I live in Texas and was wondering if I need to buy a us version of the nexus or are they all the same . I can buy one today from eBay or wait a week and buy from google , I hate waiting lol.

So what are you going to do if there is something wrong with the unit? Send it to ASUS for repair?
Both 8gb and 16gb Nexus 7's are being shipped via Google Play within 3 business days now. Plus a lot of retail shops have them in stock as well for instant pickup.
Lot less risky than dealing with an Ebay seller.
Don't do it! I have yet to find a manufacturer anywhere that will validate a warranty from a eBay purchase. If you do buy it from eBay, be sure you don't mind having a device without warranty. Call Asus if you don't believe me (prior to purchase).

So my dog decided to chew on my nexus and the screen is cracked from top to bottom and is unresponsive to touch...
Have any of you had any luck with finding replacement parts? All I have found was this guy and it just seems pretty sketchy to me... I also found replacement backs which I will probably get.
www.dfwpcrepairs.com/google_nexus_7__tablet_screen_repair.html
Have no problems doing the repairs myself just need the parts first...
I wouldn't trust the website, the cost of the screen repair is very high because asus have made it so that the LCD is glued to the digitizer making it cost a hefty $160 for Asus to repair it themselves.
Also I cracked my nexus 7 and sent it to knowhow coverage, they told me that it is impossible for them to get their hands on a screen.
Instead they're reviewing the problem and giving me a £200 voucher for currys and PC world.

They'll only cover it if you got the dog from Asus, too.

Alright so I just need to stencil the ASUS logo then spray paint it on my dog?
Cool!
Guess I will wait a little bit and what comes around for fixing myself. May email ASUS and see If I can pay them to repair it (doubtful) or worst case senario I just buy another one.
Thanks Guys
I have been looking for Nexus 7 parts just in case something happens to one of my Nexus 7's and I couldn't find anything. ASUS will repair a broken screen for $170(US). It might actually be cheaper to buy a 8gb Nexus 7, harvest the screen and sell the rest of the parts on ebay. You may end up getting it for free if you can sell everything else off. The battery is Worth $40, The 8gb logic board is worth $99, front facing camera is $15, I/O cable(charging port and headset jack) is $15, Speaker is $15 and the charger is $15.
Is the bezel (silver lining around the screen) part of the screen also? Does that mean if i were to replaced a dented bezel, I have to replace the whole screen?

Unfortunately it is.
info
I just spoke with Asus eStore.
http://www.service.asus.com/infopage.aspx?rid=7#!consumer/csn9
Their web site lists nexyus 7 but has no parts listed.
http://us.estore.asus.com/
The person I spoke to said they do not sell the replacement screen and it would be via repair only. I was told the parts store will probably only carry chargers and cables.
I managed to get the part number of the screen it is: 90R-OK0M1L11000U (that is the letter "O" imediatly before the "K")
They had no record of who the (3rd party?) manufacturer of the screen is.
I strongly suggested they offer hte screen as a part for direct sale as the repair cost is approx the same as a new tablet, so not worth doing.
I STATED THAT THE PRESENT RESTRICTION MAKES ME QUESTION BUYING FUTURE ASUS PRODUCTS.
If enough people complain we may push them to sell replacement screen parts from their parts store.
The screen is made by Hydis model # HV070WX2. I still have not been able to find someone that has them in stock. There is a site I found that supposedly has 5k in stock for wholesalers.

would this by any chance void the warranty? my back pocket managed to crack the screen on one i JUST got from RMA. at this point i wouldnt mind buying a new one and keeping it around till replacement screens are actually plausible.
The screens are just starting to show up on the market. They are $160+. Almost easier to buy a new 8GB instead of a new LCD/Digitizer.
I'm hoping the price comes down with competition, but at this point there isn't any competition there's only few limited sources.

ASUS will service it for 202.00, ie: motherboard. They won't sell me a motherboard. They won't repair the one I have. Say they're not for sale, can't sell. I might as well just buy a new one. Last ASUS product I'll ever buy.
i would wait to see what they do with the 8GB with the discontinuing of them before buying screen. Like someone else said, use one for salvage if it is dirt cheap

If you're looking for a motherboard you can pick up cheap as-is nexus 7's on eBay all day. I bought one with a broken screen that 100% works. The crack is at the top near the camera and does not extend into the screen. I got it for less than $50. I know how lucky I got, I feel like I won the lottery.
You can get them as low as $30. Not bad to use the motherboard or even spare battery. Even the back case is worth that almost.

Yeah, I caught that. Only two on Ebay when I looked. $31.00 and 9.90. So definitely the route I'll be going.
Nexus 7 screen cracked
My nexus 7 32gb screen has cracked & I was wondering if any other screen would fit or does it need
To be an original cos of the digitiser?
I have not found the part I need for mine, boo! I need a usb slot for the damn thing, my son was playing with it and left it on the floor, little to no surprise, he was excited and walked away, came back and stepped on the cord part charging it, so now it wont charge.. the internal usb is all screwed up, its just on a little board that looks like its easy enough to replace once you get the board to replace it with.
@hazard1nc: Here ya go, seems to be a really good shop for replacement parts.
I'm going to buy a new mainboard and speaker for mine there
http://stores.ebay.com/Positive-Dreams-Electronics/
There are some usb/audio replacement boards, I think that's the one you want
Still wondering, why the usb/audio boards are so expensive, but this is normal, didn't find a cheaper one yet.
I know sgs3 has a 2 years manufactured warranty, what about the nexus 4 ?

In the EU they have to offer a 2yr warranty, it's the law. I don't know about elsewhere.
The 2 Year thing in the EU is between the buyer and the seller not the manufacturer , not a big difference but still ...

nope, not in France, I buyed from orange a sgs2, now I can go anyxwhere to repair it within the 2 years warranty
Same in the UK. If my Nexus 7 breaks (Non user-damage) in 18 months and they can't replace it or fix it, the seller has to refund me. Then I'll get the Nexus 7-2. :L

Here is what the Google play website says:
Nexus 4 limited warranty
The Nexus 4 is manufactured by LG. LG provides a limited 12 month warranty for the Nexus 4. Please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 4 packaging for additional details.
If your Nexus 4 was purchased from Google Play, please contact Google customer support for service on the LG limited 12 month warranty.
If your Nexus 4 wasn't purchased from Google Play or you're looking for out of warranty repair service, please contact LG directly.
What about the warranty when changing the battery? Usually you cant just open the phone without losing your warranty but the n4 seems to be opened easily with the 2 torx screws
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I would not say easily as from the reviews I have heard you have to work it to get it open after the screws out and run the risk of breaking the tabs and or the glass.
hey guys,
my nexus 7's screen broke
it's unresponsive as well which means my digitizer (as well as my lcd screen) need to be replaced.
any one know where I can get them both?

Buying a replacement screen for a broken N7 can be a pain.
I replaced mine from a Chinese supplier with the same make/model. At the time $160 seemed expensive considering what I paid for my 16Gig N7.
Unfortunately, finding another for that price has become difficult. A lot of state-side suppliers have imported bunches and drove-up the price eBay. Alibaba is an alternative and you could probably find someone willing to sell you just one screen.
IMHO if you're fixing a 16 or 32Gig model, consider buying someone's used 8Gig N7. The screen is the same as your broken one and you could try reselling, donating or experimenting with the remaining innards.
