When it comes to a broken iPhone, the first instinct can be to head to the store for a brand new one. There is something alluring about freshly wrapped electronic goods, with their untouched pureness and their pristine, unscratched surfaces. However, there is nothing worse than tossing out a perfectly good iPhone just because some minor internal feature need repair. The truth is when a broken iPhone is taken back to the store a repair may not always be what is offered, and the sales or customer service team may be instructed to push you towards a new phone. When the repair is something small, like an iPhone 2G SIM card tray, the way to go is to buy iPhone parts online and make the fix right at home.

There are many reasons why someone might wish to replace an iPhone 2G SIM card try. It might be dirty causing data interference or improper functioning. The SIM tray may be lost, or otherwise broken, cracked or damaged. Some people worry that new parts will not work in their existing broken iPhone, however a new iPhone 2G SIM card tray is fully compatible with all original phone functions. Better yet, a new iPhone 2G SIM card tray will not interfere with communication between the phone and the network, and is thin enough to fit with a SIM car into the iPhone SIM socket.

By going online it is easy to find a wide variety of iPhone parts. An iPhone 2G SIM card tray is available from many different websites with a wide range of prices. Buyers should look for the lowest possible price from the most reputable source. The best part about replacing an iPhone 2G SIM card tray instead of buying a new phone? This easy repair can be done solo, at home, and the part generally costs just a few dollars! That's a whole lot of savings shaved of the price of a brand new phone.

It is possible to buy all kinds of iPhone parts online, not just the iPhone 2G SIM card tray. Other common iPhone replacement parts are the battery, front panel, display assembly, antenna cover, USB charger, the earpiece speaker, the LCD screen, the mic & speaker phone modules, the dock assembly the mainboard assembly, the SIM car holder, the wireless antennae & antennae pad, the camera modules, and more.

Still not convinced that fixing up your old iPhone is the way to go? Keep in mind that today electronic goods are filling up landfills with more and more toxic chemicals every year. These chemicals are slowly leaking into the ground water and soil, at an alarming rate. Even though there are programs that allow you to donate or recycle your old iPhone, many programs still do not have the ability or resources to dispose of electronic goods in the correct way. Until electronic goods have the visibility of motor oil or batteries in terms of proper disposal, it is likely they will continue to fill up garbage dumps around the world. Be part of the solution by switching to buying and selling old iPhones and iPhone parts. Remember reusing is a form of recycling too!

Digital Camera Repair Problem #2 - Broken Lens

Digital camera lens repair is as common as LCD repair, but it's #2 on my list because it's harder to repair and there are so many different types of lens problems whereas a broken LCD is a broken LCD no matter how you look at it.

Here are some basic tips to avoid breaking your lens:

- Do not leave the batteries in your camera in the camera bag. The power button can be pressed accidentally causing the lens to extend and get jammed because it cannot open properly inside the bag.
- Try not to drop the camera with the lens extended.
- Don't ever pull or twist on a lens that is not working 100% properly, you will just break it.

I would have to write a book to fully explain lens problems fully (hmm.. maybe a good idea!) so I will try and keep it simple and informative.

The lens is made up of many different parts... Let's start with the several pieces of glass referred to as the lens elements.

The outer lens element is prone to being scratched and scuffed, and usually has a special coating on it that you DO NOT want to clean off with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), or Windex or something similar. It's not the end of the world, and don't worry about it if it's missing. Just keep the lens clean (why are there fingerprints on your lens anyway??) and scratch free.

The inner-most lens element is responsible for the fine focus and resides directly in front of the CCD. When you press the shutter button half way down to focus, this part moves forwards and backwards till it's in the correct position and your image is in focus. You won't be messing with this part of the lens... unless you feel like removing the lens from the camera and then tearing down the lens to get at it's 'guts'. It's kinda fun the first time, but uh... I wish you luck getting it back together properly. The tearing apart stuff is fun, the putting it back together is a drag!

The lens has two small motors with their own gears that connect to the two main parts of the lens. The larger motor drives the lens barrel in and out when zooming. The smaller motor drives the fine focus element mentioned above and controls the focus. If you get ONE GRAIN of sand in these gears, they will jam and the lens will "error out" as we like to say. Open it up and clean it out if you like, but it's not easy. Typically the main motor of the lens has 5-6 different gears that must be set and aligned properly to function. But hey, your lens is already jammed, why not see how it works, right?

Then there is the CCD, "charge-coupled device" which translates the light that enters the lens into a digital signal that the camera can record.

There was a very large CCD recall by Sony over the past few years that covers many manufacturers and not just Sony, as Sony provided the CCDs to many others for their cameras. The defective CCD's cause the camera to take solid black photos, or purple/pink "dripping paint" photos, or they have repeating white horizontal or verticle lines on the images. If your camera does this, call the manufacturer and tell them you want a repair under the CCD recall no matter how old your camera is! IF it's on the list, you might get your camera repaired for free.

Got spots on your images that get bigger and smaller as you zoom in and out? Most likely there is a spec of dust on your CCD. You will need to remove the lens and then remove the CCD from the back of the lens and clean it off. Don't lose the gasket that goes around the CCD, don't get any other dirt inside the lens and don't leave any fingerprints! Tall order I know, sorry, I'm demanding. =)

Let's see... what else? Your lens is part way out, stuck at an angle becuase the camera was dropped while turned on. Now please read that carefully; the lens must be stuck part way out or all the way out, and one section of the lens MUST be stuck at an angle. The lens must not move freely at all for this section to apply, and you may follow this advice AT YOUR OWN RISK. The following repair trick works, but I am not repsonsible for your actions or anything you do to your camera.

Ok, it's stuck at an angle. Hold the camera with the angled part of the lens resting against the edge of a table, and the rest of the camera hanging over the side. Do not place the camera facing down with the "Canon Zoom Lens..." chrome ring section flat on the table. The rounded edge of the lens must be what makes contact here. Now... here is the tricky part... press the angled part of the lens back into alignment by pushing down on the lens on the edge of the table. Put your fingers on the LENS below the angled part to support it and press firmly but still gently (how do I do that? I don't know.. you just do it) and the lens will either POP!! back into place and work perfectly or it won't budge and no harm will be done, -OR- one of the "guide pins" that run inside a small track in the lens barrel will break off and you have just destroyed the lens.

I told you it was at your own risk!! Camera repair is fun... right?

Ok, how are we feeling about lenses? I think we have covered most of the basic problems, and I hope this helps you to get your camera repaired more quickly and cheaply!

What is an LCD and what happens when it is broken?

Sorry, but I don't know much about these things. I am referring to a digital camera. So what happens when the LCD is broken on a digital camera?

LCD stands for liquid crystal display, which has, you guest it, liquid crystals in it. They are used every where in t.v's, digital alarm clocks, phones, digital cameras (as you already know) and much much more. If the lcd broke on a camera, you MIGHT be able to use it, I don't know, so don't sue me if you get injured trying it (not that it's very likely). O yah, when broken, I'm just guessing, but I don't think it would work. the screen, I mean.
