cnn.cn GENUINE oem parts??

[imasri29]

I ordered a full housing, case and front dpad from CNN.CN and it appears to me that the parts are NOT OEM as they claim to be.

The housing has a shiny back cover (like the front) instead of being rubbery and the HTC logo is not dead-on straight, it's crooked abit. Also the front cover does not have the origional HTC logo to the right (note: the camera hole is present, thus it's not made for a tilt).

Now I've also noticed on all the parts, except for the DPAD, have a small Cellular Nationwide Network (cnn) sticker, which would indicate to me the compnay itself manufactured the parts. Any ideas?

Here is a parts list i've ordered
http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-full-housing-p-2148.html (notice the glossy back)
http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-outer-keypad-p-2057.html
and for some reason the part 'HTC TyTN II/Tilt OEM LCD screen' is no longer present on their site.

Let me know what you guys think

Found another site:

I've ordered from cc.cn for other phones earlier and they've been OEM, but I dont think the TyTYn2 in OEM, the rear panel on my TyTn is rubbery while the one on cnn.cn looks shiny. THe one is gsm4world does'nt look OEM as the rubber GPS antennae port does'nt have GPS written on it, I guess OEM still has'nt come onto the market

Hmm it sucks i paid top-dollar for non-oem. Also like you mentioned, my case doesn't have the embeded "GPS" writing on the rubber cover either.

edit: but their customer service is excelent. They replied to emails within an hour and sometimes within 30 minutes. I got the items in 7 days, and i ordered it on the 26 (during holidays)

OK so after spending 2 hours installing the lcd and replacing the non-oem funny fitting front face, it looks like the job failed.

When i turn on my phone, the LCD lights up plain white. The phone works, i can receive calls, i hear the phone ring but i do not get a display. Any ideas?

I heard the LCD connector click when i pushed it into the board.

Disassemble, re-inspect, and re-seat all connections you can.

If that doesn't work then chances are more was damaged than you initially thought. I've never opened up my Kaiser, but thats just what I'd do.

has anyone bought an LCD for kaiser from cnn.cn? is it original (OEM)?

[danish123]

My htc desire is broken.. Its LCD amoled , touchscreen and housing is damaged. If i purchase it from CNN.cn website ... are they going to be the original parts? What do you think is the best solution to it, since my home country doesnt have a htc repair center and none has its spare parts

No problem with CNN.CN, they're reliable and parts are OEM. :)

Parts may be OEM manufacturer but quality & grade are not guaranteed !
I have seen housings from CNN that certainly were not OEM, bit of gamble but if options are limited one you might take !
