Volume Rocker Replacement

---

Has anyone come across a replacement for the volume rocker? Somehow, the top and bottom portions of mine cracked, with the top coming off completely and falling out. Now I can't use the side button to increase volume... and the bottom is still cracked and barely hanging in there. Kinda annoying.

I came across threads with other HTC devices where the user called HTC and they shipped a replacement cover - anyone have an idea if that would work now that I have voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader?

Anyway, I was hoping to not have to pay $40-$50 for an entirely new back cover (the rest of my phone is virtually flawless), but eventually will if I can't find any other solution. Thanks in advance for any help.

Only one way to find out, just don't tell them anything they don't need to know

If the back is a covered accessory, just call HTC warranty repair, tell them what happened, ask for a replacement. They may ask for the broken part by return mail, so don't chuck it.

Changes to the phone's software are irrelevant to a hardware fault.

eBay 14-20 bucks

Just got a free replacement from htc today, just called and they asked for my serial to check that my warranty is still covered, gonna ship in a few days, all for free.

Unlocking the bootloader voids the software warranty NOT the hardware warranty.


As far as I know, they can't even honestly tell that you have unlocked your bootloader UNLESS you tell them straight up (which you wouldn't).

So just call and ask for a replacement, and you should get one for free.
