This poor N1

Got this thing in at work today. It was an AT&T version. Scavenged the speaker for a coworker and LED board for a spare. but holy hell, this thing had a rough life. looks like it was roughly taken apart before I got to it. Makes me kind it sad. :-(

MURDER!!!! Why would anyone do such a poor thing to such a helpless device?

How did you get it?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

the people that butcher these things can suck it imo.

imo we should have pulled the display just for S's&G's...

Is that huge piece of copper part of the flex circuit, or just a heat spreader under the battery?

Are you selling any parts? If that AMOLED/Digitizer is still apart (never been replaced/pulled apart) im willing to buy it.
I replaced mine, and the screen keeps getting dust under it. Once the digitizer is replaced, it's hard to keep dust from getting under it.

Both myself and crusher work for a used electronics reseller... its already on ebay... its broken though so you might be able to get it for cheap. The bids start @ $1
And no the diaplay/digitizer havent been separated.

Pm me the ebay link please.

me too please, I want the housing

Wow that was a powerful hack, what rom did you flash? Did you even do a nandroid backup before flashing? What recovery did you use?

I can PM you the eBay listing once it actually goes active. Don't really think there is anything usable from it. Whoever sent it in DESTROYED it.

Pretty much everything. Most of the ribbon connectors were messed up, all of the mounting screws and hardware were gone, wouldn't charge or power on, and it was just generally beat to hell.

LCD Damaged? In need of serious help. With Picture!

Hello. I can't seem to figure out if my LCD is damaged or other component is causing this.
The basic story is I've purchased a phone from craigslist- he claims that before the update to 2.3.3 the phone was fine but afterward, the screen became all 'negative' and keep rebooting.
Well with the custom rom, I managed to stop the phone from rebooting but the display is.. well bit weird. Let the photo do the illustrations:

As you can see some when I enter setting, the display is ok but in other times the colors all become negative (if you taken a negative shot in camera you'll know what I mean.) Even the homescreen/ market and about 90% of apps show in negative.
Have anyone experienced this?

Have u tried using flashtool to get back onto stock SE 2.3.3 and see if it still happens?

Have u taken this to a service shop?

Hello. I've forgot to mention- Yes I flashed 2.1 and 2.3.3 with no luck.
Now I am at Free Xperia 2.3

No not all- I am reluctant to order a LCD from ebay as I can't figure whether this is LCD problem or motherboard-related problem.
If anyone can point me to right direction, that would be a tremendous help.

Do you reckon it's the LCD causing the problem or motherboard?

If flashing different roms hasn't worked for you, then it's leaning towards hardware issues. You could try check it up with a repair store to see what the problem is before buying the parts because you can't be too sure it's LCD or other components.

GREEN is missing,try to paste a green sheet of paper over the screen,it should correct the colors,will cost nothing

If u are going to repair it and spend a bit of money just send it in.

Well.. the LCD only costs $30 US. And replacing LCD doesn't seem tough to do either. Maybe I'll bit the bullet and take the risk.
In meantime anyone else have suggestion? Feel free to reply them here.

ok, well this might help, heres a guide on how to disassembly your x10 http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/05/10/xperia-x10-disassembly-guide/
good luck

As above, simply taking it apart and reseating the connections might fix it.
Otherwise, enter the service menu for the X10. It has a screen test, which displays plain green/red/etc colours. You can test this way. In a hurry, link is somewhere here...

Thin Pink Line - LCD broken?

My phone has developed a thin pink line running down the screen.
I have been on holiday on an island with no phone reception for a week so I didn't take the phone, so it's been at home without being touched.
Then I get back today, play around with it for only a few hours then this happens! It seemed to come on after a reboot.
At first I thought it was because I was playing with build.prop, but after restoring a backup it was still there. It's also there on the splash screen and in recovery, AND it's in the same position when I rotate my phone, so I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue.
The point of the island story is because I was wondering if a rapid change in temperature could have something to do with it? The phone has been very cold for the week of no usage, but has been getting hot today obviously after charging and playing with it
Does anyone know what could have caused it?
And is there any way to fix it? Or should I just start looking at prices for the galaxy nexus...

I am afraid you might have to send it to hTC for LCD repair.

nevermind, wrong section

Yup. This will have to go to HTC repairs.
I see you're rooted and have BlackIce ROM installed. I'd suggest flashing Stock RUU before sending it to them. (Warranty issues)
Cause of the problem : Maybe the temperature difference, although such problems are very hard to pinpoint. Even a minor speck or particle on the circuit board can wreck havoc at times.. I've had a PC monitor gone bad due to an ant crawling inside the system. :\

Just eBay a new digitizer/LCD for DHD comes as one unit for about 40 quid ! You tube has a video on how to strip down the DHD,not a lot too it. It saved me a small fortune, some phone shop was trying to charge me 120 pounds !!!!

mate awesome idea, but i've had a look at a youtube video and it looks pretty full on. i'll have a think about it.
a phone repair place i called quoted me over $100 as well, but maybe it's worth it in case i completely screw something up!

Why even bother with repairing it yourself.
1. Why give yourself the hassle?
2. Why go to that expense?
All HTC phones have a 2 yr warranty get a stock rom on it, get it s on'd and get it sent back.
I've sent a few phones back to HTC and one of them was a HD2 with the same issue and the turn around and service was top notch

I'm afraid that my phone only had a 1 year warranty, and this happened in the 13th month of it's life I had a long discussion with HTC about their responsibility to make sure their hardware survives for a reasonable length of time, and could they extend the warranty, but they weren't interested. So I took it to a 3rd party repair place and they fixed it up for me for $110. It's worth it in the end, the phone will sell for more than that when I upgrade to my next phone.
Thanks for all of the replies everyone!

Hi. Did it turn out to be a hardware issue or did it just need a new screen. I have the same problem on my i9505 and am intending on buying a new screen.

Thank you. Very much appreciated I will order one now.

I'm sorry, I have to brag about this

I just struck gold.
So, I recently bought an as is transformer on ebay for about $150. I really wanted the parts from it to repair a TF. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was there was not a scratch on there. The thing looks like new. The serial was a b50. After I charged it, I decided to turn it on and saw that it went right into apx mode.
So, I nvflashed it. OMG, it works! It's working flawlessly. I even restarted it several times to make sure it wasn't in apx bootloop.
Apparently, someone bricked it, thought it was dead, and sold it for parts.
Just thought I'd share

lol congrats bro, thats always good

Nice find.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Damn you made out like a bandit.
So what are you going to do now? Salvage it for parts anyway, use it? Sell it? I'd sell it and get another tablet so I'd have two different tablets. I'd even put that money towards an iPad 2 or an iPad 3 just because I want to try an iPad.

Love those days..

Actually, the seller said he got it from someone else. So, this thing has gotten passed around to a few people before it got on ebay. Impossible to find the original owner, I guess.
And why in the world would this thread get a 1 star? Who the hell gave me the 1 star? It's not like I'm scamming anyone.

I know. This was just an extreme luck thing. We all here knows that apx mode looks like the thing is bricked. A tablet can go into apx mode automatically if there's something wrong with the bootup. Most people out there don't know what apx is. So, I'm assuming someone thought he couldn't turn this thing on and so went ahead and sold it to some shop which ended up putting this tab on ebay.

Great find!!!

So...... Ill start the bidding for it at $200.

Probably some one who's jealous or could be the the Ebay seller.

Thats fantastic luck! congrats to you!

My device has appeared to be bricked a few times, doesn't boot up, connect to PC and its not going into apx mode but tablet is still warm so something is running. had to wait for the battery to completely deplete before it would turn back on with screen working. Only happened with one certain custom ROM though.
Good thing I had patience to wait it out or I could have been that sucker to sell it on e-bay! Congrats.

That's awesome! I used to scour craigslist and ebay for "bricked" devices and 9/10 times they're repairable.
Maybe it was the seller that rated the thread 1 star? haha

it just amazes me that with ALL the info available on the tf1 that they couldn't figure that out. serves em right if ya ask me! congrats my man!

You are a lucky man! Did the person post a picture of the device? It would probably be safe to assume, that if a seller posts pictures of a pretty good looking tablet and selling it for parts, it's more than likely bricked. However, the chance of getting that lucky is probably slim

WTF ATT!!

So I got my phone today and low and behold I have some serious (at least to me) blemishes and scratches on the back. Some pics below. I know they may not seem too bad but come on, this is a brand new phone, and unexceptable if you ask me. So I actually go to my nearby ATT store to see if they have stock already so they can swap it out and they don't have any yet. You could see it in the eyes of the workers that they hadn't seen one yet. Borderline oogling over it.
Anyways, they say call ATT and they'll send me another. I call and low and behold they CAN send me a replacement (not overnight mind you, I'd have to pay for that), but as I had to remind them, there is a backorder for it so they couldn't tell me when I'd get it. All this time I wouldn't be able to activate the phone. I say screw it, I'll keep it but you gotta give me something here. All they can do open a customer credit report and see if it goes through. Suffice it to say.....I'm pissed.

Yeah this is a total case of WTF. Must have happened in the flashing process when they added all their carrier crap.

Wow. Was it shipped in bag full of rocks?

Thats how mine is from GPlay! Not as bad as yours but the same type of marks.... Seems like it was slid around and there was a bunch of dust/debris in the box on the phone.. I called them up right after I saw and they were gonna set me up with a new replacement but there is a problem with there system with that apparently...:roll eyes: So I have to wait for them to fix that then get in contact with me to set up the replacement... Im using this one in a case in the mean time but it definitely shouldn't fly to get one that looks this way!

Looks like someone was skate boarding on it before shipping. Lol I would return it. There is no fu#king way I pay over $700 for a screwed up phone.

Probably happened while they were tattooing that sweetass globe on the bottom. Well worth the sacrifice, IMO.

Motorola QC issue.

I was at my tmobile store when they unboxed their demo unit and it had the same nonsense. We considered that maybe they just purposely sent the ****ty ones to stores for demo purposes. Hope this is not a widespread issue

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

I think it has some room to move because there doesn't seem to be anything keeping it in place or anything protective it has to sit on. Its just sitting on indent of the phone with the documentation. I think it happened during shipping possibly especially if it was man handled it could bounce around and scuff up but idk? i don't see how sliding on cardboard could cause marks like that.
Im also still waiting on Gplay to reply and fix there system to get me a new replacement...

Did you have any issues getting AT&T to initiate the return? This is ridiculous, mine has this too.

AT&T wouldn't have done it themselves, just semantically speaking.
They would have made a deal with the OEM (Motorola) to make the modifications on their behalf before packaging.
Not defending AT&T or anything, of course.
