Need a Screen Replacement

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.

For Sale : Brand new unused XDA Exec

Hi all
I have just received a brand new o2 XDA Exec today (insurance replacement) and do not need it as I have now replaced my xda with something else so before I go down the ebay route with stupidly high ebay fees, scammers etc I thought I would offer people here the chance to buy it.
All I have done since getting it at lunchtime is charge the battery fully, checked it is unlocked with 2 different UK sim cards (it is!) and left everything else in their respective wrappers.
So if anyone is interested in a brand new Xda Exec which is open to all networks worldwide please feel free to PM me or reply to this thread.
Cheers

How much?
I've just broke the screen- I mean some1 has broke my screen trying to fit his bag next to my laptop bag on the plane and...
Anyway, have to buy new ASAP!!
Cheers
Chris

It is BRAND NEW and they are still £500 or more new (if you can get hold of one!) so make me an offer and we can take it from there...
Another guy on here is selling a used one with a GSM / 3G fault for £195 btw so something above that would be a good place to start. I can also throw in a 1GB sd card if you need it too but I imagine you already have everything if yours has only just broke!
I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne btw and can PM you my ebay id etc so you can see I am genuine.
Cheers

As I've just come back form India (4 weeks) I'm little short on cash so what about 180?

How could you possibly be short of cash after coming back from India!!!
I managed to eat out like a King for £2 per day Mmmm Thalis....
Will PM you my ebay id so you can check up on my history etc.
Like I said earlier that other guy wants £195 for a used faulty one and this is brand spanking new, as in perfect, A+++, 10/10, as in worth more than £185 I think...
I will await a higher offer in repsect of the above details as I am not in rush to sell.
Cheers

£2 per meal I guess

70p for a decent Thali off the beaten track so £2 for 3 meals per day is about right
I have put a picture of the xda online here:
cheers

Yeah, 4 weeks in Marriott plus huge shopping. All paid by me.
Anyway, India IS CHEAP!!
Cheers

okay 200 from 1ndonesia.how much is the shipping?

Mine Dopod900/Universal has just died.
195/200 pound or about SGD600 for a Universal is really a steal. I would be glad to have it.
I bought it at 3 times the price here in Singapore when it was out 2 years back. It is selling in Singapore about SGD100 more than the rest of the world when it was launched here just to have a local warranty, which gives me a lot of problem.
But, although yours has a warranty, in case of problem some months down the road, it would be a big problem for repair sending back to UK.

I hadn't thought about sending it overseas due to all the scams etc but if someone wants me to send it overseas then I will find out how much the postage is.
Let me know if you are serious...
Cheers

Thx byeeee

I have PM'd people who are interested and think I can send the xda exec via UPS or similar internationally ok.
If the buyer is UK based the xda will be sent via Royal Mail special delivery which includes insurance and gets to you next working day by 1pm.
I have sent my ebay id to those interested so you can check my details etc but please note no matter whether you are a UK or international buyer the money will need to clear my end BEFORE I send the xda as there are too many scammers out there.
MODS: Shall I supply my details to you for extra buyer protection? Not noticed how people usually sell on here...

Selling a Hermes - Advise only (not a pitch)

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.

Seen them as low as $30 Shipped on ebay

has anyone purchased something similar with successful install?
30$ is really cheap and usually you get what you pay for.

Yeah I bought one, (not from china) and it worked fine. I think the total was under $33. Only took 2 or 3 days to get here.

I am after a digitizer by itself, I have purchased a TyTN 2 for repairing, but the touchscreen has no sensor? no feeling?.. um, non-responsive
So I won't need an LCD, if you know any good eBayers that ship to Australia please PM me?
cheers guys

Cracked kaiser touchscreen here as well... Anyone who knows where to get the best deal on a new sheet of glass (digitizer)?

[Q] Replacement screen ...

Damn and double damn! Took my S4 out of my pocket (front) yesterday and it wouldn't work. Tried to brush what I thought was a hair off the screen and realised that it was a crack .... So, a new screen/digitiser is needed. Can anyone recommend a seller in the UK (or, someone in the UK recommend a seller TO the UK)? Don't mind if it's Fleabay or elsewhere, just as long as they sell what they say they sell .... I've found a few on Fleabay who seem legit but you never know ....
Thanks.

So, after some messing about I found that a local repair shop to me could supply and fit a new screen/digitiser for £99.99. Took him about 10 minutes as I'd already taken the phone apart Yes, I could have saved some money by buying via Fleabay but the extra gives me 6 months warranty. Now got what looks like a new phone.
