Next can you use punctuation, it makes it a lot easier to read!
I would expect (maybe) $140 (£65~) to $180 (£110~)
But the prices in the usa may differ from me just converting the prices!
Go on eBay and put some g1s similar to yours, on your watching list and see what they go for.
Hope this helps!

Thanks dude yea i know BIG difference overseas $$$ LOL
BTW I HAVE PICS OF EVERYTHING FOR THOSE INTERESTED I CAN EMAIL

AT&T Unlocked Tilt For Sale - 200 US Shipped Firm

Hi. Sorry if this is an unapproved post. I have searched for "Sell, Selling" and nothing came up in the forum so hopefully this is okay!
I have upgraded to the AT&T Fuze so I am ready to sell my Tilt!
Contents:
ATT Tilt (Screen protector on [not the sticky kind] and stylus)
Charger and Connection Cable
2 Gig Micro SD Card (Maybe 4 gig depends if I can find my 2 gig or not)
Docking Station with the ability to charge an extra battery (search Amazon)
The phone itself is in great condition. ~1 year old and had screen protector on it from the first month.
Currently running eOS latest ROM, but I can flash any ROM the buyer wants. If no request, I will flash Dutty's Apr 29 one since it is loaded and eOS is naked.
If you need pics, have questions, or whatever, post here or contact me! I'm sure some of you know the phone better then I do! heh

New Motherboard

Hi,
Does anyone know were I can buy a NEW mother board for my tilt?
Regards
Mat
i would say, it's time to buy a new phone for you. sell the rest of it you may still get $50 - $100 for parts
new mobo is just not worth it with kaiser
I thought someone would tell me that.
The big question is what do I go for Touch Pro 2?
If you want to.

A google Nexus or an Iphone 4g is what I would go for.
If you really want to fix it...
Find one on ebay with a Cracked Screen..
Just found a company that will fit a new USB socket £35 ($60)
That looks the best way to go

the connector is all that's wrong with it????
did you rip it off or is still in place just not usable?
if it's ripped off, it might be that it took piece of circuit with it, but why worry, just get a battery charger with another battery for $10 together and you don't need the connector.
I disabled connector on my kaiser, by trying to reset it, while I was angry and forcefully pushing pen into connector instead of reset button could have been fixed, but I never bothered.
I wouldn't spend $60 on an almost 3 year old phone.

G1 motherboard

My old thread about a bricked G1 is not getting any new replies and I need an urgent answer. So I have a hard bricked G1 - no recovery nothing and I need to know if replacing the motherboard with this one < http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Dream-Mothe...d=ViewItem&pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3caee067e9 > would solve the problem for sure. Thanks in advance

Maybe.
If you don't mind facing a ***VERY*** high chance of getting ripped off by someone selling you THEIR bricked mainboard.
If you want a surefire way to fix it, I suggest you read everything in this thread before going out and getting yourself ripped off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048
yeah it can be risky..i fixed my friends by replacing it with one i found on craigslist for like 40 bucks. It turned on but had an unresponsive touch screen but from the looks of the housing, it seemed like they tried to change it which may have been the reason. Luckily there was nothing wrong with the motherboard and it worked.
Buy a j-tag and un-brick your current board.
As linked above by lbcoder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048
No no
Thanks everyone for your replies. The board I'm buying is good, it's new not from another phone, I just wanted to make sure that it's the motherboard that needs to be changed not some other piece like the daughter-board or whatever.
It's definitely the motherboard if you're hard bricked. If it's not too late, I'd suggest trying craigslist or something along those lines. You might find a phone with a cracked screen for around the same price as the motherboard. Extra pieces and a nifty little battery charger that resembles a working G1.
..
I'm from romania, there's nothing on craig's list. Thanks for assuring me that it's the motherboard.

Dropped captivate, screen had purple spots, then black :(

Hello
I recently dropped my Samsung Captivate. First time it had purple spots on the screen in 1 day the whole screen went purple and the next day the whole screen went black The sensor and everything else is working.
How do you think, what may be the issue of this? is the screen completely screwed or there may be another, less important damage.

My guess is that you'll have to replace the digitaliser. You can do it yourself or contact mobiletechvideos.com for the job.
If you have any experience in it though, you can try opening your phone and see if anything isn't correctly connected.

did you mean the whole lcd?
Pretty sure it would be easier to replace the digitizer + screen, since I think they're glued together on the captivate? (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's about $75. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Cap...izer-i896-AT-T-Galaxy-S-Display-/160787040070

Yeah, I'd like to grab a spare if they are sitting that cheap now.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
As far as I've seen, the cheapest I got mine was $80. Bad idea, too many issues, wasted money. Buying anywhere but swappa they're about 150$+. Swappa has one for $135 (hoping to buy that one actually, but either have to wait a week and hope someone doesn't buy it, or sell my pantech crossover faster so I have the money haha).

You just have to put "i897" or similar as an ebay saved search that notifies you when new products matching that description are posted.
I bought 1 cappy for $60 from ebay seller alltechwholesale, out of Texas I think. In my experience, they do a good job inspecting the phones first so you know what your going to get. In my experience and many others, the phone arrived in better condition than described....Then I picked up two more sold together on ebay for $70 that were listed as one bad digitizer and the other bad charge port. I got them as parts phones. The one with the "bad digitizer" ended up being just a bad search button because the screen lifted on that corner a little. A 50 cent tube of adhesive fixed that. Then the second of the two just had a dirty charge port and a squirt of crc electronics cleaner fixed it...Now I have a main phone, a backup flashed to be identical, and a media device!!
After taking this phone completely apart a few times it gets pretty easy to see it really is a mini computer and most of the major parts can be bought on ebay for decent prices and replaced fairly easy....The ribbons that connect the various parts can bend and break easily so that is something to keep in mind. I broke the ribbon for the headphone jack assembly but a little hunting on ebay and I had one on it's way for $1.50 after shipping lol.

Haha yes, I can relate to the mini computer aspect. Just spent my day repairing about 8 hp Touchsmarts, the cappy compared to that, is a dream lmao. Much less to deal with . I planned on using the cappy I have now as a spare part phone anyway, unless I can somehow get it to work. But I didn't know about the whole ebay thing. I shall do that now, thanks a TON :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Just checked alltechwholesale ebay store, SO MANY CAPPYS FOR SALE!!! All around the same price, seems they put it up for 0.99 and someone keeps jacking it up to $70 shortly after. My only thing -- I hate auctions . But great share and bookmarked

yeah, alltech is just auctions but I just took time to read conditions and saved a bunch and you'll find that they go for different prices depending on what's wrong and even depending on the day or time of day lol......That's why I suggested saving the search too. I use the ebay app and when there is new listings of my saved searches I get a notification so I go and look. If your quick, You can possibly snag a "buy it now" at a decent price depending on the condition your looking for. I really couldn't believe I ended up with 3 100% working phones and maybe I just got lucky, but I'd say it's worth a try lol.
I'd say it was a combination of good research, and amazing luck hahaha. But I do appreciate it a lot, thanks for the info, cheers

Sorry we kind of got off the subject, But for the digitizer try what Bwolf said about the connections.
Once when I was testing the power button I soldered on my old cappy I didn't get one of the ribbons all the way on (i believe it was the ribbon near the power button), and the screen flashed a few different colors.
There is at least one probably more youtube vids with pointers on how to get the cappy apart in a way that wont do damage.
I know there's a tare-down guide here, and there was a YouTube video where someone replaced the screen, if I can find it on my history I'll edit this post

i have checked and now i am sure, that the screen is broken. I live in a state, that is not supported by paypal and and where can i buy used captivate for parts with my credit card?
The only place I can think of would be ebay, if you can find a seller who accepts things other than paypal. Or you can try craigslist.
