Anyone has a completely non working a500? - Acer Iconia A500

Anyone has a completely non working a500? I might want to do a complete hardware breakdown after my vacation. Not sure yet. So I'm just putting the question out there.

Free or pay?
PS - How did you end up with such a dead iconia?
PPS - Hang on a second. Most of the internals are working? Why didn't you rma it?

I didn't RMA due to the estimated costs of repair. I'd be happy to send it to you for free if you don't mind paying the shipping. The board is in full working order. (as far as I know) It is missing the LCD panel, glass, and battery. (As i said earlier) the board should still function, I'd be happy to send the AC adapter too.
PS: I accidentally sat on it (full weight), and it just ruined the screen. I thought the glass was still ok, but it wasn't.

Hoping for $550 AUD + user pays postage, but i'll consider any decent offer. (bumped)
I also have a official Jawbone bluetooth headset for sale, these lil fellas are probably the best out there. For seperate or combined sale.

			
				
That's all the pics for now.
bump for $550.
Hi there, my first post here. You still interested in selling? Is the unit working without problems, what rom is running? Cheers.
Interested, too
Love mine. Can't always find my keyboard, and the housing on mine is a lot, lot worse than yours. I'm also having doubts about my mini usb connection - seems that I plug it in too much. Housing by itself was running US$180 in July, but it looks as if the guy has run out of them: I can't find any now.
I live in the US, and I just checked exchange rates, so it comes out to about US$360, today.
PM me. I'm very interested.
PM me... I consider this sold for that price.
Thank you.
Still waiting on a response
I'm guessing you've got a buyer - but please let us know. If you feel inclined, it would be helpful to know how much you got for it so we can deduce a good going rate.
Thanks!
I've been seeing them go for 450-550 here in the US
If it's still going for sale ... I'm in Darwin so it won't be so far to ship
Send me a pm or email if it's sale going begging.

Trouble with SE

Hey folks!
It seems that my X10 is dead. I can't charge it anymore. I tried another wall charger and usb charging and i only get the red LED flashing 3 times. When plugging in the cable, it seems very loose so i guess the micro-usb port is broken.
Many people are having this kind of problem and i think it's caused by a constructional flaw with the plate and the charging port. it's very sensitive for shocks.
So ~1 month ago i sent my X10 to SE for fixing the problem, i still have my warranty. They sent it back saying that it hasn't been fixed becuase i dropped my phone and so it's my fault.
Well i did never drop the phone and i always covered it in a protective cover.
They sent a picture with it to "prove" it. Here it is :

}
The red stuff is some stabilisation and it's broken.
I've been in contact with SE lately and i literally begged them to fix it using my warranty. Today they denied it saying once again, it's my fault because i dropped it.
I've been reading through many forums and i read that it's a common problem with the X10. They have to burden to proof that i REALLY dropped it (there are no marks on there because i did never drop it). I have the idea of point out that it's a common problem with that *** micro usb port (constructional flaw).
What should i do? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
The X10s body easily shows signs of being dropped due to it being plastic (i.e if you drop it onto concrete ). I've dropped my X10 several times and the plastic is dented and chipped all over the place.
I don't know if I can give any suggestions as to what you can do, but if your phone's body is pristine then that should be proof enough that it hasn't been dropped.
If you have any consumer protection agencies in your country, contact them.
yeah we have some kind of that here. that would be my last option.
If you got it on contract chances are you can get a replacement through your carrier (in Canada I think its for 1 year)

[Q] Can this be fixed without buying a new part?

While disassembling the HD2 to fix the overheating CPU issue, I accidentally snapped the cable that is attached to the volume controls. Since hacking on the hd2 always involved the volume controls, it's necessary that I find a solution, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I circled in red the point on the cable that snapped. So all in all, I ask if this current board/cable can be repaired or do I need to find a replacement.

Ok judging by all the replies so far suggesting I just buy a replacement, it's safe to say that this part is unfix-able and must be replaced?
Only ever seen a ribbon repaired once & that was done by a micro soldering expert & done due to lack of available part.
best bet is new at about $25 inc P&P WW .
Used can found on xda I expect if browse or post a wanted part thread ...
I m a good electronic tecnichian,I solder from about 10 year,I chipped many and many ps1 ps2 xbox ecc.I have a professional aoyue 968 soldering and reworking station,and really good hand and sight.I ve tried to solder the flex of my hd2,the one for spare parts,so I could maybe have 2 hd2 instead of one.I can tell you that it s not possible,and I m sure that no one could solder a thing like taht

Nexus10 Screen replacement

Hi Chaps
I'm from the U.K and my little 3 year old just dropped our nexus 10 and cracked its screen.
Google and Samsung are driving me mad, each claiming that its the other's responsibility to fix the screen.
I have decided to replace the screen myself.
Q1) Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement screen within the U.K at a sensible price?
Q2) Does anyone have a damaged nexus 10 (not screen damage) that they are willing to give away or sell?
Regards
Nas

Mine looks exactly the same as the one above. I've hunted high & low, online, to get this fixed. I've waited for the imaginary nexus 10 2 to come out, hoping that a digitizer would soon be available after that. Short of buying a new one, I have no idea how I'm going to get this sorted
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :good:

Hi, I'm from the Philippines, is it possible to have my Nexus' screen replaced by you? N10 is not commercially available in the Philippines so I couldn't get it serviced here by Samsung. Please do let me know if it's possible and how. Would really appreciate your response. Thank you so much.

Transferring NFC chip to a different back cover?

So I used to have a Galaxy Note 3 and the NFC chip was on the battery. I thought the same was the case with my V20 until I bought one of those extended 6600mAh batteries (because I dont really care about the thinness of the phone) which doesnt support NFC. I noticed the lack of the black ribbon around the camera and the 2 contacts on it. Im assuming this is the NFC chip? Do you guys think it would be possible to peel it off and stick it on the new back cover that comes with this extended battery? NFC is something I use daily for NFC payments (since its widely available in Australia) and would love to still be able to use it.
Pic for what I mean

Splitting hairs, but what you see around the camera cutout on the cover is the antenna for the NFC chip. Chip is on board itself.
Honestly, I would imagine it would work, were you to be really careful about pulling the ribbon off..
That said, practicality of the matter is another thing entirely. those damned ribbon cables are crazy fragile. like, dont look at it too long, or you'll tear it fragile. and, i imagine it is stuck to the original cover with some sort of adhesive or another.
tl;dr
the odds of a botched removal are too damned high!
I'd actually like to know about this myself. Considering the v20, with the extended batteries as a main point as I hate being grounded to a charger, but NFC seems like something i would like to start to use as mobile payments are being accepted at more and more places. If you try it, let us know how it goes. Maybe you can put tape on the sticker to give it more support? Who knows. If you mess up, I'm finding spare back covers with NFC antennae for around 20 USD on Amazon.
