I'm a newbie and have a XDA1 that doesn't work. Please help! - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

First of all Hello to you all!
This is my first post here so please have some patience with me .
So let's start...
A friend of mine had a XDA1. He droped it a few times and after a while he stoped using it. Now I saw it at his place and asked him about it. He said he couldn't remember if it workes or not because he hasn't used it for some time. Then he said I can have it.
The problem is that is only the XDA and nothing else. The accessories he gave to someone else and some maby he threw away, I don't now.
So now I have a XDA but I don't know if it works or not and have nothing to charge it with.
I tend to think that it doesn't work because the display looks funny on the inside. The exterior doesn't have anything but on the interior it looks crashed and has some white areas.
So my first questions are what charger to ask for at the store or at the service and if the display needs to be replaced is it worth it to change it?
Thank you for your patience to read my post and for you replies.
Here is a picture with the display:

well. i think you'll need to get a charger first. but i dont know if it will help much. that screen looks pretty messed up

Thanks for you reply.
I figured out that I need a charger, but what should I ask for? It must have a model number I think.

I Guess the Easyest way to get a Charger (and a Data Cable too) is to Use The Colorefull 4 Letter Internet Auction house (ebay) just use the Term XDA Charger and you will get what you are searching for.. I bought mine there to.. and got a Data Cable and a Charger with an USB Connector
it works Fine and if the Device is Broken you can sell it again there ;-)

anyone know for sure , i just want to make sure before i purchase
My experience
I cracked my screen at work. I sent it to the manufacturer in the US in Houston. The customer service was very civil, but I had to light a small fire fire under their butts to get them moving on my phone. When it was all said and done, they sent me a brand new phone and it cost me like 160USD. /shrug, hope this helps!
@tnel20
Check out this ebay listing...supposedly there are two types of LCDs for the 8525, the LCD model number is on the back so you can make sure you get the right one:

You could ask the ebay seller just to be sure...my guess is that it would be the Toppoly LCD. Hopefully, you'll get a quick response if you ask.

[Q] is this a battery issue? or...

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it

Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.

[Q] Vibrant Won't turn On!

Hi, I have a TMobile Vibrant ROMed and rooted here, and it won't turn on. the soft keys do light up when its plugged in, but that's all it does. The battery is charged for sure because I do have an external battery charger that tells the charge of the battery.
This started happening about a couple days after I flashed AOKP, the odd thing is, prior I had CM7 flashed and it randomly bootlooped on me while using it (read: I was not installing roms/kernels, just regular day usage and it bootlooped)
This time with AOKP, it doesn't turn on at all! If anybody needs further information, I'll be on all day to provide it. Can anybody please help me?
UPDATE : I'm starting to think the screen is dead; I was able to flash stock somehow, and I can hear the unlock sound, but obviously nothing is on the display :/.
You probably already know that you can check for vital signs by plugging it into a PC and checking for a USB connection. You might even be able to get an adb login.
If the screen is dead, you could maybe use it as a... webcam? Wifi widget? Paper-weight? Or spare parts?
Good luck with it. It does sound like bad hardware.

Looks like I killed a portion of my screen... any suggestions?

I noticed today that when I tried to hit "e" button, it would hit "w" or "r" which was getting annoying. I thought maybe my build (Epinters JB) might have been having some problems.
Well after some reasearch, it looks like a line of my touchscreen is not functioning. Here is a screenshot from the Dev Tools "Pointer Location"

So my question is what options do I have... is it game over for my lovely Atrix? is this a fixable problem?
Thanks for the help!
The same thing happened on my EVO 3D. I replaced the digitizer and LCD and it works fine now. If you feel up to it you could purchase the parts and replace it yourself.

I don't think there's any need to replace the LCD. Just the digitizer and it should be fine.
Where can I find the proper item? Did you follow specific directions?

You can find it in ebay, search for 'atrix digitizer', a friend of mine bought one a few months back for less than 40 USD.
As for how to do it, here is a good tutorial.
I purchased an oem one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 I bought one before and it was not oem. Attracted more fingerprints, broke rather easy, and didnt have tint where the sensors were. So I recommend paying the extra couple bucks for oem. The seller I got it from (Seller1on1) actually issued me an RMA because i broke the ribbon cable by mistake. Which definitely scored some serious brownie points. Just be careful you don't buy an inferior or refurbished product.

Brand new charger dead?

Hello,
I've never used the stock charger but realising it may be the cause of some poor performance, I took it out of it's box, plug it and then.. Nothing happens?
Actually the charger was in my former i9100G box. But even if the G version had a different charger, it's still just an usb charger and something should happen! Can I open it to check the inside?
Sent from my GT-I9100
You could, hell, you can do whatever you want.
Now, what you should do is to check info on this regard, G variant is underclocked so it might need less juice from the power socket.
Low charge is good charge in my opinion but then again, what the hell do I know.
I'm pretty sure someone else already tried this, it has to be in the interbet sonewhere.
Sent from the little guy
I've checked again, even though the charger model is SAME, the usb connector looks sightly different...
It could also be a fake charger! Writing on it is not clear as the i9100 charger.
Serial starts by DK, other starts by RT. Left is i9100, right is i9100G.

So return it to the seller, get a refund, buy one from someone reputable (And don't make multiple threads about the same issue, you should know a lot better than that given how long you've been here :-/)
Multiple thread..? Curious where you see that! Actually I wanted to post on the I9100G global thread but couldn't find it. Now I did
