[Q] Best vendor for OEM parts? - Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I need to replace a screen/digitizer for a Sprint HTC 10 and was wandering if anyone could suggest a supplier of genuine HTC parts. A google search turns up a lot of vendors, but no way to tell if they sell OEM or not.

can't really help, but I am in the same boat. Replaced my digitizer with an ebay one and it kinda sucks. Looking for a more responsive one. I am guessing everything you buy will be made in the same factory and sold under different names/ places. Can't imagine there are a lot of places making HTC10 screens right now.

HTC Touch probably NOT original

I have been offered to buy a HTC Touch, but I am not shure if it's original HTC. Do you know anything if its exists a replica of this phone? I will post here some pictures of this unit. Please tell me if, it's an original HTC, so I can decide to buy it or not. Many thanks ahead!
It may be fake - I can't see external antenna connector above camera.
fake
yes its seems to be fake touch there our many fakes out there from china honkong you have companies that almost make any htc phone a copy of stick to the real thing

no HTC logo on front or back
made in china
i guess it's fake
It's probably an OEM one.
I believe they are manufactured by HTC themselves but are branded as a Dopod S1, i have one (though mine has got HTC logos on it) and it works exactly the same as a branded HTC touch. It still has touchflo and wifi and everything is exactly the same it is just a fraction of the price They are awesome value in my opinion, i paid $296 AUD for mine.
Not seeing an HTC logo, or the internal antenna attachment both seem fishy to me, same goes for the little big thats beside the CE logo on the body of the phone as my Touch doesn't have that.
Usually the failsafe way to check if its fake or not is to see if you can get the phone into bootloader.
maybe
maybe they just changed the external case (probably it was scratched) with a cheap chinese one?

Call HTC and verify the S/N and IMEI shown in the pictures is genuine.
Ahh one of the China replica's
1st: no antenna connector
2nd: You can see the green color from the PCB beneath the battery
fake! 100% sure!
Thank you all for hellping me solve my doubts! Finally I decided to not to buy this phone. Anyway his price was $200 and was brand new. When I told him that is NOT an ORIGINAL HTC, he didn't wanted to convince me MAny thanks again for helping me!
less than $100 in Shenzhen, China
you can buy this replica on the street.
I must say it is a very good replica, and it works, but it is not the same....
try entering bootloader... impossible... there's not bootloader menu, you can enter a kind of bootloader menu for SD only, pressing volume up and reset at the same time... I think it runs windows CE.
Good you didnot buy it !00% fake even the box is very different from original htc one

Any HD2 spares sellers out there?

Hi all,
I have to admit I have a sneaky feeling this should not be here but I'm not sure where to put it... It's not strictly a accessory but anyway, if it is wrong, please do advise.
I'm after anyone here who has or knows of a someone that sells HD2 spares?
I obtained two screen repair HD2s - both have been tampered with previously and while the units both work fine, the front keypad ribbon is broken in two so the keys are not responding.
I have managed to source 2 LCD's but without these buttons, I'm lumbered with two units and two brand new LCD units.
Appreciate any help on this!
Thanks,
Akash

Not sure if this is much help but I did recall seeing a guy on Craigslist in Toronto selling an HD2 in mint condition except for the fact that the glass screen looked like it took a bullet. The LCD was perfect underneath and no scratches anywhere. Not quite sure how someone can do that to it and keep in mint at the same time but anyway it was posted in April and they were asking for around $300 CAN.
Thanks for that suggestion
I have actually been looking around Ebay UK (Where I am) for faulty HD2s but no one will sell them cheaply so...
Bit the bullet and requested a return on the LCD - the seller will refund me the full value back. Just wish I could get these parts as the rest of the unit is mint and given that I've already stripped the screen off (not the easiest task!), it would have been great just to put it back together in a working state.
Thanks again and if anyone does have any other suggestions in getting hold of the keypad, I would appreciate a quick note on it

HELP: Samsung 10.1 Tab WIFI parts

Guys/Gals
Does anyone here know how I can purchase spare internal parts for the Galaxy Tab 10.1? I had one given to me which was quite badly damaged and I have managed to resurrect most of it. I have a new LCD, digitizer, main board, rear housing etc but missing a specific ribbon cable and front housing/mould to take the LCD and digi.
If anyone can help me source the relevent bits and at reasonable cost, I would be VERY grateful.
I am in the UK so approved repair centers, vendor refurbs in this region would be better.
Thanks all.

sorry no one has answered. There have to be places, but I don't have any good ideas really either. Maybe damaged ones off ebay you can canibalize?
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

Tried eBay no luck yet. It seems even ANovo can't help me and they're the only ones who repair the tablets in the UK. I'm stuffed.
It sucks if repair centers wont sell parts, I guess you're right.

Best Source For Replacement Screen/Digitizer?

Hi All,
One of my family members broke their Nexus 4; tripped and fell and threw the phone across the pavement... cracked front screen and no touch response. Thus, I need to find a replacement screen and digitizer with front housing. Does anyone know of a good place to an original part besides etradesupply (they have been out of stock for a while)?
Thanks,
Joe
Why not sell it on ebay for spares or repair and get another one with the proceeds (new or secondhand)? Thereby neatly side-stepping the problem by giving it to others!
I don't know how much I could sell it for. I think replacing the screen would still end up cheaper than buying a new one. Anyone know a reputable ebay seller?

eBay replacement screen quality

Hello all,
My S4 was dropped and the glass, LCD and digitizer is broken (everything else still works though. I can touch the bottom panel and buttons, sound works, I can ADB and connect via teamviewer, receive calls...etc)
I want to get a new frame,LCD,Digitizer (they have sets made up already) from eBay (probably from China), however, I am concerned about the quality of such a replacement.
The quality of the OEM LCD is quite nice, and I worry that a replacement will be sub-standard.
Moreso, the OEM digitizer is quite advanced (because of airview, which allows a user to hover their finger over the screen to show previews, etc), and I worry that this feature may not work in a cheap replacement from eBay.
Has anyone had any issues ordering replacements off eBay or found any issues with the quality of their replacements?
Thanks, all!
I'd suggest looking at the ratings the seller has. That generally gives a good ideea if he sells crap or not.
If you really need those features to work, I would say you try to find a genuine one from a trusted online dealer.

Thanks. That is good advice.
I was hoping that someone with experience could answer, though. Anyone?
Look for a seller with Positive feedback more than 90%. Also look if he has sold same product before. So that you can look ratings in his feedback.
That's the best way to know about eBay sellers. I've bought nearly 10 replacement displays for various devices (as I am expert in fixing these)
iFixit site has spares as well but they are too costly!
