Void warranty sticker

Has anyone's void warranty sticker ever fallen off of their HTC phone?
HTC is telling me that they can't repair my phone under warranty because some sticker is not on the phone. I never opened it nor sent it in for repair! They want to charge me $145.50 for a free repair under warranty! Anyone have a good defense for this?

That is realy bad:
These stickers have been made to break in case of removal.
It hadn't been there in the first place AND passed QC, the odds are slim that HTC will believe this.
Not that I am saying that you are lying, just that HTC doesn't believe that it could happen.
IMHO there is nothing you can do if you got a phone without void sticker and HTC denies you your warranty.
Best of luck!

Ya, I'm not sure if it wasn't put on from the factory or if it fell off with my obsessive usage. lol

basically its a sticker that goes over a srew, to open the case you have to remove the sticker or damage the sticker.....
if it was water damage you can fix that lol

They say I need to replace the flexboard. Anyone have any suggestions?
The doesn't respond and the earpiece doesn't work.
I dont really want to pay $145 for a phone im going to use for 9 more months...

I doubt you can replace a flexboard by yourself if you hadn't had any experience with these things.
you can go over to your device's specific section in the forum and look it up.. see if there's any info on this. hope you find something

Depending on the device the flexboard could be bought for relatively cheap, and with the help of the service manual you could assemble it yourself (if you have some degree of mechanical insight and know how to hold some basic tools).
Just keep track of all the screws and be gentile with the device..

void sticker
does anyone know of any place i can purchase one of the screw cover void stickers?

In search of Void stickers
I got my phone a couple of weeks after it came out. Then shortly after I rooted it and installed a custom rom. Everything was fine until about a month or so later when I noticed dust gathering at the bottom left corner of the screen. So I figureed I can disassemble it and when I was half way pulling it apart, I realized its too risky! Needless to say I removed the Void sticker...guess my only option is to find a sticker and un-root the phone so I can send it for repair. Any one know where I can get my hands on this tiny little things? Any help is much appreciated!

Sliding cover broken. Covered under warranty?

The ridiculous sliding mechanism that covers the ribbon cable behind the screen has got jammed open on my Raph.
I knew this was going to break from day 1 - it's a flimsy looking thing and has always been noisy, rattlley and stiff on my device.
Has anyone else had this problem? Are HTC likely to say it's my fault? I can't see any way I could possibly break this without damaging the rest of the device! Surely it's a manufacturing fault?
Cheers,
Mike

[Q] Digitizer not working properly

I've tried to clean the dust that was under the screen and after i reassembled it, the touch screen was not working properly (doesn't recognize touch on some spots, recognizes 2 touches instead of 1 on some spots).
Does it mean the digitizer needs to be replaced or is it something else?

If you removed the digitizer to clean the dust, the most likely fault is that you did not clip the ribbon back on properly, Either that or its become damaged...
The only issue that comes with touch lag, is when the digitizer has been replaced, And theres a thread in the accessory part that explains about that.
If you suffered dust under the screen, you should have sent it for repair.. now that you have took the phone apart, your warranty will now be void.
you may as well take it apart again and double check everything is in the correct place, and nothing is damaged

I have already checked that everything is in place. And there is not something like a crack on it, so i can be sure if its damaged or not

i dont mean damaged digitizer, I mean the ribbon what connects the digitizer to the mother board.. They are very flimsy, I ripped mine in half on my galaxy spica, just by trying to clip it in.
did you remove the void sticker on the back when taking it apart ?

I dont have warranty, not to mention that it's already voided
Also, i haven't pulled the tethers of the digitizer.
Propably, i'll sent it for service, because i want to sell in a month

you should have warranty. It will come with 12 months manufacturer warranty.. But if the void sticker is removed, they wont fix it..
i learned the hard way
now i have a broken sensation that is useless and cant sell it to anyone

They'll fix it. I'll just have to pay it through the nose

If you want a new void sticker there is a guy on eBay that sells them just search for it

Also check your grounding pin connection with the backplate/Battery door.

back cover removal wtf moment

Hi guys,
I decided to remove the back cover of my tablet to
a: reset it (flipping the service switch)
b: look at the VISIBLE parts
c: reseat the back cover so i can get rid of the creaking sound when pressing on the screen
I looked inside the tablet and i found this :/ :: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxO67ahQXmynN05sX1dLNnBFRlE/edit?usp=sharing
this tablet was serviced by asus once cause the digitizer broke down

I assume they had to break it to fix it They even voided your warranty for you - how nice of them

White Residue Under the Back Cover

I bought a used Oneplus One recently and it works and looks great. I suppose my only concern is when I took the back cover off there was some white residue on one side along with a bit on the inside of the cover. I'm not sure if this is just residue from the manufacturing process or something but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else who had taken the back cover off seen something similar to put my mind at ease. I have checked the water damage indicator in the headphone jack and it was white so I don't think it's water damage at least. Here is a picture

Isn't that glue?

This is a white sticker on one of the screws. If the sticker is damaged, then the warranty on the phone is void. Basically, this sticker is used to decide of the phone is meddled or not.

I don't think so, when looking at it directly, it looks more like a powdery texture.

I don't think it's the warranty sticker to be honest considering you can see the white on the bottom right as well. Is it possible it might have been the back cover somehow rubbing against the housing of the phone? I don't think the person I bought it from used a case so perhaps pressure from his hand could have caused something like that. Think it would be alright cleaning it with alcohol?
