8525 repair /where?

[RaptorGuy]

Hey guys,

Can anyone tell me where the cheapest place to have a ribbon cable replacement is?

My 8525 is out of warranty, and I cant afford too much to buy another phone, it's getting quite rediculous.


Thanks

well not sure how much it will cost you to replace the ribbon but I have seen 8125 and 8525 very cheap. now depending on what your budget is might be worth spending the extra $$ or upgrade your current phone so you can get warrant.

I dont have any extra 8525 but I do have 2 8125.

Why do you think it's out of warranty? 8525's were released last Novermber (less than a year ago). So, as long as it hasn't been physically tampered with or damaged, you can just call up AT&T and have it replaced. That is, as long as you're an AT&T customer. :)

Thats the thing.
I bought the phone on eBay, it was only two weeks old, when I bought it.

I had it unlocked to work with Centennial Wireless, and ATT / Cingular said they cant do anything about it.

It is too late for me to get a SquareTrade warranty to have it replaced.

Too bad no-one around here had a broken one to sell cheap for parts.

Ahh gotcha. Have you tried reseating the ribbon cable yourself?

I could be wrong, but can't you contact HTC since the phone is less than a year old...? It can still be replaced under the manufacturer's warranty...

I tried reseating the cable myself, but it needs a new one.

Parts are too expensive for these phones.
