I know that this is not a selling forum, but I've had a lot of help over quite a long time from this site so would like to help out fellow members if I can. If this is not acceptable to the moderators I'm sorry, but here goes:
I've got an XDA2 that has been dropped. The screen is fine, but it's permanently locked into "Calendar" mode and cycles through all the calendar views and options. In all other ways it is in very good condition. It receives and makes calls, and all the functions are available, but I can't always turn it off. It's boxed and complete with cradle, charger, earphones, case, software, manuals, etc., and I'm sure that someone with a bit more time than me could make use of it. It's not stolen, or from any other dubious source - I've upgraded and just don't have the time at the moment - I wish I did, but that's the way it goes.
hi mate
how much would you like for your faulty xda unit?
cheers
chris
xda2 for sale
do you still have the xda2 for sale? if so how much do you want for it?
thank you
chris
I'm sorry but it was sold before Christmas. You might try "Wanted" on eBay.
I also have an XDA 2 for sale.it's in fully working order apart from the charge / sync connecter has come out.I still have the connecter maybe a bit of soldering could fix it?If not I have a link to a company that do repairs a lot cheaper than the xda service centre.Any offers?
Hi all,
I have a Universal on which the screen stopped working. I actually think the screen itself is fine, but that the connecting cable(s?) is damaged.
Using MyMobiler I can "see" the Universal's display on my laptop, so I know the rest of it is fine.
As a result, I'm looking for a dead Universal (with a working screen!) that's now unwanted so I can repair mine. Alternatively, if anybody can reccommend a CHEAP but GOOD repair service in the UK.
Many thanks in advance!
Hi, just PM'ed you, if you r interested
Having partially opened the thing, I can see the coaxial cable is damaged and this is the only part I need replacing.
If anybody has a totally dead Universal, even with a smashed screen I'd be very interested!
Carphone warehouse....

Why not take it to the Carphone warehouse I took mine there when the screen was damaged and it only cost me £35 to repair... Alternatively buy a new coaxial cable off ebay should be able to find loads from Hong Kong etc.

Regularly $10.50, on sale for $3.50. Just figured I'd pass it along.

Thanks but I'll spend the extra dollar and a half to buy from monoprice instead of some random dude on amazon with a horrible rating in the past 30 days.
The Monoprice cables don't work. The micro connector is way too loose, and won't make a good connection. I bought 4, none of them worked with any of the EVOs we tried. RMA'ed them, got replacements 2 weeks later, none of those worked either. Now I'm stuck with returning them for store credit. Not very happy with Monoprice right now...
That sucks... Well I already have them on the way... I'll report my findings as well. Though I had several other cables to buy so not a big deal if I have to have store credit.
Wanted to bump this back up. Those of you who got this deal, whats the updated story? I noted some promised updates... where's the beef?
I'm interested in this, as the price is still 3.50 as of this morning...
I got a 3ft one from monoprice and it worked fine the few times that I've used it. Once somebody works out how to mirror everything through it I imagine I will be using it all the time.

I bought it from them about a week ago, same cable and I have similar issues. The connection is loose. I'd like to know if it's the cable or is it my Evo?
I bought 1 too a few weeks back. Same problem, connection was loose. You had to hold it in at an angle for the TV to pick it up. I RMA'ed that one and got a replacement. This time it was even worst, whenever I plug it in, my phone would freeze up.
I thought it was me only but I guess others are having this problem too. It seems to work on the Droid X according to the reviews on MP, so I maybe its just us EVO user.
I give up on these, probably will buy a name brand one whenever I can justify the price. Othere then these faulty cable, I love MonoPrice!
I too love Monoprice, but I have 2 6 ft cables and you have to have the cable in at just the right angle for it to work. This is the first product I've had a problem with from Monoprice.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I bought one of these as well and it's very touchy. It doesn't connect firmly and if you bump the phone, the signal is gone. Then it doesn't always want to connect again. I know this may be a monoprice issue, does anyone have experience with a Sprint bought cable?
I may try another site, but 5 bucks after shipping and I had it two days later wasn't a bad deal. I'm going to purchase another to leave at my gf's house so I'd like to hear anyone else's experiences.

Chris,
I have read from time to time about the excellent quality of service provided by Monoprice on various forums but never had to deal with it on my own, as I have rarely, if ever, needed to return anything. Your representation here on XDA is definitely a welcomed surprise and shows how truly great Monoprice's customer service is. I am, unfortunately, one of the fella's who has a 'defective' micro HDMI cable and will send you and the RMA department an email trying to detail what I perceive the issue could be. I hope w/ the support of the group here, that we can get to the bottom of the issues as it would be f'n awesome to have it working properly.
Happy Holidays!
I will be glad to take pictures of my cables as soon as I get back into town, but because of the holidays it will be another week before I can.
I will be taking pics tomorrow, the holidays kept me pretty busy...
Mines doesn't work bummer
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!
I just received my cable same deal fits loose and wont work. Ill email NPDMonoprice later today.
Oddly enough the Car charger works great! Evo see it as AC not usb.
I just wanted to let NPDMonoprice know that I bought one back in November that works perfectly. If there is any sort of "manufacturing run number" or "batch number" on the cable, let me know where to find it and I'll shoot it over to you for reference.

I love monoprice! this is awesome to see support even on these forums!
I buy ALL my cables from monoprice. I have spent hundreds and saved hundreds!
HDMI, XLR, and 1/4" audio cables are top notch!
customer for life!
Just wanted to share this. I always drag my charger back and forth to work. I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. More often then not I don't even use it, but nice to have in case I want to flash something or if I actually need a charge. Anyway, found this and ordered it. Had it in 2 days and it is OEM. Just passing on a good deal.

Several reviews from unhappy ATRIX customers ranging from wrong cable to only the wall plug shipped to used product to doesn't work. I think Ill pass.
Mine crapped out on me so I'm giving it a try. I just ordered the one that's fulfilled by amazon ($3.50) since I have a prime account. I'll update about the quality/condition once I get it. For that cheap I'm not too worried.
The one I got works fine and appears to be brand new. For 3.46 I am satisfied.
Well, mine came in today. It works like you'd expect it to. It had a few small scratches (from shipping, I believe) but it seemed in perfect condition otherwise. I only used it a bit earlier because I was about to head out when I got it, so tonight will be the first actual "full charge session". I can't imagine it will magically stop working, but I'll update if anything shows up.
Like I said earlier, even if it hadn't worked, I wouldn't have minded too much. I'd be a little upset but for $3.50 I'd get over it pretty quickly. If you want an extra charger or need a replacement, I'd recommend going for this unless you can find a better/cheaper alternative.
woot thanks i needed the extra microusb cable
I ordered mine before you posted this. It had a scratch but it is fine. The people complaining most likely didn't buy it from Motorola, probably opting for the cheaper option. I'm a student so I have free prime (and man i love it!), and this looks like the exact same charger they pack in the atrix box. Even has that 'ECOMOTO' tag.
anyone out there know a place or website where i can get a new charging port flex cable that will actually work with out problems.
my original one didnt charge right unless i bent it backwards a little
i bought 3 off ebay and had problems with each
1st one off ebay had no sound
2nd one had no service
3rd one didnt charge at all.
the original one was a REV 1.0 connector and so were the others, so if anyone knows where to get one that will work with no problems let me know
THANK YOU

Try cnn.cn but i think you will find only the whole micro usb port and not the flex cable alone
I have tried 12 replacement parts from ebay for an i717 and they ALL have no service after putting them in. but the original one that doesn't charge still gets service fine...
edit: I can recommend http://www.parts4repair.com/. Worked like a charm

well a i717 component in a n7000? version mismatch no?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, the AT&T version and the International version have different radios, and the micro USB port is connected to them. They are NOT interchangeable.
i717 ≠ GT-N7000
Any tips anyone?
Hi, I just want to revive this thread rather than start a new one.
I am gonna swap my my usb charging port for a one I bought on eBay. Does anyone have any tips I should know about that you can tell me?
I'm going by this youtube video. this is all I got and of course I'm kinda scared.:crying:
Thanks. Will check back later.
Easy to do, but will cause other issues
Hi. I too have just brought a note with this problem.
The replacement is easy, remove battery cover, battery sim etc. Take out the screws, use something thin to pries the edge off. Its the lip below the screen level though. After that, 3 more screws for the bottom section, then take out the one screw in the thin motherboard piece. Slide out the old flex, slide in the new one, re assemble.
The biggest problem is that youll most likely lose 80 % of your reception from it. When the phone is open, try to see if there is any corrosion behind your USB port, if there is clean it and try it. I did that as im sending my ebay one back for a replacement, Now my old one seems to be working, but for how long, i dont know.

I bought a battery charger and extra battery. I bought the brand Hyperion but I've heard there are better brands. Anyway, I don't charge my phone any more... I just swap batteries now. One is always on the charger and one in the phone. It works fantastically and further, the phone always has a charge. When I want to swap files I remove the card and put it in the PC. Works really good.
If you are on about the daughter board I got one of Amazon for£10 took less than 10 mins to fit and have had no problems. Came In OEM packaging
Any questions feel free to PM

It's 10 black screws on the back & 5 white to take there cover of over the daughter board. No need to undo a mother board screw whats this about losing 80%signal?
That's rubbish, Sir! Mine is on5 bars H+ and has been sincei did it. As there is a new mix. Too the sound is better, IMO
Sent from BOX13.
Bought mine off ebay worked 100%, signal is still the same, nothing happens to signal. But you have to buy the whole board. Mine didnt come with a wee microphone bit so i took off my old one, stuck the sticky bit within the square part and put the rubber part in the cover and screwed it on. Everything working fine.

My usb port is busted so am replacing that board too. However, I've bought two off ebay and both have had problems. First one fixed the charging issue but didn't give me any reception (well one bar now and then) and the second gave me signal but had a busted micro usb port. EBay can be so fustrating sometimes!!

I have just fitted my 3rd replacement board and loose most of my signal after fitting it. My original board gives me full signal but intermittent charging. :crying:
Do all N7000 use the same board or does country intended for make a difference? My note is an International phone made for Hong Kong.

To be honest I still haven't got a perfect replacement yet but one that is at least functional (get werid noises during phone calls - not on my end but on whoever is calling me).
You do have to make sure you get the correct board though. If you look on the original board it should have some writing in gold near the top. Mine said Rev 1.0 so I got replacements which were rev 1.0 too. Apparently there are other revisions (although I didn't come across any others).

I did my replacement yesterday.
Got the part from this seller:

And then followed this link on how to do it, took me 2 attempts as the 1st time I hadn't pushed one of the ribbon cables down and had no service. After pushing it in and putting it all back together it works again
