List updated, some parts recently sold.

AGAIN, IF A PART IS NOT ON THE LIST BELOW, THE PART HAS BEEN SOLD!!!! [Despite my saying this a zillion times as of Aug 12 I am still getting messages asking about trackball parts, rails, etc.].

-- Keyboard ($25) - This keyboard is the black one that comes on the the black phones, such as the Rogers or T-Mo. $20 & $5 delivery confirmation shipping. Sold elsewhere for $30 plus shipping.

-- Speaker - ($20) - Not your subwoofer for sure, but if yours is not working, this one does. $15 & $5 delivery confirmation shipping.

-- Ear piece "Speaker" - ($20) This is the little ear piece speaker that fits underneath the front part of the phone, at the top. It's the speaker underneath those two little holes at the top of the phone. $15 & $5 delivery confirmation shipping.

-- MicroSD Chip "door" - ($15) - These break easy or get bent to where they don't work. Here's a replacement for you. $11 & $4 delivery confirmation shipping.

-- Motherboard - ($40) - This suffered water damage, do not know at all what part of the board shorted out. But this has the camera, USB port, SIM door, and various switches that should work. If you are good with working on circuit boards, should be able to salvage the parts mentioned. $35 & $5 delivery confirmation shipping. Note: A site offers to replace ONLY a USB port, cost $80.

In looking at the USB port with a jeweler's loupe, replacing the USB port appears a simple soldering job. Same for the other parts, such as the earphone port and the various switches. All the soldering points are easily accessed.
