Very vague... But I have a functioning Nexus 7 16gb motherboard with broken backlight. If i bought an 8 GB Nexus 7, could i swap out the motherboards and put the 16 GBmotherboard in the 8 GB one? I would like to get one fully funtional 16GB Nexus 7 in the end, and wouldn't mind saving $50 if I could.
Thanks!

Technically, I see no reason why that wouldn't work. The only difference between 8GB and 16GB models should only be just that, the size of the internal storage chip, which is on the motherboard.
It would cost less to send the tablet to Asus for a repair. A full screen replacement would most likely be $100 max.
Sounds like good idea.

I heard peoples saying screen repair is costing 170+
If there was a confirmation about the board that would be the best choice. (Spare parts)
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
It should work. You could sell the spare parts to help cut down the overall cost of the 8GB model. Screen repair via ASUS is said to be $150+.
How did the backlight go out? Sounds like it should be covered under warranty.

All cost reports are $150-170 that I've seen posted...
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Also the backlight went out because of the most precise drop ever into a thin metal bar... Very little physical damage, but the display connector that is integral to the screen is seperated slightly... Further the bezel is cracked so i think a new Nexus 7 8 GB would be the best option.
Thanks all!

Didn't know if anyone knew this buy Best Buy is selling the TF300 for 399.99. Just 20 more dollars for double the memory. So if you want a great tablet I would swoop in BB to get one.

Yeah I didn't think they had it either but I went there yesterday to buy the 16GB model and they had the card stock for a 32GB model. I asked the guy and he said yes, I was stoked. He at first grabbed me the 16GB model so I had to do an exchange for the 32GB model. When I get home I'll shoot a picture of my receipt

This makes me sad, i checked with my local Best Buy earlier today and they still don't have the 32gb version. Not the end of the world for me, just figured if i could easily swap it for the 32 i'd be all for it.

well for me I was always checking best buy for it, always checking the site and going in like every 3 days. I was in a rock in a hard place to either wait or just grab it from amazon. My wife keeps making fun of me because I am an instant gratification type of guy and I just want it now and not wait for shipping from Amazon. If I were you I would check up on it as much as I can because you have 30 days to exchange or if your a premiere silver member you have 45-60 days to exchange it, cant remember which one. Im sure they will have it advertise in the Sunday weekly ad.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
Yep. In the ads, and Its now available at every store near me. Contemplating the exchange. Broke right now. In all reality Ive never even come close to running out of memory, with the exception of my Evo 3D due to only having 1gb internal.
On my 300 I have 16gb internal, and a 16gb sd card. With 151 apps and games I have 8.79gb internal, and 11.45gb external left.
On my Galaxy Tab 7.7 I have 16gb internal, and a 16gb sd card. With 137 apps and games. Still have 6.27gb internal and 10.01 external left.
Although only $20 for double the memory is awesome, I dont want to risk any issues with the new one. (Light bleed, etc). The one I have now is perfect. Besides with my luck Ive had lately with Best Buy and tablets Id probably get a bad one.

For those of you that exchanged for the 32gb is the color the same dark blue? Or is it the lighter blue that some people got?

If I exchange logic boards will it still work? I want to upgrade my memory and figured the memory is probably located somewhere on the logic board.

The logic boards are different and there have been changes made between the different revisions of the N7. You wouldn't be able to simply swap it out. There are schematics and tear-down pics of the 16GB, 32GB, and 32GB 3G version of the N7 that you can take a look at. Ultimately, your best bet would be to sell your 16GB so you can buy the 32GB.

Selling my streak had it for a little over a year. Everything in the phone works great nothing broken. Very minute scratches on the screen (obviously since its huge!)
Comes rooted and unlocked (originally bought from best buy and used in at&t but tested to work on T-Mobile and cosmote/tim in Greece.) Post here for any other information or pm me.

On a phone as old as the Streak the accessories really don't add value... that's just what the market dictates.
You'll be lucky to get $150 for it

I'll sell mine for $100. In the spirit of full disclosure, I cracked the corner of the screen when it slid from my pocket and hit the tile floor from about 18 inches. Minor, but I replaced it with a standard, non-gorilla glass version about 2 years ago. It's been in an Otter case since then. I've tried a few ROMs from the different developers here, just ran out of time and interest playing around with it. For the price, I'll retain the second 16G microSD card.

no, that's pretty much impossible. I bought the entire gorilla a glass, LCD, and controller on ebay as 1 unit. I think it shipped from Hong Kong.

it's been at least 2 years but I imagine it was around 50 dollars.
In the nearby mall, they have a kiosk where you can recycle your old cell devices. On a lark I checked to see how much they would give me for the Streak in perfect condition.
$15.
I laughed. But it highlight's the possibility that even $150 may no longer be a reasonable secondhand price for the Streak.

Just bc that's what they trade it in for that doesn't mean that's what its worth...similar to trading in a car at a dealership. Obviously they will need to make the profit aswell.

Hey guys, I broke my screen 7 months ago and new screens were so unbelievably expensive I just bought a new tablet. Now, the new tablet got stolen....
Did screens drop in price enough I can afford to fix the broken one? =/ Otherwise, I am going to have to go without.
Thanks!
Not much there like 130$ for a new LCD, just buy another new tab lol

So I broke my screen in my Nexus 4 from Google Play Store. I don't exactly have the money to repair it right now especially considering it costs damn near what a new 8gb costs. Anyways I have the 16gb version and am wondering if there are any users here that need the main board for a replacement of a bad one in their device. I would be willing to give the broken phone to whoever needs it at no charge. I just feel like someone should get some use out of it . The phone turns on and boots up fine it is just unusable due to the screen.
I understand that buying and selling devices is not allowed here anymore but technically I am donating my device to new home for rehab. If this is not allowed I apologize and will remove the post.
By the way the screen is the only broken part on the phone. Back glass is just fine.
