Cheap EBAY car charger from Bargaincell.com fried the charging circuit/sync/USB connnector on my brand new 8525. The guy tells me he won't do anything about damages, so I'm stuck needing a replacement motherboard. Other than this my device is in perfect condition, so I'm not looking to part it out either.
If you have an operational motherboard, Please email me at:

THANKS!
Have you tried putting the phone in for warranty?
Well, I got the phone 2nd hand off of ebay (No Warranty). Shortly there after, another ebay product killed it. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1443395&postcount=22
I would still try and get it replaced through AT&T. I bought my 8525 through eBay and had an issue with it and AT&T still replaced it under the manufactures warranty for me. I've done it numerous times with phones over the years. The number you should call is 1-800-801-1101. It's definitely worth a shot...
Hmmm... I suppose the worst thing they can tell me is "no"...
I'll be damned... I didn't think that would work... A replacement is on the way! Thanks for the idea, TheBrit and ahfunaki!!
No problem, glad to have saved you some time and money...
And the nice thing is too, the phone you'll receive basically is brand new...
Bah... Cingular/ATT sent me a unit with the White screen issue. right out of the box... *sigh* A replacement for the replacement is on the way...

Or charge you for the new phone after they determine the damage wasnt due to a defect. You gotta be careful as they try to find anthing to make your fault. I got a couple boards if interested
LOL Just called them again tonight... Time for the replacement for the replacement for the replacement . The rep tried to talk me into taking a different model in exchange. "Sir, since you've had the trouble with that model, how about a different model instead? A Blackberry 7100, perhaps?" LOL. He didn't seem too surprised that I asked about the Tilt, and it seemed like he checked stock and said that there was none so far. We'll see what happens.
omg.....really>? if i would of known this i wouldnt of opened my phone and voided it....do you guys think that they will accept it?? i got my 8525 from ebay
to ahfunaki:
Can you write all procedure step by step, because I don’t live in USA but I have couple friends in USA with ATT account? I can ask for help but their don’t realize how to do it, because I was send my device couple weeks ago but in ATT local store refuse to help because of ebay purchase. A can call to ATT via skype and organize everything.
Sorry for my poor English.
Scenario:
You have a new, working Atrix that will be returned to the factory when I receive my replacement within the next few day's....
Do you
A) Try and experiment as much as you can on it, knowing you will have a replacement device here soon and flash like crazy?
B) Don't waste the time?
C) Just keep doing more research until my next Atrix comes in, then happily flash?
Cliff notes:
I had a CM7 Atrix (Ba2Tf) Up until last week.. Went in to Att and exchanged it for a newly operating unit because my FP scanner was not working.. ((IT was not working even before the CM7 so don't try to clown... )) LOL
Anyways, what would you do? Im kinda bored ATM.. but don't know if ATT will deny the unit through the mail since it would be technically"Unlocked"
why would you experiment when you don't know whether or not AT&T will give you a new phone?
My new phone is in the mail.. It will be here in a couple days
Maybe I should have said mail
Hi all,
So I went to T-Mobile for a replacement for a 2 month old S5. It has been randomly rebooting and not taking phone calls for a couple of weeks now, and hopefully, was just a defective unit.
I have root on my current phone, and plan to root the replacement, but since I have a new phone with guaranteed stock, untripped knox, is this a good time to play around with roms on the old defective unit? I have a few days before I have to send the old one back. Does T-Mobile check stuff like that on defective units, or do they just send it to a refurb facility or junk it?
My s5 has the same issue as yours. I called T mobile and the support guys recommend me to remove the sd card. However, after 24 hours, my phone randomly restarted one time, when I open the Youtube. I am no idea what cause the phone reboot. I am think about call T-moblie again for a replacement. any idea?
Hi guys...ok I contacted lg thru email about my phone with burned out pixel on the edge and i got a RA number and shipping label...and they fixed it and its on the way back....my question is...do they repair or just send a different one back...they recieved it yesterday and sent it out today and that seem very fast for fixing it...if they did at all.? reason im asking i'm wondering if i should buy my screen protector on ebay now so i have em by the time it gets here...
Hello,
I have a samsung S6 edge phone. From past few days i am seeing a black spot under the screen. can someone help me how to fix this. I bought this phone 5 months ago from AT&T store. ATT is mentioning that they will exchange my phone with warranty claim but will exchange it with a refurbished phone.
When i called Samsung they mentioned me that i have to send the phone to them. They will do basic troubleshooting. if they can fix it they will if not they will replace the phone ( samsung mentioned they will replace with brand new phone but I doubt it as its been 5 months since i bought this phone)
I cannot send phone to samsung as i cannot end up having no phone with me for 14 days. I dont want refurbished phone either as its been only 5 months since i took this phone
can anyone help me here and suggest me a good way to fix it or get a new replacement phone

As for your problem, I'd rather take the replacement from Samsung into account instead of ending up with a refurbished phone...even if that means you won't have it for 2 weeks. Borrow a phone from someone meanwhile
Sent from nowhere over the air...
Well without the pic we can not help you I do hope some one here can help you.
I sent the phone to samsung support and they have replaced the screen and fixed the issue. thanks everyone for helping me
