Hi.
I'm wondering if it possible to get a replacement part for the Tablet S. The piece I'm looking for the the lower part of the back case - the silver strip that goes along the bottom.
See bottom right hand cover of the photo below:

I bought a 2nd hand Tablet S and it has a few scratches on this part of the S1 which is annoying.
Do you think it would be possible to contact Sony UK and get a replacement part (which I will gladly pay for).
Thanks.
give it to Sony Service Centre, they will replace that part.
Under warranty FREE*
Hi.
I don't really want to send my S1 in to Sony. It looks an easy swap. I'd rather just get the part send to me.
I will contact the Sony Service Centre and see what is possible.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I've had my PDA just over 1 week now and love it, what a great tool. However, I have lightly damaged/marked the outer front facia and it's really annoying me considering its sooo new. Can anyone recommend a UK repair centre that can fit and replace facias please.
Most people would live with the marks on my XDAii but I do like to look after my new expensive items!
Many thanks
Paul.
better go back to O2 shop and ask
Well its been marked twice since I bought it, just started to get use to the first mark when I dropped the phone today and marked it again. O2 first time round said it would cost about £80 all in to send it away and replace the facia but I want to know "the word on the street" prices if you know what I mean or at least a choice between repair centres.
As far as I know you can get any cheaper in UK unless in HK
Maybe buy a dummy phone on ebay and swap the case.
Help!! Need a replacement screen for my BA anybody have a spare or know where to get a replacement screen for a reasonable price.Not sure how I broke it but there is a crack down the center of the screen and now it w'ont work.
I am really sorry for you. I cracked my iPAQ screen a while ago and found a replacement at ipaqrepair.co.uk....but I guess they are only for iPAQs
I know how you must feel
Thanks will check it out anyway and yes totally gutted I use the BA for everything like having my right arm cut off ,
Have noticed that it is only the glass that is cracked it is not bleeding at all and i think that the digitizer is only mlfunctioning because of the crack is it possible just to replace the glass panel and not the lcd display?
Try calling HTC Europe at 08712-23-0217. Leave a message and they will call you back in a day time. Just tell them your problem and see how much would they charge for it. I've got my under warranty HTC Charmer to them TWICE for some speaker/motherboard problem, and so far so good. Their service is better than I expect from a Taiwan company.

Yes it is, there are 2 distinct types of digitiser though, the sony and the toppolly one. There is another poster selling just a digitiser, I went into more detail in that thread. HTCEurope a: won't repair and XDA IIs and b: won't swop just the digitiser, they swop the entire LCM assembly.

Just been quoted £125 to repair the screen by a company called Apex, trouble is the phone only cost me £150 in my book thats beyond econmical repair if it was a car it would be a write off.I think it will have to be an insurance job (get a free one with bank account) unless someone comes up with a reasonable price on a used one.

The sony one he has can be 'widenend' to fit any LCD so it doesn't matter what's in your phone - just remove the warranty seal completley - the odds are they won't repair your handset they'd just replace anyway if you claim on insurance as they would have to use new parts - no trawling ebay for them to fix your phone....
Richard
Well guys sent my BA off to the insurance company and had a phone call today said they could not repair or replace it, and then THEY DESTROYED MY PHONE and then they said they can give me a cash settlement or the choice of Nokia n91 or the n90 what do you guys think, what should I go for? and more to the point how much would the cash settlement be as you can no longer get the blue angel anymore new that is.
Anybody been in this situation would not mind the n91 but it is not satnav capable at the moment and I need this capability.
Check the prices on somewhere like expansys, get the more expensive, flog it on ebay, buy a 2nd hand blueangel.
I sold a boxed MDA III for just £100 on there the other week :-(
PM me and I might be able to help if you need it sourcing one.
Can't fix it my @$$.....muppets.
They should not have destroyed your phone and infomed you after the event IMO.
EDIT - IIRC expansys do still have the [email protected] £600. Ask them for a cheque!!!!!... :twisted:
Richard
Yes was surprised they did not ask me first but oh well still have the mini s just like having the bigger screen for sat nav loooking t expansys think your right I'll go for the money.
Update insurance have coughed up £450 not bad considering I only got it for £150 :lol: :lol:
can't FU**ING believe it...just dropped my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Result = phone works, but screen is SMASHED, in a big way!!!
ARRGHHHHH....can't belive it.
Had it in a nice protector as well - it hit the concrete, protector came off, split in 3 bits and screen totally wiped out, smashed....gutted.
I'm on orange contract, didn't pay for any extra insurance, but only had the phone for just under 3 months....will i be able to get it replaced for free????
If not, can someone please, pretty please recommend a good site etc on where I can buy a new screen?>??
do I buy just the screen or have to buy other bits??
any help would be sooooo much appreciated.
thnaks

Grim!
I would not recommend you buying a screen and installing it your self, not unless your very handy, but this will void your warranty.
I would send it to HTC service centre (have a look on the web) and get it repaired professionally.
It will cost you around 150 quid but will still be warrantied.
I dropped mine, screen was fine but the underneath didnt work.
Sent it to the repair center, may cost like 100-150 but I know it will be done properly
im not claiming to have any experience fittin a hd2 screen, but i have fitted a lg cookie lcd screen replacement when i dropped my old phone, and its easier to replace than you might think.
In the lg cookie (touch screen as well) it is a bit trickey, but as long as you write down where the cables went, (there was about 3) then its just a simple case of re-connecting the ribbon cable to the screen.
Not as hard as you might think, just open it up and have a look.
Yes the warrenty might void, but how often do phones just decide to break on there own anyway??

seems decent, somes with a pry tool and the correct screwdriver to get it open.
Just make sure you dont get any dust on it when your fitting it! lol
Just in case if you want to repair it yourself, look at the assembling and disassembling training video from HTC.
You can find them here at least you will know which tools to use and which order has to be followed.
and here you can download the complete service manual
Update = my House insurance is paying for a brand new phone..hehehe.
Well, not yet, but got a nice cheque off them for £450.
WAS tempted to look at the HTC Desire...but..NAHH...just can't resist the HD2.
Or should I wait for the HD3>????
what would you do??
cheers

Hi anyone know a place where i can get a replacement screen the at&t one
my gnote ate the floor and cracked on the bottom part of the screen still usable but i would like to replace it....... its a white one and i been finding prices around 200-300 for the replacement if anyone could help me up ill really be happy
On ebay they go for a little less than $300 for the outer glass, led screen, and digitizer. It is all one piece. You can send it into Samsung for them to fix, the cost for that is $197.
These guys can fix it for fairly cheap. They even have a pretty fast turn around. We use them where I work.
http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-sgh-i717-galaxy-note-parts/
Do you contact these guys to get them to quote you a price first? seems like they do a free diagnostic but would be nice to know what it will COST before i send it to them.
Also, not sure if any of those parts they sell is just the glass....the only one that seems to contain the glass is a whole bezel and like $200+
HIi,
It would be great if someone could guide me as to how I can replace the USB flap and battery cover on my Xperia GO , I took it the service center and was told I would have to pick up a new phone with a 20% discount on the new one.. its just the USB cover that got cut.. feel totally ripped off with this purchase ... is it possible for me to do some kind of DYI stuff and replace these parts?
Would also appreciate references to aftermarket service centers to get this fixed in Bangalore,India
Although I don't own a Xperia Go, but I found a few sites that sell replacement parts for the covers.

You can try to order from them and assemble them yourself. Based on the design, it should be a simple push in. If you can't do it, bringing it down to a simple handphone repair shop with the parts and they should be able to do it for you (maybe with a bit of money). Should be too expensive.

I have this exact same issue. The flap has been pulled off the tether, leaving a small part hanging out the phone. I posted on another andriod forum about this and a Sony Tech member made a point that part is easily fixable but if the back cover of the phone is removed there may be issues with water? There's also a special tool to replace the back panel. I'm guessing equal light pressure and even tightening of the screws is all that's required, as well as taking care not to damage the O ring seal. Search for 'Sony Xperia go ST27 Service Manuals.zip' and you should find a link to download the service manuals for the phone if you like. It has PDF videos for a full teardown of the device.
I'm confident that the part can be replaced without taking the rear cover off. I pulled out the broken part of the tether with some needle nose pliers. I made sure the pliers were gripping the plastic and then gave a quick sharp pull and the tether came out. I had initially tried just pulling the broken tether slowly but the plastic stretched, and in hindsight it could have snapped and made things more difficult to remove/maybe? The new cover should be a matter of pushing the tether back into the small hole with some good tweezers/pliers.
Thanks for all your inputs.. Would be great if you could link to the service manual..
