HI there all,
Anyone got advise on removing a broken off wand tip stuck in my O2 Orbit, tried the four screws on the back put no real movement.
Thanks
Jez
I have heard that once you have the 4 screws out it just takes a little more bravery until the case comes apart...
Another option if the hollow portion of the stylus is viewable from the bottom is to stick an appropriate sized scew in there twist a little clock-wise and pull it out.

Anyone know how to tighten the slider mechanism for the keyboard?
My XDA IIs is really loose, if I hold the XDA upright and slide the keyboard
out it wil slide back down on its own.
Need to tighten this somehow.
Anyone?
Thanks

Thought I'd bump this one up as I to am having the same issue, anyone any ideas?

Same problem here, I took a piece of felt and attatched it right under the space bar it helped some would like a better solution if anyone has found one.
Only ONE SOLUTION = SEND IT BACK!
I've sent my second one back last week. If you look at a thread a few months ago regarding pictures of the inside, you can see that there are NO SCREWS in relation to the tightening of the slider. It's just metal sliding on metal so once it's worn, it's worn for good. With my typical usage these devices seem to have a life of about 4 months before I have to send them back. I'm waiting on number 3 now...
Hope this helps!

You mean they replace the whole unit? or just the metal thing?
I had mine a couple of weeks now, and when I got the unit, the keyboard was tight as a V..... but now, i can push it out with no effort, good thing its protected in a metal case.
Xda Repair
I sent mine back today for both a loose keyboard and the fact that pressing one button seems to activate like 2 or 3 others.
My keyboard became too loose to stay up very soon after I first got the unit. I did however spill coke all over it and after that the screen stayed up perfectly for months
Probably not a recommendable solution though.

How to fix the issue
You need to get a coffee can and then put the blue angel device in it. Fill it up with gas and light it afire. Now stop complaining and go buy a alpine. Blue Angel devices where the worst device HTC has ever released.

I fixed mine
The red color surrounds the responsible area of the mechanism slider.
So you just need tape and rubber matirial about 1mm thickness or use the same tape used on the housing "it's surrounded in yellow ", attach it from the back to force the cliper...
You can test the slider b4 closing the housing cover..
Do this at your own risk!!!
Good luck
the problem now is... how to open xda IIs ??
i already open from back side, but i can't separate the keyboard from the screen.... is there anyone who have step by step to separate keyboard from screen then we can solve this sliding problem.... thanks....
there are 4 screws holding the keyboard on the screen.. slide the keyboard all the way open and two are at the top and the other two you can access through holes on the keyboard that line up with them.. the parts that the keyboard slide on are not metal.. they are plastic and melted into place if you look closely.. you can take very small pieces of plastic and super glue them in the correct places to tighten the screen up some.. just takes a little enginuity
Hey all,
The side screws on my BA fell out! there are two opposite of eachother on the upper half ot the side of the screen. They are TINY, and i'm just wondering if anyone knows of where to get replacements, or of any screws that will fit. This annoys me much, thanks all.
Hi, i am trying to fix my Blueangel so that the slider stays put, it keeps going back down. I have seen a post about this before, but i cannot find it. Please if you can give me some aid, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
With the circuit board out, there is a piece of plastic in the middle left hand side, this pushed into a groove when the slide is open and this needs to be bent slightly to make better contact in the groove to hold the slide up.
If you do not manage it, I sell replacement m2000 slides on ebay:

I'm OK with taking things apart and putting them back together. Are there screen shots of someone taking the Blue Angel apart and fixing the stylus clip?
Please post
or even a video clip?
DIY Blueangle fix
Hi,
I had been using HTC BlueAngle for almost 2 years and very happy with it.
When I first got it, I dropped it the next day. The stylus holding clip was broken off. At first I tried to put tapes around the stylus to hold it in place.
It didn't work out at the end and I opened it up and put a piece of foam in the stylus tube to add fiction and avoid it fall out. I worked nicely.
I still love my BA even I am using HTC Universal most of the time.
Cheers
I have the same problem. Nice tip, thanks, I'll consider it too.
u dont have to do all that, the main reason it becomes loose is the bit of plastic that is attached to the frame gets weak... just open the back with the specialist screwdrivers which can be bought off ebay for nomore than £5 and either superglue it back into the correct place or just rest something like paper to make the plastic bit stick out a bit more so that the stylus gets a tighter fit....
go for the quick fix...just stick a 3mm width masking tape on the top part of the stylus and it is good to go. adjust the width of the tape according to how tight you want your stylus to be in place. HTH
This is my 1st posting on this forum although I've done a lot of reading regarding the battery cover but I think this is the correct solution.
To everyone that's having problems with the back plate battery cover warning messages or problems not booting up on your Dell PDA, I think I've found the answer, I have 2 Dell's PDA's, 1 a X51v & the other a X50v, I was having problems with both of them (1 had battery cover warning messages & the other had a screen freezing) so I stripped the 2 of them down when I had both rear shells together I noticed that the small piece of sponge that Dell fit to the latching mechanism one was on the far right of the latching plate on one & the other was in the middle of the plate, I looked to see which shell belong to which PDA & the one I was having problem with battery cover warning messages the sponge far right, so I swapped the back shells around & booted it up BINGO!!!!! problem solved, I'm fairly sure the SPONGE SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LATCH PLATE, if I'm right Dell engineers & executives should be shoot, such a simple fix why didn't they let owners know about this. This has got to be easier than trying to bridge the switch contacts or rip the switch off the board, give it a go guys, Please let me know if it works on your PDA. I will upload some photo should any of you guys need.

Hi Guys
Here are some photo's of the before & after showing where the sponge will be when your Dell PDA is faulty (not booting up or battery latch warning messages & where it needs to be repositioned to, the photo's should be self explanatory, I used some double sided tape to refix the sponge but super glue might work but don't blame me if it runs into the latch mechanize & gluing it up for ever, this does really work & better than messing about with the PCB. :good::good::good:
