Broken Screen

Help ,
Does anyone know where you can get a replacement screen for my XDA 64MB original type from
Had an accident this morning
Can it be user replaced also .
Any help would be most appreciated
Regards
Paul

ebay is always a good bet for replacement screens

I just replaced my screen a couple of weeks ago. I bought just the outer touch screen from PDASmart.com for $75 and it turned out great.
It was somewhat of a chore "cutting" the outer screen off, but it just takes some patience. They gave some great instructions and I thought $75 was a good deal.

Hope this helps.

Spare parts?

Does anyone know a place to get spare parts for the XDA II (not likely) or does someone have a broken XDA II they are selling parts off of?
I somehow managed to crack part of the casing of my I-mate around my power switch. Well tonight it finally broke off and I am devistated. (ok well.. pretty upset at least)
If anyone has a spare... I am looking for a replacement black piece (antenna cover) of the casing. Would pay generously for one.

I'm looking for a spare casing...
Last friday I dropped my MDA2 and the case now has a small dent near the Bluetooth LED and a small scratch on the opposite corner and I want to replace it as soon as possible!
Anybody knows where to get replacements?
Is the case metal or plastic?
Thanks in advance...

I may have XDA 2 Spares!
I am currently battling to get my XDA 2 repaired under warranty by o2 in the UK..
If i lose: I will have an xda 2 worth of parts (minus the mainboard) less than six months old immaculate apart from the board and its connector.
so case is scratch free, screens perfect etc...
Failing that if anyone has an busted xda 2 with a working mainboard please mail me...

parts
Matt,
How did you get on with O2, I'm looking to get all the parts except the main board as I've got one of them.
Cheers

I lost! No repair, no warranty, 6 weeks and no service!
I have come up with another solution for my broken xda connector.
The device still functions but i cant connect to my laptop/docking station, so im going to buy a bluetooth card and spare batt, keep the spare batt on charge using the docking station and use bluetooth to sync with laptop...
spare batt = £15
bluetooth card = £20
my total = 35
O2's = £185 a mear £20 cheaper than a brand new XDAII !!!
AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME £17.50 to send the bloody thing back without having lifted a finger to repair the device! Until i went ballistic in the store in front of a dozen customers, and i do mean ballistic a bit digruntled wont work you have to loose it in front of as many customers as possible to force them to back down and return your property.
I will never buy new from O2 again, and as soon as the contract hits 12 months they are history bollox to them. The warranty is not worth the paper its written on, the shop service is less than i would expect from cowboys r us, save yourselves time and pain buy second hand theres still no warranty but its cheaper by far..
p.s. for those who are bound to ask, No mention of any charges including postage are/were made at the point of handing my phone over or at any time until 17.50 was demanded for its return.

@ Matt Ryan
my XDA 2 connector snapped from the pbc
ill tell you how to fix.....
get hold of an ipaq 38xx or 39xx, SPV 1, or spv2 or xda 1 or xda2 board and desolder the connector off and put a new one on
i got hold of a spv1 for less then £30 and ive stripped the board and sending it to my mate who deals in small eloctronics reapir hes charging me £15 to hot air rework the connector off the spv and put it onto the XDA2 pbc
meaning all repaired and stronger then before
gaz

did you not sign an a-novo repair sheet. It states clearly on the reverse side of this that is your device is beyond economical repair, or if you refuse a quote, you will be charge £17.50.

nope i didnt sign a-novo contract/ job sheet
I took the phone to an o2 shop and signed THIER repair sheet, nothing on reverse nothing refering to charge for returning device if not repaired
Nothing anywhere, nada...

I would like to buy a used XDA II

I cannot afford these outrageous prices! Plus, it's not readily available in the US. Anybody have a used or know where I can find a refurbished unit? I've been trying to do my research and am finding discrepancies all over the place: Pocket PC Phone Edition vs XDA II vs MDA II vs QTEK2020 vs Himalaya, etc. I'd even be interested in a used XDA I for a much lesser price.

check your PM...

I've got an XDA I for sale now that I bought a II. I picked up my XDA II on eBay in the US for $605, near-new. Luckily for me, nobody here seems to know what they are and few people bid on it.
If you're interested in my old one, let me know. The case has the usual paint peeling, but it's perfectly functional and the screen is 100% mint (always had a PPC Techs protector, included). It has always lived in an EB leather case, also included. Got a few spares like an extra headset and probably some other stuff, need to go through my stash.

ive also got an xda ii for sale second hand all works fine but blocked over here in the uk would ship to us if buyer pays shipping cost full boxed as new even got tomtom 3 navigator installed on it but you would need us maps and a gps unit n e body isnterested make me a reansonable offer remember the xda ii phone will not work in the uk i have tried and tried to get it unblocked but found out som ebody i brought if from sold it then reported it lost so they claimed for a new one and the one i had of them the network operator block so i was well ripped off so thats the reason ive putting it up for sale any body intrested in this pm me and make an offer :idea:

Will that speaker work in the CDMA version of the phone? I'm in the same boat as you.

Just contact the online helpdesk.
They could help you further.
I think it's the same one but if not they will order it for you..
Mine wasn't in there catalog also but they still tried to help me out..

French shop repairing all HTCs.
Hi all!
Here's a french shop and repairing service for all HTCs:
www.gsm-clinique.com
+33533475559
10, rue Maubec - 64100 Bayonne (France).
Totally satisfied by the work of this guy: cheap fast, and good work!

My screen's all scratched.. So I just ordered an LCD screen with digitizer (and screwdriver) for $21.99 (excl. shipping) from www.truesupplier.com.
Including shipping to the Netherlands ($13.99), some accessories (screen protectors, 3.5mm adapter) and a replacement battery cover ($11.50), it adds up to $54.32. I don't know, the touchscreen seems a bit too cheap to me, considering even they themselves have Diamond LCD's for sale at about twice the price. I e-mailed them and it should really include both the LCD and the digitizer, preassembled even. If it's really the (same as the) original parts then that's an amazing price.. I guess I'll update once I receive it.

Hate to double-post, but oh well. Received what was supposed to be the "LCD and digitizer with free screwdriver" I talked about in the above post, and as I feared and despite the customer support-lady's claims, it was just an LCD screen. No digitizer (the touch screen module) included, no screwdriver either. I e-mailed them about this yesterday, and they generally respond within 2-3 days.
I highly doubt this will be resolved, so I guess I'll have to order a seperate digitizer and screwdriver for $17 total from DealExtreme, wait 2-3 weeks for delivery, then find some way to do the soldering to connect the digitizer to the LCD (don't have the equipment for soldering, never done it before either).
In any case, me = frustrated.

76 US Dollar for piece of Desire HD Antenna Cover???!!!!

MY HTC Desire HD sim cover crack when I use it at first day. It is too soft and so fragile. I go to HTC Care center (Singapore) and ask for service, they quote me 100 SGD(76 USD). That is 12% of whole phone cost. That is ridiculous!!! That is not all of it. They request me to let them have the phone for 3-5 days just to fix it. It is just a user replaceable cover. What a lousy service.

I'm also waiting for a cheaper chinese one.

Thanks. That is much cheaper1!! But delivery will be a problem.

Unbelieveable...how difficult is it to just put on the cover? maybe they just wanna play around with a new toy (the Desire HD)?

Lol... I don't know...
I wanted to change this liitle piece of plastic because I have my carrier's (Orange) logo on. I'm french, so delivery is not a problem for me. But I think I will try some acid to remove this ugly logo !
Watch on the american website, maybe they have some too !

Well there are two options:
You can glue the cover and put silicon cover the back of the phone and wait for Chinese ultra cheap parts
Or wait for the beginning of the January when it seems to me that a lot of shops will receive official spare parts. For instance here you can preorder it for 19 pounds:

my brother called HTC service and said his sim cover was loose. They noticed it as a incident and within a week he got a new sim cover with the mail for free. I'm living in the Netherlands.

Ya, look like I have to wait. Shipping fee from UK is too expensive. I live in Singapore. Look like HTC Singapore have the worst service. The reason they give is they not making profit from it. WTH.

Thats is a good reason, but I doubt HTC Singapore will do that.

Below is my support reply from htc :
Me: My HTC Desire HD sim card cover broken. It is so fragile, it made of soft plastic. It is my first day using it. How I suppose to get a new cover?
HTC : Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we would suggest you to back up all your data first and bring your phone with the receipt to our care center in Singapore for servicing. Our engineer will help you to check and fix your phone.
Me : I go to singapore care centre and ask for help. They say comestic issues is not cover by htc. The charges for replace a small plastic cover is 100 sin dollar, which is 12% of a new phone cost. That is ridiculous. And worst case more they need to hold my phone for three to five days just to replace a user replaceable part. I feel so frustrated with this kind of service. I like htc product so much but this had failed me.
HTC : We are really sorry to hear that. Hope you can get your phone fix asap.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again.
Me :That is the only replied you can give? That is not helpful at all!!!
It is too expensive for a small plastic cover!! And this had been know issues for many users. And other country users get the free replacement. How come Singapore users cannot get free replacement for that?
http://www.htcforums.com/desire-hd/6672-htc-desire-hd-*-replacement-sim-card-cover-*.html
HTC : Please understand that we are not trying to make profits by raising the price of the parts. All we will earn is the labor charge to pay the engineer. And due to the cause of the damage is not covered by our company's warranty statement (actually any mobile phone company will consider this situation as out of warranty case, I should say), it will be really difficult for us to provide any discount to you without a proper reason. We really hope that we can help to repair your phone and make it to be of service to you again, but still we have to take our budget into consideration.
We are quite sorry for any inconvenience it may cause and thank you for your consideration!
Me : I cannot understand. You mean labor charge for put on the cover??? You gonna be kidding??
HTC UK website is selling it at 32 Singapore Dollar and willing to ship to customer.
It is just a cover that anyone, even child know how to put back!

Using what exchange rate?
Today's is £70 = $110.62

So far nothing? I broke my cover on the first day too =/

30 January on HTC's Website...

check on expansys.com.au -> $27-27 AUD

Probably we should lodge a complaint to HTC HQ..

I got a replacement phone this from my provider as my screen developed a fault.
Before the courier arrived I took the battery and sim cover off the old one as I knew they wouldn't notice. New phone arrived. Now I have a spare sim and battery cover.
If anyone is desperate pm me and we can sort something out.
