My plays flex cable bit the dust a few months ago but now I have successfully brought it back to life and it works just as good as ever!!
Ps. Installing the flex cable is not fun or easy lol for those who want to try. I broke the first flex cable I ordered doing it and had to order a second but now she works great! Prolly keep this as a secondary phone while im still in a rogers contract.

Another flex cable bites the dust. SE really went to town with the cheap components they used.
My PLAY will be out of warranty in about 4 months, thanks to the 2 year warranty in the uk, so I plan on opening and closing it several hundred times until it breaks so I can send it to the service centre to be fitted with a new one.
Its not the quality of the cable thats the problem it rubs against a metal peice everytime u open and close it. All they really had to do was put a plasitic protector over that metal peice lol. The stupid slide thing is riveted shut so I cant really do anything myself just keep throwing cables at it lol only 12 bucks on ebay

Hey can you link me where to get that flex cable? Mine went bad yesterday. Do you by chance have a guide or any pointers to change the cable as well? Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
They're on ebay all the time. Mine wore out but it was under warranty, they sent me a new phone as a replacement. I had already moved on to a modern Android phone so my brand new PLAY is still in a box. I like to take it out and look at it sometimes.

Hello all,
I have a power button issue again. HTC fixed it once on warranty! Now I'm out of warranty. I have looked online found some good prices but most companies are in Hong Kong! Anyone have a good place to get parts? Thx in advance

Do you mins sharing your parts finds with me as i am in the same boat
Thanks
this is what i have found so far not sure of the quility of the parts
"http://www.htcrepairparts.com/" the flex cable has the bower button on it. Flex Cable for HTC Nexus One 59.99 is not a bad price but its in hong kong so it will take 6 weeks for me to recieve it. i was hoping someone here could give be a company in the states.
too bad they don't have any replacement trackballs.
the one's I've ordered from other sites have been really dark and discolored.
The trackball from a blackberry such as the old curve or Pearl ie. 8320 or 8120 is the same trackball as the nexus you can pick them up for free at a t-mobile corporate store if they have them in stock. I got two from the store I work at and replaced mine and have another for future replacement.

Sorry for the bump, but my LED flash just died, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere...I know it's its own little module, but I've only seen it packaged together with the flex cable assembly (considering emailing the htcrepairparts website folks and asking if they somehow sell it separately). Anyone have any ideas?

If you go to a local repair shop they ll fix it for around 50
I have a dead mt4g with a bad eemc (confirmed) that is out of warranty, due to my self repair of the digitizer twice. I've replaced the phone already.
The back cover is clean, the chrome is a little worn, and the LCD and digitizer are good. All buttons are good. The eemc died Monday after a mass cleanup on the phone and the phone won't turn on, and when on USB, asks for a QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I'm asking all in one, as I don't really want to rip the phone apart again. Email in my profile.

I think hes talking about the chargerport
I think I broke the USB charging port because tablet won't charge. I gave back to PC world and they said they will give to Asus to look at. Do you think they will fix it under warranty. Also I had custom ROM on it, but it won't turn on because battery is dead

Phone is cracked on front and back what're my options here?
send it in to LG for repair... i know when my screen cracked it cost $140 to repair, i'm unsure as to what the cost would be to repair the back as well.
alternatively you can buy the glass itself and replace it yourself but in my case it was cheaper to just have lg fix it.

When this happened to me I just bought another one that had the opposite damage. You could probably get away with a water damaged phone if the digitizer isn't sensitive to a little h2o.
Is that all that's damaged?
Pictures? Did you fall on it or something, I mean, 185 lbs, lol...
Picture or it didn't happen :thumbup:

Lol yeah if 185lbs was dropped on it I feel like more than just glass was damaged.

get the front and back replaced rough estimate= 150+60=210 $ best of luck
well i took it in to get repaired.. the guy came out half way through the repair and said that they put a new screen in but that it wasn't responsive.. i'm thinking more than just the screen and back broke.. the guy said it was for sure their screen though.. he told me that they'd order a new one and have it done tomorrow.. hope it was actually a faulty screen...
Leave us an update. I got my pop corn nearby

So my camera broke. It was just the outside of the part, and the pictures didn't show a crack, but I still wanted to get it fixed. It turned out to be 50$ from one of the mall cell phone repair shops. Anyways he fixed it, but now my camera won't focus now. It tries, but then the thing goes red. Is this something he possibly did? Could it also be the rom I am now now? Like a bug?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Joe
I would think you got a defective camera if it's not working. Not too many things that I know of that would cause that issue if it was working fine before you replaced it unless you didn't make sure it was hooked up firmly.
Sounds defective. My friends did that. I ended up ordering the replacement camera for $20 on ebay. Next time consider replacing it yourself. It's very easy.

I might just see if I can get money back and do it myself if they don't cooperate, but how would I do this? What part would I need and what tools?

You'll need:
* Phillips #00 screw driver (I bought husky set at home depot for $5)
*guitar pick or plastic opening tool. Can also be bought on eBay.
Those are the tools I use.

I didn't follow a guide but watch this video. Its about how to take it apart. You'll have to only do the motherboard disconnection which is very simple
