Yes, I got the dreaded cracked screen after I dropped my device. Can someone tell me where I can buy another screen or a replacement one. I have been on EBay and that did not have any luck.
screen
if its any of the xda's 1,2 or S, u can buy it from www.pdasmart.com . Efficent service and the cheapest ones as well.. but mate if its executive or jasjar..then u r screwed..cause i broke mine few days back..n i got a replacement from imate at a cost of $180.
Screen replacement
It is a JasJar... You said you got a replacement screen from IMate? who did you contact? do you still have the link or contact information?
ok today was a great day I found a place in US that will fix JasJars broken/cracked lLCD Screens. $250 = new screen and they install it.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com
At top of home page you have a option to select your device
of course this works for all versions of the HTC Universal which JasJar is one of.
250 sounds a lot. how much is a new jasjar over there?
I am not sure how much they are selling for, I am not even sure any of the couriers (Cigualar, Tmobile, Sprint) even have them on their radar to start selling them. I was one of the lucky ones at a Microsoft PDC and bought mine for $150. I can tell you after I broke my lcd I worked with IMATE for a repair and they wanted $200 for a new LCD, but they could not tell me what the labor charge would be and I would have to pay for shipping to and from United Arab Emerates which from the TNT shipping company looked to be $80 each way. So I saw $200 + Labor charge $50 to $100 + 80 + 80 = $410 or $460 and did not feel the device was worth that.
I did put in a "Want it now" search in EBay and everyone wanted $200 or more just for the LCD panel
My thought was I was having a heck of a time 3 weeks to even find anyone who would sell a LCD or fix the device themselves. I tried many places in UK and Canada with no luck. This place was in USA (so i could bug them easier on what was happen) and seems to have a good reputation on the web.

They told me they did but that was a few months ago. Anyone enquired recently and been accepted/turned down for LCD replacement for £45 on the Universal?
Oh and if anyone has a spare/used good LCD screen let me know!

Carphone Warehouse cannot directly repair any MDA XDA or SPV smartphone it usually goes back to the manufacture or network for the actual repair. best way to get quoted lead times and cost is to use the website and find the local Express repair centre. The other options would be to call their sales line and ask to be put through to repairs, or if you dont' mind a non geographic number dial 0870 0870 167 and that is the direct number for repairs they should be able to tell you roughly quoted prices and lead times based on make and model.
Thanks, will do. Why based on make/model? They were advertising 'any make/model lcd replaced, £45 all in'
PDA phones are specialty phones that also includes the blackberry.
specialty meansing really they are PDA's first not just phones
and that has alot to do with it, the other is the manufacture/network agreement. since O2/t-mobile/orange/vodaphone rebranded the htc phones, they became the manufacture in those cases. I'm betting this is why Orange is droping the SPV branding in replacement for the HTC logo on the same phones hehehehe
Just called them, my local branch in Nottingham. They still do fixed price phone screen replacement but the XDA Exec is in the higher band now and is therefore £85 to have repaired, formerly £45 but no longer.
Ahhhh well.
Looking for a broken XDA with good screen, Greg.
I have a Brand New LCD you could fit yourself if interested it's £35 plus £5 postage

Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get some advise.
I just bought a Tytn II and am now going to sell my T-Mobile Vario II. I was wondering what sort of price I should be looking for one now-a-days.
It's got the original box, but no warranty. I can put my hands-free kit in from my Tytn II as I really don't need it.
I've got the original charger and a USB sync/charge cable are easy to add.
I can also throw in my Tytn II's case. I don't need that either.
It's in near pristine condition. I got it in about April after sending my first one back to T-Mobile for repair. They replaced it instead. However, on the corner is a small, but very obvious scuff which I plan on showing when selling it.
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on what sort of price you would expect to pay for this phone if you was buying it so I can get a rough idea of what to expect.
I'll be putting the Official T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6 on the device and it is unlocked.
i reckon £130, but saying that the official wm6 and unlocked aswell wouldcrank it up if u put it on ebay. dont seel for less than 130 though.
Thanks for your reply.
That kind of price is actually quite a bit above what I was thinking. I was looking at more about £70. Especially considering the scuff on the corner is quite visible with the device being grey and red.
It's not damage which will effect the device in any way shape or form, but it is clearly visible. That's it's only downside.
I'd look at the prices on ebay... On Aussie ebay most Hermes sell for around $200Aud. This is my observation for about 2 months... Watch how they sell on ebay for a week then decide how to go about this.
Most people tend to bid in the last few hours and I've seen a Jasjam go from $55 to almost $300Aud in the course of 20 mins.
I don't know how it is on UK ebay but my advice is watch and learn.
Cheers...

Good advice.
I'd say as well (having sold a couple of phones on ebay) decent descriptions and pictures add more than you would expect to the price, so spend a bit of time writing some decent text and describing the functions in detail.
May as well watch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 - it's a similarly replaced Vario II so should give you an idea of what it will go for, once it completes.
Good luck!

i only paid a £100 for mine 12 months ago and that was virtually new, a midwife had got it on contract and then found it far too complicated to use. £130+ to me is way off the mark. I have tried to buy a few on ebay and they generally sell from £70-£100 depending on the condition , accessories included etc.
PM me with a price as a friend wants one , if you dont want to use ebay. Or if you do pm me the link
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 Someone is taking the piss on the bidding with that one its at a £155 with two days to go, i think someone is pulling his leg.
average price for one if these is about a £100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£110
http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/25809225.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/23/26155423.html <---£75
Thanks for the suggestions,
The item linked by Marsbar is going for a really high price.
To be honest, I think I'll put it on there for £70 with full pictures of it up and working then let it run for 7 days.
I just sold a Samsung Tocco on there (free upgrade from Orange) for £200 on a buy it now. That was done within hours. I think the Tytn could fetch quite a bit more than I anticipated.
I'm getting a TP and am looking to sell my Mogul to whoever wants it. Any reasonable offer is considered.
It's in good condition cosmetically and mechanically. There are a couple of scuffs on the handset from dropping it once and the screen has light scratches (you can't even tell unless the screen is off). I don't have the problems with the keyboard so long as you use the keyboard fix .cab.
Offer a reasonable price and I'll throw in the Seidio rubberized case with spring clip ($50 new) with it. The case has some marks from the clip, otherwise it's good.
I am not hiding anything here. It really is in good condition and would suit anyone's needs.
Email me at [email protected] with an offer and I'll get back with you asap.

how much are you getting the touch pro/raphael for? cheapest i can find is still ridiculous - like $480
Touch Pro sells for about $330 brand new on Ebay without contract after the Live Search discount.

love ebay... that is where I got my mogul from.. new no contract less than 2 bones..... GO EBAY... and good luck with the touch pro... cant wait to see that...
As above dropped it and made bits of the screen would anybody have one available and how much?
I have a orange spv 5000, identical device as xda exec just different branding. so I believe you can tear open the screen and use it. Everything is fully functioning about this phone except the microphone for this phone is dead.
so you could buy this phone as a PDA or tear out whatever parts you needed.
I'm asking for 120$ or best offer
I live in the U.S., shipping is free to U.S., if you live in europe, add 15$ please.
Thank you, look forward to your response
A couple of Ebay sellers have them for around $120 - $130 (US) I remember a board member getting one in Europe for around $70 -$80 (US). Search the forum for details
I have a full unit ( o2 black/ grey casing) - screen in prefect condition
2 batteries ( one new non o2 though) + all the original bits
But it won't boot past first screen - either a power or boot issue
( hence I know screen is ok )
You can have the lot for £xx inc pp to UK
----
edit
its working again now , so sorry not available for spares ( although would sell for £150 inc an o2 sim card with £10 credit and over 10 months worth of free 3g data included
zer037 sorry I havent come back to you sooner havent been able to get online for a few days. I have got the screen sorted thanks for the offer.
Hi all
The front of my Elf is scratched but it looks quite easy to remove the front and add a new one. Where can I get one and how much should I expect to pay?
Many thanks!
I can only recommend "www.cnn.cn" traded with them recently and was really astonished. They ship from out of Hong Kong, I placed an order on the 16th of Dec and recieved the goods on the 22nd - 5 days to Europe is pretty OK in my opinion
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3450-touch-c-277_391.html
Cheers for that. £48 for complete new case and LCD digitizer. Only paid £85 for the phone but then a new one is £250!

EBay has plenty of much cheaper options. I use cnn.cn from time to time and found their service to be the most excellent. However, some goods are priced way too high, so check around before you order. Digitizer and faceplates are generally about $15-$20USD ea if sold separately or $50 together.
