anyone has the step by step guide to how to properly disassemble desire 816? my 1st teardown caused the speaker to crack on high volume i think, so now i need a proper guide to help me remove the lower speaker for checkups to see if i really broke the speaker or issit just dislocated, and also how to do replacement
and also does anyone know where can i get parts for navy blue back cover and the speaker? which they can deliver to my doorstep in malaysia? very very hard to find parts

Hi,
I have just got the HTC desire HD replacement digitizer and have tried to replace it but am stuck as I cannot remove the digitzer from the LCD screen.
The only disassemble video I can find says to put it 10 minutes on top of a special oven, but I do not have one of these.
Is there anyway I can replace this digitizer without one and does anyone know where there might be a video or step by step guide on how to change it, can find guides for almost every other phone but this one.
cheers

Hi,
For that "special oven" or heating plate, you could try a hairdryer probably.
But please exercise caution as you would not want to fry that beautiful object of desire.
I don't know if the video you came across is this: HTC Desire HD Disassembly Guide
This step-by-step guide might help too:
HTC Desire HD Disassembly Guide
Note the guy also suggested using a hairdryer or something.
But... Like he said.. "caution: do it with your own risk, i dont take any responsibilities if any part is broken or fail."
okay... i found some videos about....
i found it browsing for "inspire 4g"..
that´s the same device, but named different...
american version.....

STEP BY STEP VIDEO ABOUT DISSASEMBLY THE DESIRE HD: original of htc corp..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk&feature=related
EDIT: i seen it now here specifies that u need the special oven...
thanks for the advice that inspire video looks like it will help me figure it out, gonna give it a go tomorrow.
Next time i get a phone gonna definately make sure I have phone insurance
Phone insurance? Sounds like a plan.. That covers screen cracks and self-inflicted damage too.. Comprehensive cover. Fire & theft. LOL.
Keep updated on your progress. Might need to help my brother replace his as well. Just couldn't find time for now.

Just to let you know that after about a week phone is finally sorted, couldn't manage to get cracked digitizer off lcd, took it into a local phone repair shop and they couldn't manage it either so ended up having to replace LCD as well.
Have now invested in an otterbox case as well so if I manage to drop it again it will be a bit more protected.
Oooops.. Im waiting for the digitizer to arrive.. Ordered from eBay.. Now that's not too encouraging news for my brother.. Will try and see how it goes nevertheless...

Practical solution
Hello guys,
First possessor of a Hero, I needed to change the glass surface as well. No need to dry hair, just to have a radiator around 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, which is more than enough to soften the glue and peel off the glass. Then quickly put the new glass surface and once the glue has cooled, voila, it takes up exactly like the original. That's the hardest part of this operation is finally turning the phone for parts.
Good luck for the operation that appears much more difficult than it actually is.
Arma.
I have always used a hairdryer to loosen glue but a radiator would work too just as long as its not too hot. If it is you might find some of the plastic melting and changing shape, or worse, sticking itself to the radiator.
Also, you have to be wary of the solder joints too. To comply with EU standards the solder in electronic devices has to be lead free and that sort of solder is prone to cracking in the joints when heat is applied. Shouldnt be too much of a problem on a mobile level but that is the major cause of breakdowns in games consoles.
hey guys
my volume down button is not working anymore. it works sometimes, but i have to push reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hard
I just wanted to know if someone knows the solution
I've red this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304940 but I'm not sure if that's working with the desire
also, I just wanted to know if there is a way to maybe change the button, as the volume up button works really fine
another solution could be spraying insinde this??
http://www.castrolmoto.com/en/products/dwf.php
or the WD40
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40
same problem here. would be great to know if there is a solution.
im not sure but there is probably a guide to cleaning buttons somewhere on xda r youtube etc etc. personaly i would NOT use wd40 on my phone as it probably would do more damage, i mean i use wd40 on my car engine. it looks like a hardware issue so i would try cleaning around the buttons etc, following a good guide

There's a video on youtube how to disassemble the Desire. It's on German, but you see what you have to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWkTYvSk9Ys
I'd recommend to open the device and look if you can repair something from within.
I had this and it was pretty easy to fix.
Dissemble your phone until you can access the volume buttons, carefully peal back the black plastic that surrounds them and then clean the silver domes and contacts with isopropyl alcohol or similar on a q-tip. If the domes are cracked or split then you'll ideally need to replace them. Once everything is clean and dry, reapply the tape and reassemble.
This made mine more reliable and easy to press than when I first got the phone!

how do I disassemble it?
last time I disassembled a phone all the dust got under the screen and it was worse than the worst awful phone...
It's pretty simple and you should be able to find a few guides on google.
As for dust under your screen, iirc you shouldn't need to remove the lcd from the phone to do this so it's a non issue.
http://www.formymobile.co.uk/desiredisassembly.php seems good enough for this, stop when you can (carefully) flip out the buttons or if you want easier access, when the pcb/circuit board is out. In terms of phones to take apart the desire is very easy

Yeah i bought red one. but you can't do it without a new LCD screen maybe. . My current one is black... changed the battery part once. but still don't know how to change the housing... i hope someone can teach us..

Well, let me try... If you changed the battery, you already know how to replace the backplate, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you want to replace the midframe/housing, that's quite a bit more work, but still doable, if you are comfortable working with heat gun or hair dryer. I would strongly recommend watching some YouTube videos on the subject (phone model doesn't matter; you just need to understand how to work with a heat gun and a suction cup). Also, finding a good disassembly guide for ZL would be useful, to make sure you follow the teardown steps properly.
Note that I personally haven't done a full ZL disassembly, but I know how it's put together, and I have done similar repairs on multiple other phones, including Xperia Z, Z1, LG G2, Galaxy S2 and others. Basically, you need to remove the backplate, then disconnect everything and remove all components accessible from the back, making sure not to damage ribbon cables in the process (some of them are very delicate). This is where a good disassembly guide comes in very handy. After that, you are left with the most difficult task: removing the display/digitizer assembly without damaging it. You need to carefully (that's the keyword here!) heat it up around the perimeter to loosen up the adhesive, and carefully pull it from the housing with a suction cup, working your way around the edge with a plastic spudger, or a guitar pick, or a similar tool. At this stage, you can quite easily break the glass, or split the LCD/digitizer "sandwich", so, again, be careful!
If you have no experience whatsoever doing this, your screen's chances of survival are quite slim. I am pretty handy with electronics and with stuff in general, and literally spent years with soldering iron in my hands. Still, my first two attempts were fudged up (the screen was already damaged in both cases, so no harm done, but lessons learned). First time, I fried the display with a heat gun. Second time, cracked the glass trying to separate it from the housing. That was enough for me to learn the tricks. So, be prepared to replace the screen, if you break it. But hey, you may very well get lucky, and do it right the first time around...
Assuming you are through the disassembly process, you will then need to put the phone back together in your new housing, using two adhesive gaskets: one for the display, and another for the backplate. I would recommend buying the proper pre-cut adhesive for your phone (check out Amazon or eBay), but you can also use a narrow high-quality double-sided tape (3M or similar), manually cut in place.
Good luck!
Tried googling up but it seemed that there are no guide for changing the housing for xperia zl.
But oh well, maybe I need to buy the lcd screen just in case I failed. But thanks! That'll boost my spirit up to do it
I was wondering of there was any guides to replace a speaker on the N7 as one of mine has gone or would it be better to send it to RMA.
There is a teardown (including the speakers) here:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/1
But it looks like chances are pretty high that you will damage the back cover when disassembling it.
The screen of the my lg g3 Broke
I want to buy original screen of lg... And I want to fix alone, Accompanied by guidance in Web, YouTube or something.
So... has in ebay or aliexpres original Screen for sale?
And what i should order? Just a screen or "touch" also ?
How does it work?
thank you :good:
Its not hard to do. I bought Lcd and front bezel together with screwdrivers and guitar pick for 55eur on eBay
It's obvious a screen that failed lg quality testing as it's a bit imprecise
Grand mostly tho
But do take care with speakers etc
And you'll need a hairdryer
If u have some experience of soldering and know how of internals then go for it otherwise give it some certified technician ... U can damage internals on ur own
Just buy the complete screen assembly from somewhere like etradesupply and swap that out.
Will save you the most headache in the end trust me...
Search my G2 screen replacement thread if you have some time...think you may like it
