Is there a way to change the front casing? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I'm about to buy a used 8525 with some scratches on the front casing...is it possible to change the front face with a newer one? Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement, how much it costs, and how to replace it? I would still like to an 8525 replacement face for warranty purposes.
thanks

I want your broken wizard!

Please, its been about a month since the earpiece on my wizard died and i can't find the part anywhere! I found one damaged wizard on ebay which sold for $400 with a damaged screen! obviously a fradulent buyer but the seller hasn't replied yet.
So if your wizard is water damaged, smashed, or simply inoperable i need this one part to fix my earpiece. Also my brothers wizard's speakers are blown so it'd be great if i could get a hold of those two.
What i need is the ribbon cable which connected the main board to the top sliding half of the device. Its a ribbon cable attached to a circuit board on both ends.
Please i really need this so i can bring the phone part of my wizard back to life.
PM me if you know where i can get this part or if you have a damaged wizard.
Thanks in advance!
broken wizard!
i do have a working one with cracked screen. where are you located?
i should have mentioned that.. I'm in austin, texas. If u are over seas i can check to see if i can make it elligible for a corporate rate to ship it to me.
Also how much would u be wanted for it?
I'd offer you mine, but I got the same thing broken.
i just emailed 2 sellers on ebay which have cellphone parts and wizard housings in there stores, awaiting there reply. And i'm working something out with the one person with a damaged one from ebay.
What do you guys think $85 good for a wizard with a damaged screen?
broken wizard
I have a broken wizard--I dropped it, but I can still make calls from it via the bluetooth headset.
PM me if you are interested and I'll give you my phone #.
I've pm'd u, but does that mean your earpiece is broken as well? Cuz what i need is the ribbon cable that powers the earpiece, LCD, digitizer, softkeys, and everything else on the front half of the device. So if yours is broken then probably won't help mine out much.
i guess so. If you need an intact (front) then mine won't help--due to the fact that the "cal answer/hangup " buttons do not work.
The damaged one i bought off ebay came in today, swapped the parts out and now my earpiece is working again!! i'm so excited!!
Now i have all these parts lying around if anyone needs anything send them my way. The parts i got are:
The main board
Camera
Vibrator
Main housing (except for the front its really banged up)
Antenna
Keyboard
But no battery cover, didn't come with one.
Heres a pic of the mess i had on my desk but it all worked out perfectly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I no longer have the damaged wizard so please don't PM asking for parts.
hey fone_fanatic, wondering if you ever experienced your Wizard creaking when you press down on the front faceplate(below the call/end buttons)....seems to come from the hinge right under the the right soft key (the one connected to the keyboard), only thing is it only makes noise when the keyboard is closed and my keyboard is not loose at all(nice and snug)....just wanted to know if you might know of a fix for my problem, would you recommend me taking it apart or just sending it in for a warranty repair or do you know if it is pretty easy to somehow shorten the gap between the front face and the keyboard?.... appreciate the time.
Regards,
P.S. My Wizard works fine, its just starting to get very annoying when I make/end phone calls.
no, mine doesn't make any noise when i press down there. well there is a noise but its coming from the battery cover. if your device is under warranty, i suggest sending it in if it bothers you that much. the reason being because when u open it up your bound to break a couple of clips which might make it worse.
fone_fanatic: I love that mess on your desk
You might want to mask out your First National Card though - edge detection filters would love that image...

don't worry about the card, its one of those advertisement cards you get in the mail syaing your pre-approved or whatever. i always keep those cards and use them with taking devices apart.

anyone got a 8125 with a cracked LCD but all other functions still working?
yes, i'm aware of pocket pc techs but they didn't have the part i needed to fix mine whihc is why i bought a damaged one and salvaged the part i needed out of it. Now i've got all these extra parts , but what to do with them...?
@ fone_fanatic
thanks for the advice....off to warranty it goes...hope it comes back with no new problems (fingers tightly crossed)....
Regards,
hey can I see that pic of the parts u got left?
I wouldnt mind buying a wizard with just a broken LCD if it was cheap. $180 to send it in to fix a LCD is super expensive when the phone is like $350 on ebay

The reason i bought it the this one with the damaged lcd is because i couldn't find the part i needed (Rigid Flex Board) anywhere so i swapped my broken one out with this one. So if i was to put this back together not only would the lcd be busted but the earpiece won't work also the speakers would be blown (sold good speakers to a friend). Also the front case is heavily scratched/dinged, looks like someone smashed a brick on the phone.

Wizard Facia Housing

Hello, I have a Qtek 9100 and unfortunately I dropped it and scratched the front of the casing up pretty bad. The phone is still in perfect condition and not even a scratch on the back or the screen. I am looking for the front housing. I do not have any scratches on the rear housing, keyboard, or even the battery cover. I have looked on Ebay and the only thing that I have found is for around $100 (US). I do not want to pay that much for something that I can conceivably drop again. So my question is; is there anyone out there that knows where I can get a front housing? I would even buy the total housing to use as a backup but I do not want to spend an arm and a leg for it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone has.
im looking for one myself.. i dropped my imate kjam a numerous amount of time...and the body has been scratched up rpetty bad
if theres a way to get it in canada, ottawa.. id really appreciate to find out..
thnx
How about vinyl sticker to put on top of the scratches? Like those offered by mytego.com?
you can see how it look like from this thread at howardforum

Oh. That's slick the way the background and vinyl work as one.

Faceplate w/o front camera hole?

....does anyone know of anywhere i could get one? i was attempting to take my Tilt out of the holster i have, and dropped it, scratching the faceplate and the buttons on the front....iwas looking to buy another faceplate and just replace it and the buttons, but i can't find one without the hole for the front-facing camera on it, and i was hoping someone might now where i could do so?
...also, anyone have any video or instructions on exactly how to change the faceplate and the buttons on the front also? i'm sure i could figure it out, but with such an investment as i made into this phone, i want to be absolutely sure.....
EDIT: ok, i found the AT&T faceplate w/o the front camera, but for $49.99, instead of the $12.99 i'd pay for the regular HTC or unbranded version WITH the front camera.......so now i'll add this question, if i DO buy the plate WITH the front camera, will it still fit the same?

Recently it appears HTC have introduced an American version of the HTC branded TyTN II without the VGA camera for video calling so if you wait long enough for parts for this model to drift into the supply stream, you may get a HTC branded one without the camera hole cheap, just like the other one. It sounds like it's still usable as is in the meantime.

TMO HD2 Parts

Somehow the plastic lens over the flash has cracked. I have a case on my phone and there is really no sign of damage and I have yet to drop the phone. Anyone know where to get a new rear cover for the phone. Also Im not sure if it's just my phone but the vibration sounds terrible. It sounds like a blown speaker when it vibrates so I would like to replace that too. Anyone know where to get any parts?
HTC? ebay?
Maybe you could post an ad in the Marketplace for a bricked hd2.
Both good ideas. Have been following ebay for anything available, and HTC is no help. Ill post something here. Thx. Not sure why parts for this phone are so difficult to find.
There are tons of replacement lenses on ebay - do a search in EBAY as HTC HD2 lens camera - they are cheap but you need some sort of adhesive to attach the lens back on the rear cover. Full housings OEM genuine are available from www.cnn.cn buy they are extremely expensive.
There are several internal speakers on ebay as well.
Ah hell, mine did the same thing, and I know I didn't drop it, I think it cracked from heat or something.

Rear housing replacement

Does anybody need a rear housing? The minimum order is 2, and i would need another buyer. The housing also serves to replace the lens for the camera. Mine is scratched up so I thought this would be a good opportunity to replace both.
Parts are at GDP: globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-Back-Housing-p/smsng6085950.htm
I know I am new here so want to assure that I will be a honest group buyer. PM me.
