[Q] A100 wit A500 motherboard

[xarloq]

Hi Guys,

I've fried the mobo on my A100, now im looking for replacemnt mobo to get somewhere.

And now i have a simple (possibly stupid) question:

can i use a mobo from A500 ?

note that it does not have to fit in the case.. i use it i my car as gps and etc... and all i need it to do is jusbt work.

Any thoughts on that ?


Thanks

i've been looking through some pics and it seems that its different in size for sure and what worse is that it does not have same connectors.. so i can not interchange perts.. or at leaset that what it looks like..
if you have different info please let me know.

I bricked a100, i find 16gb motherboard mb.h6s00.001 in china, in taobao, 70€ + ship and i buy with yocomproporti.com, because all is in language chinese.

thanks man.. i just wrote to yocomproporti to see how much and how quick can i get the part to spain ))

 

[jorgemonstro1]

At least twenty days to ship, i'm waiting for the mobo.

Yeah,of course, I think they are used, but if they work worthwhile, 16gb price and size, if the 8GB costs $ 120 + shipping. Release the Nexus7 morning.

I got several hits in Google for part # mb.h6r00.001 (8gb model) one as low as $89.99 on eBay. I couldn't find much for the 's' part number (16gb).

I am currious why you don't just buy another a100 used somewhere. I see them all the time online for about $120 on craiglist and ebay. It would save on a lot of waiting time and uncertainty about whether it works or not.

I agree. I was giving some useful info on what's out there. Some people may want to just see if they can fix it, or just like tinkering. If it is as easy as remove, install and flash a stock ROM, I don't know, but if somebody tries and succeeds they may save a few bucks and gain some knowledge. And give another option to those with bricks and no warranty. It would be interesting on how the new boards internal memory comes and what it takes to get it up and running.

This involves: warranty void in Spain by buying U.S. and unlock the bootloader. Price: € 350 repair, change mobo.
Buy mobo used ebay $ 89 + shipping to Spain =? + Time.
Buy new mobo $ 120 + shipping to Spain =? + Time.
Buy Mobo 16gb buy in taobao, 60 € +20 € shipping, paypal and broker commission yocomproporti.com.
The time ranges from 15 to 30 days. not hard to change, we must be careful with the connectors combs.
My opinion is it worth putting the 16GB instead of 8GB, one price, the 16GB is 50 € more expensive than 8gb, faster and space(-weak data and apk). know if they are new, used or refurbished, but only paypal claim.
And which option you choose?

Personally I would go with what is cheapest and from a good seller. I took as quick look on eBay/eBay.UK, and the cheapest I could find a refurbished a100 is about 200€ (shipped to spain) that's not including any taxes. With refurbs being that high in your area it might be best to repair it. I wouldn't worry about the memory size, that can be worked around. Check the return policy from thee sellers most have 30 days.

Yepp, im going exactly this way (taobao) but with the other company (see my post above ).
Ill get it in 4-6 with ups i thing.. itll cost only 30 euros. so ill have the new mobo prolly by the end of the next week.

and yes to all wondering: i LOVE tinkering with stuff )) and the other thing is that i would have to take apart any other A100 coz its going into my car. and i already have the power button and some other stuff solodered out and into my dash borad
