Help on XDA 2 parts

Hi,
On Ebay I have bought a XDA 2 PCB board. What I need help with is what other parts will I need to make work. So far I think I need:
1 DIY battery kit
1 Touchscreen LCD
1 Sync cable (which is best?)
some software for my PC, any ideas?
1 case, any ideas were I can get this from or has any one got one?
Any ideas on get this project up and running would be most appriecated.
Thanks
Cmcmill01

Software on the pc is no problem.
You just need Active Sync, can be downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync37.mspx
With the rest, I can't help you...

Cheers Jos,
Anyboby else with some ideas?
Has anybody got a faulty XDAII, wishing to sell?
Cheers
Cmcmill01

well i think that most peoples warrenty would replace their defect xda2 still
unless they abused it in a manner most faul that the company would notice
but with time and newer radio stacks and a full rom kitchen
you will mostlikely be able to get some
though as to buying the parts from new maybe diff to find and prob pricy aswell

Cheers for the Info
Has the XDA II got the same case as any other handheld?
As for the screen does that come in two parts?
cheers

all pda's i've ever messed with have seperate lcd and touch screen

Is there any way to test that board before you spend so much money, because the xda2 is so new I dont see you getting secondhand parts and to buy them new is likely to cost somewhere near the price of buying a warranted unit.

So here are my thoughts, if they are complete crap let me know. :lol:
Get the board, attach the power and sync lead (can it run with out battery attached just on the mains?)
Get the LCD screen (ACX706AKM sony part, XDA I, is it the same screen for the XDA II)
Load up the ROM and Radio Stack, is this all I have to do to get Windows 2003 on the XDA?
Then get a case, by that time I'll probably have spent more than a new one.

Don't think you can use a XDA I screen, because it has less colors (4K instead of 64K).

Does anyone know the Part number for the XDA II screen, I'll try and source one that way?

screens
Are any Ipaq screens used on the XDAII?
cheers

i think there is an url somewhere for people who want to buy a new tft and touchscreen i'll look for it if you like

That would be great if you could.
Thanks

here you go

Cheers, for that.
But is that not for the XDA? not the XDAII, they have different screens!

Good luck finding a screen. I have called Sony trying to get one for XDA, and they referred me to the MFG who does not respond to any consumer inquiries. It seems that they don't want end users to have the ability to repair their own phones. If you find a source for the screen I'd love to know.
Good luck!

Arigato gozaimasu!
I'll be in an industrial district/town called LongGang, about one-hour drive from LoHu (the train station on the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border). Will the market be anywhere near there?

from Luo hu, 10 to 15 minitues by Taxi, called "Fu Tian Distric."
Many Building and thaousands of shopes selling parts,

Oh... Fu Tian. I've heard of that place before.
Have you managed to install the new housing? Was it difficult? I heard it is not an easy job.

Seems like someone's going to make lots of money... NOT! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-O2-E...itemZ9733399786QQcategoryZ15039QQcmdZViewItem
That price is way too steep... I won't be surprised if he hasn't managed to sell any yet.

tyo change housing, not so easy but can do,,,,,
take time and carfully.
Someboday selling....
becouse my prices are domestic wholesaler prices.. so you can feel
reasonable or cheap/
but once they are in shops in HK,, it will be W-or Triple prices.
I ts no way....
so we must share the information to get cheap one,,,
even me in china ...
i bought some battries for my friends,, at the beggning price was RMB220/pc,
other day i found 150RMB, one more other day,,
found 125RMB/pc
china is the place like this....
work around,,or wallets will be lighter and lighter!
i am still working around to find better!

It's the same in Hong Kong: I once found a shop selling extended batteries for the Dell Axim X50v for $280, but after a 10-minute journey I found another shop selling the same batteries for HK$240. Things tend to be cheaper on weekdays in the market place as well.

Do they sell complete body-sets (with keyboard panel and so on), including instructions ?
I have a T-Mobile one, but would kill for an unbranded cover (especially a black one )

now we can found,,
1;Boday and keyboard pannel
2; 3 x parts of Hindge,,,(but some times no in market
4:LCD housing
but,,, the parts are not equal conditions.
*some Housing missing small swithes,,slider siwitches,
also difficult to find Action Buttons curently
*screw nuts which should be inlaid boday are missing,,
some of them have it,
go and vist several shops, then you can compliete
*small ruber parts such like on the bottom, are not available yet,,
but some of parts can be used from your current device.
Manual is on Dvelopers.com FTP,

Sorry for being geeky but have you seen any HTC-branded housings? It'd be pretty cool to have one.

Anyone know where to get HTC mainboards?

I've recently gotten into the hobby of buying broken phones and reselling them for just enough more to cover my costs. (that's why i'm calling it a hobby).
However, I recently purchased a pretty smashed up Tilt - it needed a new LCD and an entirely new housing.
After investing that $140, I've come to find that the mainboard is probably bad, as it wont power on.
Rather than toss my money in the crapper, I want to see about replacing the mainboard, but cant find ANYONE who sells them online...perhaps I'm searching by the wrong terms, but I'm no web n00b...and I'm coming up blank.
Does anyone know of a reputable website whereby I can purchase items like the mainboard for the Tilt? Does anyone who reads these forums WORK for HTC, and like to strike a deal?
Please, PM me if you know anyone that sells these hard-to-find HTC parts...
Thanks!!

You might as well have just bought a new one!
Your best bet is to buy a broken one off Ebay, mainboards will be the domain of HTC repair specialists only and will probably need to be bought in bulk. They would also no doubt cost more than a broken second-hand device would.

Would be a rather boring hobby, buying working phones, dont you think?
But yes, this one is costing me a bit more than I care to admit....fortunately, I think I can probably sell off parts and recoup some of the money spent.... at least, once I call off the search for a replacement mainboard.

i remember trying to source a mainboard for an athena a while back and it was akin to getting blood out of a stone! I rang everyone i could find the number for and got no-where. You can buy a tilt for about 150gbp on ebay so one with a broken screen and housing damage (but a functioning mainboard) would doubtless set you back very little

Hello.
I recently killed my HTC TyTN II.
I know it needs a working Mainboard.
I want to give you an idea,about my 2 cents as Mcmexican says.
You need to go to a HTC Taiwain site and regiter as a Reseler or repairer. Probably you can get these kind of things in deeper sources.
Im telling you that,cause youre saying you have the hobbie to fix them. Me to,but im unemployed,trying to get a job,im broke. So it seems i dont have time and economic positive status to do it myself. And im in Portugal,momentaniously in an Economic crisis..
Im on an exausting search,cause im in an unknown new town,and need the GPS,that my Qtek 9100 doesnt have..
PPl in this forum could work all together to also get Mainboards at a affordable price,for ppl with less economic positive status.
I will start a new thread about that.
Thanks for reading this ppl.
We need Mainboards at a fair price .

Dash 3G lcd & housing replacement

I might be 1st with this problem but not last for sure. Accident happend & I need replacement LCD for my new Dash. Anyone knows where I can get one? I can only see part of display. Will new housing be enough or do I need LCd as well? Repair manual anyone? Thanks everyone!

Anyone?
Maybe someone wants to sell their "brick"?

Dash 3g LCD
From what I'm hearing, the LCD for the Dash and the Dash 3g are the same thing.
Should be easy to find -

Can anyone else confirm it? Any guides/step by step on how to do it? I assume I will still need to get a housing

First off, it would be good to know what exactly happend to your phone. Like, what kind of accident. I may be able to help you with the issue of getting the phone apart.

I have the US Sprint version of this (s511 HTC Snap) and have a cracked screen from a drop to the floor. There are dash replacement screens on ebay for $15-$30, but ot find any confirmation that it for sure is the same one. There are instructional videos on youtube as well. I haven't done it yet, also waiting for confirmation that the dash lcds are okay.

Just dropped my Dash 3g this morning and am looking for the same info. Dammit! Should have gotten the insurance!

i would also like to know if the gash screen is the same as the dash 3G to repair a phone.Anyone know? Thanks

Bump, I would also like to know. It'd be nice to snag one up from ebay and replace the screen P:

Hi
does anyone know if they are the same? Cant find any replacement screens for sale on ebay.

try www.cnn.cn. quiet reliable.

find below page and ask there:
I'll fix your HTC phone or provide parts
Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!

Screens and Repair Video Available
First, to answer one of the questions asked previously in this thread: This is not the same screen as the original Dash. The LCD itself might be but the connector is very different and the two are not compatible.
However, there are now several places online selling these. Just do a Google search for "t-mobile dash 3g lcd part only" and you'll find some people selling these. Note that they're quite a bit more expensive than the original Dash screens. That should change over time, though.
There's also a video of this repair on YouTube. You should be able to find that by doing a YouTube search for "Dash 3G Repair". This is actually a pretty simple repair (even easier than the original Dash) so if you're a little handy this shouldn't be too tough.

Anyone knows exact part number of screen? (Manufacturer and part number)
thanks.

DASH 3G parts
My just out of warranty Dash's trackball broke, I tiried to fix it myself and succesfully opened the dash3g, no good to me now so if someone wants a parts dash with no trackball I might be interested in getting rid of it, wend back to DASH 1 until I can get a Win 7 phone from MSFT .....

[Q] Recomendation for buying a screen replacement

Hi, I'm new here so apologizes if I break any forum etiquette
Some days ago I accidentally dropped my Galaxy Nexus i9250 and shattered the screen.
Looking around I found that I need to get he digitizer plus LCD screen since they are fused, I found a couple of alternatives in ebay but I'm not sure which one to get.
Basically I'm between two options, the first one is a LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer +Front Cover Replace and the second one is just the digitizer and LCD screen.
Of course I want to get the most closer to the original part and although the first seller told me it's the original part I'm not sure about it.
In the second item you can actually see the Samsung logo so that's probably an original part.
Do anybody has a suggestion about which way to follow?
I would post links to the items in ebay but I can't cause I'm new.
Thanks,
Javier

It's been discussed in several threads, people usually say it's better to send it to samsung and let them fix it than buying the digitizer+lcd , coz in terms of money u wouldn't be saving much if u're planning to buy the parts urself.
P.s. posting in Q&A might have been more proper, plus u'd probably get more answers and ideas
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Thanks, the problem is that I'm in a country where the Galaxy Nexus isn't sold, so I talked with Samsung and they told me that they can repare it but I have to send it to the US and they will mail it back to a mainland US address when fixed.
I did that once for a laptop and it took a lot of time and money, actually it will cost the same than getting a brand new phone.
This is why I need to do it myself.
