Last Month my Dellstreak's Might streak got a crack...As i'm hurry to replace it and quit busy in other works i gave it to a my friend to replace that display....
But problem is that i tried 2-3 displays from dell but he couldn't fixed it ...he told me that my device has different connectors from Dell Streak's displays which are available in market... Kindly guide me where i can fix it in Mumbai (india) or will Dell will give me replacement for it as warranty for it my phone is still valid up to dec 31 2011 as i bought it on 31-Dec-2010 (But on dell site its showing up to oct 2011 while searched by service tag) ....
Not sure where your friend is getting the screens. I have purchased a few from EBAY and everyone has worked just fine for me. See if you can find a local ebay auction.
I'm the same, I've replaced my screen many times and they always work perfectly. Maybe you bought the wrong screen?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
i have already bought 2 screens from Ebay both from China and had no problem with replacing
but if you have warranty from Dell then take your device back to them

I hd visited local carry in service center of dell, but they asked DD of Rs. 10K ($200), for replacement of display, which he'll sent to Dell and thy'll provide me new handset instead of it.
But i doubt as Dell is giving 1yr hardware warranty why are they charging so much big amount for replacement of display which cost around Rs. 5K ($100) on ebay.
Between 2 streaks ive replaced 5 screens. I buy mine on ebay for an average of 50 bucks from hong kong and here in the states ive never had a problem yet. I would suggest otterbox defender case as I oaid less for it than a screen and im sure its paid for itself already good luck

Guys,
I am not sure if this is good or bad news for me. I talked to Dell rep and said my screen was cracked when i got out of my car with tight jeans on and the phone in the pocket (but i actually dropped it from a foot high) i finally convinced him it is not physical damage.
So he is sending in a replacement on ONE CONDITION: If they find my phone physical damage, then the dell collection guys are going to call me and charge me 250 USD for replacement.
So my Question is:
1) I haven't gave them any credit card info. So how could they charge me as they have my broken phone with them and the replacement with me?
2) I brought it from Dell.com in APril so could they charge my credit card without my authorization for that price if i hesitate to pay?
They asked me to ship the old one back in 2 weeks, so if i delay by 4 weeks, are they going to charge me even if i have a excuse??
They approved my Streak Guys, but i dint want them to ship the replacement yet until i call them back for it. I am out of town so just wanted some bad help from the great GURU's here on XDA..
Any help greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Raj
They have your credit card information from when you originally purchased the Streak. They will use that to bill you for the replacement Streak if they find physical damage. If you don't send the old Streak back in the time frame they specify, they will bill you for the replacement Streak.

Ok, my streak 5 earpiece is also not working i cant hear anyone unless i am on a speakerphone or headphones. So with this, don't i hold enough water to fight it with my Amex card if they bill it unauthorized?
just looking at all the options and the worst case senario
Thanks,
Raj
You can fight it, but if Dell determines that there is physical damage, you will lose. In agreeing to the exchange, you agreed to Dell's terms and conditions for the exchange. All Dell has to do is send their information to AMEX if you file a chargeback and AMEX will side with them.
Dell's TOS overrides AMEX's TOS.
I broke my Streak 5 yesterday also
In my jeans pocket and I bumped into a table. Simple as that. First phone I have ever broken. Didn't crack the glass, just the LCD underneath.
I want a dual core phone, but the Note isn't out yet, the Prime is really too small for my tastes, the SII doesn't excite me... I don't know. I bought an LCD assembly online and going to try to replace myself. I have replaced several iPhone and HTC screens for clients, so shouldn't be a problem (I hope).
Of course after reading this post, I might want to call Dell mobility and see if they will just send me another.
It doesn't seem like they could tell if there was physical damage unless there is a built in shock sensor or something (I have heard that Apple is planning on putting one in iPhones soon), or if your little fall dented or dinged it. Even then, scuffs could be normal wear and tear I would think...

I did end up calling Dell Mobility and they said the same. They will advance replace my Streak and only charge if they determine it is due to user abuse. I figure at that point I would have to either dispute it or ask for my broken Streak back and replace the screen myself.
If I have to give Dell another $250 for my Streak, I would want something for it, not a freaking refurb.
I've been dealing with Dell the last couple of days to get mine replaced, and had no problems, except they still show "Best Buy" as the official owner of my phone. Apparently there is a separate department that transfers ownership that is closed, and they keep telling me to call back tomorrow, which I do, only to find out that they are still closed...
The call center appears to be in India, and there are apparently some major holidays going on. I can live with that...

Hey, which rom are you guys gonna flash back to before you send it back?
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
They both should go back to carrier-branded stock ROMs. How current that ROM is should make no difference.
I think I'm gonna put 1.6 on it, just to play with it.

My exchange went through, they are sending my new Streak. I just flashed the 353 rom for AT&T. No root, no nothing. No fun!

when you get the refurb take the broken screen off your phone put it on the refurb and send that back and keep the good screen on your phone.
Just call your credit card company and tell them you lost your card and would like it cancelled and a new one issued. If you're not poor, you have more than one way to access your money, and can live without a card for a week or two.
I'm picking up a dell streak on Thursday. The problem is that the usb port on the phone is bad. Has anyone replaced this? Or does anyone know of a guide or anything like that? Any help is great.

There is a post in the general area about someone who just dropped their Streak (broken screen) and is going to change phones. You may want to connect.
Ya I changed mine in Singapore. At Mobile Phone repair shop. Cost $80SGD, took them about 2 hours.
Well i had to replace motherboard at the same situation. Wasnt too bad, looked a lot of videos on you tube. 3 hrs of fear was it. Motherboard costed like 140 eur and + shipping.
As this is old post, how did it go?
There are 'charger ports' for the Streak available on eBay for less than $20; they usually warn "soldering is required". I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has done this and how complex it was.
Wow, the prices of replacement LCD's have gotten outrageous on ebay. Are there still any available for around 40 dollars?

I bought one for mine in Feb, I thought it was a really good price a £45 then I saw from the Sellers previous sales it was only 20 a week before, NOW however, they are selling them for a 160, WTF!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah some prices are about 500 USD!!!! They are ill or something!!!
They seem to be in short supply. I contacted a UK supplier at the end of March and was told that fresh stock was expected in a couple of weeks. Still no sign of that though.
Luckily I have a spare Streak so I am not desperate.
But I will not pay the prices currently offered. At those prices it might be almost cheaper to buy another phone second hand.
Stupid!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to break the screen on my dell streak 5 so i can go out and buy a replacement......
Samsung Note.
£140 for a used Streak 2 weeks ago in excellent condition, just had to flash DSC to stop it rebooting.
Supply & demand unfortunately.
£51 for a Streak described as being in excellent condition but doesn't power on.
Something to keep me occupied with next week when it is delivered.
Just got £50 refund from seller as he didnt tell me about the rebooting but all fine now. Think I was watching the one at £51 Thought about it for spares.

Moving to Q&A
My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months

Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

Can you tell me which one you bought? I need to buy one and I want to be sure to buy one that will work.
I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!
Hello,
I bought a new Pixel 3 in March of 2019 and unfortunately was involved in a minor accident in which my phone screen broke. expecting a repair in 150 euros I visited the local electronic giants like Saturn MediaMarkt and was shocked to know that a new display will cost me 500 euros and the service agents laughed at the price and suggested me to get a new phone instead.
As suggested in google help , in Germany CTDi handles all these repairs and tried contacting them but didn't get any response yet. Can anyone help me if they have had similar issues in germany especially because everything is fu***ng costly here and I am helpless.
Maybe buy a screen from ali express for around 130$ ?
You also purchase a replacement through iFixit website. https://www.ifixit.com/Search?query...t&doctype=product&c-doctype_namespace=product
They also ship to Germany!
