Flip the screen - Computers & Internet

Flip outs are generally very fragile due to the nature of the hinges and cables used in the screen and main unit. The only thing I would recommend is to trash the flip out and put a full double din or a standard single din radio.

you need the imei # of the phone the rim # just lets people know exactaly whats in the phone example

81xx - Suretype, Non Flip, Camera
82xx - Suretype, Flip, Camera
83xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, Camera
85xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, Camera, Expanded Internal Memory
88xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, No Camera, GPS, GSM
89xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, Camera, High Res Screen, Expanded Internal Memory
90xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, GPS, Camera, High Res Screen, Expanded Internal Memory, 3G, WiFi, Video Recording
95xx - Touch Screen, Non Flip, GPS, Camera, High Res Screen, Expanded Internal Memory, Video Recording, GSM, 3G
96xx - QWERTY, Non Flip, Camera, High Res Screen, Expanded Internal Memory, GSM, 3G

And now the last 2 digits
xx00 - Base Model, No modifications
xx10 - GPS, GSM, Video recording
xx20 - WiFi, GSM, Video Recording
xx30 - CDMA, EVDO, Video Recording, GPS
xx50 - CDMA, EVDO, Video Recording, WiFi, GPS

the phone you got for example would be a "Non Flip, Camera, High Res Screen, Expanded Internal Memory" the other numbers in the rim also tell more about the phone. but a persons phone # can not be found using this #

Question is, can you?

Motrola flip phones are tricky especially when replacing the flex cable or flip.

Let the experts do the job for you.

either call Motorola or go to a local repair shop.

At least the following works on my first generation Flip Ultra camcorder (not Mino). Remove battery, put it back next morning. After that be careful not to touch "on" slider switch on the side of the camcorder while Flip logo is still on the screen. I mean turn the device on by using the slider switch and do not touch that switch again until Flip logo on the screen is gone. Doing the opposite (trying to use the "on" switch again while device is still "booting" and Flip logo is on the screen) will lead to the Flip Ultra freeze.

check the connection between mother board and the screen.Its a flex/ribbon cut-not working anymore.better to replace a new flex/ribbon for you Flip BB.

If you're tech savy you can use a blackberry repair guide that will show you how to disassemble it step by step and replace the screen, the screen is available on Ebay or you can go to the repair service.

You can find blackberry flip 8230 and 8230 LCD screen replacements on ebay. Took a while but they are available now.

They are a little tricky to replace but not to hard.

Check out the guide I wrote for replacing the blackberry flip LCD display screen. There are also links to by the new pearl flip LCD screens
