Hi,
I wonder if someone can offer any suggestions... The end of my stylus has broken off and left the metal part right inside the phone. I've tried with jewellers screwdrivers and tweezers to get it out, to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Have a look at the Polaris Wiki and get the service manual to disassemble the case.
Happened to me yesterday .Get a needle,press point of needle againt stylus.then push it out.took me 2seconds.
If the needle trick doesn;t work I somehow used a needle to prize the chamber open via the side and then freed the stylus by sliding it down. It hasn't damaged my polaris in any way. Sorry can;t be more specific but it wasa while ago!
Another way would be to take a bit of wire or a cocktail stick, apply a small drop of super glue to the end and press it onto the broken end of the stylus (being careful not to touch the sides of the polaris)
Then wait a few seconds for it to dry and pull it out!
Dear Nordberg !
try to put some glow on the top of the rest of ur stylus and put it back in ur PPC, let it a few minutes then try to pull it slowly and u will have a one piece stylus ......
The magnet holding the stylus seems to have either come off its usual spot or is turned in another direction. But the stylus wasn't holding anymore. Today, I got to work and noticed I had lost the stylus. Is there any known fix for this? I never dropped the phone, it just wouldn't work one day.
Thanks for any help.
Did you open the Stylus? You can srew it (upper black part) up, where you can see the magnet that is hold by a plastic part: it cant move .... did someone fool you?

Well, my stylus is lost now so it's too late. No, nobody was trying to trick me. Are you saying that the only magnet is in the tip of the stylus? The end that you write with? Because I believe I have another one.
with mine you cant write like a pencil only on the touch screen without ink ;-), its a touch pro without branding original from HTC. the magnet in it is placed in the inner stylus ca. 3 cm upwards from the "tip" ..., you can say just in the middle ..

Well, mystylus was going into it's sleeve and not staying in, it was just sliding out. So, I don't know where the magnet was at all.
For me it seems that the contra part in the inner of your device (ferrum or magnetic) has moved or is broken so the magnetic stylus "found nothing to be magnetic with" hope you understand me, my english is worst .... You know that you need a little Power to remove the stylus from his hole. if you could test it with the other stylus that you still own (but must be for the TP!!), wether the stylus is hold or not.... and have a look in the inner of the stylus wether the magnet is there...
good night.... perhaps till tomorrow.... If you need a plan from the inner parts of the TP: i have one

P.S. If you shake your device: Do you hear anything ??
Well, I tried but my replacement stylus didn't work. There is definitely a magnet missing inside the phone. At first it was tight, then it seemed blocked and now it just glides in and out.
So, can anyone give me any hints about what I can do to fix my stylus not sticking in its sleeve? I really need this fixed. Is it safe to open up a Fuze?
This happened to me today...
i have removed the battery, chip, microsd and then the back cover... a bit tricky but it was easy (folowing the dis/assembly guide), for mine the lower part didnt want to go out, so i pull out the speaker connector and then push it out.
and the other magnet was there... and it have a place in the back cover that i think it may be seen if you take the battery out... it have like a dent
now my problem is with the polarity... i dont know how to glue it ... it have 2 positions vertical or horizontal
the vertical position will attract the stylus but it seems not to enter completely
the horizontal will push it, but i dont know if it will hold it as is very hard to test it without adding glue and i will use exposy...
EDIT1: found where it go... its in the vertical position but it need to be tested (because the polarity is different dont know why) if you are going to glue it
EDIT2: i used a plastic card (old medic card, visa, ect) to pry out the back cover from the keyboard
Thanks
Many,many thanks to you.
Same situation so easy but the lose magnet not easy to find except by your tips. Ha, ha I love this forum, So many thanks to the people here who contribute helping each other

A juice box got spilled on my sony google tv remote control. Now all the buttons stick. Id like to take it apart and clean it up without breaking it. I bought the torx driver for the screws in the back, got them out, and cant figure out how to get it open. Ive googled like crazy and found a lot about the control app, but nothing about repairing the real remote.
Does anyone know how to get it apart? Or can link me in the right direction?
Thanks
jordan
Also Looking to repair my remote
Did you have any luck in getting the remote apart? What size torex did you use. I can't seem to find anybody who has taken one of these apart. My grandson dropped it on the tile and now something, inside, is rattling around. How do you like children??? Medium Rare?? :0
Very good question. I have waiting for this answer.

Hey Jordan I figures out how to undo the remote when u take it apart from the back which would require you to take out the screws below the batteries after you pry it open there are additional visible screws the both on the yellow board and green board then the key is to also unclip the wire on the top left the key is in the middle top there where the infrared sensor is its like a black rectangle looking clip with a smaller looking green mother board you have to hold the clip on the top of it both on the top left and right and pry the smaller green mother board out and below that is the hidden screw keeping you from being able to fully take apart the remote let me know I you have any questions just email me! Hope I helped!
A friend accidentlly spilled coffee on my NSM-MR1. Does anyone know if there is a video on how to take it apart and clean it? What do you use to clean it?
I went to use my NSZ-GT1 today and the top of the remote was split apart where the IR panel was pushed in. After accusing everybody in proximity of stepping on it I started trying to tear it apart.
I got the 2 screws inside out with a T4 torx and then gently pried the two halves apart. I started at the top because mine was splitting there(where the IR panel is.) I managed to separate them by pushing the top part in and up all around the top side. Once I got past the rounded corners into the sides it popped right apart(be careful of the battery connectors.)
I didn't tear it down far enough to get at the buttons, but that didn't look like it would've been too difficult.
Hi xda, so I got tired of having dust under my screen and decided to try to fix this myself, I used many disassembly videos and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479734&highlight=dust as guides, initially I didnt open my phone completely, and used a hair dryer to heat and loose the glue, I guess that wasnt enough, then I finally separated the glass from the screen and procedeed the cleaning, everything good.
Then when I pushed the glass and realized there was a little space between the glass/lcd and the plastic frame (look at pic), tried to put the back cover in again and noticed the right side of the phone, the plastic one was kinda lifted and barely fitted my back cover again, reopened and realized this (look at pic) it seems that the main frame and plastic frame (pic again) got a bit separated, when I was trying to lift the glass i heard some cracks there, I tried pushing it gently but I dont want to damage the lcd, next thing im gonna do is disassemble it completely and hit gently the lifted side of the frame with a hammer so it fits flush again, before doing this, Do you have any sugestion or advice? Has this happened to you?
Also since I dont have a proper heat gun and I'll be using a hair dryer I would thank you if you know and can tell me what areas of the lcd are glued to the main frame, pic attached, if you know you could use paint to point them.
Im a bit worried about the tension the phone is getting with the cover on, I hope only the main frame is getting it... as the phone is pushed to its side (0.5-1mm maybe) I cant plug my headphones and i get slightly worse overall signal. Thank you in advance for any help.

I wanted to try it myself, but didn't have the guts. Sorry to hear your problem.
The guide said "5. Clean off all the crappy double sided tape from the factory."
It seems to me that you have put the same double tape. I suggest you remove the LCD again, clean the old tape and apply a new one.
Good Luck!
Edit: Does your touchscreen work well?

Dont be afraid of trying, i was also scared at first but bah, 1. There's no official htc support in my country 2. I dont trust repair houses. 3 I wont wait 2-4 weeks for something relatively easy. So why dont try by yourself?
"Clean off all the crappy double sided tape from the factory" I dont have double sided tape at hand right now, getting it in 2 days, however thats not the problem, the glass sits flush and tight even with the old tape, the problem is that as i said my phone somehow got wider and the back cover is hard to put. Thanks, im gonna need good luck.
Oh and yes my touchscreen works perfectly.

There's no HTC support in my county either. Maybe it got wider because of the heat. Even though the glass sits tight I suggest you change the old tape, cause that's what let dust in the first place. The guide said also smth about silicon, did you apply it?
Was it difficult to remove the LCD with the hairdryer? I don't have a heatgun.
LOL, seems I'm the one doing the questions now.

No it didnt got wider because of the heat, when i was trying to open it i forced the bezel/metal main frame (4th pic) so it unclipped. Getting the double tape tomorrow. No way im gonna put silicon, ill put just 4 tiny squares of doublesided tape, i would rather clean it monthly than that, also i keep it always clean, it just had the dust before (second hand).
Yes, it was very difficult to remove the LCD, dont even try this without a heatgun, i was lucky to not mess something else duh i even crushed the LCD cable a bit, but it works normally. Only solution now is to get a new main frame.

Thanks for the advice. I hope you manage to fix your phone
OK, not entirely true, you still need a new screen, but this should be a step by step idiot proof how to !!
1) Cry and mourn a little bit over your broken precious, and curse that damn moment where you were reckless ! :angel:
2) Get a new screen+touchscreen assembly (found one for 46$ free shipping on aliexpress). :good:
3) Wait for delivery (mine took around 3 weeks, from china to france).
To open your phone, you'll need : 1 hex screwdriver (H1.0) for one screw
1 of the phillips kind, (size PH*00)
2 finger nails, or any appropriate tool to pry open a phone if none available :silly:
That's it !
4) Look carefully on your new screen where the ribbon is located. This will prevent possible damage when taking apart your phone.
5) Things will get serious now !
6) Remove the 2 plastic covers from top and bottom, by leveraging from the sides. They should pop out quite easily.
7) Remove ALL the 7 screws, including the dirty one hidding beneath the white warranty tape (that bastard made me loose my time, my tamper, and almost my phone !). (By the way... I forgot to say... your warranty is now void... and I'm NOT responsible for whatever might happen, but you already knew that right ?)
8) pry open the phone, starting from the left side, bottom, this is where it gave up first for me.
9) Be carefull with the damn ribbon, it's located on the bottom right ! to fully separate the screen assembly, there is a metallic plate securing the ribbon, which is attached with a 8th screw that is of a metallic color, contrary to the others, which are black.
10) Swap the screen assembly for the new one, you can already check the new screen by turning the phone on. to do so, you need to place at least the right side of the screen in the phone, for the contact pins of the side buttons to touch the springs of the motherboard.
11) If everything works, cry again, but from happiness !!:fingers-crossed:
12) Don't forget to put back the metallic plate and it's securing screw !
13) Put back everything together, and be proud and happy with your good as new phone ! :highfive:
crack across my screen, didn't notice it at first because of the tempered glass i have on it which seems only protects itself ha.
will give this a go.
gorilla glass is clearly a joke.
thanks.

Dear sir, you will be "Mediapad X2 man of the year" if you could make a video on youtube of "how to dissassemble a Mediapad X2"
Great to change a tired battery, and so on...
Kindly yours from an old man
Thx for your excellent tutorial. Could you provide us details about the display you ordered? Which one and how is the quality? I once replaced the screen of my LG G2 and it was cheap plastic and from very bad optical quality. Does someone know, where i can get an original Huawei display? I am from Austria (its the small country in europe, not that with kangaroos )
I found a video for the x1.
May be similar with the x2

Build in a new Display as well, after several Cracks into it. 50 Bucks well invested and worked like a charm. THX for the advice and Link to Video. Greetz Ray

@kwenteen Thank you very much, Mr. nice guy!
Just wanted to share my experience
I broke my screen in a fall (result, a 2cm black, dead vertical stripe) and went looking for a replacement. Well, there is a trap.
I found the only two videos around depicting the disassembly : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeQqJzGmjgk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw . They are both for the x1, but the process is exactly the same for the x2. It seemed easy enough, so I went ahead.
The problem comes just after : in both videos, you basically open the phone in two, change the screen side including its plastic frame, and that's it. And on the replacement screen I got... There was no frame.
Scratching a bit further, you can find 2 types of screen on aliexpress or or eBay :
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-..._1&btsid=39217636-d23b-40e9-80a5-2d40f85d4b5d
Or
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...2439027932.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.58.J1RiVO
(relevant pictures at the bottom of that page)
The first one comes without the plastic frame, the back is just a mirror with a little black surface on top and bottom, no plastic at all. The second comes with the plastic frame attached, complete with power and volume buttons, and fixations to the other half of the phone.
I found no documentation at all on the Internet on how to remove the screen from the frame, but it's at once very simple and a bit hard : the frame is glued to the screen by a two sides adhesive, it came off using a combination of fingernails, cardboard, patience and terror of breaking it. Insert fingernails between the glass and the gleaming plastic you see around the screen when you look a the front of your phone, and pull. Fear ensues. Begin in the middle of the sides, insert cardboard, and move along the side.
You then have to glue the new screen back on the frame. It's pretty easy on the large surfaces on the top and bottom, but quite tricky on the sides, which are less than 1 mm wide. Non-permanent adhesive is recommended, and some screens come with tools and 2 sided pre-cut adhesive. And also be _very_ careful when inserting the metallic speaker plate on top, I broke the glass surface of the screen when doing so. Yippee. Luckily it still worked.
The new screen was fully functional, except for two problems : double tap to wake doesn't work anymore (it worked flawlessly on the old screen), and the screen strangely lacks sensitivity when the phone wakes from a deep sleep. A reboot fixes the second problem. Very annoying, I wonder if the two issues are linked.
To sort all this out I ordered a second screen with frame, I'll live with this one until it arrives.
That's where I am currently, I hope it might help someone out there, as I have not seen those informations around on the Internet.
Good luck to you all!

Well that's good to know, new possibilities can't hurt, specially when it's cheaper !
But it can be quite confusing !
I even noticed that they now sell digitizers only, for 13 €, which is even cheaper !
I might give it a try to fix my old panel, and make a tuto out of it, if by any chance I was to succeed ! (which will not happen !)
