Hi I would like peoples opinions please. My nexus 7 has annoyingly developed a charging fault and as it is now 13 months old it is out of warranty. It seems hard to source parts for it and as I am not sure whether it is the battery of the usb charging port that is faulty, I suppose I would have to send it to Asus for them to diagnose the fault and quote a price to repair it.
My thinking is that it is probably not worth paying for a repair to a 13 month old device when I could buy a new one. As I am in the uk I would presume the price for a repair would be at least £75 depending on what the fault is.
Forgot to mention that I have tried all the fixes for battery and charging problems and could easily fit a new battery( if I could find one in the uk) but as I said before I am not sure what the problem is it could be the usb port is faulty.
Has any of you in the UK had a Nexus 7 repaired and what did you pay if it was out of warranty
Cheers

My HD2 appears to have a faulty usb port at the bottom. Being active only when you angle the cable correctly.
As HTC have classed this as "physical damage" (unsure how, phone 4 months old) I don't fancy paying their £200 + for a MB replacement.
Can any board members recommend a reasonable repair place in the UK.
Cheers
Anyone know a good source of new genuine Samsung batteries in the UK or Europe preferably, for the Omnia 7.
Samsung in the UK do not seem to be able to supply a new one, which I find completely amazing (how do they cover warranty repairs ?) and I can only seem to find 14 day return items on e-bay or similar, which are not very new !!!!! I was sold a battery which was 18 months old....
It is possible to buy new branded items, but I would prefer a genuine new item....
The batteries are dated so it's easy to tell how old they are.....
Thanks
Anyone knows how much is replacing mobo for LG Optimus7 (e900)? I think about replacing it on my own (some mobile repair experience) but if you can indicate price for fixing too, glad to know it. I live Ireland but can send it abroad if you can recommend any reliable service.
I don't have any experience with replacing motherboards, but I don't think there is some kind of service selling them. Replacing it would be a lot of work too. Maybe buying a new one would be an option. Or buy a cheap, damaged Optimus 7 and just use it's mobo?
Damn and double damn! Took my S4 out of my pocket (front) yesterday and it wouldn't work. Tried to brush what I thought was a hair off the screen and realised that it was a crack .... So, a new screen/digitiser is needed. Can anyone recommend a seller in the UK (or, someone in the UK recommend a seller TO the UK)? Don't mind if it's Fleabay or elsewhere, just as long as they sell what they say they sell .... I've found a few on Fleabay who seem legit but you never know ....
Thanks.
So, after some messing about I found that a local repair shop to me could supply and fit a new screen/digitiser for £99.99. Took him about 10 minutes as I'd already taken the phone apart Yes, I could have saved some money by buying via Fleabay but the extra gives me 6 months warranty. Now got what looks like a new phone.
Does anyone know if Samsung's Note 4 motherboard replacements actually have a proper EMMC chip? Or are they simply giving you another defective motherboard with a short warranty?
I'm asking because Samsung in Canada wants $390 to replace the motherboard. Even the service staff guy rudely recommended against it. It only comes with a three month warranty.
So, I'm inferring they don't actually change the motherboard. They most likely just give you another Note 4 and hope it doesn't go bad in three months.
Also - Any suggestion of a robust android phone would be much appreciated. I seems like Samsung is the Ford of phones.
$390 seems excessive. In EU a used Note 4 is ~$150. Note 4 with a broken screen ~$90.
I plan to do the motherboard swap myself and would suggest you check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUDgGaFcCNY&t=287s and decide if you want to try it yourself.

Yes, $390 is excessive, but that's Canada for you..
If you're planning to do a motherboard swap, how will know if the new board has a good emmc chip? Are you buying the board directly from Samsung?

I'm planning to buy a used Note 4 with a broken screen. Possibly even N910C. Now, I cant know for sure the state of the eMMC chip, but it will be better than mine, that is dead
