Has anyone found a site or know where I can order parts for this phone? I would like to replace the back housing and it looks easy and straight forward. I tried searching on google but no luck.
Is it possible to get housing parts from a Sprint store that does repair?
Bump
I cracked the plastic back cover, anybody have a replacement I can buy?

Most parts are currently out of stock but here's a site to keep an eye on.www.etradesupply.com
Cracked the screen so I'm looking for a new replacement. Doesn't seem to be much out there right now. How is the quality on these replacement screens? Are they virtually the same screen as HTC's?
Edit: A bit cheaper at $129. Seems to be the entire outer case with screen, casing, and battery - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-LTE...=774358091691373252&pid=100033&prg=1011&rk=1&

Same here. But I was also hoping a company would start selling 3rd party replacements with different colors or designs already printed on them.
Found this white housing for $150

So I've had my dna for a week and a half when my screen shattered. Ironically enough the screen protectors I ordered came in 5 minutes later. I've been scavenging the Web but can't find any replacement screens. Does anyone know if they plan to sell them in the future or is there no hope? Also if anyone has/hears of a broken dna with functional screen I'd love to arrange a deal

Were you able to locate a screen repair kit? Mine just broke also.
I am also curious about this I have a spare DNA with a broken screen...
Check eBay guys, they're readily available on there.

You do not want to attempt this without an LCD. The digitizer and LCD are fused. Skytrade on Alibaba sells both separately for about $150 total at the time of this post.
If you have only had it for a week and a half can't it be returned or replaced by Verizon? If you bought it there.

he would only be able to return it to verizon if:
1. there was nothing wrong with it and he just changed his mind(within 14 days)
2. it was defective in some way out-of-the-box.
since there's damage to the phone, he wouldn't be able to take it back. it could only be replaced "damaged" through insurance.
Anyone tried this yet? My wife's DNA just broke as well and so far the cheapest place taking them in and repairing it would be $300... anything around 100- 150 and I would be intrigued to do it myself... apparently she is not happy with my old Droid X....go figure ...
Just do insurance replacement for $99. You get brand spanking new phone with 2.04 if lucky maybe 1.15

I actually have a DNA taken apart at home right now and I'm waiting for a screen to come in. There are some companies on eBay that sell them from 130-200. Most of them ship from China so they will take a couple of weeks to get here, but its a lot cheaper then having HTC or Verizon do it. The instructions to take it apart on YouTube are where you'll want to start, and of you need the screen within a reasonable amount of time, then injured gadgets on eBay ships from the USA, but they are like 40 bucks more than the cheapest display. Just search "droid DNA assembly" on eBay and get whichever one you want.

What's your reason for paying more and waiting couple weeks for the screen? Is it cause u have root??
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Well I paid 134 for my screen, and haven't even used the phone yet. I got the parts from my step dad because his coworker dropped it and shattered the glass and LCD. He said if I could fix it, its mine, and now I just have to wait for the screen. I'm using my galaxy nexus right now and I love the phone, so I'm alright with waiting for the screen.

That's understandable! Good luck with the repair.

Just had mine fixed last week. Screen/LCD/labor was $265 with 99 day warranty. First time the screen touched the LCD and the bottom lights didn't work. Took it back the next day and they fixed it. Bottom lights still aren't right, but the screen touch was fixed. When I took it in originally, they told me they wouldn't do just the digitizer. They had tried before and couldn't get it to sit/seal correctly. Good luck with your replacement screen, and let it's know how it turns out.

I came from the GNEX to. The DNA stock or modified is worlds beyond the Gnex. You are going to love it!
I work for a wirelesszone and you can buy a insurance for a phone at any time 99.99 for the 2 years and 75.00 deductible so for a DNA replacement it would cost only 175 shipped with asurion you can only get it within the first 30 days

Yes, I have found the video on how to take it apart, even so the video I watched did not take the screen out. It seems in my case only the glass in the front of the phone is broken (since all functions on the phone still work and the LCD display looks okay) I have heard the the LCD and the digitizer are somehow heat fused together. Therefore the LCD with digitizer should be the way to go. But I have not pulled the trigger on the e-bay purchase. I'm very interested on how this goes for you.
By the way I can't get an insurance claim or phone the cheapest refurbished Verizon 4G phone would be $350 and they wouldn't even have the DNA as refurbished yet.
Hi everyone, I bought a complete black housing for the htc one but I cant find a guide to do it, the one from ifixit is not that great.

From the iFixIt teardown: "We won't lie, getting to this point was an arduous and daunting task. The amount of work required to separate the rear aluminum case and the front case was immense."
You sure you want to do this?

I saw the housing for sale a few days ago too, I don't remember what site it was though so I guess it's not a lot of help. But they are for sale and from what I remember it wasn't very expensive.
Here's one. Would be pretty crazy trying to do it though

I got curious about this housing. I'm not sure if anybody actually read the description. It says Material: Plastic.
I work in a cellphone repair shop and I have come across a phone similarly built to the HTC One, the 8x. DO NOT ATTEMPT.. That being said, from the ifixit tear down it seems utterly impossible to do any "fun hardware mods" like a housing change. This phone has no way to open it other than to open it from the display assembly, and its glued down. The Galaxy Nexus is clamped together by its plastic outer housing and bolted together by the screws inside the housing, which is relatively easy to replace and swap out. This is not the case on most new HTC phones. DO NOT TRY IT!

That would be great I bought it thinking it was going to be easy.
subscribing to this thread... interested to see what happens with the back cover... although, I'd probably just get a case :silly:
I have an annoying "spot" in the middle of my screen. Not sure if it's a bunch of dead pixels because it's more blueish than black, but definitely seems like a defective screen. Only noticeable on white and light screens, although it gets annoying. I bought the phone through Amazon so not sure if there's any type of warranty. Would need to go through HTC probably but I've heard bad stories of HTC customer service. Any thoughts?

When did you buy the phone? I think the manufacturer's warranty is roughly a year. If it is less than a year old, you might be able to replace it via warranty.

Doesn't matter if you got it at Amazon, Verizon will still honor the 1 year warranty. I had the same issue with my DNA and it was a dead pixel. Purchased at Amazon and exchanged through Verizon with certified like new device.

yeah that's a known problem with the DNA. happened to my first one. I'm pretty sure it was from using the car dock and squeezing the sides too hard plus having it in my pocket with the screen facing out,and sitting down which kind of like bent the rounded back...so it puts pressure on it and bam, blue haze.

how bad is it, you can always claim something else is wrong with it. Where did you buy it from?
It's very small. I was able to kind of hide the clear aluminum showing with a black marker. I also just noticed I have 3 dead pixels so maybe that would be enough if they don't really notice the scrapes. I got it from an official AT&T store.

Personally I dropped mine and it got scuffed a little too, so much that it bothered me. I was within 14 when it fell so I took it back and told them that it was to fragile along the edges, got way to hot (130°) which I screenshot and the headphone jack doesn't work well with FM radio and he said no problem and replaced it and that was that. It was fraud on my end, and I paid good money for a phone that I wanted to keep in mint condition. Haven't dropped the second one yet but I have gaps, which isn't too bad. My advise, go for it and it isnt fraud of there is actually a problem with it anyway.

I ended up trading it in and getting a silver one. I was completely straight with the rep and showed him the scratches which he thought was no big deal and were barely even noticeable. I had to point out the scratch locations since he couldn't even see them at first. I showed him the dead pixels and also the power button which had this awful click sound which drove me crazy. I just had to pay a restocking fee and was good to go.
