Hi. I know I've seen these either here or on the FTP site, but now I can't find them. Can somebody either provide or post a link?
Thanks in advance!

I have done this and it is not hard at all. Very well put together for taking apart purposes.
Just one thing to be careful about it keyboard as it is very fragile and if ytou need to remove it from the case, you have to be extremely careful or plan on getting a replacement membrane, which for me turned out to be around £15.
Best of luck

Thank You for this info. I will contact this guy. But before I will write what is happening with my keyboard and check if this is the same problem You had. On my keyboard only few key are working. Rest of them are not working at all or I need to press them very very hard to get the letter. Is it the same like in yours?

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!
If you can source the vibrate motor for an HTC S710 I would be forever grateful. Where abouts are you located?
EDIT: I see you're in Phoenix.
Most of the parts I carry are for US released HTC phones but often they carry simular parts. If you can post a picture of what it looks like I'll see if I have a match.
I will upload a picture in a little bit, however here are the specifications from the HTC Vox Service Manual for the motor;
JT0406-30CSR1, JNTECH, Cylindrical, 3V, 100mA, 12000+/-3000 rpm, 60/-, 20degC, 11.2*5.1*5.8mm
The cylinder has J7D05 printed on it and has 2 prongs that make contact to the pad on the PCB. I've tried many different other motors but none of them physically fit in the spot. So if you have any motor rated to those specs and is smaller or equal to the dimensions above, I will take it.
Here are two pictures of it. They are quite large, so not inlined. Not my camera, one of those funky digital ones that I have no idea how to adjust the focus on.

Ah yes. Thanks, I shall await your response in great excitement.
Happy Indie Day!
A friend of mine has an O2 XDA Orbit but the usb works for charging but not for the data link.
Is this fixable? and if so, do you perform the fixes !!!!
@pna
I had the same problem with my Dash/Excalibur. I had to turn off the USB charging feature in the settings and then the data worked fine. I just either turn it back on if I need to charge via USB on my PC and don't have a wall charger handy. Tell your friend to try that.
Edit:
Also Turn off Advanced Network Functionality to along with charging over USB.

If the pins in the socket look straight re-flow the solder on the mainboard or get someone to do it. It's fairly easy. New sockets are about $4 on fleabay but as there are multiple lines close together you do need skill to replace.

Sorry friend. I don't have one that looks like that by HTC. However the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 vibrator does look like it. If I had it here to test I would be able to look closer. Once again, sorry friend.

Right on! I have been wanting to replace the metal bezel that goes around the front of the AT&T 8525 (U.S. HTC Hemes). Mine has gotten quite scratched and scuffed over the last year, and I would love to have it returned to it's original clean, shiny look.
Do you happen to carry this part by any chance? Or know of an affordable place to obtain one?
I get mine from a guy on ebay. I used my last 3 over the holiday weekend so I am out till I order some more on Monday. They are about $28 shipped. Link below....

If you need the full housing email Amit / Raki Computers and ask - they have them as well at not much more $ ( about $26 IIRC) if you ask although the parts they sell are used / stripped from BER phones so some have minor marks and it's pot luck.
M.S
edit - I emailed Amit @ Raki myself anyway and he's listed the full housings here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220254094906
better value IMO.
Yes. We've got software support and now hardware support. This thread needs to be stickied.
Hey all.
Just thought I'd post my experience here.
After owning my uni for a few years, I thought it was about time to give it a make over.
My main annoyance was the hinge pieces / spine where the paint had chipped off. I tried touch up pen........ looked worse.
Googled and ebayed but all I could find was housings only.
Eventually I just took the paint off and, after several applications of Autosol.....WOW! Shines like a mirror! I'm shocked that no one i here has tried this.
Next task is to use the old housing's exterior metal branding as a template and put a chrome piece in the new cover (on the spv m5000 housing)
I'll post some pics as it progresses.
please do, sounds great. what is Autosol?
That sounds interesting! Can't wait for results. Please keep us posted.
That sounds interesting! Can't wait for results. Please keep us posted.
Autosol is metal polish in a tube. Really good stuff.
I'm sending the phone of for the 128mb upgrade before renewing / modding the housing.
Decided on aluminium for the outer branding and found a guy to machine it.
Any of you guys know if you can get silver buttons (camera, volume etc) for the uni or will I have to get them plated?
I too can personally vouch for how good Autosol is ;-) its about £5 or so from Halfords iirc
BTW karl where have you sent your phone off to to get the 128mb upgrade done? And for how much can i ask?
Cheers
I've been contacting a guy called Joe at retronix uk ltd.
Very helpful he's been.
He quoted £80.00 to do it. They want the entire phone (not just the board) and the charger. They also want a 128mb rom loaded on so they can test it once it's upgraded.
Payment is going to be by debit card.
Hope that's enough info for you.
I dont suppose anyone has an mda pro keyboard and toggle button (one next to the screen) spare / for sale?
Ordered the housing of fleebay but without the above.
Cheers all

I'm interested in the upgrade, and would like to know something more about the shipping options... do I have to contact them directly or PM you, or whatever?

I think it's better to contact directly.
No harm in it.
(sorry for the little OT)
I'm in contact with the Italian partner of Retronix, trying to get an affordable price to get the upgrade done. If someone else from Italy is interested can contact me, chances are that we can get discounts for quantity...
sorry again for the OT,
cheers to all
Has anyone actually used Retronix Uk yet?
How did you get on?

Tried the chrome thing on da hinges a year away. the main problem is dat it needs attention every month. mine got yellowish in a month. also try touchin the hinges while the phone is on charge. ull feel electrified a bit...lolzzz.
Hello there friends!
I'm thinking on getting a replace housing for my aged Dash, so it looks decent with the wm6.5 ROM
. I think the procedure is similar to replacing a broken screen, and I only need a T6 and an opening tool...
Does anyone knows where to find one for a reasonable price, besides eBay?
Do anyone knows if a "dummy" phone would serve as a donor?
Has anyone here done this before?
i searched the forum, but couldn't find recent info on this
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please read the sticky as is guide linked not sure exactly what want but should give good idea

I am actually trying out the same thing. Waiting for my dummy to arrive. Sears has T6 (in Illinois) for like $3. And you need a precision Phillip's head too. I bought both today and spent right around $7. Dummy shipped from NJ on Monday. I will let you know when it gets here if it works. I read in an archive on here of another HTC model dummy having all the same outer housing and some inner parts as real phone. Keeping fingers crossed for real. Would be awesome to have a 'NEW' phone with 6.5 and in all black too.

I also had the idea to replace the housing with one from a dummy. But i read in some german forum, that at a dummy the housings are glued.

Found it on eBay. Local T-Mo store was supposed to have on but girl never went to look for me after she sold my brother a phone. She said she thought they were glued. But like I said I read on here of an older HTC model having all the same outers just no inners. Tracked it this morning. Should be here tomorrow morning. As long as it has screw holes I can make it work. My old silverhousing is 3 yrs old. I take good care but 3 yrs is 3 yrs. Will let you know.
Doing a little of search found this:

Sad to report
Yeah I am sad to say that my dummy phone came in the mail today. It was an EPIC FAIL. The only possible salvageable parts may be the keyboard. And that would be with some modifications as I do not think the buttons are transparent. The back of the screen where the LCD would be is solid black with the image printed on it. And the screw holes are different. I might be able to do something with it but I doubt it. It has none of the needed posts to place wires and circuit boards as the OEM. It was worth a shot though. I want a black DASH but don't really want to pony up the $100 or more for it where mine works fine. Its just ugly in silver. Calculator like. Ah well. So there ya have it. The dummy phone is a no go. I would post pictures but why bother. Anyone know where I can find an all black housing that is NOT clip on or a case? I can find the silver crap but not the black ones. Well thanks if you can. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
too bad to read, friend.
i'm checking everyday @ebay and I've found an HTC branded one for $29... I'll keep looking
too bad i came to late, i would have told you dummy phones are not the same housing as regular phones, i tried it with several sprint phones when i worked at radio shack, they are made differently.

Yeah well its ok. My kids can score a cool spy toy now. I just want a black housing. I HATE the silver crap. I would take a red one with the silver crap but all I have found is green, pink and orange. Still looking though. Was worth a shot. Lesson learned.
Well how does $25 sound, shipping included?

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.

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 .....
Okay, so here's the deal - I dropped my beloved TP2 to the ground, and luckily, the screen was saved, but a crack in the plastic on the back of the phone appeared.
Right now, It's not a huge crack, but it does go all the way through the plastic, and I'm afraid that it will get bigger as the time goes.
And to the real problem;
How do I get my hands on a new lid?
(is that the correct word for the grey/silver plastic on the back of the phone, covering the battery etc.?).
I do not want to contact my insurance company, just to send it in for repairment, due to the time which that will take, and cost.
Are there any stores that sell parts of the phone like this?
I will contact HTC after school tomorrow, and I'll try to keep you updated.
Please note that I live in Sweden.
Thanks.
