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.
I discovered my phone filled up with sprite during a house move for my sister , long story short over the course of 2 hours or maybe more my touchscreen slowly died and now does not work at all.
Ive taken it apart and all looks well, I've got my finger on the "order new screen/digitizer" button just want to know if anyone knew if that was a bad idea and wasn't going to fix it... any suggestions or notes? thanks guys
Buy new LCD (complete).. If you buy just the digitizer then you have to unglue the digitizer from the screen, Align and reglue the new one. If you stuff it up its a lot of time and effort wasted and you still have a dud phone...
The complete lcd WILL cost more (on ebay Oz digitizer is $20 and lcd is $100) but the hassels of putting in a new digitizer are ridiculous...
I actually just bought a "broken" Hermes of the same model and paid $120.. It still worked fine but I now have OTHER spare parts if something else dies...
Just a thought....
Cheers...
well http://www.blackberry8100parts.com/...Touch-Screen-Digitizer-With-Tools_p_3-73.html is what i was looking at, as far as i can tell thats the screen and the digitizer together and i dont have to mess around with putting the two together for 35$, or am i mistaken?
Looks right and is a good price too...
broke digitizer. ordered new digitizer but broke the lcd taking it off. ordered lcd. mine clips on, ordered solder on version.
That was 5 months ago. It's been sitting here ever since. Worked fine with cracked screen before I opened it up. I've rebuilt phones before, but I dont feel like puting anymore money into it. So if you need any part, including brand new digitizer and solder lcd let me know. battery, and battery door gone
I know I'm new here, but I have 150+ on ebay

Hi. I purchased an Evo 4G from some dude on Craigslist. I verified the ESN was clean via checkesnforfree.com and I was well aware it had a cracked digitizer. I purchased a new one via ebay and it came in today. I watched YouTube videos over and over as well as followed the steps on ifixit.com and thought I did it right. That is until I turned it on and it vibrates and then the screen flashes white briefly and then that's it. It remains dark.
Any ideas as to whether it is a faulty digitizer? I have checked, re-checked and even re-checked to ensure that the cables was set in snugly and that the latches were latched.
Again, the phone was working just fine prior to me replacing the digitizer. It was dim but it responded to the touch and all buttons seemed to function normalls including the camera and speakers.
Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. Feel free to email me as well.
Thanks in advance.
Take the battery out, replace it, does the phone turn on while holding volume - ?
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
That sounds more like the LCD is bad. If you say the screen was dim, that's the LCD, not the digitizer.
I had that same problem, but it turned out the ribbon for the lcd was not fully inserted. So I pushed it in more and it turned on.. Hope this helps.

replacing digitizer, I bent a couple of hair wires on one of the brackets!!
I bought the evo 4g a while back for 400 bucks, within a few weeks I dropped the phone cracking the digitizer. Done a ton of research on how to fix it, then ordered a new one plus all the tools to fix it on Amazon. while I was putting it back together, I was super careful returning them to their brackets, however, a couple of the tiny little hair sized wires on the base bracket bent crossing over some of the others, I tried to straighten them out but of course this didn't work I suppose, when I got it all back together, the phone will not turn back on. I have looked in millions of online places on what I can do but found nothing, I have also called the Sprint repair store who basically laughed at me and said I threw away 400 bucks. the only thing I can think of aside from tossing my money in the trash, is hope and pray that I can find someone with some extra brackets and hope and pray I can somehow replace it without screwing it up again. Please PLEase PLEASE, if anyone can help me at ALL I would be so very greatful!!!
I cracked my screen so I ordered a new one. Taken the phone apart to replace the screen lcd was easy but when I finished putting it all back together and turned it on the microphone doesn't work. I have taken it apart more than 3 times already to see what is the issue.
Microphone doesnt seem to be ripped or broken. So i was just wondering what to do,
Will take some close up pictures and upload them if you like.
i actually took mine apart today to fix the glass and lcd...i ordered just the touchscreen glass not the lcd/digitizer combo...i actually seperated the glass from lcd somewhat easily but when i put my lcd on my bed...my cat jumped on my bed knocked the lcd to the ground and cracked it haha im so pissed so now i just ordered the combo....im not sure about ur mic, did u struggle to disconnect it when taking it apart? maybe u broke and piece of metal next to it?

Here is the combo that I bought from fixez.com. It was the only original that i could find online since others were not.
I had not trouble taking it out of its house. I see that it hooked to motherboard and then that square in the end and goes into that box but I dont see any connection in that box. And the other end from the motherboard and all of it around seems to be normal with no tear.
Edit. Took it apart again. And kinda pushed the thick wire of the microphone together. Still didnt worked. But tried something I havent tried. The microphone works when the phone is on speaker. Wth
