I broke the LCD on my sx56 and am trying to find a replacement LCD or a non-working unit for parts. I know ebay is the best bet but I was hoping I would get lucky here. Any suggestions would be appreciated
How much are you willing to pay for it?
I have Siemens SX-56 which is fully working now, only one reason I want to get rid of it because it is lock to AT&T, and I'm tired to find the way to unlock it eventhough I here, in this forum.
thanks but I just purchased a non-working unit on e-bay w/ a good LCD
Hello,
I ordered a new full set housing for my Cingular 8125 and it should come in the next week or two. When I get it, whats the best way to remove the original housing?
I have absoluteley no Idea how to change the housing, but don't forget to make pictures while you change.
Thanks,
Andre
Where did you get the new housing and is it different from the original one?

The 8125 wizard casing is all over ebay but some sellers charge upto $90 for it! You should find dissassembly instructions in the service manual on the FTP site. I have the MDA vario wizard casing ( no stubby aeriel ) listed on ebay under id fluffcat1.

I too would like to change my 8125 housing. I dropped mine the day after I bought it. I think the stock case was my problem. I hate tucking it in and out of that thing. I have another one coming and want to get another housing.
GSXR_6:
Where can I locate the FTP site. Sorry, I'm new and this is my first post.
I also thought of reworking the color of the housing once the warranty is passed.
Here we go, 3rd attempt (having issues with attaching file.)
HTC Wizard WIZA200 housing with MDA T-MOBILE written on bottom left and right:
Ebay Item Number 130005148788
2 more housings (almost double the price of previous) with T-MOBILE written on bottom center:
Ebay Item Number 9733402561
Ebay Item Number 9141941613
And the attached service manual is the one from the FTP just renamed from Prodigy to Wiard so i could locate it easier on my pc.
Also when disassembling your device watch out for the clips, i've broken a total of like 4 or 5 on my device, although when all put back together it is good as new.
ok, stupid thing doesn't want to attach.go to the Wiki of this site and theres an ftp tutorial of how to get to it.
Can someone please link me to the ftp page where I can download the instructions on how to replace my wizard's housing? I can't find it on the ftp site.

That's my auction
They are both original BTW, mine are t-mobile UK 'MDA vario' cases and Che_sir's are US spec - the only difference being the placing of the logos.
I only have limited quantities ( 2 left for now) and che_sir seems to have loads of 'em.
Che_sir also has digitisers and other parts that I simply cannot get hold of :-(
But I'm cheaper
Richard
HAHA, I think i messaged you on ebay asking about other parts for the wizard. Well i might have to buy one of the cases, depending on the damaged wizard i just bought on ebay for parts. We'll see.
Cingular 8125 & T-Mobile MDA
Even though these 2 are the varient from Wizard, but is the housing interchangable? What I mean is buying a Cingular housing for T-Mobile MDA. Is there a good place to buy T-Mobile MDA housing other than ebay? Thanks!! 8)
Check the FTP.

Disassembly of the 8125 (Dopod 838 case) is a little bit different from the Tmobile mda (Qtek 9100) casing. I still haven't found instructions for the 8125 but for the mda, its on the ftp site.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread but anybody ever find a manual or figure out how to do it? Debating whether or not to get a new housing or purchase a clear case and paint it...

i didn't realize the that the 8125 was the wiza 100 (and it looks imo)
how different can it be, is it not just the shape of the housing, meaning the clips and principles must be same/similar
anyway here is another guide to disassembly (actually the stylus fix) still of the wiza200 but the pictures may be clearer if it may help

I need to replace my brick'd TyTN today. I'm traveling for business next week and need a device. I like the look of the JASJAM and 8525 better than the TyTN, but I'm not sure which model I should buy. I would just buy the 8525 from Cingular, but it doesn't look like it will be out within a few days, as was originally promised. With all the models of the Hermes out there, which would you prefer if you were buying again? Thanks
BTW...my current TyTN will be off to Germany for repairs. I'll probably Ebay one or the other, or give it to my Dad, when it gets back from its repair journey.
Are you travelling in or out of the country?
I'm staying in the country for this trip
Well, the hardware issues (inoperative flash, bad keys, SA) on the TyTN seem to be worked out. No US operators officially carry the HERMES yet however so overseas repairs are going to be an issue.
Mu thoughts would be to get another TyTN and sell the repaired one on eBay when you get it back... Or keep it for a TyTN experimental mule. Maybe HTC will put in the SA fix too as a matter of course on your old one.
Heck, can we even get operator branded HERMES devices here?
I hear ya...I'm going to ship it next week and see what happens. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can get a decent price on the JASJAM, as I do like the look a bit better.
Thanks!
i want to know where i can purchase spare housing parts for my mda? if some one knows please answer or give me the contact information on where to purchase.

Lots of threads rearts, search is your friend.
--M
I was curious about this for the Cingular 8125, and while I love to search, I'm also a fan of all-inclusive posts, rather than leaving valuable info scattered.
If I find through searching, I'll post one single thread with info for both 8125 and MDA refurbishing supplies. Maybe one of the mods can sticky it if I do that.
PocketPCTechs offers a set of plastic parts for the 8125, but not the MDA. Given that the MDA and 8125 have basically identical hardware, you could probably put MDA guts into an 8125 case.
T-Mobile Vario Replacement Housing

I found the real problem with signal issues of the HTC Titan.
I have 2 HTC Titan
I bought a second HTC Titan from AT&T for a penny & I thought of trying the back cover on my first Titan.
The results are astonishing. The back cover was all that was wrong on my device. With the second Titan I purchased from AT&T on the Web, there is no problem with the sigral.
I have now ordered a new cover from Ebay & will try to get a replacement from HTC for my original cover that was defective.
I really think there was a bad batch of those back covers for this Titan & we where the unlucky ones to get them.
If you know someone that has no issues with his Titan, try his back cover on your phone.
Hope this help someone.
Good luck.
Hi, could this solve the WiFi issues?

How can you tell the difference between covers?
Photo please..
There is no difference at all between the covers that I have. The only thing I can figure out is that the contacts tabs on the inside of the covers that does not work, do not make a contact with the antenna that is embedded in the bothom plastic of the cover.
I do not know if the WiFi problem is related to this, (as I think the WiFi antenna is located in an other place on the cover) but for me the slow download speed I was getting before I change the cover, & the low signal or no signal was directly ralated to the lack of good antenna.
In order to come up with this solution, I went great lengths in order to find the right tab that was the antenna. I even install a temporary antenna (See immage) on the outside of the thone & I was getting better signal.
But after receiving my second Titan from AT&T online order I tried the cover from that secont Titan & Voila !! Very good service & signal.
Hope this help.

If someone want to buy a replacement on eBay, I think he should be carefull on choosing the right cover, because on eBay, they sell a BLACK cover & a SILVER like on AT&T, & I think it is because in the USA, AT&T has a different frequency than in Europe.
I was hoping to get HTC to provide me with a new cover, but having install an exterior antenna on it, kind of ruined the warranty. That is why I order one on Ebay from China.
I sure would like HTC to acknoledge the problem & provide us with a replacement back cover. But we could be wayting a long time.
Regards

To answer your direct question, & not to confuse anyone, the new cover that I have installed on my Titan comes from an other AT&T Titan phone.
But for those people in Europe, I know that they have a different Back cover because of the Carrier operation frequency.
Hope this help.
I have 2 back covers at the moment, i got one from china that im using at the moment and im removing the paint and polishing the original, and after reading this ive just tested both of them and found the one from china does give worse reception than the original. But ive found that if your very very gentle and careful you can tweak the contacts on the phone so they make better contact with the case, and now both backs work fine. This might not be a permanent fix as taking the case on and off may push them back but it may be useful if anyones stuck while waiting for a new back .

Hello there,
I just called HTC & they are shipping me a replacement back cover for my HTC Titan.
They do replace one accessory during the warranty period.
So if you still have a problem with your reception, maybe try a different cover that HTC can ship to you.
Hope this help.
Thanks pjodm
My new back cover will be shipped tomarrow. Hope i get a good one.

HTC Customer service told me that we have 15 days after receiving the new cover to call them back if things have not improve or else.
My hope is high because I have something to compare with.
I took a long time to explain them all what I did to find what was the problem, & told them that there was lots of other Titan Fans that where fustrated with this issue.
Hope the message get across higher echelons in HTC Company.
Spread the word if this fixed your problem.

It is a great phone, i would say go buy it, i'm sure you'll like it. I am very impressed of mine.
I bought mine on AMAZON. It's the black cover (and not from China!).
The frequency doesn't have anything to do with it as it's in the phone's configuration, not the back cover...
Anyway, I'm using it since yesterday and all I can say is.... WOOWW!! What a huge difference. I'm starting to love my phone again !!!
(Before that, I was about to throw it on a wall ....)

At least it solved mine.....
Humor me...
Take your old backplate... at the bottom (shown on this pic)
http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-titan-having-antenna-issues/
scrape it with a file.
I did this... (even accidentally scraped one completely off) and i went from 2-3 bars to 4 and 5, never dropping below 4 on ATT 3g plus (says 4g on US version of titan)
Will test tomorrow to full confirm but i think i just saved myself from buying a new back.
If this improved i may to in on all of the connections to backplate.
