hello everyone
I have bought a used Xperia Play that has a defective SD card reader and i cant seem to get a hold of the seller. everything is working except for the sd card reader. when i opened it up, I found out that the module is broken. I looked on Ebay and found what I need, only to discover that the seller doesnt ship to Canada. Does anyone know somewhere else I can get this item from?
here is the link: ebay.com/itm/OEM-SONY-ERICSSON-XPERIA-PLAY-MICRO-SD-CARD-PORT-PARTS-FIX-R800-USA-/130590488389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67ccb745#ht_895wt_932[/url]
thanks
That link seems to give a "page not found" error
Think he means this link. I just copied the Sony part all the way to the end.

Yes thats the one im talking about. Unfortunately he doesnt ship to canada, and he is the only person i found who sells it. If anyone knows where to get one like this, PLEASE tell me/us where to get it.
thanks in advance
May not be a solution for you, but if you happen to have a friend in the US, you could have him receive it then send it to you.
did you try messaging the seller and asking him if you paid the full price for shipping if he would make an exception?
man i'm wishing i lived in the US right now lol. Is there some kind of OEM parts website that sells it? I dont want to send it back to Sony because I know they'll charge me a mind boggling price. also BTW, when i plug in my headphones no sound comes from them, but the sound keeps coming out of the speakers. does anyone know anything about that?
thanks for the help

I've got the same issue. Some dumba$$ duped me into trading a brand-new mint condition Blackberry 9810 for a VG condition Xperia Play - which at the time seemed like a perfect trade to me because I wanted an Android device... and the gaming aspect was intriguing. Little did I know that the SD card was fubar, and this guy didn't bother to tell me. So of course, I test everything except the card slot, and when I try to contact him again after the deal was made - he's vanished. His last reply to me? "Move on, sorry"...
I need to find a way to fix this, or find someone who can fix this (I'm not overly good with my hands, especially not on smaller parts).
Any help anyone can give me, or if the OP found a solution, and could post it here, that would be great.
I'm in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area (which I believe the OP was as well - what does that say about the quality of the people trading phones around here?)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The weird thing is that almost exactly the same thing happened to me, except that I paid cash. Anyways, after about two months of searching on the net, I managed to fix the phone up. I kept looking online for just the SD Card Reader itself, but couldnt find anything at all. So, I had to go hunting for a damaged xperia so I can use parts out of it. After a lot of searching on kijiji, ebay, etc, I found one with a broken screen on kijiji in Niagara Falls, so I contacted the seller and had him ship it to me (I got lucky on that lol), and paid him via paypal. Then, I swapped the motherboards between my phone and the broken one because the sd card reader is sort of soldered onto the motherboard, and I have very twitchy hands, so I decided not to mess with anything and just swap the whole thing. After that, I sold the broken one (which has my old broken motherboard in it) on Ebay for parts. Anyways, the point is to buy another xperia with a broken screen or something and swap motherboards, and for that you need alot of patience because you can barely find any parts for the xperia play on the net. Or, just deal with what happened and sell your phone on ebay as is for parts. Good luck
Lol I actually live in Ottawa but I bought the device while I was visiting some relatives in Toronto, says a lot about the quality of people selling phones in toronto.
one last thing, if you're going to buy a broken phone for parts, make sure its GSM , not CDMA.
I wanted to know if its easy to repair the sd card module on the xperia play the one i have is a at&t model 4g yeah the sd slot doesnt detect my micro sd i have a bunch of working micro sd cards thats why i was asking does it clip off or does it require soldering
Hello everyone..
I was hoping someone could tell me if there are any fake or replica Galaxy S2's out there. I'm about to purchase a S2X (Telus version T-989D) from a shop in China Town.. I'm worried that it may be some sort of fake because of the price tag ($360 CAD).
So, are there any fake or replicas hovering around the market for this device? If so, how can I tell the difference?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to have a look at the phone on Wednesday, so would appreciate quick replies.
Thanks everyone for taking the time out to read this and thanks in advance for your responses.
Sincerely,
SH31KH
Hmm... i suggest you take a close look at display one at the telus or even a tmobile one at the retail store before purchasing. I have heard of prototypes of these phones looking similar but never a replica. Make sure you test it on site and ask for warranties.

I think this may be what you are looking for,

But honestly i'm at work and for some reason they felt the need to block "teamuscellular.com" so all I could see was the google cached version... but it looks like everyone over there is using your version of the phone. Also, it's SCH-R760, not RS-760. Hope this helps!

Hi all,
I have a Note 10.1 2014 that I bricked for good-really!-and I want to try putting a replacement mother board in. At least I assume it's the MB. Anyone know where parts might be available in the U.S.? (I can't deal with China shipping time, forget overseas at all)
Other alternative is if someone here has a damaged unit with a known good board that I could cannibalize. I'm very experienced with working on small parts, used to work in defense electronics so doing the physical replacement will go easy for me, and thanks to everyone here, I can flash the ROM, etc.
Very much appreciated if anyone can help-thanks in advance!

Hi everybody!
I'm not a smartphone expert so bear me if I will write some nonsense...
I have in my hands a HUAWEI Nova 3e.
Months ago my father has been in China for work and had to purchase a second smartphone to use wit a Chinese SIM.
Once back home, since it's a nice device, he thought to give it away to my cousin.
He gave it to his father that knows a supposed "expert" that would be able to make it usable in Europe.
After a while I accidentally heard from him that person was "busy" and still hadn't fixed it. So I made some searches, found some guides from which looked an easy thing to do, and told him to give it to me.
Unfortunately only after had followed those guides I've discovered the decision of HUAWEI about the bootloader unlock codes...
So I'm stucked.
Can somebody tell me if there's a way to make this device usable in Europe?
Whatever type of suggestion is welcome.
Thank you
I guess it's a not so interesting topic...
