my broken pinephone, possible sale - zetabeta - 09-23-2021
i have weird dilemma now. i bought new pinephone 3gb/32gb variant, because previous one showed serious damage to the screen and touchscreen. touchscreen is broken and detaches from screen. roughly speaking half of the touchscreen works. i almost bricked the modem chip, but i got it back though. so what to do half-broken pinephone.
option 1: use it spare parts
option 2: buy new screen, which is still cheap enough. https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-5-99-lcd-panel-with-touch-screen/
option 3: sell it
good:
asking price 0€ (shipping not included and preferebly eu only)
bad:
serious damage and usage
shipping is not free
hardware version 1.2a
usb hub adds extra
edit:
mainboard is modified from 1.2a to 1.2b. seems to work but no guarantees.

I would keep it for spare parts at least if you plan on using and playing with your phone for a bit longer. Or get a new screen if you need a second device (e. g. one for regular usage and one for developing). Spare parts might come in handy epsecially since it's cumbersome to get them shipped from Pine64. Just today I was happy to have a spare USB C board because I noticed my speaker stopped working due to a partly broken flex cable (it probably took some demage when I transferred it to a new screen). I managed to scrape of some plastic of the cable and resolder it, but it's dirty and it doesn't fit properly anymore, so I was glad to have a spare around to use.

Is it possible to buy just a parts from pinephone? I need Daughterboard (it costs 10 USD in shop, but shipping costs 30 ...).

sending such a small item is a little headache, probably envelope but envelope cannot be ordinary paper envelope.
btw, i modified mainboard from 1.2a to 1.2b. i don't totally trust my soldering but it seems to work. (of course touchscreen does not and screen is heavily delaminated, screen still works).

That's the problem, because I fully understand, but if I put a price on how much the part is worth it's more likely to be - Well probably not.
That's the problem, I have a 1.2b, and it's only the particular circuit board that's failing
