Has anyone had any success ordering parts from cellularDR.com? I am in Australia and am trying to order the d-pad keyboard, and placed one order which was rejected due to apparent mismatch in my delivery details in paypal and credit card, then placed the order directly with my visa card and was told not to place anymore orders as they would not ship to Australia yet Australia is a valid choice. Is this online shop a scam? Each time they have refunded my money which is ok.. but really need to get this part as i stuffed mine up badly.

Hey man I ordered the d pad keyboard labeled exterior keyboard or something and got it super fast, fixxed my whitescreen. Then i took it apart to tighten slider and the keyboard stopped working and I tracked it down to the cable. SO when i ordered the keyboard I realized that the cellular dr shop was right down the street from me in glendale ca. so I was there today and bought a new cable, they have a nice store and offer lots of phone data services and repair. I am super happy with them cause my phone works!!

Can you do me one really big favour.. As I am in Australia it's a bit hard for me to walk down to the store. Can you go ask them why the won't ship to Australia ?? Even though they offer it on their website they have told me they will not ship to my location. And i'm not in any remote location. I'm in the capital city. I can't find this part anywhere else unless i take the risk and buy a used phone.
Anyway thanks for letting me know they exist. At least i know now that they pick and choose who they want to sell to.
halloo..

The Green call key on my TyTN front board is getting a bit dodgy....i took the device apart following the images Mikechannon showed me and it was fairly strightforward.
I think il probably need a new front board (just the bottom board for the front keys) at some point which is dead easy to remove and replace.
Spares
I found and I buy some spares like the batery cover in Ebay the model in US is 8525
owh, ok thx..

Hey, a few weeks ago i brought a wizzard (branded o2) from ebay, was in real good condition with all orginal box and cables.
However i dropped it and now the power button doesn't work, i've been told it's an easy fix but not one i am prepared to do.
How much would anyone be willing to offer me for it ? i would do business through ebay if anyone is interested.

-rastlin
Was thinking somewhere in the region of £50 (about $100) it comes with 2 batteries, USB cables, and original packaging. the case and screen is in realy good condition.
A 10 minute job with a soldering iron and it will be 100% working
anyone else give me an estimate of how much it's worth for spares? or should i just repair it then sell it?
thanks
Hello everyone, I'm in need of guidance as to how to repair the charge slot in the T-Mobile MDA phone. I have no idea what has gone on, but the charge slot (bottom of the phone, slot for phone charger connector to charge) has came loose, to the point I can rotate it if I use a small clip. I cannot manage to properly connect the phone to the charger now, and it seems close to sliding out. Help?
Edit: The "slot" is a mini usb port slot.
Hi, Infinty M. My similar unit seems to be dead too but let me try to help you with your problem.
I have no experience yet in repairing a MDA but the mini USB port of a friend's Xda mini I did get to repair before. His problem was very much like yours - the soldering got loose already after serious usage. What I did was to replace instead the said problem with a new one as the old one already had some rust outside.
Thanks, I contacted a repair shop on the issue, and received a price estimate of 55-65 dollars to repair. Is this a price fair enough?

Somewhat steep for a 10 minute solder job on a four year old phone.....if you went to a local high school around your area of residence you might be able to have one of the technical/electrical teachers fix it....or maybe a technical college.....just an idea...
Has anyone have problem with warranty service, since I have sent my phone for repair over 3 weeks now, haven't had received my phone back yet and customer service runs me in circle with incorrect answers.
communication is a problem but they eventually get it done.
Thanks for reply, yes you were right on that, I finally got my replacement phone back.

I hate to break it to you, but... LeEco is dead in the USA and elsewhere. You won't be able to contact them at all. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy even in China.

You only hope is contacting the vendor that you bought it from and pursue them for the guaranteed 1 yr warranty exchange or service. I did this recently with Mailstop.
Just a few days ago , I read that these phones are selling extremely well. The problem is that they lost face in China and investors avoid them like the plague. Although Letv did pay off $15 million in debt just a few days ago. Next, they filed partial bankruptcy in China...not full. So who knows?
Good Luck,
FYI There are parts available and services available ( In India, Russian and Italy) that may be able to repair the phone if you can't get it exchanged.

Before you consider exchange, try another usb cable, most of the time simply getting another cable is all you need to do.
Yes, Amazon/MailStop replaced the phone with a brand new one.
Mine came with faulty usb cable that fried the usb card. Unfortunately this has happened on many Leeco phones, and it happens on many phones that never had any other OS installed other than the stock EUI.
I believe Amazon has changed their cell phone return policy. But, it they advertised the warranty when you bought the phone they will honor the warranty. Just call Amazon, be polite, explain that the phone will no longer charge, probably due to a faulty usb cable or low quality battery.
They will create a case, where they contact the vendor and give the vendor 2 days to reach you. Mail-stop responds quickly by sending a shipping label. Return the phone in the box in came in with everything that came with the phone, headphones, CDLA adapter etc.
They will send a brand new phone in exchange.
Worst case, if you cannot get a warranty exchange for some reason. Just buy another battery on eBay X720 and X727 have cross compatible parts.

My phone has always been stock emu. At first I had to restart phone or turn off to charge. Then a day later the port got hot and smoked and the connector was melted in the charging port. Luckily I was nearby. After removing the connector from the port with a pair of channel locks the phone worked just fine. I foolishly tried to charge again and burned another cord up. The phone still functions fine but port is dangerous and destroyed.

Hi Community,
I tried as hard as I could but at this point I've basically given up.
The Problem:
Phone USB-C Port was damaged while charging overnight (Bad LeEco Cable). Over months with a few shipments from aliexpress I tried to repair it, damaged the screen during the process etc etc...
I changed the USB-Board as well as the damaged battery, sadly it's still broken. If I plug it in nothing happens, no detection or anything, charging works though! I unpluged the data line on the flex cable and the behaviour is absolutely the same. This leads me to the conclusion that the power line is ok but the data flex cable or something on the motherboard is "fu**ed". I also tried an EDL Cable as well as an USB Stick. The USB Stick gets powered but not detected by TWRP which is luckily still installed.
Is there any way to safe this phone or into the trash it goes? Thanks in advance to the community, I've been an avid reader for the past couple years and the solutions always suprise me
tl;dr Charging works, data not so much, any way to get something on this phone?
BTW: I don't want to buy a Jtag Box or something else that is 1 time use and 20$+
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi
Never give up, always there are solutions just you need to find it!
And yeah, you're right the cheap quality original leeco cable made this big problem as You say.
We already talked about this problem, because my phone's port was burned as well, but I could repair it, with an original USB flex board.. So now my phone stayed alive and he is just like the original one
I think won't be good the cheap fake Usb boards from aliexpress.. etc.
You need only the factory version!
Please check these topics, I have written there the solutions!

Thank you very much! I hope there really is a difference between the boards you can get from aliexpress and the one you get from taobao. Gonna order tomorrow and then wait :highfive::good:
Would be pure bliss if I can get this phone to work again.
Edit: Could you post the Taobao Link? You listed what to do, but not which products to buy, would reduce the risk to buy bad stuff again, thanks in advance

Your issue could be the motherboard.
Absolutely those factory cables are garbage, we had two Leeco destroyed by bad cables in my house. Fortunately, they were under Amazon's warranty and they were replaced with new phones.
Currently I also have a critical issue also, where my phone will start in fastboot, but will shut down when attempting to boot to the system or recovery.
To make matters worse, I could only find used motherboards priced on the average of $150 which is way too high when you can find a complete X720 on Aliexpress for about the same price :
As far as getting your data, can you boot to fastboot, if so you may be able to copy the data from the phone and then erase storage using adb. For example, adb pull <path-of-the-file> or : adb pull sdcard/ ( this should work)
As far as the issue about you phone, something that you flashed may have damaged the board. Last week several people had damage as the result of flashing a Rom that didn't have thermals ( it was an accident / Oversight)
Another option, if you are like me and cash is tight. Xiaomi has several quality phones for around $200 and the specs are excellent. Phones such as the A2, Note 6 Pro, or check this out ( Then google Snapdragon 636 vs 821 )
I hope something here helps you.

Hi
Sorry for the late answer, but I was very busy in this week!
.
So You can buy the original board from Taobao but only through Yoybuy. You can buy lots of factory parts for the phone or any other gadgets as well of course. Just you have to use the taobao's item link.
Here you can find what I I bought. This is 100% original board!
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=563268285618
It was only 14$+ 7$ was the yoybuy service fee. The shipping cost depends of the shipping version.
The whole shipping after my payment was about 2 weeks to hungary!
Good luck!

Yes of course it is quite simple, just you have to write it on TAOBAO 'X720 mother board' to the search bar.

While what this website is selling is hard to determine for an English speaker. What they are selling is board repair at a super low price. Frankly, I don't understand how they make money.
But here is an option for you. I too have an old phone with a fried board, so I will research this place further and probably will mail my board to them for repair.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...GLVYx&scm=1007.13066.127260.0&id=559560190173
By the way, you have to create a account to view pricing and there is an option to change the site to whatever language you prefer. Basically with the cost of transport included it seems that we can have our motherboards repaired for under $20.

I have no idea, as I am not there with you and I don't know what steps you took to ground yourself prior to changing out the board, if you were sent the wrong board then you should contact TaoBao for a refund. They have a return policy similar to other large online vendors.
Is it possible, that you received the wrong board, or that you shorted out the board by accident? If it didn't look identical to the board that you replaced then it obviously would not be compatible. If the board was in fact a correct working board, your issue could be something else such as the usb card, the connection to the usb port, or shorted flex cables. ( I assume that you tried alternate usb cables?
To be clear the link I provided was intended for on site repair, not the sale of a motherboard for sale. (repairing the board that you already own)
For example, If you have broken solder connections, you would pay a small deposit and ship the the phone to the advertised repair shop, for them to repair, by fully reballing the board.
There have been users that were able to get their phones back in working order for under $40
Finally if you are hearing a buzzing noise then you have a burned capacitor which should be an easy and cheap fix for a shop that has the tools and can repair at the component level.
Edit
The price of these phones have recently dramatically dropped Here you can find a new 4GB/64GB X720 for $140
You can replace the usb board yourself. Hardest part is removing the screen. You need a heat gun for that. And double sided 3m tape to reattach.
The actual board only costs $5.
Amazing that a 400 phone will be rendered useless by a $5 part.
Hey guys it's me again, I didn't know what to do and the phone was just flying around collecting dust. But I found a seller that apparently stocks original USB Boards. The ones you could get so far were missing components that are required for OTG etc.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...833.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.71874c4dOUgL1P
It's 13$ but well, better than a wrecked phone. Now I can also solder quite well, sad I threw away my original board otherwise I could have transplanted the missing IC circuitry. This wasn't a problem I thought that would happen. "Missing" components on a board never happend to me and "a**hat" move to sell boards without saying that it's only good for charging...
This is the part I bought off eBay.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/192576662284
The only soldering necessary was that it didn't come with the speaker so had to remove it from the old bad board and solder it to the new one.
Phone has been back to functional since. I had to replace battery as well because I think the heat gun damaged it. That was about $17

Is OTG working since the compontens of the product you send are also missing on the photo.
Did you want me to attach an otg adapter to my phone to see if it could access the storage?
Or did you want me to connect my phone to a computer via usb-c cable to see if it could be accessed by the computer?
FYI, here's pictures of the old board from my x727 for reference

Here's my comparison between an old Aliexpress board I ordered and the new one with all the necessary IC components on it. Quite the difference...
How much was the new board? Not knowing really if it would work or not, I just ordered the cheaper 5$ board.
