.
I got a screen off ebay for 86.77 with free shipping, I was gonna put a link but I dont have enough posts here on xda but if you copy and paste the following in ebay it should be the first listing you see:
New ASSEMBLY LCD Display Screen+Touch Screen Digitizer For LG Optimus G E970
It did take a couple of weeks to get to me being it's from china. I must say that I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of the screen :laugh: (at least the one I got) with the added bonus of it not having the lg logo. The guy that did the teardown post said it looked hard to take of the screen but it's actually not, just pop off the two ribbon connectors (one is for the digitizer, the other is for the LCD) then you just have to do some prying on the screen since its glued on, and once you get it off you pull the two connector through this slot that they have to pass through. Once you get it out you'll see how easy it is to put the new one on. And instead of glue I just used two sided tape around the edges of the screen. Been using it for two weeks with no problems. Hope this helps.
*EDIT* Forgot a step, you should heat up the broken screen with a blow dryer or heat gun to soften the glue before prying it off, It shouldn't be so hot that it's hard to handle though.

Got a random code off google and it was $95 for 2 years with a $99 deductible ($194 total for 1 claim over 2 years).
Better than att $7/mo plus $199 per claim ($369 total for 1 claim over 2 years)
I just want to say right off the bat that I severally appreciate anyone who tries to help me.
All right, so I decide to take my precious GNII out of it's case for like an hour, 'cause I haven't held it without one for a while. Low and behold, I drop it clumsily onto my kitchen floor and the screen cracks on the upper left-hand corner. Thankfully it's not the entire screen, but it's glaringly obvious and super upsetting. I can definitely feel it with the s-pen.
I was wondering what you guys think I should do? I could probably deal with it for another year, but I want it to have re-sale value. Putting up with it also isn't the idea I'm fondest of. Would I get used to the cracks eventually? Money definitely matters here, considering I'm just a high school student without a job.
I looked up some videos on screen replacements, and it appears that if I just wanted to replace the glass (which would be cheaper than LCD, digitizer, and glass), I would have to do this entire thing with a hair dryer and what not. Should I do that? Or is it not worth the hassle? If I don't want to do that, would I have to shell out 250$ dollars for a full ditigzer+glass replacement? Is there anywhere I could send it that you recommend?
I feel whine-y coming to you guys with my problem, but I'm pretty desperate here. Again, I really, really appreciate any help that you could afford to give to me at all. Thank you so much and have a great day.
Grab one off of eBay for 175 or claim through asurion for 100 and sell it to me for 200

Staples sells screen replacements over the counter, sort of, you pay, send off in contained envelope, phone gets returned fixed, devices vary by brand and size of course, may be worth giving them a call, craigslist also seems to have local service adds in for sale section, search cracked screen, or screen replacememt, places doing iphones and ipods would/should have the capabilities.

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this thread, so if anyone has a better idea, please let me know, I will move it.
I recently pre-ordered the LG G5 (H820 Gold) from AT&T, it arrived last Wed, and unfortunately my case won't arrive until two days from now. I accidentally dropped it on the ground when getting out of my car, and now the glass covering the camera lens is cracked. It doesn't seem to affect the camera functioning, because it looks like it is outside the field of view on the camera. However, I am sad that it is broke. I was wondering if anyone knows a place that could repair it, or how much it would cost?
I found out it is not covered by AT&T's warranty, or LG's warranty. I'm emailing LG support to see how much they would charge to replace directly, but I'm not above going third party repair if it is cheaper and still reputable. I realize the phone has been out a total of 4 days now, but I actually broke it a day before that.
Totally sucks man. Best advice is to slap a cover on it and be as careful as you can with it since the cracks might get worse. and actually affect the camera quality. That or call LG for an estimate on repairs.
I'd get a warranty with squaretrade and then file a claim to get it fixed if a repair shop charges you more than $80.
Thanks for the info.
BTW, for anyone wondering, LG is going to make me MAIL my phone in, wait 6-8 weeks, then they will tell me what the estimate is to repair it... then I can decide if I want them to fix it, then regardless if they fix it, I wait another 6-8 weeks to get my phone back... This is stupid.
Anyway, my phone carrier does the same thing, except that its a $200 deductible, along with $8 a month for 2 years. Then I have to mail it in, and wait for them to fix it and send it back.
I'll probably check out squaretrade, that almost seems the best answer, but I'd still have to find my own repair shop locally.
They probably barely have their G5 repair parts program going yet. It's likely weeks to get any repair done, even a screen. I've been trying to buy a spare battery and charger because I don't want to wait for my freebies and even those are not available yet.
This is why its key to ha e a backup phone. 6-8 weeks is only because its new i'm guessing. But yeah its so new and they dont physically inspect before letting you sign up for insurance right? So check fine print. If they dont have "pre existing condition" type restrictions it might not be unethical to sign up
Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk
I don't have a problem signing up, my problem is with the fact that even with "Insurance" or "Warranty" I still have to actually pay them to fix it... and I have to wait FAR longer than I should, just for them to give me an estimate, I mean, do they really not know how much a camera cover costs?? do they have to look at it for 6 weeks just to know that it needs a new piece of glass??
On top of ALL that, I'm less than 20 miles from their repair facility, and yet I still have to mail it, I can't just drive it up there, which would take less than an hour of driving.
I'd rather just have a cracked camera than be without my phone for nearly half a year, and then have to pay nearly half the phone's price just for a 1 inch piece of glass.
Yeah that super annoying man.

Hey OP, wondering if you found a replacement for that yet? I just got the LG G5 and on day 15 set the phone on a desk and the glass cracked back there. I'm looking everywhere trying to find a replacement and coming up short. I really don't want to pay $175 to file a warranty claim. Thanks!
Sorry bud, I haven't been able to find one... Only options were to mail it to LG and wait, or submit claim with my carrier...
Same boat here. I've never ever broken that glass on a phone. I picked up my phone today to see that it was shattered. Mind you, my phone has always been in a case. Seems they're using too thin of glass for this part.

The same exact thing happened to me. Pissed me off. My brand new phone looks like a pos now... 175 to use my insurance to fix it...
Same issue here, had it in a case since day one, just pulled my phone out and noticed that the glass covering the camera is busted, really disappointing never dropped my phone, or had it in a pocket with anything else.
LEMON LAW?????
Same crap here! WORST quality control phone I've ever had! I miss my Note 3.
Question is...HOW MANY FLAWS DO THERE HAVE TO BE TO FILE A LEMON LAW LAWSUIT or take action!? First, the phone's screen was wobbly and wouldn't hold a hard screen protector, then the headphone jack issue, then the freezing...then the black screen issue...and now this camera lens issue!? If they used a bit thicker glass, it'd not have happened! My phone's ALWAYS been in a case. Never have I had a screen break, let alone, a camera lens!!!
I am literally a cripple in a wheelchair who never leaves home. I took my phone off my desk to see my child and the wide angle lens was all wonky.. .I turned it over:
I have an image but it thinks I'm a spam bot... So just go to my web server: sirgcal.com/misc/LG/20160509_170035.jpg
I also have a question into LG on this one. Perhaps if they get enough of them it'll get recalled? If not I'm waiting till the local phone repair place can do it. I don't go anywhere so for me to drive out is almost impossible and for me to be without a phone more-so. I could re-use my old Galaxy S4 for a while if I had to, per-say. That would all be up to sprint.

This is also why I don't do insurance. The repair itself wouldn't cost that much when shops get the parts. Going to take a while for 'new' phones. But... Unless you completely damage/lose your phone very early on, it's just not cost effective to me.

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this thread, so if anyone has a better idea, please let me know, I will move it.
I recently pre-ordered the LG G5 (H820 Gold) from AT&T, it arrived last Wed, and unfortunately my case won't arrive until two days from now. I accidentally dropped it on the ground when getting out of my car, and now the glass covering the camera lens is cracked. It doesn't seem to affect the camera functioning, because it looks like it is outside the field of view on the camera. However, I am sad that it is broke. I was wondering if anyone knows a place that could repair it, or how much it would cost?
I found out it is not covered by AT&T's warranty, or LG's warranty. I'm emailing LG support to see how much they would charge to replace directly, but I'm not above going third party repair if it is cheaper and still reputable. I realize the phone has been out a total of 4 days now, but I actually broke it a day before that.

I also had the phone for 4 days until it hit the toilet
Add me to the list. I have it in a huge soft hard combo case and noticed last night the camera glass was broken. I think its a combo of too thin glass and too tight of a fit so when it drops even with a case, it shatters.
Between this and the non rooting since LG removed fastboot cmd, I might just jump to the m10
sent from my unrooted g5 cause T-Mobile and lg are jerks
I had a note 4 for two years and not a single issue. Just the other day I noticed the glass was cracked on my G5. I am furious. Can't find a replacement part yet. Please keep this thread going for when we have the ability to get these parts.
