i recently cracked my screen on my htc hero yet everything looks and works fine except for the crack?
is there anyway i can get a replacement on it or get it fixed? I know we are from different countries but any ideas?
help will be greatly appreciated
thanks!
You can buy full housings off eBay, dunno about just the screen... Either way, you would need to open up the whole thing yourself. Maybe HTC can do it for you, I don't know...

Thanks you very much i appreciate your help
Don't know exactly for the hero, but when I broke my screen from my diamond
I found some repair centers on the internet. Picked one who actually had a shop
and got it fixed for 100,- (euro's)
Considering the screen costs 80,- that's not to expensive. I would be suprised if the hero wasn't fixable in that way
Guys, I have my rooted Eris for sale. Just got a Droid Incredible, so I don't need it anymore. Nothing wrong with it, overclocks to 710 just fine. Any questions?
$100
Bump.... this thing is still available. Make me an offer, please!

How would I pay for this if I don't have paypal. I'm a dev on here, I have 2 ROMS out and just recently dropped my phone in the ocean so I really would like to have another Eris but I can't have a paypal account.
google checkout have options to send bills like paypal?
I don't use paypal either so if you want to send me a money order that would work fine
Western Union is always an option or better yet

COD by the US postal service. He does not pay you get it back in the mail.
I'm open to anything. Mailing a money order seems easiest, but makes no difference to me
No offense to you but the only problem with this is he might send the money order and never get the phone. With COD he gets the package at his door before paying and you don't have to worry about him stiffing you.
Very true, again, I'm down with whatever

+1 .... no offense to anyone but I have to agree that this seems like the best option for both. But that's just my opinion

I think i'm going to have to stick to craigslist. I'm in the Army and as some know, you cannot go very long without some type of contact method or you can get in serious trouble. It was a good idea at the time because it's a really good deal. However, buying a phone from someone on the "mainland" means waiting a while for shipping which is something I don't have enough rank for lol. So sorry if I seem like an a$$ but I think i'm going to just get something on craigslist that way I can get it locally on the island and have it almost instantly. Thanks a lot though man, I really appreciate you willing to work with me on it! Now let's hope this tsunami doesn't sweep me and my family out to the ocean! LOL
Don't sweat it, stay safe!
Bump.... this thing is still available. Make me an offer, please!
So is it still available?
So is it still available?
It is not, I sold it
I should have caught this when it came up, but ANY sale of devices belongs in the marketplace.
I dropped my Dell from like knee level on floor..
and ..
and.. the screen LCD gave away !!
The case is NEW !! the screen is NEW !!
and the LCDs inside are damaged in the corner!!
The buggers...
I will try calling the Dell CC.
Till then, is it safe to use the Streak like that!
YOu all think they will replace it??
I have seen mixed responses here at forum..
I am here in Bangalore, India.
__
I add to the bandwagon who are asked,
" How do you drop a $400 phone ? " !!!
__
Awww Mann!
care,
Sony.
Dude, did you not get some kind of cover ? I am so paranoid, I didn't use my phone till I got my Otterbox Commuter.
SOrry for your loss.
Did you buy it here in India (with warranty) or bought it from US (like I did)
Ya.. Dooms here!
Ya, I bought it from US only
Scream: Noooooooooo !!
You are right in being Paranoid..
I am really to be damned!
I called up dell, and they say they cant help as its from US !!!
and that International warranty does not apply in India!!!
I dont know, but, Since, I am in Bangalore, I will try to have a visit to the Service Centre.
But, I do not hope much from that!
Can anyone help?
ahh,
Care,
Sony.
Some kind soul!
Some kind soul,
please help me in this time of distress!
Ahhh, I am hurt, and so is my Streak,
I love my droid, but I am no Freak!

Care,
Sony

Alperin1, My guy! I have store your pdf the day I managed to injure my Streak!
Thanks for that..
But, again.
If any warranty solution is available. I would want it to work, before I am compelled to !
so, I guess.. There is no one here in Dell.
(Or anyone from India.. who has done it?)
Care,
Sony.
You can exchange it with Dell for a Refurbished for $250.00 if you are the registered owner or replace the lcd yourself for around $100.00.
Those are your options. Calling Dell other than to do an out of warranty exchange for 250.00 would be a waste of time since this would not be covered under the normal warranty.
My Otterbox Defender should be here today to protect my newly replaced screen.. .
May I can make you a little better...
Just take a look at the picture...

Like I said,
I am in India, and I dont think I will be making any US trip soon!
So, the exchange / replacement at $250 is not in scope currently!
I am serious about the 100 bucks replacement screen, but, again,
Like I said, It will be like 200 bucks here in India.
That's the problem!
Thanks for your input.
Keep your Streak Safe!

Hey mate,!
I looked at the pic.
that does not make me feel better!!
I am even more sad, that you have a Smashed-up Streak too!!
I agree my damage is not as bad as yours.
I mean I can still operate the phone and all.
(I dont know if its safe to use it like that?!!, Is it?)
Two questions:
Are you from India (Or any country which does not have good Dell support!)?
What did you do about the damaged screen?
Edit: I was trying to check for the replacement screen from ebay, but, the 100 bucks screen does not ship to India!!!
If any of them does.. Puhleeez, let me know!
Care,
Sony.
@All: Please take care of your streak! , Use it like it is your laptop.!
So I'm a computer engineer, Brazilian, living in UK.
That phone belong to my friend fat ass 150 kilos, he few weeks ago brake the glass in 3 parts while play futebol, 5 days ago he come to me almost crying, he just sit on the phone, he said when felt the phone he lift but 150 kilos huge fat ass you can imagine.
I see on ebay for £80 glass, screen and tools, I'm thinking about buy and change by myself.
On that link http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1 you can see how to open easy, and a quick look on the web can found videos where show what to do.
I think if you can see the screen, still working why not keep using the phone whyle you can ?
That is some funny ****.....fat ass....lol
Call the shop that I have listed in my guide. Maybe they can ship it. I even think they may be from India or email them.

Ok, I think, I asked this too..
Is it safe to use a LCD damaged?
Attaching pic.

Update: Recovering from the shock..
I know many people who actualy keep using the phone after a crack on screen, if you can touch and it work why not ?
The streak in my possesion I can't see a thing in the screen but still working, I can answer phone calls and make as well, I just need to remember where is the shortcut.

I will have a looky once here at the service center ( when I get time that is!)
BUt, till then, My dear streaky is good enough!
Thanks all!!
Will update on later action.
care,
Sony.
The more I see of these cracked screen reports the more I wonder how long before a class action lawsuit is filed against Dell for this problem. Gorilla Glass be damned.
About what I see already the original case is so week, first problem the streak was droped on the floor from about 1 metre, that was enough to made a smal crack on the glass, so week unfortunately
If anyone wants the email for the shop in the Philly that carries the LCD, please PM me and I will get it for you.
