You need a T6 bit. Try www.ebay.com. You should be able to pick one up for a couple of dollars. Look at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3074142266&category=3311
Watch out for the $6 postage though!!! You should be able to find a similar one on there for a bit cheaper.

torx-6
You just checked Homedepot only? 8) I did check Home Depot, Lowe, Radio Shack, Best Buy, CC, no luck! Finally, Sears Hardware has it. But right there I found that Flat Head 1/16 did the same thing with Torx 6 :twisted:

Try Ebay (jasjar flex cable) you can found it at about 100USD + Shippment
Otherwise you can try to search a China web site but often they can't accept orderd less than 500USD ...
Another option... is to Try to gsmforum . There are some indian people that can sell you this object...BUT without website... and any kind of warranty .

Soldering??
I have a question for you all.
As my uni currently stands it has a pice of folded paper covering the coax conections under the battery to hold them down.
Now as this is all running sweet with only the odd crash in the past month or so.
Do I pull it all aprt and solder the connections in place? Or do I just leave the paper and keep things as they are.
I am off work all next week so I was looking to solder then.
Gingerchristopher
I'd keep the folded paper as long as it works.
My 2 weeks old Kaiser slipped from my hands and the LCD broke !! I am looking for a good repair shop in Belgium or any links from which I can procure a new LCD screen real fast! Any pointers would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if the LCD screen is covered under the HTC warranty ??
whipout ur htc carepack, call the number nearest you. They probably would fix it for you for a small charge. Keep in mind, repair shops aren't htc specialists.... So my suggestion is that you contact htc and see what they can do for you.
i feel for you :{
my girlfriend just got her LCD cracked from a roller coaster (stupid safety bars). probably going to take a few weeks for us to get a replacement screen since they don't even sell the kaiser here.
she keeps subconsciously trying to touch the screen on her interm dumb-phone... and sighs.
do it yourself! buy a replacement screen on ebay, and look for replacement instructions on this forum
how easy does the screen crack if you drop it? just for arguments sake shouldn't the phones be able to sustain a reasonable drop? After all you are constantly using it in your hands so it is likely you would drop it at least once.
Put this under you favorites

My Tilt has only 2 buttons on the right, the power and camera buttons. http://cnn.cn/shop/images/IMG_5052.JPG shows there are 3 buttons. What's the 3rd button?
I found that on expansys website while i was checking for a good screen protector... Have a look here :
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~HTC_TyTN_II-972~area~repairs.htm
I think 169 $ is pretty good for a whole LCD replacement?
Hope it helps.

Well, I've taken up a hobby of repairing all makes/models of phone that I can get parts for, so I'd be exceptionally grateful if you could provide some info as to WHERE and HOW you get them so cheaply....
TIA!
there are a few shopping mall in china that sell only spare part for pc, mobile phones and all micro electronics part.
and because most of the oem and third party parts are all made in china, its always cheaper to buy from there, I travel to china a lot, and in search for some parts, I did come across some tytn II parts.
but then you need to live in china or hong kong just like me, so you can go back and forward.
I can also let you know that only micro electronics parts and mobile spare parts are cheaper in china, PC stuff are cheaper in hong kong, as well as back up service.
you need to go to wha qheung ( my own english translation) street along the china railway system, most of them do bulk buy and send overseas, but its best to be there in person, as you cannot trust them sometime.
next time i'll get the address when I go over again, but i'll don't think you will travel there.

I bought a windsheild mount PDA holder from ebay a while back and it worked okay but it was cheaply made and it wound up breaking. The phone fell right out of it one day and hit the shifter. I am lucky the screen didnt break.
Anyway, I am looking for a new one and I would like one that can rotate so I can use it in landscape orientation as well, or even with the keyboard expanded. Does such a beast exist?
I would like to see what recomendations you guys have on this. I have searched online at cell accessory shops and there's alot to choose from but many look like the cheaply made one I am trying to replace.
I bought mine from one of those "we sell everything for your phone!" stalls in a market.
Has adjustable width (spring-loaded with cushioned side bits for grip), the arm can bend anywhere you like, and the windscreen mount is a suction cup with a kinda plastic 'lock' (like on a tomtom) to hold it securely.
Hasn't budged since I bought it several months ago for another handset.
Try a market stall, that's my advice. Paid about a tenner (gbp).
In fact... just found a link to the exact same thing. fiver. bargain
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12635.htm?referer=GS-GEN_WINHOL-P-12635-B-390542-01
Cool, found a few of them for sale from merchants in the States. Thanks for the info!
Got mine at Best Buys.
I've have this one, from Expansys. It's a bit more expensive than the one mentioned, but depending on the durability, this one could last through several different phones.

I've had no problems with it so far!

Bracketron
I got my holder, a bracketron universal holder from best buy for around $30.00
it has an adjustable grip, and can accomodate most devices. It also swivels so that I can use my tilt in either landscape or portrait.
Bracketron here also...
I didn't get the windshield mount though. The one i purchased locks on to the air vent, but bracketron makes the same mount with a flexible-arm windshield mount (suction cup), or you can buy the arm part seperately.
Very pleased with it so far: foam-rubber grip where it contacts the phone, rotates, locks tightly by simply squeezing and releases with the push of a button.
Bought it at Best Buy, $19.95 US.

check out brodit. They have ones that allow the screen to slide out and tilt, and have a cable to charge the device.
Their US reseller is proclipusa.com. to find a retailer in another country head over to brodit.com

I didn't want to spend too much money on a windshield mount. I just purchased a mount with a built in power supply from ebay for under $20. I'll report how it holds up when I get it.

Also Vaja makes some cases that might work. They can be expensive, and shipping really increases expense. However, they are well made:

That's the OEM style I was looking for. Thx! Just have to find it in stock now.
if u go to a local sprint store.. u can get the actual HTC embroided Touch Pro case for $14.99
Nice options posted so far, but I'm holding out for a spring clip holster from www.seidioonline.com. Had one of those for my Tilt and it's the best thing ever. Very quick to retrieve device off your belt and you don't have to unfold a case to look at/start using the device.
I like that brando leather case and clear plastic case but I wonder about the clips on the plastic case breaking.

I just hate to have to open a pouch to pull the phone out/open it after I take it off my belt. Like to be able to take off belt, open, text, replace on belt within 15 seconds or so.
Body Glove Case:
http://www.bodyglove.com/products_detail.php?product_id=25864
Don't know if anyone uses Ebay or not, but I've found a pretty good case on there, and I've yet to find it somewhere else. Free ship, plus free ship on a return [if nec.], so it seems okay to me. Not expensive neither.

Original pouch sucked for tp. So for my fuze, I ordered this:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000489&products_id=12333
My only worry with these cases is that it doesn't say or show what type of lining the inside of these leather cases have...That is a concern IMO...
Great links guys, but i think im gonna order the Original Pouch that came with the Touch Pro, for my Fuze :-D
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=170921
(Thanks to migsims for the link, ive been looking for that original pouch on sale for weeks :-D)
Does anyone have the bodyglove? I was wondering if it was hard to push the bottom menu with fingers?

They have these at Target for $8. I picked one up as the Fuze fits in there very nicely and I needed something to use until I find a better case. It would really be ideal if the belt clip were better. But for $8, its a steal.

Hi:
By any chance do you have a picture of what this case looks like? And, do you by any chance know the Sprint item number? I can't find it online, and would like to call around to see if any Sprint stores in my area have one.
Thanks!
Does anyone know what size torx the G1 takes and where to purchase. I checked Radio Shack and they had one that was really small but did not fit.

It's in the service manual posted on this site.
T5 and T6.
If you live in the US I don't know where you could purchase this.
I got mine at Fry's Electronics. If you have one near you, they'd definitely have it.

Got a frys about 45min from my house. Thanks for the info. I will be looking for the manual.
