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...

Hi there,
Does anyone happen to know where I can get spares for the phone above.
I had an unfortunate incident a while back whereby an ebay buyer tried to repair this item and severed the ribbon cable between the side up and down buttons and the camera board (front facing one) and as such, need to get hold of this part.
If anyone knows where they can point me in terms of obtaining this(or any other spares for this model) I'd be very grateful. Failing that, does anyone happen to have a spare touch diamond/compact iv that is broke and not being used or they plan to dispose of?
Longshot I know - but if you don't ask - you don't get lol
Hello everyone
Can someone suggest where can I order this broken part?
I wish you luck. Tried to find a replacement battery cover to no avail. All I have seen online is digitizers. I emailed and phoned HTC and they do not sell any parts anymore and referred me to the "usual suspect" online sites.
so, replacement of this part would have cost me 110€ and I lost this phone.
Now I bought a new 7 Pro for a 350€
Hi guys, my son dropped his sensation XE and cracked the screen.
The phone still works, inside LCD isn't damaged and touchscreen still works perfectly.
But it's got this huge crack running diagonally across the whole phone. Sooner or later its going to stop working. Strangely the phone casing doesnt show any other damage.
I can buy individual digitizer screens from ebay for £25, also some sell the complete digitizer+LCD in one piece ready to attach to phone for approx. £50.
Apparently the whole LCD+digitizer have to be replaced together, so I would have to buy the complete LCD+digitizer for £50. I phoned a repair shop in London but they charge £90 with postage including the new LCD + digitizer.
I can find lots of help changing a normal senasation screen on the net and youtube but nothing showing the senastion XE taken apart.
Anybody done this before and have any tips on how to do it?
my old sensation had a broken digitizer, I got a replacement off ebay and took it to the local phone repair shop, it cost me £20 for the part and £20 for fitting.
You could do it yourself if you feel confident...
The digitizer and LCD do not have to be replaced together...
Once you remove the void sticker from the back your warranty will be gone...
*cough* you can buy the void stickers of ebay and stick it back on *cough*

Ok, that's your normal sensation. The senastion XE is different. I asked at 3 repair shops and they all said the senastion XE has to have the LCD+digitizer replaced together.
They said the normal sensation doesnt need the LCD swaped.
HENCE my question, how to fix the XE screen?
the sensation and sensation XE are exactly the same phone, except the sensation XE has beats audio software.
There is no physical hardware difference at all
HTC Underclocked The CPU and removed beats audio so they could bring out the XE Version which was a 'NEW' Phone, This way they can sell more and maximise profits.
Then why have three different repair shops told me otherwise? They actually told me if it was a normal senation they would exchange the digitizer quickly and cheaply.
But the XE has to have both LCD+digitizer replaced together, even though the LCD is still ok!
Could the LCD+digitizer swap be due to the digitizer compatibility and lag issue you posted above?

Its possible, But i suspect that the phone repair man is taking you for a ride, Trying to bull**** you with jargon making it out like he knows best because 'he has done this hundreds of times'
Then he can charge you for 2 parts + labour when in fact the phone only needed 1 part.
If where you live is anything like where i live, These bastards will screw you over for whatever they can get away with.
EDIT: The lag issue can be fixed by updating software / kernel according to that thread.

+1 - Exactly the same physical hardware
If it is exactly the same hardware then there are enough sensation tear down videos floating around on youtube.
I'm pretty good repairing electrical stuff, should I trust myself and buy a senastion XE digitizer from ebay for £25 and try the swap myself...or better send it to a repair shop for the complete LCD+digitizer swap?

I did just that for my Desire after I dropped it onto a concrete step.
The the thing was so NEW I couldn't even pick up a case or screen protector for it
Worked fine by the way , so give it a go.
Hi guys, I successfully changed the broken digitizer with a new one
I tested it and it works!
BUT
Before I could screw the phone together, while I was fumbling around with it the digitizer cable came out of it's tiny socket and the tiny white plastic clamp on the socket sprung out and now I can't fix the clamp back into the socket!
I tried putting the cable into the socket without the white clamp but after a reboot the digitizer wouldn't work! Screen came on but touchscreen was not working, obviously the cable isn't sitting correctly in the tiny socket without the clamp.
Here is a picture of the socket without the clamp.
Can anybody suggest how I can securely fix the cable into the socket with a clean contact?
I searched google but because I don't know the proper names of the socket and tiny clamp, I didnt find anything.
I'm sure this is a regular problem as the socket and clamp are so flimsy and they're used in the millions, there must be solutions to find on the net...
hello, i recently cracked my z3's screen digitizer, and i intend to replace the whole screen assembly, since replacing the digitizer only sounds like an extremely hard task.
i have gone through aliexpress, amazon/ebay us.uk sites, but i can't find a trustworthy OEM seller, they're all either aftermarket refurbished or completely defective fake .
so can anyone please tell me from where can i order online to get an OEM parts for my phone ? getting local repair is out of the question, they want to charge me 300$ and sony authorized re seller wants 350$....
please, any suggestion would be helpful .
I bought the screen digitizer from etrade supply. I will have someone attempt to replace 4-5 days from now. I'll let you know how it goes.
thank you !!!
