The dis-assembly went rather smoothly. When I was kind of finangling to get the new digitizer on, I noticed that the actual strip had become lose. I believe this may have been caused by the heat of my hand - or perhaps it was fault to begin with.
Now looking at the circuitry and the ribbon itself, it doesn't seem like anything is broken. Would there be any way for me to adhere the ribbon back on properly in order to make my digitizer work again? I don't really have the money to shell out for a brand new one and this is a bit of a pain in the butt.
Thanks in advance.

I think it may be a fault in the replacement you ordered and should request a new one. The "heat" from your hand couldnt have done that, and if it did, that would have happened anyway because the internals of the phone would get much hotter

I'm fairly sure it was quite loose right when I took it out of the package. It pretty much slipped off kind of like a soapy sticker. This can't be right, can it?

Perfect. The part definitely seemed strange from the get-go. The company offered me 10% off, which I don't really feel is fair if the part is actually defective.
I've linked them to this thread, so if some more people could chime in that would be absolutely great.
So the part is defective and they wont replace it free?
Nice business model. Sounds shady.

Yeah it defiantly must be dodgy as I have broken my screen and fitted a new digiziter and it has functioned flawlessly. No damage whatsoever during installation, you should defiantly get a refund

Threaten to get BBB involved. That's the only way I got repair universe to send me a replacement after many emails about the matter. The digitizer they sent me had the ribbon cut nearly in half. Gave me the run around about how their stuff is fully tested before leaving the site and if I could take a picture. I told them all I wanted was my digitizer and if they couldn't honor their return policy I would call BBB and report. I was given the RMA the next email.

I agree, but like you said. When you are dealing with an internet company with no supposed phone support, sometimes that's what needs to be done. Although I did eventually find a phone number for them, I didn't need to use it before they finally made it right.

Cracks in the aluminum. Just noticed today that my phone has cracks in the aluminum, i have never dropped the device and have had a Silicon cover on it.
I called the reseller and they want to send it to samsung, but that's gonna take like 2-3 weeks And samsung said that the warranty is gone, cus i have rooted it, but it has nothing to do with the software.
Anyone else that have seen this?

From CF-Root 6.4 thread:
How to uninstall
This is by no means an extensive guide for unrooting, but if you want to sell or warranty your device, I advise the following procedure:
- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official
Some of these steps may require further info, if you can't figure it out, do some more searching, or ask people who aren't me

Sorry, i did try to search, but the search function seams to be broken?
I honestly don't know what to do, flash stock and send it to repair or just live with is :/
One it does look like a cut from the picture but visual inspection may show a crack .
What will Samsung say crack or cut when they look at it .
But you do say cracks not one crack .
Two removing traces of root is easy and returns phone to a warranty state .
So do you want to remove root return the phone and get it back in a few weeks saying not warranty its damaged .
In that respect could you not get a local store to just look at the crack first to confirm it is and save wasting time .
jje
I have one of these too!
I have vertical CUTS at all 4 corners, where they smooshed together the pieces. There is no space between the two sides of the cut, and you can't even feel it, but it's there and visible if you look for it. My phone has been dropped a fair amount, but the cuts were there the day I got it.
"Don't worry about it" is my advice.
* BTW, yours is definitely a crack. I still just wouldn't worry about it.
I have one on the bottom right corner too. And it looks more like a joint than a crack

Don't listen to the others telling you nit to worry. If you haven't dropped it get on to the place of purchase asap. I made the mistake of not doing that and dented my phone a little after so I'm out of luck. It will split all the way through soon. The ones in the four corners r normal.

Have the blue and all 4 corners have the crack. Not sure if this is consider normal! Been looking at high res photos of the phone and they aren't there, so question is how is this normal?! I will go to samsung monday and check this.
I did drop my phone. Samsung are say the cracks are from the phone been dropped.
I think it's from the over heating problem the phone got.

Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre after bricking their phone?
Long story short but i flashed the wrong boot animation and completely wiped the phone and despite several attempts to get a ROM on it again (spent days) I was unable to do so so brought it back to the shops where I bought it (was locked to o2 but I got it unlocked)
They sent it to company here called Fonemenders, i got a text today saying it has to be sent for level 3 repairs and mentioned something about the motherboard, now that has scared me a bit, it's bad enough I have to wait another 7 to 10 days but does anyone think I'll get charged given they'll see that it says tampered on it, i fail to see how it could be a problem with the motherboard too.
Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre and what was the process.
Seriously contemplating never flashing anything again on my phone after this nightmare
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I don't have any experience with HTC's repair centers, but I've sent in several rooted Samsung devices and a bricked Asus Transformer for repair. My experience has been that the people in the repair centers really don't give a crap. Relax and hope for the best :good:
Samsung phones are seriously easy to modify compared to HTC, I'm no noob and read extensively on here and followed instructions to a t but still couldnt manage to get a stock or custom ROM back on my phone after that bad flash and me wiping it, no matter what I done.
Feel like I'm missing a limb here have gone over a week without it and now have another week wait, i won't rest easy until I have a fully working phone again.
Hope you are right my friend.

I don't think HTC phones are difficult to flash, sure, not as easy as Samsung, but on the other hand, much harder to brick.

I'm a bit concerned though why they mentioned the motherboard (see attached) there was nothing wrong with the motherboard all that needed to be done is for stock ROM to be flashed back on it.
I'm reading some reports of people being charged a lot when they are informed the motherboard has to be replaced, i should have just sent it into a repair shop in town for €25.
Well the flash ROM is soldered to the motherboard, if it is bricked, it would require a new motherboard.
It's probably not bricked, but in order to maintain your warranty, sometimes they say they must return it in "factory condition", which means unlocked. Which means a new motherboard. That's probably not really true in most cases, but once it's been unlocked, it's possible to overvoltage and overclock, which has the potential, however slight, to cause hardware damage.

I'm very curious to see how HTC will replace the motherboard without causing dents in white polymer or screen damage, as we saw in ifix only with heat and a scalpel can be open the ONE.
Unless HTC repair center have an opening method that we dont know, they should give you a new device.

I sincerely hope you are right mate, I'd snap up a new device now.
I will report back anyway, if they come up with obscene charges I'll have to just leave it into a mobile repair shop here, i already went there and they said it would take a week and I thought that was too long but in retrospect I should have just left it with them.

Sorry when I said bricked it's just a term, i could get into recovery and I even relocked the bootloader so i tried all the various commands but i simply could not get anything to work, can't they just flash a ruu.exe for my device, i tried that myself but the ruu.exe in question was not compatible with my phone (earlier version)
What happens in an event that they fix it and then try and charge me and I refuse to pay or is it likely they'll be contact me first to inform me of this, and if i refuse to pay they'll just give me back the phone as it is?
I'm skint and haven't really got the money to pay for repairs, can afford a few quid but not over €100

iFixits teardown was flawed. If you pop the two speaker enclosures off there are screws that allow you to open the device.

Yup. The detachable speaker covers are the last seal in the assembly but iFixit acted under the assumption it's fully zero gap, so they broke it

If they have identified an issue with hardware then thats good for you as you'll get a new device and your flashing has not been identified as they issue..... Your lucky they're doing it under warranty.

I have owned a Nexus 7 2nd gen for a couple months now and have just started to get random flashes of black (occurs for not even a quarter second) ...
I am wondering what causes this...
I have not damaged the Nexus in any way and bought it brand new..
I have only used CleanRom and PA ROM...
The functionality of the tablet remains great, but the flashes are very annoying ...I have tried clean installing multiple times but the flashes still happen...
Any feedback/solutions would be a big help...

Just because you bought it off ebay doesn't mean it doesn't still carry the 1 year manufacturer warranty on the hardware. It would require you to send it in, but worth a shot.
Once you pop the back and start fiddling with hardware, you run the risk of doing enough damage where Asus will void the warranty. I think I would check with Asus first before resorting to hardware modifications.

Got the phone yesterday, the only thing I've done is unlock the bootloader and download all my apps. It worked perfectly fine last night, went to bed all things were great.
I woke up this morning and it was turned off which was strange, held down the power button to boot up and it gets to the home screen and immediately says "shutting down" the battery isn't dead so i'm not sure what the issue is.
I've tried turning it on with the charger plugged in and it does the same thing.

The lady kept telling me "Sir you need to send the phone back, wait up to 14 days for a refund and then rebuy the device." I kindly told her that was unacceptable and I'm not waiting until the end of november to use the phone.

Omg, that is terrible! I have read that people are getting replacements withing a day or two...you should call back and speak with a supervisor or something

So I'm having the same problem, I wonder if it's because I'm on the old firmware.

Did you unlock the bootloader ? Root or install a recovery ? Just wondering if that is the cause or a hardware issue that has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader ?

I called back and talked to another guy, he went through troubleshooting steps and said I qualified for a replacement. I made it very clear that I didn't want a refurbished device and expected a brand new device and he said I would be getting a brand new one. I also told him if i got a refurb that i'd just send it back as a return and buy a new phone.
But it's an advanced replacement, said I was one of the first people calling in that needed a replacement device so that's good news I guess.

I was on the newest firmware when the issue first came up.

Only thing I had done was unlock the bootloader, but I even relocked the bootloader and had the same issue.
