Hi
I've used screws taken from an old Nokia 5110 or 5130 portable. There are many other models, where you can "steal" the screws, but you have to shorten them a bit, because they are too long.

I have been having problems with the touchscreen and this is a last ditch effort to fi x it.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to clean out the area around the screen. I have tried blowing it, and canned air but that hasn’t work so far.
I want to open up the T-mobile and clean it. Does anyone have any advice?? I am trying to find the FCC’s photos as a reference. Much thanks, I have learned quite a bit from this forum and I appreciate everyones help.
I'll start with assembly advice--be careful of the position of the on/off button relative to the switch below it as you snap the case back together. Don't ask me how I learned this... :shock:
The connector for the large ribbon cable from the screen has a flip-up cover/retainer, not the standard sliding retainer like the other cables.
There is a screw under a "Warranty Void if removed" sticker which must be removed. If you use a pen knife and a steady hand, you can remove the sticker and put it back. The sticker is one of those fragmented ones, so you must be extremely careful and slow.
Work on a soft surface (anti-stat mat, table cloth, etc) so parts that fall out don't bounce/roll and get lost.
Cover the screen face so you don't damage it accidentally.
Thanks! that helps......I am going to give it a try tommorrow...
One more question........the screws on the top of the XDA are standard flathead.......but the bottom two look hexagon shape...or sort of like a allen wrench...anyone know what to use to unscrew these????
It's a Torx, not sure what size. I think a T4, based upon the fact that my T5 was slightly too big. I ended up using a 1mm hex key which I had filed lightly on two of the sides.

Do yourself a favour and get the right Torx. You have no idea what a pain these things are to remove if they ever lose their teeth. It's a T-8, at least that's what it says on mine.
hi,
if u r not ,that, expert,,,,,,do not try to open it,,,go to some service center and get it cleaned.
or there would be an increase in posts ''xda not working ''
That's weird, I wonder if they used different size screws here in the US? I was wrong though, it's a T7 that was too big, so the right one would be T5 or T6 then for mine. Peter Poelman, you're in the Orient, are you not? Ever compare screw sizes with European units?
I usually agree with the "right tool" advice, but I was simply unable to find one anywhere (and I tried all the proper tool and electronics shops). The 1mm slightly shaved fit PERFECTLY with no damage to the screws at all.

I'm in Europe. Smack in the formal magical center of it. Now where that nice torq and screwdriver set is from, I don't know...
torx
the torx on mine are T6 same as ericsson phones and ipaq ppc.
hi guys! bought a tytn off ebay and the seller sent me one which was completely disassembled. so my point is where can i buy the torx screws(not screw driver) for the tytn? i need them to seal the parts together.
thanks
Just ask for them in your next Elektronic Store. They should be able to order them.
Its T6 Torx but i don't know the lenght exactly, but i could measure it, if u want.
my case is hinged on ONE screw now! the first was lose i'd been tightening it from time to time. eventually it fell out unbeknownst to me. now the 2nd fell out. so i've got 1 left! urgh!
Need HELP as I have lost screws on both sides of BA. Can I use such other screws as eyeglasses' than BA's genuine screws, which are hard to find in my country?, and which size of screw is best fit with BA's?
i cannot tell for sure, which screws you are missing and what screws you want to take as a generic replacement, but a suggestion:
here you'll find the official htc blueangel service manual:
http://printer1.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-blue-angel-service-manual.html
on page 53 there is a spare part list, also containing the measurements and names of the screws, googling them or asking in a local hardware store might help you.
plus, as probably by the names you don't know if those are the specific ones you're missing, refer to page 57/58, where you find photos of the screws.
Many thanks.
They are exactly what appear in last picture of page 26 i.e. 2 screws on the side of units
I've tried to map with picture frame in page 58, but not sure between these 2, which are:
Frame#28 (P/N: 72H00642-00M = SCREW,M1.6*3,Flat-sinkheadwithTorxrecess,H)
Frame#33 (P/N: 72H00441-00M = SCREW,TORX,FLAT,M1.6X4.5mm,BLACK,Pb-FREE)
And if I want to find the substituted screws, how can I explain their size to the store? For example, how to read the size of 'M1.6*3mm'? Please advise.
i can't tell you exactly, which one it is, although now i know which ones you were referring to. i think it is #28, because of the sinking head and the color, all the device's internal screws are black but those are silverish.
in case it is #28:
72H00642-00M is the HTC part number, that can become expensive ordering from them.
if you want to contact a local retailer, the rest of the information is relevant, you look for a torx screw, with a sinkhead and the metric measurements M1.6X3mm, meaning, without the head, the screw has a diameter of 1.6mm and is 3mm long.
maybe you should check electronics shops, computer shops, maybe handicrafts shops for that, and when you found a retailer having that general kind of screws, test them.
the only difference between the 2 types of screws you posted, is the length and the type of head, and i think you can simply try it out. try the longer one first, if it doesn't go in, take the shorter one. easy thing.
good luck with that.

Will be 1.6 dia by 3mm long. I lost those screws over 2 years ago and have never replaced them, phone has not fallen apart and still works fine!

same here. it seems a little bit shaky though.
so I just have to look for a screw with 1.6mm diameter and 3mm long?

Yes and if at all possible, avoid torch type screws (at least I think that's what they are called), which are the ones that require a start headed screw driver (not talking about phillips)

you are lucky my friend..
my phone fell to the floor once, and started hard reseting by itself from time to time, took it to a shop for fix and the guy lost this 2 screws and my phone ended useless reseting again and again, but because of this, found that the problem was in the case so i super glued the area were the case was loose because of this 2 screws and phone started working again.
i bought a cdma BA for parts but the screws are not the same (or this technic guy broke the tread) so it have no screws on the side, and after superglue no auto hard resete.
It's definitely the m1.6x3 torx sinkhead; you need a T5 screwdriver.
Of course you can also use other screws- e.g. crossrecess-
but i think torx look the best.
Following eBay-item contains a sheet which shows the meaning
of m1.6x3

Without a doubt . . . .
There were some discussions at the old Omate forum, but no confirmation on the actual specification for the back-plate and SIM screws.
As the threads are very easy to wear-out, it is not unreasonable to have to replace them every time opening the cover.
The screws seem to be difficult to find. It may be possible to get them at an Optican. Other than that, they can be ordered from something like aliexpress. The screws are normally in lots of 100 to 1000 pieces. While the cost for each screw is low, Fedex cost many times the package cost. So it is good to have the specifications confirmed early, so China Air Mail can be used.
With dimensions and a supply settled, there may be unofficial "national distribution centers".
I have a de-threaded back-plate screw and have assumed some data below
Dimension: (M1.4)
Pitch: (0.3mm (coarse, 0.2 is fine but unusual)) (There seem to be 9 threads on 3mm, so 0.3mm seem reasonable)
Back Length: 3mm
SIM length: 2 mm
Head size: 2 mm
Holes are about .5mm longer than screws and 2.1mm diameter
Quality: "Soft" (not stainless/titanium, to decrease risk that housing threading is damaged) Nickelplated OK?
I found a couple of suppliers. Those with best fit seem to have 2.5mm head. It should be possible to adjust head and length...
Cost is $6 for 200 pieces, shipping with air-mail about the same.

Great info. I am needing some new back plate screws. Would you mind posting the link to the online supplier?

I do not think xda rules allows posting of direct links.
I got the screws from ebay, seller bohwu, 50 pieces. Fast and cheap.
Just search for "m1.4x4" to find more suppliers.
But it would be interesting f someone finds a good supplier for 2mm heads.
As the heads are not perfectly round after adjusting, it would be good if someone found a supplier.
All sources I found on ebay and those I looked at aliexpress either listed 2.5mm heads or had no size and a picture indicating more than 2mm.
Can you guys confirm the screws the back cover and sim card slot use then? I need to get some spare as you said the heads get easily damaged. I can't even get my backcover off! To prevent damaging the head I've just ordered a proper screw driver as the supplied one is rubbish. Have only managed to take the sim card cover off. The backplate is put on too tight.
Get the back cover off somehow, drilling the heads off the cheap screws it was assembled with if necessary, then replace the screws with the spares that came in the same little bag as the crappy screwdriver-like-object. They are better quality, but be sure you only touch them with a good ph000 driver.

Hi guys,
I repaired my Poco F1, but I lost screws.
I marked in the picture where the screws are, maybe someone knows what kind of screws they are.
i think no one could help about screw here
but maybe you need to bring your poco to local authorized xiaomi service center
All I remember from the last time I had the back off mine is that they're tiny
Suggest you either pull apart an old phone see if has the same sized screws or buy a pack of multiple sizes like this link https://a.aliexpress.com/_rv5CRC though that would be a fairly obscene waste of hundreds of tiny screws
Ask at a repair shop and be more careful next time?
