Hello Everyone.
I have a small Question.
My phone, now having used it for about 2.5yrs, is now in a comparatively bad condition. There are quite a few blemishes on the finishing of the phone.
My main concern is that the POWER BUTTON AND THE VOLUME ROCKER BUTTONS HAVE GONE IN QUITE A BIT due to frequent ROM-flashing ! :silly:
I need to get the entire body or just the buttons replaced. Will samsung service center be helpful in this scenario?
How much will they charge me (in Rs.) for the Body replacement or the buttons replacement? Any idea?
Thanks in Advance. :good:
And sorry if the thread is made in the wrong forum section (simply didn't know where to put it)

hey guys just the other day i fell asleep on the couch and i had my touch pro on the table. i was out for a few hours but when i woke up i picked up my touch pro and the screen was completely dead. DEAD!
i think my son had been throwing it around while i was asleep.
i live in melbourne is there any HTC repairs there?
i had warranty but it expired
or can i get parts and change it myself?
Please Reply
thanks in advance.

Hi - any more info? The screen is dead....? It "looks" dead? the "touch" doesnt work? both? unable to tell? Come on, you seem to understand the concept of the site, but you havent given any info!!!
I'm 90% sure there is a repair center close(ish) by, but just google for it (you're out of warrenty, so who cares if its HTC or Joe Blogs!). It **COULD* be the screen, or the digitiser (or both) if its just the display/touch control thats at fault - the it is a simple job to replace (assuming you have some techincal skills)
lol. true. the screen works and everything but when u touch it, it dosent work. so it dosent respond to your taps. i hope for my sake its not the digitiser...
thanks in advance
That sounds exactly like the digitiser. From other peoples experience (not done it myself) its much easier to buy a screen & digitiser already glued and replace as a single unit (assuming you're going to do it yourself).
thanks for the info bro. but where can i get my hands on a screen and digitiser?
Ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LCD-Display-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories?hash=item27ae99af05
Seems to be a little more in Aus than on the UK site, so have a good search to check you're not being ripped off. The digitisers themselves arent too much.
Sooo, my Touch Pro has acquired many scratches along the way, and the buttons are a bit wonky. The home button has a sort of... Fold towards the upper left edge of it, the spacebar and backspace button requires more firm press for it to respond and I'm thinking of giving it a new lease of life.
As for the scratches, I was wondering would Brasso work? What would you guys reccomend? Same goes for the other teency problemos that's starting to get me to hate my TP day by day xD
Pick up an OEM case/keyboard (digitizer if screen scratched) off eBay, have some genuine cases off recycled devices at graded conditions.
Any other option is pointless.
Interesting, I've been attempting to search for guides on xda-developoers regarding how to change them pieces of hardware but I can't find any.
Do you know of a guide somewhere or would the process require more of an intuitive approach? They keyboard's top priority at the moment sooo, the rest can wait xD
How bout the screen itself? There's no deep scratches, just minor ones from daily wear and tear accumulated over the months, how would I get rid of em? Or AT LEAST make em almost unnoticable? =D
As for the buttons on the main screen (the ones with the call and hang up buttons), is there any way to replace them or am I stuck with em forever?
EDIT: I popped through the archives and found a couple of links, now to actually know how to replace them :s What I'm gonna be replacing would be they keyboard as a priority, but at the same time, I'd like to know how to replace the digitizer or the LCD itself. I heard the latter would be a more complicated process and due to a teenager's allowance, I doubt I can afford to lose this phone or break the parts that I plan on buying xD
Service manual can be found in wiki & via google search.
Screen replacement tips can be found in some threads & youtube may have some guides too.
It is not too hard if you read up well on dismantling & take a lot of care.
You could always strip it down before commiting to purchasing parts and then you can judge your chances of successful reassembly before commiting $
Another option could be buying a device with hardware fault if housing & screen good !
Hi there, long time lurker but first time posting.
I've just got the Sensation based on the feedback a lot of users here have given it, and so far it's a fantastic handset except for one thing: the volume rocker is extremely flimsy!
I took the battery door off yesterday and when I went to put it back on the volume rocker had slipped out from its opening and snapped as I was replacing the phone.
Is there anywhere I can get a new volume rocker? I've already called HTC UK and they've said the only way to replace is to send the handset in to get repaired. I was hoping I might be able to buy an OEM battery door from eBay but none of them seem to explicitly state that the volume rocker does come with the case, and i'd rather not spend £30~ for a tiny piece of plastic
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated
Cheers, Dave

Get back onto Htc and they should send you a replacement back. Ive had it do it on me and ive seen a few others on here with it.
Picked up this phone from CL. The person was claiming that part of the screen is not responding to touch.
I have seen it when I picked it up, but I thought that I will deal with it when I get home.
I was keep playing with the phone almost everything it's working on it except the volume buttons and that horizontal line where the #456 is on the dial pad.
I have removed the battery and noticed that the white sticker it was pink, water damage.
Now I don't know what could be the damage here? There is a shadow across the screen also, but it's not a crack.
I have seen this before on a digital camera, it was the aluminum sheet metal under the LCD, had a smudge across on that aluminum finish too.
Couldn't remove it though. Replaced the screen on the camera and it was as new.
Not sure what could be the problem with the phone?
Should I replace the digitizer, since the LCD shows everything correctly? It could be something shorted internally? I have the phone apart, but I don't see anything wrong. Cleaned all the contact with electronic cleaner, no change.
Any help would be appreciated.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

I think I would replace the LCD and digitizer as a unit. The slightly higher cost would be easier to accept than having to do it more than once, which would probably end up costing more. Either way is a gamble, though, because that might not be the issue.
Volume buttons are notorious on this phone. I have not known or read about someone fixing them. You can get around the problem for the most part by using software to control the volume, using roms that will restart to recovery or boot loader, and the occasional use of ADB commands, but some bootloop situations require the hardware to work.
Good luck with your project and let us know how it works out.
Not just a pretty Pickle.
I'm thinking of buying the whole LCD as a unit, but that is why I'm asking that maybe somebody could tell me if it's the LCD or other hardware.
The volume button it's together with the upper camera board and I guess it has to be replaced together.
Hi. I have a Sony Z3. And the backlight had gone. I have had experience and removed the backlight resistor from the main board and just bridged the two connections. This solved the issue. I have also done it with the z,z1 and z2.
But I was wondaring as I dont know much about circuit boards. Will just bridging the connection cause any damage? Will it last long?
The phone is already out of warrenty.
I have soldered a Sony z and it has lasted a very long time. But can I expect the z3 to be the same?
Thanks for any help and wisdom!!
Hi
Can you take picture i have 6603 and same problem please help me
You have a two year manufacturer's warranty with Sony, and you don't need a proof of purchase.
Return it - unless you've voided it yourself.
dear
The warranty is void
I replaced lcd and frame when i did the brightness no work more
I need resistor location
Hi I've don't it a few times and it always worked. I don't have one to take a picture. But it's near the bottom left of the board . The component is black and has a little V in white on it. If the backlight is gone this component tends to have a burnt hole right in the middle.
I always need a microscope but if you have mega good eye sight you should find it. Hope this helps!
Solution in the attachment. Other fuse with letter "V" in lower left corner protects vibrator.

Do you happen to know how to fix a Xperia Z3 Compact with a similar issue?
I replaced the screen on my Xperia Z3 Compact and now when I turn it on nothing shows up no image and no backlight. But I can hear that the phone is working. Touchscreen makes clicking noise, and vibrator motor makes noise when clicking home button.
How can I make a jumper?
I have this prob too after replacing screen. First, the phone would work only if the the two final screws holding the assembly weren't screwed in. Now it doesn't work at all.
sent here from a member from another thread~
Sorry - but I was sent to this thread from a member in a reply to a thread I posted last week - they said I might have a better chance at finding answers here.
Here's my question (copy/pasted):
Hello, please forgive me if this is not the appropriate place or generally not the correct type of question to ask, I am new here & was directed to this site from my former trainer as a means of educating myself on the problems I am facing..
Let me first say that I am new to micro soldering, and have only been a certified micro solderer for a few weeks now.
I work for a privately owned company of mobile technicians and I am the sole solderer on staff. My company paid for my training and I would say I have a fairly decent grasp on general soldering repairs.
That being said, I am facing some big issues with backlight repairs. I have been successful in replacing components that have been obviously damaged or missing, but when all responsible components are seemingly in place & in working order - as far as I can see under the microscope - I cannot figure out how to diagnose which of these components has failed to communicate with it's sisters.
I have read a great deal online about jumping components, but I am really very much as a loss as to how I am supposed to be able to figure out which one(s) of these to jump or how to tell if they are in need of replacement - when no physical damage is present.
Any and all help in this area is welcome - I would really love it if I could get a better handle on these types of repairs.
If this topic already exists somewhere, or there is another place I should be looking - point me in that direction & I will follow.
Thanks~

Would you happen to know the location of the xperia Z1S backlight fuse also?
Hi there,
I have done lots of cellphone repairs and I know my things about smd soldering.
To answer your question : Will just bridging the connection cause any damage?
The answer is yes and no. By bridging the resistor you won't damage the Phone but the only thing you are doing is taking a safety measure out of the circuit. Next time there is a problem in that bridged circuit there will be no fuse more to blow out and the damage will be done to an other component in that circuit, most likely the power management IC, and those are way harder and have a much more higher fail rate in replacement.
So if you can find a replacement resistor on Ebay i suggest you buy it and replace the broken one. When replacements are not sold, we allways try to take them of another damaged motherboard we have laying around.
If those 2 options are not possible, bridging will be the only solution.
Grtz...
