Taking apart a Magician

Can someone tell me how to take apart (or point me to a site that does) the Magician? I've got a buddy who anodizes paintball guns, and I thought it would be kinda cool to have the aluminum housing of my magician anodized... but I can't figure out how to get it open. I undid the two screws, but that didn't seem to loosen anything, and I'm afraid to use too much force prying on things (for obvious reasons :? ). Any help would be appreciated.

Here you are

Wobbly Hermes 200

Hi
First i would say that my english is not so good
But the problem i have is that my hermes/tytn is wery loose in the slide mekanism.
Is there a way to get it tighter?
Any help would be nice!
Thank's

If you get a bit of thick sticky tape and put it over the groves. Slice it down the middle of each grove and that should help keep it a bit tighter.
There is a tutorial here somewhere.

aha, almost like the Nokia N95 fix then
Thank's for fast reply!

There is only one way to truly fix this problem and that is to correct the defect in the sliders/runners:

This has been discussed here in other threads and the above fix has been done with reported success (including me) and is also contained in the Hermes wiki.
Here's one of the threads:

Stylus loose

Hi there, im new & loving this place & my tytn.
My stylus has just developed a loose problem so bad that it can easily fall out?
I see lots of solutions around for the wizard, is it not common with the hermes?
One solution was the paper in the holes near the battery but unlike the wizard, the hernes are filled. Apologies if this has been answered but all i really got with the search related to the wizard. I dont want to dismantle.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

YES, it's common. Caused by a little plastic block comming off. It will all become clear here:

You only need remove the back cover. Be careful replacing the back cover to align the macro arm of the camera.

Once again Mike thank you. Im amazed at this phone & was lucky to spot grade B stock on ebay selling for only 65 pounds, only thing missing was the box & extras but phone condition is almost new.

I need HTC G2 "BLUE PRINTS", Help me?

I need the blue prints for at least the specific area boxed in green. I'm planning to make a project for every one here at xda but I need your help. The project isnt that great but I would still like to share it once I have pictures.
So can anyone please make or find a blue print for the specific part in the picture?
It has to be the accurate size as a life sized G2.
I need the cut outs to be perfect if you dont mind.

If someone posted actual blueprints up on xda, HTC would probably sue their ass off. I'm sure they're discussed under NDA. Probably the only way to find out what's in there is to crack out the multimeter and the screwdriver good luck lol

Here's a link I found to someone who did a near full teardown of the DZ:

But it doesnt have what I'm looking for ):

[Q] Why is there no tutorial on.....

I need to change my D800s screen and LCD because I dropped it and it broke. I managed to pry it open but I don't want to unscrew the wrong screw to change the screen. Is there any tutorial on how to accomplish what I ask?

Hi,
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437403, at the end of the service manuals there is a disassembly guide with screw sizes and schema.
