For all of those who are performing case surgery - please note that the BA (M2000) has extra screws to remove before the case will separate.
You will need T5, T6 and an ultra fine Philips head screwdrivers to remove screws.
XDA IIs LCD replacement
I have dismantled a XDA IIs, but am not sure how to get the LCD out of the front cover, there seems to be some plastic welds holding the front cover together?
Can any one assist please?
I will have a go at explaining
ok try to explain
1. take off battery
2. unscrew the four torx4/torx5 screws including the one under warning label but no need to touch the phone idenity label
3. unscrew the two side screws located near top
4. take out pen and any card in device
5. carefully remove back (now you will be able to see the circuit board)
6. looking at the phone lcd down so you see the circuit board remove screws (small philips/ crossheads silver in color)
1.top left
2. top right
3. midle right near small cable
now you should be able to move the circuit board (do not force apart)
the lcd cable and keyboard cable are attached to the underside of the board
1. slide the phone 50% open (but keep phone lcd face down so you are look at the board phone the (keyboad being closest to you than main speaker))
2. carefully lift left side of board (you should see the cables) using a small screwdriver Very Carefully pry them off the board (the should pop off with no force needed)
3. slide phone fully open and now you are able to see all 4 torx screws that hold the front part of the phone on just under the circuit boad
* bottom 2 are in small cut out boxes just under to circuit board you may need to slide the front up or down to align with the screws
*the top 2 you should have notice when you fully opened the phone in normal use and looked at the back of the lcd at top behind speaker
4. the front surround and lcd and buttons will come off carefully remove from bottom near the navigation buttons
5. the phone should now be able to split into the two halfs with cables
6. you should be able to unscrew the the lcd and the cable 2 top 2 bottom for lcd but you have to also remove the button ribbon cable
replace lcd and reverse process
*the lcd cable needed to be pushed into the socket on the underside of the circuit board (this can be tricky take ur time)
*the keyboard cable is simular to the lcd cable but it has a smaller socket that it clips into
maybe this is a quick help I should have looked about a bit maybe someone done it better with pictures than me hey it only took 10mins

Hi, is there any chance to get Topaz disassembly guide?
THX
Edit: Dont need it anymore, I have done it, not difficult at all (similar to Nokia phones). HTC made Topaz very easy to disassembly.
I was cleaning part between digitizer and LCD from dust with antistaic brush and compressed air.
There are just 3 connectors to disconnect mainboard (digitizer, phone receiver and LCD), to get to the LCD. No coaxial cables to connect GPS and bluetooth antenna (all just by touch connectors to the black plastic top back part), Chipset is covered by metal plate, cant see it.
LCD: S/N: 1EJV093Q000069
P/N: 60H00209-00M S508
Can I request you get some high res photos of the PCB/LCD and/or record the ic part numbers while you've got it apart? It would be really useful to know for Linux/Android development.
Can you post what kind of gps chipset is buildin ?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
Thanks for the photos! Would you be able to post a higher res version of the 3rd one or simply scribe what is written on the back of the LCD. I'm hoping the serial number might give an indication of the chipset used in the LCD.
cheers!tsy
So you can sure tell us if the front frame is really metal or plastic ?
Its metal body iside of plastic housing.
Great job !
Thanx
some instructions or tips of how you disassembled it would be nice
i unscrewed my diamond2, and i cannot find a way to disassemble it..
help!
Hi
Nice work and photos.
One problem that has been reported, and I assume it was something you suffered from, is dust entering through the volume rocker and finding it's way onto the LCD display.
This seems rather an oversight by HTC as usually the LCD panel would have some form of seal or bezel (sticky or foam) to stop dust. Does the LCD panel have anything like this at all?
Regards
Phil
i found a htc service manual for diamond 2 that was leaked
not sure if i can post it here..
it explains how to disassemble the device
EDIT: I am so sorry, the leaked document is the user manual, it is incorrectly posted as the service manual in many sites. sorry
post it! what's the worst they can do... tell you to remove it?

Sticky? New Thread? & Help
I think we either need to sticky this, or make a new thread that encompasses all disassembly / dust leak information about the topaz.
I still cannot disassemble my device, i wish someone could help :/
Disassembling the Diamond 2 is really simple.
Remove the 4 T5 screws at the four corner
Remove the small plastic cover below the battery (might be optional)
Pop the main plastic body off the face piece (I use a really small flat screw driver) Starting from the top of the device
Remove the 3 connection then pop the main board
Remove the 4 hardware buttons then remove the LCD screen
I'll try to take some pictures when the new LCD screen arrives...

Thanks for the steps. I just yesterday disassembled my TD2, but didn't dare remove the connections on the mainboard. The one on top left (see your pic mainboard.jpg) is no issue, but the other ones are tricky...or at least I thought they are. I couldn't figure out how to exactly remove those connectors. Could you maybe give some steps or info on how to remove those connectors? Thanks again for your help.
disassembly
thanks for the update . ill try and post pictures up when possible.
I am interested in this too, I have dropped mine a couple of times and am looking to replace the housing (although I have already been ripped off once by buying a repaired one on ebay).
So any idea where I can get a legitimate full housing and a guide to moving the guts from one to another?
Cheers,
Found this:

Now I just need to find a genuine and complete housing.
Awesome

Thanks for your contribution stormyuk !
You can find housings on ebay, though most don't come with the buttons.
I bought one and its practically impossible to distinguish any differences,
Buy from kr-net on ebay its the seller that sold me my housing
Hi ,
I replaced the glass on my S3 after a small fall, but I managed to break the ribbon cable for the back/menu buttons.
How exactly do you replace this cable? Does the digitizer have to come out ?
Cheers
Paul
Hi!
I have broken the display on my Z2.
I have ordered a new one online and changed it. Soon I realized it's not working properly (ghost touches and unresponsive screen). After looking for a solution, I found out that this may be a grounding problem.
Since i saw, that the new display didn't come with adhesive covers for the chips on the flex cable, i have fitted them from the original display, but the problem still persists.
So how do I properly ground the display?
Does the bottom metal part of the display flex cable, have to touch the metal part of the frame? I suspect that sometimes it doesnt (new display didn't have the grey adhesive, the original had - but I can't remove it). Do I have to fix it with some kind of conducting adhesive?.
What about the top metal part of the display flex cable? Must it touch (ground) somwhere or it's not neccessary?.
Do I have to be carefull that some parts of the flex cable doesnt touch some other part of the phone?
BTW, I know the display isn't faulty because if I remove the back cover, sometimes i get perfect screen rensponse (maybe i ground it with my hand).
Thanks in advance.
