ive been buying and selling on ebay to try and rase enough money to buy a w900i, my p900 and 6600 are up for sale and when i saw a faulty d750 on ebay for cheap i had to put a bid in. the seller lead me to believe that the only fault with the phone was a broken camera shutter which in turn was stopping the camera from working. so me trying to make some profit bought the phone planning to re house the phone thus fixing the problem and then selling the phone on for profit to help me get the w900. the faulty d750 arrived today and what a shock i got, the housing was practically hanging off the phone, no box, no charger, no ms duo nothing and as the seller listed the fone as faulty he says he will accept no returns. i did the camera test from the "servuice test" menu and the screen was just black. does this mean the camera is Broken? do you think it will be worth my while to rehouse the phone buy charger and all other accessories and sell on without a box. i paid £95 for the heap thinking it came complete except from the fault.
if the camera is broken can a replacement be bought from anywhere at an acceptable price?
any help or comments welcome thanks.

I feel for you
Sounds like a dead duck to me.
Buying all the extras, and housing, and if that doesnt fix the problem, then also getting the camera to work, and selling it on, really doesnt sound like it could ever be worth the while.
Could be the shutter, could be the cameramodule, but could be a faulty pcb also. Whos to say, sounds like he tried some fixing himself and propably ruined more than he fixed and had to give up.
Personally I wouldent continue the project unless you know a good S//E technician willing to help you for cheap.

its not looking too good, the best thing you could do is relist is as faulty?
Did he list it with photos? if not theres not much you can do...

Can. You just complain to Ebay? You'll get your money back won't you?

thanks, yeah he listed with photos but from a distance and it looked ok.
looks like the w900 is on hold for now.(till my current contract runs out in 4 months)
i jst wish i knew wether the camera issue is a lost cause or not otherwise i would fix it and keep it for a while is i am now phoneless(after the 6600 and p900 are gone)
when i try to access the camera from the menu it says to open the shutter but there is no shutter there.
i would consider relisting as faulty but i doubt i would get the money back that i paid for it as i couldnt lead some1 to believe something if it wasnt true.
i have had a 2nd look at the page and he doesnt mention the box or anything i just took it for granted in the excitment of making a quick buck and getting that step closer top swivel action with the w900.
here is the link

the seller has a high feedback count with a fairy good positive feedback count so they might listen, despite the disclaimer
but I feel that you should probably make the best of this situation, get back what you can by selling it yourself or attempt to repair it yourself and put it all down to experience
shame that either way it will slow down your progress towards the W900

The condition was described as:
"It is in fairly good condition, with with only small marks or scratches on the front and back fascia"
If the case was hanging off like you said then he has misdescribed the phone. You should contact the seller first and if you dont get any luck with them then contact Ebay/ paypal.
On my W800i the screen goes black when you use the service test and the shutter is closed. I would have a look the shutter mechanism to see if the switch on the camera is ok.

the front view of the fone is too far away to make out much detail. and the back picture was blurry so couldnt see the gaps in the housing. i cant really be bothered with all the hassle of complaining through ebay and paypal i think i will just buy a w800 cover and start from there to repair it. but without the camera the phone is worthless really.
thanks for help and opinions guys.
