I've got a problem with my XDA II.
The piece on the Bluetooth light in the left corner of the PDA fell in the phone itself.
What can I do to repair this?
Try contacting the place you bought the unit from so they can give you an address to send it away to be repaired.

Hi,
No doubt as many others have, I managed to drop my XDAII one too many times (they are a bit to light and smooth).
I think the speaker is no a bit duff as sometimes it stops working and I can't hear the other person. If I press on the circular bevel on the case that hides the speaker it starts to work, sometimes tapping the bevel also brings the speaker back to life.
I wanted to know, could this be a simple problem like the speaker connection coming loose or something more serious where a solder fix will have to be applied?
I think the device is still under warranty so I might be able to RMA it but I wanted to know how easy or hard is to fix this, can it be fixed by me or should I send it in to be repaired?
Cheers,
Taz
I would send it in for repair, once you break the security seal you will invalidate warranty and then you will be in trouble if another hardware failure occurs. It is probably a simple connection problem.
its just likely to be the spring connectors from the board to the speaker which is fixable (details can be found in the forums HERE).
However, the O2 XDAII has a 24 month warranty which i found out in November as i had exactly the same problem and decided to take it to my local O2 shop to have it repaired. It took them 1 week to get it back to me but they told me my unit was irreparable and gave me a reconditioned unit as a replacement. I was not very happy as the case was scratched all over etc and my unit was as new. I complained and asked them to give me a new unit. After a further 2 weeks and 2 more instances of sending it back to the repair centre i eventually got a brand new fully boxed XDAII (second battery, second case, second cradle etc etc) from the O2 shop but not until i kicked off with the manager stating how unprofessional O2 was in repairing/replacing a unit that was under warranty.
NB. New XDAII screens are no where near as good as the original screens when looking at it from an angle. They look fine straight on but colours fade/change when viewed from below or from the left.
Hope some of that helps.
Cheers mate,
I think I still have about a year on the warranty but I heard that the XDAII are no longer in production so I am a bit worried that I may not be able to get it repaired however a pal reckons they should upgrade me to the XDAIIs (I had one, didn't like it).
I will visit my local O2 shop in a few days and kick it off with the manager as well... to get some results of course
Cheers,

hello i just recieved my XDA II and i love it except for one thing, the dpad doesnt work except fore the up button,anyone have anyideas whats wrong with it?
I'd send it back. When I got my first XDA2 from o2 they sent me a reconditioned unit and there was definitely something wrong with the D-Pad too.
Did your unit arrive in a fancy o2 box, or was it a white box with seemingly no instructions etc? That's what they did to mine, I made them send me out a new one and I wouldn't give the other back til they had.
Cheers

Hello to you all!
My problem began when I accidently dropped my Magician from a height of about 4 feet. Now it is having somekind of alignment problem. I cannot figure out the actual problem. No Matter where I click on the screen, it takes action on the extreme left side of the screen, for example if i click on the sound icon, it opens the start menu.
By any chance if anyone of you have experienced similar problem and got a solution, please be kind to share it with me. Experts I really need your help, in my country this thing cannot be repaired or replaced as no I-mate service is available. I'm on this forum with great hopes.
God Bless you all.
Please say something.!!

Never heard of this before, but did you try a hard-reset ? seems to me that might be your only chance....
yess! hard resetted a couple of times now I cannot even pass through the screen alignment window that asks to tap on 5 different locations.
it definitely needs repair..you can try contacting www.expansys.com but you'll have to ship the item off to them for repair
Thank You O2Mini_Noob for your kind reply.
This Jam wasn't even bought from Expansys. But I'll still try asking them. In the mean time, can you people tell me if I can try repairing it myself? I'm quite familiar with the electronic devices.
I have had this same problem with an old ipaq 3760. Sometimes it would align after calibration but always went back to way off. After hard reset the only way to proceed was pressing the navigation button because the screen was so far off. I had acciedntally thrown it about 4 metres when it slid out of its case. It did not stop working then, but six months later I dropped it about 20cm on its edge and it went.
I took it in for repairs (I had paid an extra $200 for more waranty) and nobody could find the fault. In the end they told me it was repaired but the one I got back was new with a different serial number.
I do not think there is a solution to your problem. Once the screen goes its not worth fixing. I have a friend with a similar problem on a toshiba. It now registers a random screen tap every 2 -3 seconds making it uselless.
Sorry, I know its a really nice phone.
Expansys use PocketPCTechs as their PDA upgrade/repair centre which is the best repair centre for any PDAs. I guess to repair the O2 mini yourself, you must at least have a service manual. Try this link

I sell the connectors on ebay - unless you are fairly confident with a soldering iron I'd get a mobile phone repair shop to do it for you. You may also have damaged other componants on the board when the socket was pushed up.

XDA II Damaged connection slot
Hi all,
I had the same problem with my XDA II, sent it for repair and it did exactly the same shortly afterwards, i bought a new battery and charged each one alternatively, but found problems syncronising and eventually gave up.
I have recently bought (my little gem) Xda Orbit, after many months examining what was on offer, I love it its is everything i expected and just a little more. Purchased a 2 Gig memory card and installed copilot on so i have sat nav and all my tunes. needless to say i have a spare Xda II up for offer for spares and such should anyone want to get in touch with me.
there is the Cradle and power charger, 2 batteries and it works well just as long as you dont want to connect it to your pc, anyway im new to this site, would be pleased if someone could point me in the right direction for Orbits here and please feel free to contact me, even if just for a chat and introduction. need to get established here.
cheers all, have fun and hopefully speak soon

This happened few days ago. I accidentally dropped the phone when i got down from the car. The mobile was then ran over by the car. Surprisingly there was not a single visible damage to the phone. But then i found out that the phone's speaker was not working. Everything else was working fine. The warranty period also expired.
Sadly, there is no motorola service center nearby my place. I searched for the defy speaker module online and din't get any positive results. What do i do now? please help
I'd find a speaker module on eBay and replace it. Have a cleanroom or at least canned air at hand when assembling it to avoid dust specks under the glass.
Here's one from the many hits:
