What Happens If My Pandora Breaks?

[Shock-Socks]

ok, so i know about the like 1 year warranty that will replace a defective pandora, but what if i accidentally break the screen or something, how do i get repairs?

 

[lulzfish]

I think OP intends to sell replacement parts like the screen and board eventually and let people go at it themselves, or you can have a friend go at it.

My option would be to commit ritual suicide.
Or to set it up as a headless web server permanently.

Most companies normally replace defective parts as you said and then if you damage it yourself they will replace the damaged part for a price. Don't know if this is the case with the OpenPandora team but it would seem like the best way to do it. That's assuming they have spare parts leftover when everything is said and done.

We plan to sell spares of all parts, inc the case, hinges, lcd screens, buttons, keymats, nubs, lcd cables, everything.

awesome! do you think you could give me a quick run down of what the different prices are for the different parts? thanks

i want a spare case for modding and painting

 

[craigix]

There isn't anything priced yet, but it will be similar to parts for other machines.

i can understand modding, but painting?!? why would you want to do that, the pandora is already so beautiful as it is. just my opinion i guess

 

[droneb]

Hmm, maybe I should order some parts and build mine from the ground up :lol:

'less I missed it, there have been no photos of the official case plastic's color yet. I might paint and mod a spare case of my own sometime, too.

you should think to massively increase the lcd price, or you'll get serious legal problem once lot of people start to add a second screen to their pandora

 

[Jourdy288]

Why not let them do that? I can think of a lot of one screened-clamshell devices... And we could win the impending lawsuit

On a side note, Nintendo is vicious with regard to third-party emulation it seems...

 

[Poem58]

I wish I had modding skills, I'd add a screen in/on the back of the lid so as to make drawing and surfing easier. As it is I would be too afraid to even try adding the extra shoulder buttons! lol

Edit: I know for some of you that sounds stupid, but I have carpal tunnel in both hands and they shake a lot, it even causes me trouble when I simply play games, but I plan on never stopping!

To be fair, Craig said the prices will be similar to spares for other devices; that insinuates quite high prices to begin with! (Not that there is anything wrong with that)

Ah we won't rape you on the prices, but they will be there for us to gain some cash back on the huge investment we have all made. You get the Pandora under cost price, we get profit in the spares

I have no idea why some don't understand: cost, time, manufacturing, cost, delivery, cost, investment, cost. And the whole thing of price vs' availability.

If it costs 10 dollars to make, they want it sold at $10.1, even though there is no income there, they want it that way, even if it farks you.

Some people need to take some economic classes.

Edit: to be frank and surly.
