W910i Repairs

dm666 · 15th March 2010, 4:45 PM

After anyone doing screen relpacements on SE W910i that is good, cheap and reliable? Does not need to be a shopfront, so a backyardy who knows there stuff is fine.
Prefer in Canberra but can send elsewhere if required.

Thanks

I just changed my one recently (ok a year ago now lol). just buy a screen off ebay, think it was $40 and it takes about 15 mins to do. there's walkthroughs on the net

Thanks Fozby, exactly what I wanted to hear, heard some phones aren't worth attempting and others are pretty straightforward, sounds like the 910 is the later, so I will give it a go, nothin to lose anyway, can't stuff it anymore than it already is!!!

Do you guys find your W910i freezes frequently?

yeah given up on it a long time ago

worked a bit better after getting it debranded and put the generic firmware on it. not worth it these days though , the phone's probably only worth $150?
