Hi I'm looking for someone willing to sell me a broken or bricked phone. I want one just so I can take it apart and look at the inside/keyboard, because I'm trying to make a case for my acer liquid e and love the way the g1 slides, so it being functional dosen't matter at all.

Hi all,
I have a X7501 with a cracked screen (my own fault and stupidity), and I have found a source for a replacement screen, but the screen is showing for an X7500. What I want to know is if the two screens are interchangeable or if I have to find a specific model. Logically, in my mind, it should work, because of platform, <sarcasm> but since when did logic and manufacturers ever get along? </sarcasm>. Anyone have direct experience with this?

They should be one and the same
How ever before you go ahead make sure you want to do it yourself rather than send it for repair, the athena can be very daunting and the risk for messing up.
read these, I like the Russian guide more than the manual even if I do not speak a iota of Russian..

The thanks goes to lakeman, he posted the links in the original thread.

I live on the inside of electronics, so it shouldn't be too bad (plus I plan to have an uninterrupted block of time to do it in, so I don't leave and forget...). Not to mention, my camera is my best friend when working on this stuff... Thanks for the warning and the links (I have them both and have gone through them multiple times...)

Hello everyone... In this thread here

We are looking at the possibilities of hardware hacking the G1/Dream - ideally finding a way to increase RAM - and if successful.. turbo charge the entire thing like no other software hack ever could.
In order to move forward with this endeavor we need G1s/Dream's. So we can take them apart, identify the chips, get the specsheets, solder around... with the ultimate goal that you can send in your g1..pay a few backs, and get it back with 4 times the memory... imagine the possibilities.. Ram Discs, etc.
Now we're not sure if we ever get there.. but there are enough G1s out there where it might as well be attainable. So if you have a bricked G1.. you'd be willing to donate to the community (we are identifying capable individuals brave enough, smart enough, and willing enough to do it) LET us know in this thread... so if you have a bricked, or damaged g1 (f.e. wifi not working or anything).. post in this thread.. and we'll put you in touch with someone that is willing to give it a shot...
Lets take the G1 hacking to a new level...
So, I'm looking for a Windows Phone 7 device to have a play around with, not looking to spend too much as it's just going to be a toy really, and I came across this Trophy going cheap on ebay.
The phone doesn't boot at the moment, and the seller says "It either will turn on to the white screen with the htc logo on and wont go any further or you can turn it on to the bootloader and connect it to the pc, but thats it".
Does anyone know if it can be resurrected? I'm quite techy but I'm not a dev, as long as I have instructions I'm quite comfortable flashing roms and such, I used to have a HTC Hero that I rooted and flashed custom roms etc to, so I'm used to all that stuff. I've attached some pictures of the screen, if anyone can tell me whether it's bricked or not, and if it can be fixed (and possibly point me toward some instructions on what to do!) I would appreciate it.
I personally wouldn't buy it since you don't know exactly what happened with it. But it looks to me like maybe the GoldCard method would work...
...even though you might not have enough information to retrieve from the phone to create an actual GoldCard, you might be able to flash it with the original ROM using an Y-cable and an external card reader.
What is his asking price?
It's on an auction ending in 2 days, no bids yet so its still on the opening price of £20. I reckon it's worth a go as long as it doesn't go above £30
Of course, as long as it hasn't been opened I could just send it to HTC for a warranty repair, but where's the fun in that?
You could ask ansar on our forums if he helps you
