I have a dopod 838, it's a wiza100 model.
I tried disassembling it using the wiza200 service manual as a reference.
I'm stuck at how to open its mainboard.
The mainboard is stuck by the volume button.

Well, some help will be appreciated
PS. My Touchscreen is acting up lately, sometimes when you move the screen (sliding) the screen flicker and some of the colour of red dissappeared, sometime the screen goes totally white. I suspect some cable is loose. Which one is it?? Once again, some help will be appreciated
Thank you. ^_
You need to remove the phillips screw that's holding the main board then the flex cable.
After that you need to lift the main board on the left side and slide it out.
hey, while thats open. tell me if it seems complicataed to fix that usb port

fix the usb port how?? as far as resoldering it back on if its come off entirely. it can be hard for beginners, but if you can swap smd leds on phones and stuff, its a breeze. thats how i got my wizard, saw it on ebay for $35 buy it now with a broken usb port, and a little cosmetic wear. so i picked it up, and fixed it.

Can't offer any help but my T-Mobile MDA (Wiza 200) is also having screen problems.
I've disassembled & tried to figure out which connector is loose or any other hardware problems.
After making sure all the connections are tightly fitted & connecting the whole unit back, the screen still remains greyish-white. The nearest I've come to temporarily restore the screen function is that when sliding out the k/b about 2/3 way, the screen comes on. Beyond that, it just fades out like the device has undergone a hard reset.
I'm still not sure if it is the Flex-board or the LCD assembly causing the problem.
Let me know what you find out.
i changed my housing case. now all i get is bright white screen.

Check your LCD to flexboard connection....make sure its snug and secure
Check this out!!!
Check my Tutorials to disassembly the wizards... qtek 9110 and tmo vario models.... (not 8125)
in my Signature... PIMP My Wizard link....
its easiest way to dissassembly the main board cause it dont has screws just open your keyboard (slide it) and you will be able to pop up the main board...

So I managed to crack my screen today right after waking up and dropping the phone. I looked on Dealextreme and it has a replacement case for the whole phone.
MY question is that does that dealextreme case also include the glass screen. Also is there somewhere else I can just buy the screen?
Thanks.
If I understand correctly it is your digitizer that is cracked..
Replacing the touch digitizer is possible but quite a technical thing to do...

Oh man, that sucks for me. I am a nerd so I can open stuff up and put it back together. But this drop is going to cost me.

They have digitizer screens for the X10 on eBay:
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xp...+screen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Get yourself a new digitizer including front cover. Because its really hard to get the digitizer of. It will only cost you 65 on ebay.
I fixed my diamond 2 last time Works perfect now. Not that hard! Take some time and beers
Cheers

Yup ordered a digitizer yesterday for 60 + 15 shipping to canada. I don't trust ebay or paypal much so I pay straight off the credit card. Anything goes wrong I can file a dispute.
I think i 'll buy also a new digitizer because my screen has a lot o scratches. But is there any x10 disassembly video. I searched youtube and i found nothing
It's not really that hard tbh i just replaced my whole phone (case,screen,digitizer) the only thing you need to be extremely safe with is the flex cable to the front keypad.
Heres what phone phone looked like

Here is a complete disassemble guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6368979
make sure when you are handling the digitizer, to no touch the back of it. Finger oil is a ***** to take off. Use gloves.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a problem with the screen being selectively unresponsive... Here's a fix.
The screen needs to be grounded in order to function properly. HTC has designed for many of the components to be grounded into the aluminum back. All that has happened here to cause unresponsiveness is that screen isn't being properly grounded. We'll fix that.
Take the back cover off. What we are looking for is the grounding pin. It can be seen at the center of the bottom edge of the phone in this pic:

Here's a close-up:
That piece of metal makes contact with the inside of the back cover at a little square seen in this pic at the top middle: It's hard to see in the pic but easy in person.
So what we need to do is put some aluminum foil on that square to increase the conductance, or simply bend the metal lead on the phone so that it contacts the back more reliably. Or both
Fixed the screen responsiveness for me. You're welcome!
I have not had this issue but my GF's Sensation does... going to try this...
Yeah I had to do that for my sensation and it worked, be careful though when lifting the metal so that you do not break it off. The one in the sensation is very flimsy.

Help?
Can you make the third picture a little more zoomed out? No idea what or where it is. Thanks in advance. I have the same exact problem, and it annoys the crap out of me. If you're able to, can you also mark it on the image. Thanks.
I have done this, but I'm not sure if it had any effect... Worth a try!
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
The speaker on my Razr is no longer working, it had been intermittent for a while (working for a day, then not working for a few) but it hasn't worked at all this week. Occasionally a hard reboot (power button plus volume down) will make it start working again but its also been a while since that has worked.
I've already exchanged one Razr for a speaker not working and Amazon won't exchange the phone again for the same issue. Instead they want to offer me credit towards a different phone. Since I got the Razr during the penny sale, that doesn't help me much.
Has anyone seen or heard of this issue before and are there any fixes? Do you know if its a software or a hardware problem? I love the phone, its just very frustrating that the speaker doesn't work.
I may have the same problem..
Is it only the back speaker which is down ?
Sorry but so far my only (and no-efficient) solution was hard reboot
Yeah, its the rear speaker. Hard booting sometimes works but not always. Seems more like a hardware issue because I can tap the speaker when it stops working and it will sometimes start working again.
Having the same issue, the main speaker sometimes gets turned off (especially when micro usb is inserted, and then pulled out).
What usually helps is to gently press on the silver MOTOROLA logo on the top of the phone (in the middle of the logo).
So looks like when inserting/ pulling out micro usb cable, somehow something gets moved inside, so the contacts are shifted, which is screwing the speaker)????
Looks like will go back to the store :-( if this continues.
The ringtone speaker is glued to the backplane of the phone.
It's connected via two spring loaded connectors. (Dumb solution imo)
I believe some electrical contact cleaner could solve the problem.
Must be one WITHOUT oil! The oil might enter the lens.

My suggestion for a fix is this:
Step 1:
Remove plastic backing on the camera. Carefully!
You don't need to remove the entire kevlar backing.
(As you can see the backplate was made very ugly by the ifixit crew)
Step 2:
Hold the phone like the picture, and apply a miniscule amount of contact cleaner here, the idea is to make the cleaning solution hit the two springs and contact pads.
Step 3:
Tap and press the area around the speaker carefully, the idea being to rub the connectors slightly while wet.
Let it dry and keep it lying in this direction, you don't want this stuff in the camera!
All images taken from ifixit.
I take no responsibility for any damage, this would be a last resort type of fix if you can't get a warranty claim for it. This obviously voids your warranty completely too.
Ok i have a quick question about the Galaxy 5.0. My question is how to take it apart if i ever have any issues (repairs)? I own alot of electronics so its just in my nature to know how to take things apart "IF THEY NEED TO BE". I am a proud galaxy owner but just like any other mp3 such as the ipod touch we may come across disassembling. So any info would be helpful but video would solve my question.
First, take out the SD card and unplug it from everything obviously.
There's 3 screws around the top and bottom. Two are under little white stickers, one is in the SD slot. If you carefully lift the stickers off with a razor blade you can put them back where they were.
Once you have the screws out, the back cover snaps off but it's pretty difficult. I usually work the plastic clips around the edge with my thumbnails. I start on the long sides of it, then move to the top, then the top corners. Once you pop the top end off, then work down to the bottom end while watching out for the headphone and usb ports.
The corners are pretty difficult to get undone, especially without a screwdriver.
Reinstalling the back cover is cake though, snap it together and 3 screws back in. Gotta pay attention to the headphone jack though, and there's a little chrome trim ring that goes around the headphone jack that sits in the back of the cover that you wanna make sure you don't lose.
It's really not difficult at all, just be patient with it.
I Can't tell if these are USA or International version. Hope it helps.

This is just to clarify, the screen is working, it is the capacitive buttons at the bottom (back home and menu) that are broken correct?
If yes then there are a few easy solutions
Use pacman rom/aokp/paranoid android rom and enable soft buttons (all three are variants of cyanogenmod with extra features.)
download from the play store a app that enables soft buttons
either way allows you to use software buttons instead of the capacitive ones, provided your touch screen works.

Yes they do.
Once you got all the screw off it just un-clips

"All the Screws" ? do you mean all the ones under the back cover?
Well since they are the only screws that show on the phone.... yes.
Remove the back cover, there are a load of screws.
Like in the pics and like you can see on your very own SXS
i wonder if the phone boots/works without the bottom part, don't like it personally and perhaps a blanking piece could take its place. perhaps someone could try this if they are opening the phone anyway?
The Mic is in that part so taking it off would make your phone useless for calls
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
the antenna is in the bottom part so thats not an option
Edit : way better tut with bottom part removing in step 18-20 :

Yes, We know for certain it is a cap on the bottom, I want to know how to remove just the cap.
Ha my bad, i tought you ment the whole bottom
Edit : there are no pictures but i get the feeling it is easy removable since you can by it as a single part : http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/sony-xperia-s-197538c1.html
Anyone else have problem with this plastic cover being a bit loose and making noises under pressure? I would like to fix it somehow instead of giving it to service for 2 weeks... This is a disgrace to Sony for making such a cheap piece in their flagship phone...
mine, in fact I want to fix it

I'm sure it can be reused. That doc is for repair centers so they have a higher standard.
When u DIY u can surely reuse.
Did anyone try removing the bottom cap? I'm also eager to remove it but im a bit scared that it wont fit tight anymore if you put it back on.
not yet, I'm waiting to change firstly the screen(yellow tint) and after, maybe, i'll try to fix bettere the cup
