someone with a busted motherboard would surely benefit from it... think think!!!
have heard more than 10 ppl say wont charge or got screwed in radio update....
Yes, but this guy has a busted screen. I thought you were suggesting this as an option.
uuups, luckily I was able to sell all of my XDA with broken screen, I had 3pcs :roll: .... for the time being the problem is not existing

Monika, how do you manage to destry so many screens?

I dropeed my XDA 2 and it now has a big chunk of case missing near the on/off button. luckily (i think) its on the black plastic bit which seems to be fairly easy to get off,
but can anyone help me find spares?
I've been to the o2 site for help but that site is as much use as an ashtray on a moterbike if you ask me :x
Any help would be appreciated
Elmo
Check on e-bay to see if anyones is selling a dummy XDA 2 and change the casing over, short of that go to the O2 shop and see if they can put you in touch with anybody who can get the parts for you.
try http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm
see this for comments http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4070&highlight=screen+replacement
also search this site, I've seen many people who had their XDAs broken
Thanks for the ideas
I keep checking ebay for cases, broken units and such like but havent found anything so far..
I hadn't thought about the dummy unit...Funny thing is... I did see a dummy unit for sale just before i bought the real thing and it went for about a tenner :roll: . I think thats called 'sods law'
Also checked a few other sites using the link above and emailed some companys cheers for that.
I reckon there a market here for parts..... I mean as if they wont get dropped at some stage? You can get replacement pc/laptop cases and you dont walk round with them in your pocket do ya??
just need to find the company thats selling them and buy a shed load of them.
Maybe these will be of benefit to some people, a sort of dropping preventative:
https://www.egrips.com/catalog/prod...d=290&osCsid=31fe81c28fe1d8b6445ce6da229a745b
Failing that, super glue your device to your hand.
had the exact same thing happen to me - plastic above the on/off button. I tried poking some black electrical tape down there and it looked pretty good at a glance, until the tape's stickiness wore off.
Same thing here!
I managed to chip one small piece off the black antenna cover very close to the on/off button. But I used a small amount of my daughter's Play-Doh (molding clay) and carefully filled the small hole with that, then when it hardened, I painted it black with a permanent marker :wink:
It worked just fine.
However, I want to replace it as soon as the parts become available...
Best regards,
Rayan
Cool site this - 'BlueTack' wasn't mentioned once!

I have emailed you asking for more info
Hello-I need help finding a place that in the USA can repair my xdaII. I just dropped it on my marble floor -- OOPS! I thought you may have heard of a place for me to send it?? I believe I've broken the lcd & glass...it functions fine but has major cracks/shatter marks thoughout the screen...Let me know if you can help & thank you
Does the BlueAngel use the same screen as the Himalaya? I need to know cos I've checked ebay and the only screens available are for the xda II which is the Himalaya... I have been to ppctechs.com but because I am based in the UK I don't want to risk sending my unit all the way to the US + it's a stupid price to fix the phone.
Well, either that or I'm getting a new phone...

No. At least not the same as a complete "product", because the cable is different.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
You should check your board ID first

Glad I stumbled across this then....
Just to throw in another extra; how's about the Alpine (XDA 2i?). That seems to be from the outside anyways a himalaya with WiFi and a faster CPU + bigger camera... can I transfer a himalaya screen to an Alpine?
I know that all screens past the wallaby have the same res and number of colours (I must confess, I thought they would be all interchangeable! ) Screens are appearing from foreign lands on Ebay for about £80 I think there was one for the 2s - just to help OP!
So in round-up. Can I use a himalaya screen in an alpine, as I now know I can't put one in a BA? Or can I use a BA in an alpine? so in even shorter roundup =- are ANY of these screens swappable?! :shock:

There is no hardware information on Alpine available No motherboard pictures, nothing.
Probably some information can be gathered from the haret.exe program
available here

Dear fellow xda-devs,
After some discussion with mikechannon in our diagnosis thread, we came to a conclusion that my Hermes camera is actually broken. I can't live without it on my phone as I'm a guy who loves spontaneous photography. I can shoot on practically anything, anytime. A standalone camera is too expensive for me. I'm just a student and my Hermes practically used up my savings.
So here I am, appealing to all Hermes users who have a bricked/faulty/extra/spare/not-in-use to donate/spare/sell me their Hermes camera at a bargain.
Thanks in advance.
P.S - I live in Malaysia

Hi
As it happens I have one I could donate, BUT the postage costs might be expensive from UK to Malaysia.
Perhaps wait to see if someone closer has one for you.

Hmm, maybe cause this thread is in the Hermes accessories section. Not enough exposure. Lol
..
Check at lelong.com.my u might get sumtin from there..
maybe buy this just posted one for spare parts...

hey there.
nah, ive checked lelong. every other day i'll browse lelong n ebay to kill time. thanks for your response.
hey hey,
yeah i saw that post too. there are tons of faulty devices out the that i can make use of, but money has always been the culprit stopping me from doing so..
lol
btw mike, i was wondering how much will the shipping be from Uk to Malaysia for small packets? Cause last week, i bought a pair of stylus and the shipping is only a couple of pounds. I was thinking that if you were to donate, i think it is only fair that i cover your shipping cost

Hi all,
I think I've searched all sites I know of but am still unable any that offer faceplates or complete housings for our Touch HD (yes, I'm one of those who have the issue with the coating of the faceplate)
Does anyone have a good reliable source which could have them yet?
Thanks in advance.
www.pda-parts.nl
Thanks, but that's one of the sources I know. They don't seem to have what I need.
Or maybe my Dutch is so bad that I cannot search efficiently?
for anyone reading this.. i think he means.. replacement housing for the phone.. the actual pieces from the phone.. NOT extra phone cases or covers..
Of course, I need a replacement faceplate. I thought it was clear enough
i know its .....
probably not what you'll want to hear, but your probably not going to find anywhere other than htc for replacement housing, they'll keep those moulds well under raps.
then your faced with the warranty validity if you manage to source some parts. who's ur service provider, and i'm sure you'll get a warranty replacement due to your devices freezing up / locking all the time. contact them and moan!
i'm sure someone, somewhere will be able to replace due to its software faults!

I got my new case from Shenzhen (free of charge, but my Chinese partners had to pay for it here: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/218220985/housing_for_HTC_touch_HD.html ), but I still haven't had time to visit a service center
I dropped my Dell from like knee level on floor..
and ..
and.. the screen LCD gave away !!
The case is NEW !! the screen is NEW !!
and the LCDs inside are damaged in the corner!!
The buggers...
I will try calling the Dell CC.
Till then, is it safe to use the Streak like that!
YOu all think they will replace it??
I have seen mixed responses here at forum..
I am here in Bangalore, India.

I add to the bandwagon who are asked,
" How do you drop a $400 phone ? " !!!

Awww Mann!
care,
Sony.
Dude, did you not get some kind of cover ? I am so paranoid, I didn't use my phone till I got my Otterbox Commuter.
SOrry for your loss.
Did you buy it here in India (with warranty) or bought it from US (like I did)
Ya.. Dooms here!
Ya, I bought it from US only
Scream: Noooooooooo !!
You are right in being Paranoid..
I am really to be damned!
I called up dell, and they say they cant help as its from US !!!
and that International warranty does not apply in India!!!
I dont know, but, Since, I am in Bangalore, I will try to have a visit to the Service Centre.
But, I do not hope much from that!
Can anyone help?
ahh,
Care,

Thanks for that..
But, again.
If any warranty solution is available. I would want it to work, before I am compelled to !
so, I guess.. There is no one here in Dell.
(Or anyone from India.. who has done it?)
Care,
Sony.
You can exchange it with Dell for a Refurbished for $250.00 if you are the registered owner or replace the lcd yourself for around $100.00.
Those are your options. Calling Dell other than to do an out of warranty exchange for 250.00 would be a waste of time since this would not be covered under the normal warranty.
My Otterbox Defender should be here today to protect my newly replaced screen.. .
May I can make you a little better...
Just take a look at the picture...

Like I said,
I am in India, and I dont think I will be making any US trip soon!
So, the exchange / replacement at $250 is not in scope currently!
I am serious about the 100 bucks replacement screen, but, again,
Like I said, It will be like 200 bucks here in India.
That's the problem!
Thanks for your input.

Hey mate,!
I looked at the pic.
that does not make me feel better!!
I am even more sad, that you have a Smashed-up Streak too!!
I agree my damage is not as bad as yours.
I mean I can still operate the phone and all.
(I dont know if its safe to use it like that?!!, Is it?)
Two questions:
Are you from India (Or any country which does not have good Dell support!)?
What did you do about the damaged screen?
Edit: I was trying to check for the replacement screen from ebay, but, the 100 bucks screen does not ship to India!!!
If any of them does.. Puhleeez, let me know!

@All: Please take care of your streak! , Use it like it is your laptop.!
So I'm a computer engineer, Brazilian, living in UK.
That phone belong to my friend fat ass 150 kilos, he few weeks ago brake the glass in 3 parts while play futebol, 5 days ago he come to me almost crying, he just sit on the phone, he said when felt the phone he lift but 150 kilos huge fat ass you can imagine.
I see on ebay for £80 glass, screen and tools, I'm thinking about buy and change by myself.
On that link http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1 you can see how to open easy, and a quick look on the web can found videos where show what to do.
I think if you can see the screen, still working why not keep using the phone whyle you can ?
That is some funny ****.....fat ass....lol
Call the shop that I have listed in my guide. Maybe they can ship it. I even think they may be from India or email them.

The more I see of these cracked screen reports the more I wonder how long before a class action lawsuit is filed against Dell for this problem. Gorilla Glass be damned.
About what I see already the original case is so week, first problem the streak was droped on the floor from about 1 metre, that was enough to made a smal crack on the glass, so week unfortunately
