Changing the furniture... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi there,
Are there any instructions on how to change the casing on the exec model? I have just got hold of a slightly damaged one and have a replacement kit but no instructions. I could just go for it, but don't want to make any mistakes (this time!!)
Thanks guys,
Brian

Look for Service Manual and follow the instructions exactly. The biggest pitfalls are: tiny magnet next to the screen - most people forget to transfer it to the new case, which means the auto screen orientation will no longer work; when opening the screen casing itself, there is a trick to it - you must press at certain locations to make it pop open, seen too many screws and cases damaged with people trying to force their way in; the flex cable and hinge are probably the trickiest things to change over - take care not to damage anything.

Damaged screen

Hi,
This is my first post here so I hope it's in the correct place.
I've got a Universal with a damaged screen (I trod on it ). Does any one know if it's possible to get a replacement (in the UK if possible)? If so, could you please tell me where from. Also, has anyone out there actually changed a screen on a Universal.? It looks a bit difficult to get the screen apart: I'm not sure where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Hi, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I dropped my Qtek 9000 on the floor and the screen broke. I bought a new LCD screen on ebay and replaced the screen my self. It was not very difficult and you only have to unscrew a total of 8 screws to do the job. I used the service manual to get some guidance in how to remove the screen.
Try these guys
I've not used them but remembered seeing them being talked about elsewhere in the forum.

broken screen (touch works)

Hello i've got a strange issue,
i dropped the phone and the screen seems broken. the glass looks cracked but the screen works fine. the touch is great everything is ok , but the screen looks cracked. (look attached image).
i have a mirror screen protection which i think protected the screen when the phone fell off.
i want to replace the screen with a new one.
saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Screen-Digi...ccessories?hash=item5ad5e29e88#ht_3863wt_1165
you think is a good idea? you think that if i try to replace the screen then i will damage the touch screen system? is it easy to replace?
Seems like a good idea if you ask me, if they say it fits & will work I would have no reason to think otherwise. Please post up a guide on how you go about doing it though. For only 30bucks, is it worth not giving it a go?
Yes i am thinking of it. anybody has directions or anything? any ideas?
u think that the touch screen is affected or just the digitizer's glass?
hi, i have had the same problem. i have also bought a new digitizer on ebay and changed it. but handle with care, the digitizer is glued into the upper frame. the frame is metal and easily deformed.
sorry for my bad english...
hey
thanks for the directions
do u have photographs of the operation?
if not, can you describe me in more detail the operation? you unscrew the screws behind the screen right? you didn't remove the keypad from the screen?
Here is one site to get the parts or to just learn about what you need, https://www.gsm4world.us/touch-pro-2-p-495_210.html. You need this, https://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-pro2-pro-ii-touch-screen-digitizer-lens-glass-d-02761_495.html, which is cheaper than what you found on eBay. Do a serach on Youtube for videos of how to replace it. Good luck getting it fixed. Report back with some pics for all of us.
Quick question...in the screenshot above in the OP, the connection manager shows an entry for "Wifi Router"...is that a default feature of the unbranded HTC Rhodium ROM?
I installed the "HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499#post4170499
...but that doesn't create an entry in the connection manager like the one I see above, can anybody clarify where that one comes from?

You are hijacking the thread. Your question probably should have been asked via pm, that's Private Message. The board is hard enough to read so when the threads get hijacked it makes it even more difficult. In addition, it disrespects the OP (Original Poster). If anyone has a response for sirphunkee (cool nic) then please send it via pm. Don't junk up the thread. Thank you.

htc droid incredible teardown

im trying to repair a friend's incredible of mine and he said that ever since he replaced his cracked screen the power button hasn't been able to turn on the phone. So what i did is try to open the phone up myself and see if he is missing any parts from the mobo. If you guys have any pictures of the mobo of this phone it would help me identify what could be wrong.

You're best bet it to try to find copies of the FCC approval teardown. Often, but not always, they're floating around out there.

alright thanks and i actually did figure out the problem. There's a small part missing from the power button that keeps the phone from turning on. I was able to use a small object to poke it and it works. but i will need those fcc approval teardown pics. so thanks for the suggestion

OMG..!!! The very subject line made me think outside of phones!!!! Sorry, don't mean to be mean, just giggling.
Did you try taking it to the service center?
I agree it is pretty funny. But i dont have any warranty for the phone so I was just going to change it out myself assuming it was not too difficult.But i cannot find a write up or anything like that. So any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the links. I saw the tear down of the entire phone, that's what i was going to try and follow. Hopefully all goes well. going to order the new motor and a new front screen as well and get them replaced.
Thank You

Same here.
I'd suggest using Krazy Glue or any form or Cyanoacrylate to secure it in place.
Well, i opened up the phone yesterday to see if it had come loose. but it is still held in place with its double stick tape. So i assume it's broken on the inside. So i will be ordering a new and gluing it into place hah.

Need to know the location of internal Gsm antenna

My mobiles network signal picking capability has drastically reduced after i have opened the backcase. I guess my internal gsm antenna has been damaged after i have opened the case. Please tell me the location where internal gsm module is located in our mobiles motherboard. It would be easy for me to understand if anyone could take a image and post it.
Thnks in advane

I definitely don't want to open my phone to take a photo, but here is a picture from a service manual. I marked the actual antenna assembly on it. You can also download the full set of ZL service manuals here.

Thanks a lot for the link. Highly informational. Opened my mobile for looking for any damages to the antenna. Previously, when i had given my phone to a local service center for a microphone issue. The have modded the circuit and seems that they have damaged the antenna in the process. I have searched online for getting a spare antenna but in vain. Could you please guide me online where i could get a spare.
Model no : Xperia ZL C6502

Thats k. Thnks for the reply
Just a thought... Why not take it back to the repair shop? If there are signs of them damaging the antenna, try pushing them to fix it.
Also, some things can be fairly easily repaired at home. Having no idea what the damage actually is, it's hard to say, but creative thinking and a good handywork can go a long way...
