Hello,

I'm looking for a source of an online store or one which can deal via
e-mail to get a few damaged parts on a few Nokia Communicators, the
9210 and 9210i versions, fixed affordably.

We have a few of them due to the nature of our phone based applet
development work and as such we tend to damage them a lot. ;-)

More than one source would be great as this way we'd be able to find
the most suitable supplier.

We're not looking for quantities, just a few to fix this broken thingy
and that ding.

Thank you.

Hello lizardnation,

I am searching for sources for you but it would be helpful to know
where you are located. Are you in the United States? If so, what city
and state.

Hello Wellen,

I'm not in the US, though I can have things bounce off of a forwarder
I have an account with.

I don't care where they are, as long as they can exchange information
online, email or other, to agree on shipping arrangements.

A good source with 'reasonable' pricing is all I want. :-)

lizardnation,

I have found several sources but I hope you don't mind if I verify
that I am understanding your queston correctly. You want the spare
parts so that you can do the repairs yourself rather than places that
will do the repairs for you, correct?

Can you list some of the parts you are seeking so that I can compare
them to the sources I have found and make sure they are included in
their lists?

As far as 'reasonable pricing', do you have specific amounts in mind?

Thank you,
wellen

Hello Wellen,

I appreciate the attention to detail you've put into this, it is
appropriate. :-)

We need parts and we'll take care of the servicing, so I only need a
source for the parts and not the repairing service.

Parts such as external screens, internal LCDs, rubber legs, antennas,
external body (both parts), batteries and a few internal technical low
level replacement parts our technician would be able to provide a
name/number for to be ordered.

As to a sample pricing, give me an example of the above in the answer
and I won't punish you in rating the question if they're not suitable
as I don't feel that's easy to do without answering the question,
unless you would like to show a sample of the above parts pricing in a
clarification? :-)

Thank you!

Hello? :-)

/Lizardnation

Your consideration is sincerely appreciated, lizardnation. I've posted
my Comment below as an Answer in response to your reply. Hopefully you
will find some of what you are seeking.

-----------------------------------------------------------
My apology, lizardnation. I started to post this but got interrrupted.
 I don't feel that I have found 'exactly' what you are seeking
 according to the way your question is worded, so I am posting this as
 a comment rather than an Answer. Perhaps other researchers are also
 searching and can provide you with an Answer.
  
 After extensive searching, I have not found suppliers that carry most
 of the parts you are seeking. The Nokia web site (
 http://www.nokia.com ) makes the following statement concerning
 replacement parts:
  
 "Replacement Parts- Nokia provides parts to Authorized Service
Centers
 only. Please visit your local Nokia Authorized Service Center for
 replacement parts and service. Using parts and repair services from
 unauthorized service centers may void the warranty on your Nokia
 phone. Please call us at 1-888-NOKIA2U (1-888-665-4228) to find a
 Nokia Authorized Service Center near you. You may also send your
phone
 directly to the Nokia Repair Center for parts replacement."
 This statement appears to be very accurate, replacement parts are not
 easily found outside of Authorized Service Centers."
  
 The sources that I had found and mentioned previously were those who
 carried items that were referred to as 'accessories' or 'spare
parts'.
 But when I began to search for the specific items you listed, and
 similar items, they could not be found for the Nokia 9210 or Nokia
 9210i. Your models are indeed rare. Even when I tried searching for
 'aftermarket'/'generic'/'universal' parts such as this web site
 carries, they were not listed for your phones.
 ( see http://cell-phone-accessories.com/accesories.html --- "Still
 can't find in item? Please send an Email for a prompt response
between
 10am - 6pm PST excluding weekends & major holidays." 
 sales@cell-phone-accessories.com ).
  
 One thing that became evident is that many of these sites had
 inventories that changed frequently and only listed some of their
 products online. I did not find any companies that had numerous
 replacement/repair parts for your phones. They usually suggested that
 you contact them by email to see if they have the items you need. My
 searching was done internationally but most of the results were from
 the United States and the UK, which I realize may be a difficulty for
 you. I'm listing some of the web sites below for you that may have
 additional products that are not on their web sites.

Hello Wellen,

I appreciate your point of view and your ability to pickup on what it
is I'm seeking from my question and sticking to that as a goal.

I'd like to adjust the question amount to something more suitable to
cover at least your effort and the leads which I shall find useful to
follow through on if you'll accept that? :-)

/Lizardnation

Thank you for your very generous reply, lizardnation. Whatever you
feel is fair will be quite acceptable. I do hope that some of what I
found is useful and that other researchers will continue seeking an
answer for you.

Thank you again,
wellen-ga

There you go, please paste it in there and I'll follow through.  The
pleasure was all mine. :-)
