Severe Drop/Fixed my device - HTC Desire X

Was testing out my Desire X's camera and my butter finger'ness came back and it slipped, smashed the ground. The screen looks fine, it just smashed open st the bottom. The battery doesn't really fit in properly, but if you push it in hard it fits in properly, but the device doesn't turn on.
There is also this two clips, does it have anything to do with proving battery power?

My question is, can this device still be recoverable as its not as bad. And I had paid money for it. Cheapest way to fix this? I've tried pushing everything into place but it just flings out.
When connecting the device to the PC it has a blinking led at the top which is red. Which blinks on and off.
Edit - the device turns on just fine oo freaking strong device.

Yeah, should be fixable. I think you'll need this as replacement and hopefully it will work fine then. Didn't test myself, I only had to replace screen assembly some time ago, but this part is easy to replace, provided that you've got the right screw driver available.

[Q] Purple-ish Capacitive Buttons? Get it replaced?

Hey guys I received my HTC One earlier today and I noticed a couple of things, one, there are small gaps between the polycarbonate and the speaker grill and my capacitive buttons seem to have a purple-ish hue to them. it almost seems as if they are not completely lighting up. Has anyone else had this issue?
If not should I go ahead and get it replaced?
The only reason I ask is because when I went to the AT&T store, the display model had the same issue.
By the way, they look sort of like this, except more purple:

Mine have somewhat of a hue.
They look like this:

All I'm able to tell is that it's a Samsung device, and it may be GSM because of the microSIM slot I see on the back. The back had no battery, no cover, no SIM, the screen is clearly decimated, two capacitive buttons missing (it takes talent to break capacitive buttons) and most buttons are pretty much loose.
I may spend a little money to get this thing fixed up, assuming it even turns on. I planned on getting a battery to test out first, then if it worked, fixing up the phone and keeping it or selling it. Not anytime soon, since I just bought a Nexus 4 while already low on leisure money, but it would be nice.
From the picture you provided and the detailed description it appears to be a Samsung Epic 4g.
If your interested in some replacement parts for the device I would recommend taking a look at these parts www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm.

It looks great but.
Ive broken the touch...every 1cm line the touch works, everything else is dead... The speaker is dead. A really good investment
1 problem...when I start the camera the phone crashes...
This is my logcat...I need to know if the camera is broken or its the rom
The phone reboots every 5mins...
I dont know if the rom is the problem or phone... :S
I cant install another rom because the setups need touch input except the one installed...reinstalled the one but still the same.
Nobody interested
It was the roms fault lol and the connection to the top unit (speaker sensor notification led) was not good...
The phone is now fully silver/white...ill make pics if interested
yes show some pics...
I'd like to see some pics too.
gone...far far away, bouth an m7 :/

[Q] Hard-bricked Rezound! WTB cheap unbrick service.

After three years of reliable service, my Rezound is now hard-bricked. My extended battery case tends to shift around a bit as the battery heats up (the locking tabs are worn down) and the phone lost power DURING EMMC formatting, due to the cover popping off enough for the battery to come disconnected. After putting the battery back in place, no power, no charge LED, no USB connect sound in Windows, no ADB or Fastboot response.... JUST DEAD.
I was preparing this phone to give to a friend since I just got a One M8, but I doubt he wants a brick. I looked online for unbrick services, and it seems that a $50+shipping JTAG/RIFF unbrick is just not cost effective (the phone goes for $60-80 on Swappa).
Can anyone here find it in their heart to unbrick this thing at a VERY low price so I can give it to a cash-strapped friend? If not, into the lake with it! :crying: :crying:

Water damage; Only charging seems affected. How to check/repair?

My so left it on the kitchen dresser. When I picked it up (because it was bootlooping) the water came dripping out. I think most of it was in the seams between the cover, but there were some substantial drops in it, but only on the plastic parts.
I placed it immediately in rice to dry with the back removed. It still booted afterwards, and everything seemed to be functional (wifi, rotation, camera etc.). Only charging doesn't work. Ran battery endurance test to heat it up a little extra, but charging still doesn't work.
I see some corrosion a little above and to the left of the battery. Other than that I cant spot anything unusual. How do I check which part is the problem?
Yikes.
You could... send it back to HTC, and let them tell you what is wrong with it, then perhaps buy the part yourself and install it.
With any electronic, I would disassemble it and assure that every part is clean & securely fit.
Maybe the smart chip in the battery shorted? Maybe only the battery needs replacing. I have no idea how to confirm that.
Good luck, man.
