Those N80s are currently going for just over £33, I'm keeping an eye on them as they sound good! Though of course I've not got my next phone in the experiment, though time will tell whether it was a good buy or a foolish one.

It's more likely a foolish one however if you are confident you can get it up and running after you have ex-changed the display the so be it
the N80's though you need these cos you can flog them over £200
make a bid Sammy at last min hope you win them

Oh no, DISASTER!
Got the K800i today, took it apart, put the new screen in, and it's not powering up. At all. No red flashing LEDs, not even a WSOD. Looks like the phone isn't getting power from the battery or something.
It looks like the seller had tried to fix it, there were two screws missing as well as the facia power button, and a mark where someone who obviously didn't have a clue what they were doing dug a screwdriver in to try to take the phone apart. Also, not sure if this came from it's fall or whether this is more incompetence by whomsoever tried to take the phone apart, but the camera microswitch is broken off and there's damage around the flash area.
I hate it when people aren't entirely honest in their listing, I strongly suspect this person tried to fix the phone, and either it was beyond fixing or they broke it further when attempting to take it apart. I was hoping this was a 'virgin' phone, i.e. a faulty one which someone had dropped, it broke and they stuck it on ebay - I tend to avoid the ones where someone has tried to repair the phone for this exact reason.
There seem to be very few useable parts on this phone for if I sell it for spares, it looks like I'll be making a loss on this when reselling, even with the new LCD included.

That's the other problem, faulty phones are nomally listed as 'no returns', and if I query anything the seller would play dumb. I'll just have to take the loss on the chin and carry on!

1) See whether you get a response from a service tool(XS++, SETool, DaVinci, etc...)......not the easiest things to kill, SEs.....
2) JUST main board/cam, with screen and battery attached, SHOULD POWER UP on their own!
Therefore:
1)+2) both good = great! Rebuildable phone!
1) only good = screen naff
2) only good = charger port naff
0 good = 5% both of the above, 95% phone naff
From personal experience......HTH......

Tried powering it up whilst partially disassembled, no response when plugged into a charger, it's not recognising my data cable (though I've not tried the service cable and Wotan/XS++ etc. yet) will try that later!
Cheers for the tips Aware, let's hope it's not dead, I suspect it had quite a heavy fall looking at it.

The N80s went for £136 in the end!
Tried this K800i with my service cable and no joy, not recognised at all. I'm now on the last throw of the dice, sprayed it with the miracle liquid that is WD-40!
If that doesn't work, the phone's being listed on Ebay, lets hope I get most of my money back.
