it's not a pretty job and HTC are actually pretty reasonable when it comes to fixing these.
there's a guide on the wiki but it's not a pleasant process and it's quite risky...
Alternative dismantling guide and Service Manual here:

Ok, despite many hours searching around the site trying to find an idiots guide to ROM and all the rest, I am still clueless.
I have no problem in admiting that I have absolutely no idea what a ROM is, or why I should upgrade, or why the MDA one is better than the o2 one etc etc...........
If someone with an idea can spare 5 mins to reply to this and give me a brief intro as to the what's, why's and when's I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
HPJ
spend some time in WIKI
both in Himalaya and BlueAngel
There are much alike. Himalaya is older and has a more complete section, but BlueAngel is catching up

Thanks for the link. Appreciate it.
Thank you, very informative...
i would like to add more information to it with components identification and more details about disassembling and assembling. but for this i need to remove binding around the chips, which is not something i am ready to do at the moment.
on a reality it is very quick to disassemble this device. takes about 10 min. to take it apart. construction looks better thought-out compared to Prophet for example.
no wifi
I opened mda Compact III arte110 and there is no wifi antenna.

You right.
And chip is also missing on the board.
The bad thing is that some people when they were buying this device did not know about the fact that Wi-Fi functionality is missing, and sellers were not much informed, as well. Bad trick..
regards,
anyone care to give me some tip on how to get the catches on page 8,9,10 to let go of the case?
I really can't seem to get it loose.
In the PDF this step is described as hard, but there is no indication how the author did it.
I have ordered myself some tools for caseopening.. so I'm hoping the whole prosess is easier then.
If anyone have opened this case, perhaps can sheld some light on how they did this step.
okey. seems a bent tweezer works ok.
horizontal in, behind the hooks, then pull

u have checked that the chip is also missing, and seen it with ur own eyes or are you just stating other information...cuz if only the antenna is missing, one could think of a solution...
I needed to replace my screen recently and found the Artemis-inside pdf to be only useful up to a point. Wrote my own guide in case people might find it useful:

Very interesting docs. Thank you both!
Hi all,
i recently acquired a Prophet case from njbridges which came in with all necessary tools to change the case.
i have checked but have not been able to find a clear step by step procedure to actually change the case my self.
i even checked the modaco site. after a while it gets a bit fuzzy. can any one shed some light on this subject; possibly make a sticky.
thanks in advance

The MoDaCo explanation is the best one I've found... I think there's a discussion going on about adding a proper 'how to' to the Wiki and not just having a link.

OKAY, HERE IS THE HELPFUL LINK ON OUR HERMES
http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html
the only thing you might need is the microphone. but where to get it in your country i don't know. you can try the microphone of some old broken phone (this one you can get from your friends in some dervice center).
you can try pdacenter.ru or ebay.com
hope this can help you someway.
Go to Mike's Channon page, download service manual and dismantle your hermes.
Getting to the mic is really easy, you will end the proccess in the few first steps, the most problematic ones won't be neccessary
Don't be afraid, it's not so hard. Just make sure you have a good soldering tool, and remember not to overheating the board.
Good luck!
Have a look in Hermes Service manual. You should find everything you need.

you d better use the pages utak3r and I gave you (the same ones)
there you can find not only servicee manuals, but video on dissaaamling device.

hi 2 all again!!!
i'm looked Mike's Channon page, but there only have Hermes Fuse Location.pdf & Hermes Service Manual _A03_[2].pdf (in this PDF files don't have Microphone FiX how to )
and i founded all master tools, soldering tools toooo
I just don't want BAD confusion , or something to do with motherboard!!!
please help, have another way to change my microphone manually by me
Just use this service manual to dismantle your mainboard from the rest (no need for further dismantling). The mic is located at the bottom of the board, covered with a small piece of gum - just replace it... I doubt you can find an exact instruction of how to do it - just unsolder the old one and solder the new one

Hi Friends,
I have been using i-mate JAMA for last few years and I am very much addicted in using it and experimenting lot of stuff that goes over this forum.
I had upgraded to WM6.1 and now, my phone has got minor damages on the panel. As I can not afford a new mobile (being jobless for a while), I am thinking to source a faceplate for the same and replace it?
I had searched for the same through google, but could not find much help.
I request you all the esteemed members throw some light on where to get the compatible faceplate for my i-mate JAMA?
Appreciate your valuable inputs.
regards,
pk
I have not got any reply to my above request.
I am searching in google and just wanted to check whether any of the below phone's faceplate fits for i-mate JAMA?
1. Dopod 818
friends, someone can please help me here?
