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 ......
hi, i need a little help. i just open up my htd diamond sprint. to put back the magnet that the stylus get hooked on. but the problem is i got everything done but when replace the cover on the back before the screws. there is a wire that runs right along the side next to the vibration ball. does it go right next to it or in the edge. well i am afraid it might rub against it and burn up the wire. any suggestion? got pics. forgot to take a pic of mine.
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

hey guys about a week ago all the sudden the speakers seem to have went on my device. I recently changed roms and i still cant hear anything. I first noticed when I slept in this week because the alarm was going off but no audio LOL
anyone have any tips or experience with this issue? I have a feeling its hardware but if any sort of firmware upgrade or anything will fix it id love to know!
if it is hardware related...anyone have a guide on how to crack this beast open and check the audio wiring out?
There is a Service Manual for this phone floating around.
Cracking open the case is easy. I just did so to fix the antenna contacts. Unfortunately I broke my speaker cables when reassembling it, so i will need to do this again when my replacement speaker comes in.
Take off the back battery cover and you will see four screws. Using a very small philips screwdriver, remove the four screws, then with a flat plastic probe (or your nails if they are long enough) separate the back case cover from the keyboard, starting from one side, around the top , then the other side. Leave the bottom for last as that has the USB connector holding it together. The speaker is attached to the back case cover near the top, and has a very short cable connecting it to the circuit board. Careful not to pull the back case off too hard or you can snap these thin cables.
Hi,
Hope somebody can help me. I purchased a second hand oneplus one of which the screen was broken. I purchased a replacement screen and replaced it without any issues. After powering it back up and starting to use it I noticed there was an horizontal band around the middle of the screen not picking up touches. I opened it again and tested the same without the cover (camera lens and flash) and it worked fine. When putting everything back and closing it, the problem reappears. I noticed from looking at the tear downs pictures I was missing a small plastic piece sitting to the right of the connector and above the ear piece. No idea what it's is purpose but it is missing. I've read that some users have grounding issues and maybe this missing piece is important to ensure the connector and flex don't touch other parts of the body.
Anybody knows what the function of this plastic piece is and where I can purchase one. All resellers I found don't sell this piece. Agreed it doesn't look like it could get faulty but in my case I or the previous owner lost it.
Thanks.
Just put some tape where the piece should be and you should be fine.
I have the exact same issue, but my plastic piece isn't missing. Did you manage to solve it?
