[Q] Replacement LCD screen for atom

does any one know of a link/site etc that supply LCD screen for Atom?
silly question...is it the same LCD as the magician? hmhm. I have tryed the usual places (ebay, google) but with no luck. (well, non that i could see).
any info is appreciated a as usual

My LCD is dead
May be anybody know where i can bay new LCD for my Atom?

I had the same problem, but after many hours of searching nothing came up.
So, i've sent it to official support @ Hong Kong.

yep me too. Apparently, o2 does not allow the repair centres to sell the lcds to the public. Now I have to pay almost AU$400 to have it repalced by the Australian repair centre.
Its a joke considering the price is only AU$150 from the Thailand repair centre (I got a sale quote for the lcd but then they told me they cant sell it to me because I am not a repair centre :x ).

FINALLY!!!!

easy to fit,

supply lcdscreen from china
hello all, any one who want lcdscreen, and also other accessories of pda, please contact me, we are a chinese company locates in ShenZhen.

I just ordered a new screen for my IPAQ 6815 for €75 incl. shipping from Ebay. It's probably arriving next week. Got it from seller hongkongop. If you can't find a cheap one, remember that the next PDA's use the same (NEC) screen:
- O2 Atom/Atom Exec/Atom life
- Mita C Mio A700/A701
- HP iPAQ 6800 6812 6815 6818 6828

Changing and getting a NEW LCD screen for O2 Atom is easy!!
I have broken my LCD screen for O2 atom before and went through the horrible same pain of only being able to receive the phone call and calling the last person who you previously talked to.
Getting a new LCD screen is easy. Now, there are many sellers on eBay who sells new LCD screens. However, one of the hardest part was to find out how to change it.
Believe it or not, O2 is one of the most easiest handset to dissemble. I found my guide on google which was in chinese, however, the pictures themselves were pretty much self explanatory.
Hope this helps.

I have the replacement LCD for the Atom, as well as the touchscreen.
The LCD is $80. The touchscreen is $8.
PM me if you would like more information.

My LCD screen (front part) was crack last week and I decide to pop in to O2 authorize service center to ask for replacing. You know how much their charge? Dam.... expensive RM535 (Diagnosis+labor+LCD) even it is still under warranty.
Of course, I'm not proceed. Next I walk out and went to the freelance services center who situated in opposite building and try my luck.Guys, I am lucky (although go to paid for it) and manage to fix this crack by paying RM190 which include the screen protector.

How does Russian work?
http://mikechannon.net/index.html has a number of manuals. Dissassembly on this page http://mikechannon.net/Manuals Page 3.htm
The dissassembly manual for the Atom is here http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_hp_rw_6815/ (ignore that it is a HP)
There are online service manuals for $10 in places
I'm about to replace my LCD - I'll see how I go...

This is much harder than I thought it would be!
***Warning do not attempt replacing just the touch screen unless you are extremely technically proficient (i.e. you can solder under a microscope.
If you want to replace a LCD and touch screen in one unit it would be easier, but my connection is no longer good and I'm getting flickering!! Tips anyone?
I was hoping to wait for a HTC diamond to come to Australia, but looks like I might be forced into going for something else
Unless I could stand a few months of no PDA...

Anyone know where to get HTC mainboards?

I've recently gotten into the hobby of buying broken phones and reselling them for just enough more to cover my costs. (that's why i'm calling it a hobby).
However, I recently purchased a pretty smashed up Tilt - it needed a new LCD and an entirely new housing.
After investing that $140, I've come to find that the mainboard is probably bad, as it wont power on.
Rather than toss my money in the crapper, I want to see about replacing the mainboard, but cant find ANYONE who sells them online...perhaps I'm searching by the wrong terms, but I'm no web n00b...and I'm coming up blank.
Does anyone know of a reputable website whereby I can purchase items like the mainboard for the Tilt? Does anyone who reads these forums WORK for HTC, and like to strike a deal?
Please, PM me if you know anyone that sells these hard-to-find HTC parts...
Thanks!!

You might as well have just bought a new one!
Your best bet is to buy a broken one off Ebay, mainboards will be the domain of HTC repair specialists only and will probably need to be bought in bulk. They would also no doubt cost more than a broken second-hand device would.

Would be a rather boring hobby, buying working phones, dont you think?
But yes, this one is costing me a bit more than I care to admit....fortunately, I think I can probably sell off parts and recoup some of the money spent.... at least, once I call off the search for a replacement mainboard.

i remember trying to source a mainboard for an athena a while back and it was akin to getting blood out of a stone! I rang everyone i could find the number for and got no-where. You can buy a tilt for about 150gbp on ebay so one with a broken screen and housing damage (but a functioning mainboard) would doubtless set you back very little

Hello.
I recently killed my HTC TyTN II.
I know it needs a working Mainboard.
I want to give you an idea,about my 2 cents as Mcmexican says.
You need to go to a HTC Taiwain site and regiter as a Reseler or repairer. Probably you can get these kind of things in deeper sources.
Im telling you that,cause youre saying you have the hobbie to fix them. Me to,but im unemployed,trying to get a job,im broke. So it seems i dont have time and economic positive status to do it myself. And im in Portugal,momentaniously in an Economic crisis..
Im on an exausting search,cause im in an unknown new town,and need the GPS,that my Qtek 9100 doesnt have..
PPl in this forum could work all together to also get Mainboards at a affordable price,for ppl with less economic positive status.
I will start a new thread about that.
Thanks for reading this ppl.
We need Mainboards at a fair price .

I'll fix your HTC phone or provide parts

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.

http://i25.tinypic.com/22dcb4.jpg

I'll check my inventory tomorrow. The shop is closed for today, it being the 4th of July and all.

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.
M.S

@h4waii
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.

One of the give aways in buying this product is CoPilot Live 7 with free city map. I choose Muscat in Oman in English but I can not activate it. I went to the dealer but he wants me to pay to activate it.

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.

Replacement housing for Excalibur

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.

wow if that works it WILL be great!

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?

Lots of gadgets over there, I order random stuff all the time....

Thinking of buying but...

I found an ad for 15$ for a Desire with a broken screen., How easy would it be for me to relapse the screen with a new one and how easy would this be to do? Also does anyone know somewhere in the Vancouver area where they would be able to do this

There exists a guide for this here on xda, when I remember correctly. Try the search.
