[Q] Joining a broken stylus for xda atom

After broken my stylus for 4 times & buying a stylus is quite expensive in my country, this is my way of joining the stylus. No issue of worry of dropping this stylus anymore.
Sorry...The photo below not so sharp as I used the O2 to take the photos.
1. Things required:-
a. two needles
b. pair of pliers
c. Fast bonding adhesive /glue
My way of joining the broken stylus
2. Heat the needle until it is glowing red & pokes the in needle at end of the broken stylus as photo below. Try to poke the needle as deep as possible, the deeper the better. But 1cm will do.

3. Make sure needle is strongly stick to the stylus. -------------4. Cut the needle between ½ to 1 cm.
5. The other broken part of the stylus (the black plastic one).------------6. Make a hole to the plastic part of the broken stylus
7. Joining the both parts. --------------------------------------------------- 8. Done

Thanks for the idea.

I bought this and solved problem Full plastic...

You could always try and find a metal stylus but still a good tutorial. You should put [Tutorial] Before the thread name so people dont think you're asking a question.

I experienced "broken stylus" before also, and I only join the 'metal part' and 'plastic part' by using the 'fast dry glue', until now still using it
Anyway, your tutorial was not bad huh!! Thanks for your tutorial!!

thank you very much, I will try

aw man i wish i saw this before. i tried using glue before but didn't work out so i just threw it away

[Q] GPS Antenna fried? pics inside!

Lately, i've not been getting any GPS fix. I've tried the conventional way, putting pressure on the antenna cap, and using several apps. nothing worked.
On youtube i saw a way to pop off the cap of the GPS antenna and flashlight.
When i opened it, it looked like this:
2 black spots on the contact!
What's that? fried? so that's the reason for no connection at all?
so what next?
1: a blob of solder on it?
2: connect it with a wire between the 2 springs?
3: buy a new cap?

Where do you see black spots on the contacts?
And if you had black spots on the contacts, the electronics would probably be fried too.

well, its not visable on the photo but in the circles is definitly a black spot!
here it show's up as grayish :S

dont worry, its not fried.
the black spots are the normal signs of wear.
i (and many others) have/had the same problems.
some soldered wires between the 2 golden springs.
another thing you can do is lift the golden springs just a bit, so that they make better contact with the antenna cover. but thats not permanent and in a few weeks, you will have to do it again.
i just put a (little) blob of solder on each contact of the cover.
be careful if you do this. the golden traces of the antenna are just painted on and you burn them really quickly, so best just put a bit of solder on the tip of your iron and briefly touch the contacts, because they are so thin and warm up really fast, the solder should flow over quickly.

Ok, I'll try that, if not, i just order a new antenna cap
I'll keep you posted if it works or not!

Screen with lines multi colored!!

Hi, I have a big problem with my desire!
I lent several months my old desire a family member .. It has not been very careful and had no protective case he does not like it .. The phone was still working when I was handed.. However, the fully plastic housing was very scratched and small pines broken.
So i order a housing from ebay. I followed this video on youtube to disassemble the phone : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU&feature=relmfu
I assembled the phone later and I have a problem with the screen. I tried several times to reset the screen .. the screen is beautiful no scratched.
Here is my picture:

The screen is broken, you need to replace it.

Dunno but i would take it apart again and just make its all put back together properly, u never know, u coulda missed something or something not connected right.

Hi,
I disassemble several times and everything seems normal. Except that the GPS connector is broken because its a very thin wire .. but I do not think it is connected!

The glass do not have to be broken, but as i said before this looks like faulty lcd or the connector. However i would say it's fault lcd, 'cos connector would rather give you a light gray screen.
Looks like it gets 'bloated'...

This is strange because the screen is in good condition and the connector too as everything is connected. So you think it is the lcd has a problem .. I disassemble again yesterday and no improvements. However, the volume buttons on the connector that is connected to a part of the motherboard's detached. Possible to fix?

Screen doesn't need to be broken to be fault.
If it was me - i would say the screen is broken and i would replace it as it looks so. But i can't promise that's it, sorry.

I'll wait in case , thanks for your time!

OnePlus Loop VR/AntVr Headset

ive just received mine now (uk), the package comes with a simple instruction manual and cleaning cloth aswell as an additional strap that attaches from the top of the headset to the strap that goes behing the head.
The inner lenses are protected by a blue plastic film and also the soft foam headpiece is removable so that it is able to be cleaned, the soft foam insert it is attached to the headset with velcro on the headset side only
all i can say about this headset is that it hurts my nose

I received mine today, and I agree, its painful to wear for any longer than a few mins, I can't believe they didn't put any padding on the nose part, the whole weight of the headset rests on my nose and its uncomfortable. I'll have to try and find some foam to try and stick on to it

Wear using the head strap (the upper one). It takes the weight from hurting the nose.

Good Suggestion.

I found a pretty good solution on reddit, if you take the foam padding off and put it back on upside down, it gives your nose some padding and its much more comfortable to wear. The padding is Velcro so its easy to take off and put back on.
Its not a perfect solution but it works for me.

Carlinkit CarPlay Ai Box disassembly?

Anyone ever open one of these up? Non-destructively, of course. With summer coming up I'd like to try to 3d print a new enclosure for it to improve heat dissipation and possibly pop some heatsinks on important bits. I'm assuming there are screws under the rubber pads on the bottom, but I don't have access to it right now and thought I'd see if anyone has opened one up before... Thanks!

As a follow up, small screw under each of the 4 pads on the bottom. Antennas are connected to top part of case via pogo pins.

Did you manage to creat 3d print to improve the cooling system? I have the same model EAU and i have big issue with overheating (91.8 °C was maximum) i have a lot of reboots... As someone answered above, the antennas are connected to the top cover using spring pins, so the back holds the front end in place to connect to the antennas. I was thinking that we could mount a 40mm fan on the back of the equipment, having a 3d printed case
