PROBLEM:I have an SX66 which has a broken screen. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money on it. (This is an experiment to see what improvement over my Wizard the BA is)
I also happen to have a Verizon XV6600 which no one seems to want? It seems to be a 0x4. The Siemens may be an Ox6??
I know before taking them apart that there is a Topopoly and a Sony screen and cant figure out when HTC used either or for what reason or if they just depend on which screens they had in stock when they made the units. Before I start taking the Mint CDMA Verizon apart: Does anyone know if the two screens (and presumably digitisers as well) are interchangeable please?
Sorry to ask hardware question on XDA (Where DO you ask these questions?)
They DO interchange although the instructions are only fairly useful: There is a relatively obvious screw which isn't mentioned AND it might have been worthwhile saying whether you CAN or CAN'T simply interchange the whole frontal assembly instead of taking the whole thing apart down to every screw and PCB just to get a new screen in.

Hey!
Can anyone point me to a place where i can buy a new display for my S710 ? As the one i have is broken..
~D
Oh and they have to ship worldwide..
If you want to replace it by yourself, you should have a clear idea that what's the lcd screen you want.
For safe sake, you'd better take apart you pda first to get the part number of the lcd screen, then you can get the right lcdscreen to replace it.
You can contact me after you get the number, i will check whether we have it in our stock.

Thanks! I will do that..
I need the exact same part and have been looking everywhere, nobody sells it. The only way I have found to repair it is through HTC who won't sell me the screen unless I pay them to fit it at £92 + vat! I paid £200 for the phone so there's no way I am paying that much. Anyone know where we can get one?
providing us with the part number would be helpful
any identification numbers on the lcd module itself would be helpful particularly a manufacturers name as there may be issues with using the same type of lcd but made by a different manufacturer
Okay i don't know if this can help others, but i have taken my S710 apart and after some sweat and a long time i got to the LCD display.. Heres what typed on it..
PN: 60H00088-00M
But there is no manufactor .. as far as i can see..
Hi, I'm looking for this LCD screen also. If anybody know's where to find, i'm in.
Best regards,

Hello
I am from the Philippines and I need housing and front keypad and membrane for my vox. How much and how long will it be shipped to my couintry?
Hope to hear from you
I have noticed I had the same issue with the original Tilt, and not I am having it with the Tilt 2 (TP2). After long-term use, over time the two halves no longer close flush (slides a tad further than it should), suggesting there might be something bending or stretching everytime you close it. It closes pretty hard so there is a good chance for wear but I haven't been able to figure out yet by tinkering with it what could be a solution.
Has anyone noticed this or figured out a solution? I know it's just a simple cosmetic issue and doesn't kill the phone but for some reason it caught my attention and has become an obsession to know more

I had the same issue. Return it for a warranty exchange. Read my post HERE about my experience. I use T-Mobile, so I wouldn't expect you to have the same level of customer service from AT&T. I'm not trying to be rude there. I've had them before, and there is no comparison between T-Mobile's customer service and AT&T's.
Keep in mind that you do have a warranty on the device for one year from the time of ORIGINAL purchase. If you get the phone second-hand from ebay, you still have a warranty that continues from the original time that person purchased the device. For example:
Frank buys a TP2 in May from AT&T. Frank sells the TP2 to you in August. You now own the device and continue on his warranty, which is now your warranty, until it expires in May of the following year.
I hope this was helpful.

This is true but Idk if it's worth sending back and getting a whole new phone. Eventually the new one will start to do it too. Plus, it's a sign of simple wear-n-tear so I don't think that's covered under the warranty. I was just wondering if anyone else ran into it and discovered a tweak to align it back up. It works perfectly fine, it's just a small blemish and it triggered my interests

Once again, I can't speak for AT&T, but T-Mobile considers it a physical defect in the device and completely covers it. There isn't really a way to realign it simply. I couldn't isolate the exact cause after pulling mine apart. It could either be the rails, slides, or rivets holding it together. I figured it was free to send it back, but around $40 for a replacement defective device to use for parts. There are no "parts" to be had for this device. You pretty much have to purchase someone else's dead phone to scrap.
It may be something as easy as removing a screw or two and bending something slightly and putting it back together though. I really don't think my issue is an issue of replacing parts more than it is adjusting something. I think that opening the phone so many times bends or places force on something. Finding out what that something is will determine if it will cost, be an easy fix, or have to send it back.
I am one of the "lucky" few who have a phone that reboots when using GPS Navigation and now pretty much while doing anything intensive on the phone. When it reboots I get the 5 vibrations and flashing green LED. A battery pull and sometimes a long wait period are required to get it back up and running until it chooses to reboot again (same cycle). Flashing back to stock and un-rooting does not help, nor does flashing a different radio (I've tried them all). Anyway, this problem is all over the net and it seems the only cure is replacing the phone. I don't have that option because I have no warranty.
Enough of the background....
I am planning to purchase a 'for parts' Inc off Ebay. There are several where the screen is just broken but everything else supposedly works (clean ESNs). I intend to buy one of those and basically transplant the motherboard into mine. I've had mine apart already, so I know I can perform the task.
My questions...
1) What if the 'parts' phone I purchase has a SLCD screen? I plan to use my AMOLED screen. Would it work to use my AMOLED screen with a motherboard from a a phone that currently has an SLCD?
2) Any other reasons my proposed methodology won't work? I don't plan to replace anything that required soldering, so this should be pretty straight forward.

The AMOLED device won't work in the SLCD device because the drive electronics integrated into the board for the AMOLED are different.

Thank you. That's just the information I was looking for. <mashing the ty button>
My Dinc had the same problem as yours. Basically the ball array that connects the processor to the board is failing.
Take a look at this thread..
Solving the thermal problems of HD2 or other snapdragon
I heated my processor and managed to save my phone. It is definitely a last ditch effort, but if you are going to buy another motherboard it might be worth a shot.

Wow... That's pretty hard-core phone repair! Just...... Wow.
I had done just the basic pc builds & repairs until I attempted this. It was a little intimidating, but I love my phone again!
Ok so I recently learned how to completely disassemble and reassemble the Evo, so my question is whether or not it's possible to install a different screen other than the stock one. Perhaps a SAMOLED or S-LCD (like the one in the thunderbolt)? Also is it possible to replace the cellular radio or does that require replacing the entire logic board? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am a noob.
I remember a question like this not too long ago. You can't replace any hardware from your phone because the other components wouldn't match and would most likely malfunction your device. The screens wouldn't fit because of the unique shape the phone is and so on. Sorry I can't give more detailed description or examples. I'm just basing it off what I read in this forum a couple months ago.

yeah I figured there would be some difficulties, but still c'mon, how cool would that be. Seriously though, are there any experts out there that have actually tried it? Please feel free to chime in.
Hey guys,
Just signed up to ask a few questions, a very good friend of mine had her phone (T-mobile Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-T989) run over the other day. Needless to say she is not very tech savvy. She has a new S4 now. Now the problem is, that being she is not so tech savvy she didn't back up (ever?) So i am looking to somehow recover lost pictures and contacts if possible.
Now I have a small background in building computers and taking stuff apart so I agreed to take a look at the phone. The screen is shot. but besides that the other internals look fine. Nothing is broken as far as i can tell. When I plug the phone in with the battery nothing comes up at all, except when i leave it plugged in for a little bit the LED under the camera will flash about once every minute or so.
So i guess the question i have is did the motherboard somehow short circuit when it was run over? Has anyone had experience with a situation similar to this before?
And is there a way to get the phone on long enough to recover the lost info?
Help would be much appreciated if possible.
Justin
As phones don't have an actual hard drive, I doubt you can recover anything from a phone that isn't running.
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
This is not easy, but can be done. I have done similar recoveries several times…
You’ll need:
1) The equipment & ability to remove a surface mount soldered chip, and re-solder it onto another board *without* damaging it.
2) Another identical phone to host the transplanted chip.
3) A service manual, or someone with intimate knowledge of the device, to identify the correct chip…
Note that if the pix were encrypted this will not work…
