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?

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!

does any one know of a link/site etc that supply LCD screen for Atom?
silly question...is it the same LCD as the magician? hmhm. I have tryed the usual places (ebay, google) but with no luck. (well, non that i could see).
any info is appreciated a as usual
My LCD is dead
May be anybody know where i can bay new LCD for my Atom?
I had the same problem, but after many hours of searching nothing came up.
So, i've sent it to official support @ Hong Kong.
yep me too. Apparently, o2 does not allow the repair centres to sell the lcds to the public. Now I have to pay almost AU$400 to have it repalced by the Australian repair centre.
Its a joke considering the price is only AU$150 from the Thailand repair centre (I got a sale quote for the lcd but then they told me they cant sell it to me because I am not a repair centre :x ).
FINALLY!!!!

is the e-bay option safe,

easy to fit,

supply lcdscreen from china
hello all, any one who want lcdscreen, and also other accessories of pda, please contact me, we are a chinese company locates in ShenZhen.
I just ordered a new screen for my IPAQ 6815 for €75 incl. shipping from Ebay. It's probably arriving next week. Got it from seller hongkongop. If you can't find a cheap one, remember that the next PDA's use the same (NEC) screen:
- O2 Atom/Atom Exec/Atom life
- Mita C Mio A700/A701
- HP iPAQ 6800 6812 6815 6818 6828
Changing and getting a NEW LCD screen for O2 Atom is easy!!
I have broken my LCD screen for O2 atom before and went through the horrible same pain of only being able to receive the phone call and calling the last person who you previously talked to.
Getting a new LCD screen is easy. Now, there are many sellers on eBay who sells new LCD screens. However, one of the hardest part was to find out how to change it.
Believe it or not, O2 is one of the most easiest handset to dissemble. I found my guide on google which was in chinese, however, the pictures themselves were pretty much self explanatory.
Hope this helps.
I have the replacement LCD for the Atom, as well as the touchscreen.
The LCD is $80. The touchscreen is $8.
PM me if you would like more information.

My LCD screen (front part) was crack last week and I decide to pop in to O2 authorize service center to ask for replacing. You know how much their charge? Dam.... expensive RM535 (Diagnosis+labor+LCD) even it is still under warranty.
Of course, I'm not proceed. Next I walk out and went to the freelance services center who situated in opposite building and try my luck.Guys, I am lucky (although go to paid for it) and manage to fix this crack by paying RM190 which include the screen protector.

How does Russian work?
http://mikechannon.net/index.html has a number of manuals. Dissassembly on this page http://mikechannon.net/Manuals Page 3.htm
The dissassembly manual for the Atom is here http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_hp_rw_6815/ (ignore that it is a HP)
There are online service manuals for $10 in places
I'm about to replace my LCD - I'll see how I go...

This is much harder than I thought it would be!
***Warning do not attempt replacing just the touch screen unless you are extremely technically proficient (i.e. you can solder under a microscope.
If you want to replace a LCD and touch screen in one unit it would be easier, but my connection is no longer good and I'm getting flickering!! Tips anyone?
I was hoping to wait for a HTC diamond to come to Australia, but looks like I might be forced into going for something else
Unless I could stand a few months of no PDA...

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 .....
Hi sorry to bother I'm looking for a replacement of the whole display screen digitizer + LCD.
Does anybody can recommend a good one.
I've been searching on amazon but mayority of people complain about that the digitizer stop working on the repalcement after a while.
Any help appreciated.
There really isn't any "good one". If you want one that works, get an OEM one made by HTC.
Hey,
I think this might help you!
http://compare.ebay.com/like/290659299424?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y
Of course the higher you go the quality will probably be better but for $15 with free shipping I dont think you can go wrong if the first place, if it does not last long just order a new one!
If you have TEP you are better off getting it replaced by sprint for a new phone.
Good luck!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!

I found a used OEM front panel (LCD & digitizer) in good shape on ebay shipped for $50. The guys at my sprint store are cool and installed it for me. That's half what asurion gets and you keep your software setup

There are two different LCD connectors, a wipe one and a "normal" one. The ONLY way to see what one your phone has is to open it up.
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.
