Help!! Need a replacement screen for my BA anybody have a spare or know where to get a replacement screen for a reasonable price.Not sure how I broke it but there is a crack down the center of the screen and now it w'ont work.
I am really sorry for you. I cracked my iPAQ screen a while ago and found a replacement at ipaqrepair.co.uk....but I guess they are only for iPAQs
I know how you must feel
Thanks will check it out anyway and yes totally gutted I use the BA for everything like having my right arm cut off ,
Have noticed that it is only the glass that is cracked it is not bleeding at all and i think that the digitizer is only mlfunctioning because of the crack is it possible just to replace the glass panel and not the lcd display?
Try calling HTC Europe at 08712-23-0217. Leave a message and they will call you back in a day time. Just tell them your problem and see how much would they charge for it. I've got my under warranty HTC Charmer to them TWICE for some speaker/motherboard problem, and so far so good. Their service is better than I expect from a Taiwan company.

Yes it is, there are 2 distinct types of digitiser though, the sony and the toppolly one. There is another poster selling just a digitiser, I went into more detail in that thread. HTCEurope a: won't repair and XDA IIs and b: won't swop just the digitiser, they swop the entire LCM assembly.

Just been quoted £125 to repair the screen by a company called Apex, trouble is the phone only cost me £150 in my book thats beyond econmical repair if it was a car it would be a write off.I think it will have to be an insurance job (get a free one with bank account) unless someone comes up with a reasonable price on a used one.

The sony one he has can be 'widenend' to fit any LCD so it doesn't matter what's in your phone - just remove the warranty seal completley - the odds are they won't repair your handset they'd just replace anyway if you claim on insurance as they would have to use new parts - no trawling ebay for them to fix your phone....
Richard
Well guys sent my BA off to the insurance company and had a phone call today said they could not repair or replace it, and then THEY DESTROYED MY PHONE and then they said they can give me a cash settlement or the choice of Nokia n91 or the n90 what do you guys think, what should I go for? and more to the point how much would the cash settlement be as you can no longer get the blue angel anymore new that is.
Anybody been in this situation would not mind the n91 but it is not satnav capable at the moment and I need this capability.
Check the prices on somewhere like expansys, get the more expensive, flog it on ebay, buy a 2nd hand blueangel.
I sold a boxed MDA III for just £100 on there the other week :-(
PM me and I might be able to help if you need it sourcing one.
Can't fix it my @$$.....muppets.
They should not have destroyed your phone and infomed you after the event IMO.
EDIT - IIRC expansys do still have the [email protected] £600. Ask them for a cheque!!!!!... :twisted:
Richard
Yes was surprised they did not ask me first but oh well still have the mini s just like having the bigger screen for sat nav loooking t expansys think your right I'll go for the money.
Update insurance have coughed up £450 not bad considering I only got it for £150 :lol: :lol:
where can i get a black herme housing ?. I want to replace the boring gray housing that the 8525 came with.
Looking for the same thing!

Have you tried it yet?
I just ordered a new Hermes Replacement housing from cnn.cn, however I haven't received it yet.
If you are ordering one just make sure you order the right one for your phone.
For instance, the TyTN replacement body will not work on a 8525 and vise versa...

I was looking over the cnn.cn and from first looks, it seems like the 8525 OEM black housing will work with the TyTN phone.
Is it confirmed the two will not work with one another? They are the same identical phone but with out the front camera on the 8525. If anyone will or has tried let us know.
I haven't tried, but I doubt it would. If you compare the positions on the different buttons - you can see that it the buttons doesn't correspond on the two different models. I'll buy the housing for TYTN to be sure it fits.
Wonder if they supply a instruction manual with it... Anyone knows?
The 8525 case that cnn.cn has for sale shows a front camera hole but no video call button which is something I would prefer, but where do you get the d-pad from? For those looking for a disassembly of the hermes have a look here on the wiki.I think there could be a really good combination of part to make a really nice looking hermes.
Dangnabbit.
I just ordered that Black Housing, but didn't notice the lack of a video call button. I hope it wont matter during installation on my Xda version
I've replaced the housing on my Vario ii for that of an SPV M3100 with no problems whatsoever - it was really quite straightforward. I kept the t-mobile directional pad as I preferred the look of it.
Changing the housing on a model of hermes with a different layout however is not so straightforward as it involves not only changing the keypad itself but also the little pcb underneath which is slightly different between Herm models.
it is certainly possible to replace the slide mechanism, keyboard and backplate between ANY model of Hermes, and some nice combinations are possible. I have a vario ii orange backlit keyboard if anyone wants it.
chinaonnitrous1!
Let us know how it went
Thanks!
they carried 2 housing...the only different is the key pad layout...so pay attention to the key pad...
This company is very slow in responding to email. I send them 2 email about a week ago asking for shipping date...yet no respond
Thats interesting, I ordered something from them on thursday, I got an email withing hours saying it had shipped with a tracking number...
As for the keypad layout, if you wanted to use the Black case you would have to also find the keypad to match it, as well as the PCB that goes beneath. cnn.cn has the parts for the TyTN, but not the 8525.
Maybe someone with good dremel and case modding skills could make it look good though.
Does anyone actually have the Black HTC TyTN that they were supposedly shipping? I was going to get one, but then everyone convinced me not too, I'd be interested to see some pics though.
I'lll get the housing withhin a week.
I'll post pics and everything.

Thanks mate!
chinaonnitrous1 any news on how it went ?
I bought from http://cnn.cn/shop a case for 8525 and the external keyboard because I have a SPV M3100. I am waiting for the package and I'll put some pictures of the case. I hope the quality of the case is ok.
I just received my new TyTN case from cnn.cn. It is a dopod branded case, slightly different colour than my original TyTN case. I guess I would call the colour "graphite".
It is definately an original case off of a phone, it still has the old IMEI and Serial Number on the sticker on the back.
Build quality is good, it doesn't look like it is off a used phone. One thing I noticed however was that the silver metal on the front was slightly pulled up, and there were some adhesive remnants on the side of the case. I'm sure it will clean up fine with a little solvent though.
I haven't replaced it yet, I am waiting on a new keypad circuit board (mine is fried, you have to push it ridiculously hard to get it to work), and I will open it up then and replace everything.
Ordering from CNN.CN was pretty good. Shipping was $5 CAD, and it took about a week and a half to arrive. A signature was required, but there were no fees or duty.

Hi, I'd be interested in the keypad, if it's still available? I've dropped my VarioII and the keypad is slightly bent lol
where did you get the replacement body from?
Cheers
I don't know if anyone has seen this or not. But I was browsing the CNN.CN website and found that they finally have the 8525 housing (no front camera).
http://cnn.cn/shop/8525-grey-housing-cingular-p-1852.html?osCsid=cb778af816fcf60d73a45ef006183af3
This is pretty cool!!
Thats quite expensive.
I have bought a housing on Ebay for 12€.
Just type
xda dummy
dopod dummy
htc dummy
etc
into the search.
The dummies seems to be original housings for just a few bucks
but from what I've read on this forum, the material is very cheaply made (since its a dummy) and is not a good replacement for the actual housing.
your opinions any different?
I also Spotted This
http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Housin...ryZ15039QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I Bout the HTC case from Cnn.cn a few days ago. I Still waiting for it. the one on ebbay I notice comes with a Keyboard And D-pad for $99.00
I bought the HTC case for $59 and the D-Pad for $8
I'll Keep you informed on the Case And Install. Maybe Pics althoguh Another member on here and on HOFO Already has a write up and Pix.

thanks for your response.
Yes its possible, but if you have the 8525 and you put on the HTC TyTn housing, you will have a front camera hole, with no camera

If that's what you are Looking to do I believe you have to change the Circuit under the D-Pad as well and I wouldn't know whrre you would even get that From ? I've heard a few people Looking for it but to no success. Hopefully someone does find it. I know alot of People with the TyTn who want the black housing but the Buttons don't match up right.

Ok, thanks for this info~~ so i don't buy this housing.
The "dummy" phones on ebay are CANNOT be used as replacement housings.
The side buttons are fused on (i.e., they are not buttons), the USB port is not punched out, and the back cover is not removable without a hammer and chisel. The SD card hole is also fused shut.
Just going on cosmetics, you'd end up with a much uglier phone than the one you're replacing, as you'd have to break the case just to open it and you'd have to punch out all of the buttons on your own.
As if that were not enough, once opened one will find that the inside doesn't have the proper places to secure the motherboard or battery on the inside of the case.
Provided you made it this far, you'd find upon using it that the keyboard sliding mechanism on the dummy phones is cheap, non-locking, and breakable.

8525 OEM housing
For those of you still looking for 8525 OEM housing, here is the link. You have to fill out the order then they will send you the info. So far this is the only one I have found that carries the OEM housing with all the markers.
http://www.cellphonepartszone.com/Products.asp?shopxpbe_id=102&id=425
whats the price tag on this item from this site?
that is a good question, i would like to know too since i bought a used 8525, if its not too cheap i wouldnt mind getting a whole new housing or have a spare in case things wear out before i decide to get another phone or so heh
but again the housing does not have the buttons/keyboard etc... at least not in the pics
I noticed the same GPS antenna.... does this really work?
I thought the GPS is disabled permanently on the 8525.
Here's the wiki on the GPS:

If you are looking to replace your 8125 case here's an excellent deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360011196557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=023
I've purchased one of these and it includes all the buttons. The antenna cover already had the antenna installed. It even included the black rubber gasket around the display. All I had to move was the ear piece and the vibrator.
I don't know if they are take offs but mine was in A+ shape. They don't include the back cover.
Awesome!
Beats paying $50+ for a new shell...
My only question is; can you move the MDA circuitry to the 8125 shell? Seems logical, seeing as both are the same hardware.
Great find... They also have the wiz200.

I bought one from them and sent a message to them that there was a chip in the corner of one of the pieces.
In the auction listing, it states that they may come damaged but should not affect working order.
So...be aware that there may be cosmetic damage.
They were kind enough to send a replacement, which I should be getting in a few days.
Hopefully, it will be a new piece.
Update:
These guys are great....well in my case anyways.
In the previous post I mentioned that a had a chipped corner on the housing and requested a new piece.
Well, those guys sent out a whole new setup..this one was in great shape....dont know if it was new, but looks practically brand new.
There was never any questions on their end...they just sent out another one.
I would recommend them highly. Great customer support.
O btw, I told them I would send the original one back...they said to keep it.
WOW...top notch guys.
I just ordered one of those cases i'll make sure to let you all know how it comes when i get it!
Very Nice... there were a few minor scratches on the corners and buttons but other than that the housing i bought for my wizard was in great shape! no battery door cover tho
can some post a pick of the how the device looks in this housing?
got mine. no back cover, no screws. so what, do i use the screws from my wizard shell to close the new 8125 shell?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7409Gq51RFE
Gotta check this out.It's alot cheaper than others.
Thanks
I got a Wizard 100 (Cingular Branded) shell. It looks brand new.......not one scratch on it. It didn't come with a battery cover though
Ordered it last night...Should be here middle of the week.I hope it's in good condition.
anyone knows where i can get some extra screws?
i was about to assemble the wizards guts in to the new shell, but the keypads dont line up, if i go along and assemble, i wont have use of the send call button and the end call button, and some other buttons as well
Good Deal
The one they sent me was in great shape!!!
I just ordered a shell for my T-Mobile branded Wizard 200....I hope it will be practically new like the Cingular Branded Wizard 100 shell I ordered earlier...

If you are handy with very precise soldering then I would think it fixable. Trick is to find the parts... Let me know if you are interested in selling your HD as a broken phone. I happen to be in need of a motherboard myself.
Selling parts of htc touch hd.
I got all parts from my previous phone,going to make some pictures of the parts,the price for each part and the terms of payment and shipment.
All the parts are in perfect condition only middle housing is bad.
