Anyone know of any places selling the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Camera assembly that we need to do the FFC mod? There's only one for sale on Ebay and chances are it'll probably be sniped away from me, and GlobalDirectParts.com has it for $30 but it's a minimum order of 3. Anyone know any places selling it by itself without a minimum order amount?
i also want to do the mod, but cant find the camera being sold by its self. i am how ever down to go in on the 3 min order all we need is one more person
I'm looking for the same thing. I saw the one on eBay, but agree with rabeatz. I'm down to go in on an order.
I thought this was it?

Wow. When I search eBay for "Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Camera" I don't get this in the results, just this one:

For some reason my 1st post didn't take!
Try the AT&T store. A colleague of mine dropped his new iPhone 4 last week smashing the camera lens. On the off chance he went to the AT&T store, and although the part was not there in the store, they have ordered it for him free/gratis. Never hurts to ask! I was dumbfounded when he told me this, but it happened nevertheless.
Guess my 1st post did take cos' I see you posted the same question in both General and Q&A, and I apparently responded to both.
Please don't do this again!
Why is this thread in 3 different atrix boards here?

Damn! He posted it in a 3rd???
/ignore from now on!!!
It seems i've made something wrong...
yes i've posted in three forums, just because i didn't know in which one the topic fit the best :
1-Atrix 4G General
Discussion about the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (general, tips & tricks, Q&A, etc)
It is a general question (looking for spare parts) and the forum description includes Q&A.
2-Atrix 4G Q&A
For all of your questions relating to the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G
This is a question!
3-Atrix 4G Accessories
Accessories for the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (cases, screen protectors, batteries, etc)
not an accesorie but about spare part, so it is related.
I just wanted to maximize the chance to get an answer by posting in these forums.
Before posting, i've checked that in any of them there was a thread about replacement part for power button/fingerprint reader replacement part.
So please calm down, there is no need to ask for ignore/ban me. As all of you (i hope!) i'm human and we can do mistake and learn from. I did one and i won't do it again.
Back to the original topic
Thank you CaelanT for your answer but i'm in europe, so reaching a AT&T store will be difficult/very expensive for me...
(yes, i've posted in ATRIX 4 AT&T forum, but for this replacement part it doesn't matter, and this phone is not only sold in US: canada, belgium, UK, fance... and this is the only one forum about Motorola Atrix in this website),
It is easy to find replacement part for screen or other part on the net, but i've spent one full day looking for fingerprint reader and found..... nothing!
Moreover it is a pity for a phone which is so easy to open and replace/repair itself (tutorial available on ifixit)
Anyone else has any idea/suggestions/websites for replacement parts?
You posted a question............so I am guessing Q&A not every forum!
This is all I could find in a quick search for parts:

I am having the very same issue and none of the replies here are helping. All I am seeing is persons complaining and sending people all over the place to other post which dont have the answer. I have been searching online for a solution and I am not seeing anything other than take it back to at&t which is not possible because at&t is in America.
Anyways If there is someone kind enough to (1) explain where is the actual power button located (in the finger print scanner or under the scanner) and (2) what to change to get this fix( eg a ribbon, the finger print scanner or is there a button I should buy). I am not looking for a work around what I want to do is change what ever it is that I need to change to get fix.
Thing is, power burton is a soft button sitting below the fingerprint reader, it is completely independant. Thing is, i dont remeber if it is soldered to the motherboard or is apart. Either way, i think tou need to get it from another atrix.
Here at the forum a user posted a site that sells spare parts at low prices, perhaos they have what you need!

It's part of one of the flex cables.
There is a picture of it here at the iFixit teardown:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Atrix+4G+Teardown/4964/2
and one with the tape removed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379939
Have you tried ebay? There spares all over the place and if you don't find the flex itself you may as well buy an Atrix with a broken LCD and use it for parts.

Two ebay sellers told me that the flex cable dont come with the power button so I took your advise and bought one that is damage, lcd and digitizer. This will in fact work out better for me being that my digitizer is bad ( already had order one which is on its way) I broke off the wifi button on the board and not the power button got damage.
So for all the people out ther asking about the power BUTTON ITS RIGHT UNDER THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND IS NOT SOLD ON THE FLEX CABLE YOU HAVE TO GET IT FROM AN OLD ATRIX SAME FROM THE WIFI EITHER GET IT FROM ANOTHER ATRIX OR BUY A MOTHERBOARD .. I have no idea where to get a board from.
Hi
UK Samsung - as they said they could not repair my unit - said they are going to exchange it.
However they do not have stock of 32GB - or so I have been told.
Anyone with the same issue?
M
still waiting for yours
Thats bad. its been a while now.
Mines ok but now have a spec of dust under it. No too bothered about this will get it fixed later on
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello people yesterday my screen got i little crack in it. The amoled screen is ok it is working prefectly no damage at all. Its the outer front glass screen that is damaged. I can buy this Outer glass screen on ebay for like 5 dollars, but my question is can i replace this and how ? I couldnt fine anything on google or youtube.
Rubbish. I just did a Google search & got dozens & dozens of useful hits. If you don't have the basic initiative to find a how to, I very much doubt you have the aptitude to fix this yourself. Might want to leave it to more qualified people.
I think theres a post by Kilometer that has a link for the video.
Or theres one in a motherboard thread I created.

Ive recently purchased an S3 with a cracked screen, Touch is working perfect and theres no colour leak
question is Would i get away with just replacing the outer glass.How would i know if the amoled needs replacing or other parts of the screen
im no stranger to fiddling with hairdryers and prying screens so that wouldnt phase me
i am sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. ive been searching across the net and didnt come across what i was looking for
You can replace the glass only. Lots of videos on youtube for that. Google for a glass replacement, you can find a genuine one for about 30$.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You can try to replace it, although there is no guarantee that you will succeed. Some luck is needed
Wrong forum .
Search around for the how to replace glass only + YouTube video of steps .

isn't it obvious that questions go in the Q&A forum?
