i just lost a pine64 pinephone auction for around $110 due to a server thing, can you find me a similar price for a working or nonworking pinephone 1 hour ago As of October 2025, finding a used or non-working PinePhone for $110 or less is difficult due to limited availability, with most original models being sold or out of stock . The current used market sees prices above that amount. Your best option for a low price will likely be a third-party marketplace like eBay, where you can find new listings or watch for new auctions. Where to look for a PinePhone eBay While you lost the previous auction, eBay is still the most likely place to find a PinePhone at a price close to your target. You can filter search results to show "Sold Items" to see what they have recently gone for, which will help you know a good deal when you see one. A recent listing for a used PinePhone KDE Community Edition, for instance, received 10 bids and sold for $73.00, plus delivery. Pine64 Forums The official Pine64 forums include a "Buy/Sell/Trade" section where users post devices for sale. Prices here can vary, but sellers are often fellow enthusiasts who may be more flexible on price. You may also be able to find devices in a non-working condition here, which was one of your requests. Reddit The r/pinephone subreddit also has users posting that they are "Looking to buy used Pine phone". You may be able to find devices in non-working condition and at a cheaper price. It is worth posting a similar "ISO" (in search of) request to see if anyone is willing to sell one. Bitcompact Bitcompact is a small online store that sometimes sells PinePhones and accessories. They currently list a PinePhone Bundle for $299.95, so this would be a more expensive option than what you're looking for, but it is an option to consider if other sources don't pan out. Things to consider Original vs. Pro: Be aware of the distinction between the original PinePhone and the more powerful PinePhone Pro. The Pro version was more expensive and is now discontinued, with a very limited supply of refurbished models. It will be nearly impossible to find a Pro at your target price. Linux operating system: Unlike typical smartphones, the PinePhone runs a mainline Linux OS rather than Android. Be aware that the software is not as polished as what you might be used to. Condition: Since you mentioned being open to a non-working model, you should be able to find a device for cheaper. Be sure to check the seller's terms and be clear on what you are purchasing. I’m really just looking for parts, can you link me to a hardware troubleshooting guide to help me figure what I actually need 1 hour ago Hardware troubleshooting resources You can find several valuable hardware troubleshooting resources for the PinePhone from the official PINE64 project and repair-focused sites like iFixit. PINE64 Documentation: The official PINE64 wiki has a comprehensive troubleshooting page that covers common issues related to the battery, booting problems, and software errors. The wiki also contains information on specific repairs, such as fixes for the USB-C port and SIM card reader. iFixit Repair Wiki: The PinePhone64 troubleshooting wiki on iFixit includes step-by-step instructions for diagnosing issues like the phone not powering on, a battery that won't charge, or a screen that remains blank. PINE64 Forums: For more specific or uncommon issues, the PINE64 forums are an active community where you can search for or ask for help with hardware problems. Potential problem areas to investigate Before you order any replacement parts, it's best to narrow down the cause of the problem using the available troubleshooting guides. Common failure points include: Battery issues: If your PinePhone won't turn on, the battery may be completely drained. Try charging it for an extended period, or if possible, use an external charger. You can also test the voltage of the battery itself, though PINE64's documentation warns against shorting the contacts. Software issues: Boot problems can sometimes be mistaken for hardware faults. Check the troubleshooting guide on how to re-flash the OS using an SD card and Jumpdrive, which can help diagnose if the issue is with your phone's software or the embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) storage. Faulty USB-C side board: If the phone isn't charging, or if the speaker or microphone aren't working, the USB-C side board may be the cause. This is a common point of failure and is replaceable. Modem kill switch: A simple solution to no cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity is that one of the hardware kill switches has been accidentally toggled. You can find these switches underneath the back cover. Where to find PinePhone replacement parts Once you have identified the faulty component, you can order new parts directly from the PINE Store.
