Another Sony CLIE PEG-UX50 Repair & Parts Shop

[DanT]

Some of you probably know me from TH55 forum, doing TH55 repairs and parts sale. Finally I get my feet wet with UX50 too. We'll see how it goes. If any of you need some parts, PM me first and I'll see if I get them.

[dragonsgames]

Woah when did you get all those???? :eek:
Do you have a speaker you can send me? That would be great!
I need the speaker including the part that goes at the ends of the wires (that attach onto the motherboard, it is clear with two gold plugs)

[DanT]

I got them about a month ago for a bunch of $$ :rolleyes:. Just now I get around to check them out and see if I can recoup some.

Is this what you're talking about? The speaker is glued on to the back plate and the negative is soldered on to the plate. I would sell it with the plate and let you disassemble it at your own risk. I would not be responsible of ruining the speaker. The plate is cracked so it is worthless (well, you may be able to crazy glue it), but the speaker is in good condition. As you can see, the gold connector is still intact. I'll sell it to you cheap, just send me a PM if you're still interested.

[fmc159]

[DanT]

Yes. Check your PM. ;)

[totololo]

Amazing !!!

[eva-01]

ooooh look at all those ux50s

man if i had that many i would make some sort of sculpture like a spiral staircase with a rod going through the hole for the strap - that would look cool :)

[DanT]

Like this? ;) :p :D

[dragonsgames]

:eek:

You have a lot of time on your hands, don't you? ;)

[LupeValenz]

THAT is what the Foleo should have been. UX is so sexy, just stick on the new os and it be better than what Palm gave us. How I miss that sexy lil thing now ;_;. Love the staircase, looks mighty cool lol.

[dragonsgames]

Don't forget a better battery... just add a better battery and screen and keep it the same size and I would be fine.

[eva-01]

:eek: yes exactly, hahaha
that looks cool, thanks dant, i never expected you to do it :)

[iDG]

Hello,

I'd quite like a replacement for the keyboard PCB of my UX-50, which became quite flakey in the last year. Any of these "spare parts" has, for example, a totally destroyed screen?

[DanT]

:eek:

You have a lot of time on your hands, don't you? ;)

That day, I did. :p

[DanT]

:eek: yes exactly, hahaha
that looks cool, thanks dant, i never expected you to do it :)

No, thanks to you. The pile looks better in my work room now. :D

[DanT]

Hello,

I'd quite like a replacement for the keyboard PCB of my UX-50, which became quite flakey in the last year. Any of these "spare parts" has, for example, a totally destroyed screen?

I have 3-4 UX50s in such state (no screen). Please send me a PM and show me the exact parts you want.

[Tomcatt0]

Say, let me know if you have a dead one. I would like to buy the case/shell from you. Or do I need to send it to you?

[DanT]

I have about 6 dead UX50s and 2UX40s with good shells.

Please send me a PM or email your inquiry, simply by clicking on my username, on the top left of my posts (DanT), right above my puppy avatar, to pull down an action list and select "Send a private message to DanT" or "Send email to DanT". Provide me with your email address so I can send you pictures of a good UX50 shell for you to see if it is what you want.

My 1src gallery is currently full, I can't load more pictures, unless I delete the others first. Otherwise, I would post them here.

BTW, I can also swap the shell for you. You can simply send your UX50 to me. The only different in price is the shipping cost both ways. I won't charge my labor for swapping shell.

[LupeValenz]

Use photobucket, good site for pictures and post them here :). Looks like ya got in a good buisness here ;) Didn't take long for request to be made ^_^

[DanT]

Thanks for the tip, Lupe. Yes, so far I sold a complete UX50 and a speaker.

Keep those parts order coming, guys.

[rcxAsh]

Wow, DanT! I seriously never would have thought I'd see that many UX50s in one place before. Out of curiosity, do you have any respectable UX50/UX40 batteries? My battery life is pretty abysmal right now, but I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to find a relatively pristine battery these days, considering the newest UX-series batteries would probably be at least 3-years old, which is already past the shelf-life of typical lithium-ion batteries, isn't it?

[DanT]

I have several new UX50/40 batteries. However they are not Sony. If you need one, I can sell it to you including the star screwdriver or I can replace your battery. Just send me a PM or an email.

Yes, Li-Ion battery shelf life is about 2 years, unless you store it properly (in a cool & dry place at 40-70% charge).

[SonyStyle]

wow lol thats amazing. do u have a excellent condition shell of the ux50 like no scratch?

[DanT]

Sorry, you're a little late. Tomcatt0 is already reserved it.

I do have one with very fine and few scratch (hardly visible) shell. You just need to PM or email me with your request and I'll reply it with pictures of the shell.

[gman]

Hello DanT....

My speaker..(actually my speaker wire broke at the connetor that attaches to the circuit board. Also... a couple of my keys (BS, E and the numbers 1,2,3 & 0) are sticking.. or I have to press on them very hard for them to respond!

How much do you charge to repair these problems?

Thank You,
Gary Mathews

[DanT]

gman, please check your PM. $60 for the job including shipping.

[DanT]

If anyone wants to charge your UX straight from car, home, PC, NoteBook, laptop, etc., without the cradle or EB40, just PM me. For more detail info, please read my posts in this thread (http://www.1src.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124223).

[Visceroid001]

woah nice... I'll look at two of my clie ux. One broken one working. I believe one has a damaged pcb but not sure if it is the lcd screen either. One of the two.

[edvargas83]

Hi, I need a digitizer, the LCD is good, but the digitizer does not work at all half screen.tks a lot

[Roach3600]

Hey,

Literally 15 minutes ago, the girl that lives across from me just walks in my room, picks up my ux50, and half throws it on the ground.

Sure it was an accident... but now it's busted.

I believe it is the back light, there is a large crack running down the center of the screen.

http://www.hexellent.com/files/57/DSC00078.JPG
(Sry, but my only camera is my ux, but you can see the area where the lighting is gone)

And now the hinge is also really loose.

What do i need?

[Drikus]

Hi, I need a digitizer, the LCD is good, but the digitizer does not work at all half screen.tks a lot


Had the same issue and found out that the digitizer is glued on the LCD module. So if you want to repair it you need both. With other sony clie's module it isn't glued on the LCD module, strangely with the ux it is.

[Gifted76]

I tried the Software "Jog Assist" fix, it doesn't work. Anybody else have any ideas. Thanks

[hudz]

anyone know how to fix the roller on the ux50. please respond.

[DanT]

I can just replace your broken roller with a good working one. I have a couple of those at the moment.

[hudz]

DanT,
The roller is not broken and rolls ok. The problem is that the roller does not sense it when being rolled. The button does sense it when pushed but the rolling part does not sense. I tried cleaning the connectors but still does not work. Please advice.
Hudz

[DanT]

The contacts could have been worn out and time for replacement.

[hudz]

DanT,
Is this something I can try to fix. How much for the part if you have it? Or how much for your service.
Thanks

[DanT]

Do you see the roller assembly on the bottom-left corner of the picture, below? The roller assembly includes a 4-pin ribbon tape that connects to the keyboard at a square white box, right above the top-right corner of the roller. All you need to do is to remove the 2 screws from the side of the roller and pull the 4-pin ribbon cable off the connector.

I can sell the parts for DIY or replace your broken one with a good one for you. The labor is free. The difference DIY and my service are shipping cost, time, and warranty. Shipping cost would be more expensive for returning your UX rather than just mailing the roller assembly. The time is a bit longer for you and I to mail your UX back and forth. I don't mean to be condescanding, I've learnt the hard way of seeing too many UX and TH motherboards got zapped by DIY's job, so I do not give warranty for parts sold for DIY job. However, I do give a 3-month warranty for my labor and parts that I install it myself.

If you want the parts or my repair service, please email or PM me.

Cheers,
Dan

DanT,
Emailed you!!!

[DanT]

hudz,
Got it and replied back.

[fmc159]

hi danT could you supply the power button for a ux50? i mean only the bit of plastic which slides to turn on the clie or or put it on hold, also the bit that goes along that edge and cover infrared port etc? basically i need the plastic on the left hand of the clie

[DanT]

Yes. I have 2. One is OK functionally, but has paint rubbed off on corners. The other is in very good condition. Just PM me if you are interested.

[akko69]

can I change my not-working wi-fi with a working one?
thanks

[DanT]

That requires a motherboard swap. I don't have a spare motherboard at the moment. Sorry.

[VernonK]

Hey Dan... I just sent you an email regarding a screen. On a field trip today with my daughter and I pull out my ux50 to take a picture and here my screen is busted. The backlight comes on great but all I see are some cracks and the blobs.

[DanT]

Sorry to hear that. I have one LCD left. Check your email.

[scarrell]

Dan, do you still have an lcd? I damaged my ux40. How much, etc? Or where can I get one if you don't have one...

[DanT]

Yes. Please check your email.

[VernonK]

Hey Dan... I wanted to thank you for taking care of my UX. For anyone considering having Dan fix yours I recommend him without a doubt.

I mailed off my UX to Dan (who by the way didn't charge me for fixing it) and had it back within a week. Cost he charged for the screen was MORE than reasonable.

Thanks again Dan!

[DanT]

:cool:

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear that.

Enjoy your UX.

:)

[macho_mango]

Hi,
My name is Albert, and I have got a ux50 where the screen no longer turns on if I have it flipped one way, but works fine when the screen is flipped the other way.
Would you know where or who might be able to help me out?
Thanks all

[DanT]

Welcome to 1src. Got your email too. I'll take a look at it when I receive the UX50.

[caseyatbt]

My flip screen is no longer straight it tips to the side a little bit. Does this mean something internally is bent. If so, is this repairable?

[DanT]

You mean the whole frame tilted, not the screen inside the frame?

[caseyatbt]

You mean the whole frame tilted, not the screen inside the frame?
Yes, the whole frame.

[DanT]

You could unscrew 4 screws around the frame, remove the frame & straighten the hinge plate with plyers.

[caseyatbt]

Thanks Dan, that was easier than I thought it would be. It worked great.

[DanT]

No problemo. I'm glad to hear you fixed it.

[sixftlion]

The right bottom corner, where I write the graffiti, seems all scratched and "used" and the text recognition is very very poor now. It's getting very irritating to write. Do I have to exchange the whole screen, or is there any easier solution? (Other than to switch to having the writing area on the left... i tried, it didn't work that well for other reasons).
Thanks for you advice,

Suzanna

Unlike non keyboard Clies (e.g., TH, TJ, SJ, etc.), the UX LCD & digitizer are glued tightly together. I would damage the expensive LCD in trying to repair the digitizer. The best way is to use your keyboard as much as you can. If you do want to replace the LCD assembly any way, just send me a PM & I'll do it.

[ixle]

Does anyone have a broken JC40 or EB40 that they want to sell? If the internals are missing or at a level of disrepair I am still interested.

[DanT]

I have JC40 (good working one) for sale, if you interested.

[ixle]

I have JC40 (good working one) for sale, if you interested.

I have two JC40 (one for home, one for work) so I don't need another working one. I am looking to tear into one for a project and don't want to part with either of my two good ones. Got any broken ones?

[DanT]

Nope. Sorry.

[exit_head]

hey dan, could i buy a single back plate screw from ya? or are you interested in a ux50 with one missing :P trying to sell it but its a hard sell when its missing a screw :P

[DanT]

I got the star screw and willing to buy your UX50 as is too. Just PM me.

[fmc159]

hi DanT do u have a ux50 charger for sale?

[Miek]

Hi Dan, just sent you an email regarding LCD&Digitizer.

[DanT]

Email is replied. ;)

[DanT]

hi DanT do u have a ux50 charger for sale?

Sorry to miss your posted question. Yes I do. Do you need the PEGA-AC10 only or PEGA-JC40, or both?

[Puppetteer]

Can I get a fog dial, or a broken UX with a working jogdial?

[Puppetteer]

sorry for the double post

Do you have any decent batteries and the extension battery?

[DanT]

I have jogdial & new battery. Just PM me for details. Happy Holidays. Dan

[Ishii]

Hello Dan, do you have a spare UX50 stylus and star screw for sale? Please pm me. Thanks.

[DanT]

No I don't at this time. Out of stock. Sorry.

[spectrablue]

hey Dan, would you happen to have the part that can replace the little end cap next to the camera? is it attached to the keyboard?

if not, do you know where i could find one?

[DanT]

Sorry, I just sold my last one. It is just a cap that is glued on the hinge. I usually look in ebay for broken UX & disassemble it & sell the parts to 1src members. Apparently these caps easily fall off. Now I have about 10 broken UX50s with no caps.

[VaioRepair]

-poke- hey dan, speaking of UX50's read ur PM's. :p

[DanT]

Sorry. I haven't checked the PM and replied them until just now.

[kkk70869413]

[DanT]

Sorry. Out of LCD at the moment. Thanks for asking.

[zhaoyankai]

You are great! How can I buy one display from you?
My e-mail :grishaw@bezeqint.net. I'm looking forward for your answer.

[MD_Brite]

A little off topic, do you have any parts for the TJ37?

[Snelling]

I read a post from earlier this year that you were out of the end cap next to the camera on the PEG-UX50. I was hoping that you had some now.

[redmew2008]

Do you have any fully-working Models? I don't mind about the condition. PM me, so we can discuss. Also, do you have any accessories for it?

[mrelectronix]

do you have any more would like to buy one or two ux 50

[DanT]

Sorry, no complete UX, no LCD, at the moment. Other repair parts may still be available. Just ask.

[sportfisio]

Hi, could you send me a disarming guide, please?
Thanks a lot!

[Nivalis]

Sent you a pm+email, just hoping i'm not too late ^^

Hello,
I am looking for the solder sheet that goes from the MS stick to the power juction for the power cradle to the mini usb. I was soldering a wire from the mini usb to the power cradle plug and broke the solder sheet.
Thanks,

[mainlinebilly]

I recently got a Sony Clie for myself but the LCD display doesn't work. I was wondering if you would be interested in a trade or if I could buy parts from you somehow. Please email me at: mainlinebilly@yahoo.com .
Thanks -Bill

[DanT]

I don't have spare LCD at this moment. Sorry. :(
