Well I did - twice - and HOW MUCH do they cost from O2 for a 3-pack!
Anyway - I have a spare so it is for sale

A little trick, put a single wrap of sellotape around the very top of the stylus and it now fits snuggly into the stylus slot

I have a replacement screen fror my Alpine. I located a site a while ago which showed in text and photos how to open up the xda IIi, but now I can't find it and I don't want to break anything guessing, any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Can you please tell me where did you get the replacement screen ? I bought Alpine 5 days back and suddenly its screen is not working anymore. (PDA is fine only touchpad is not working). I can install all softwares and it works ok, but no more touch sensitive.

I got the screen from here, http://www.runpda.com/ , it cost £93.00
including shipping. But I got stung by UK Customs for £38.00 Tax, rip-off, so it cost me £131.00 in total. I've bought from this part of the world before and not been charged by taxman, its just the luck of the draw.
Someone suggested this place in the UK, but I had already ordered, if anybody tries this one, post costs etc for everyone. Mobile Repair Centre in London. 177a North end road 0207 610 3103.
I used this manual to open case, all the instructions are ok,
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya/Himalaya-Service-Manual/
they only bit that is confusing is the opening of the black plastic cover, basically follow manuals instructions to open cover by pen holder side, then slid a thin piece of plastic in the gap and slid along (I made a plastic tool from cutting a thickish plastic bottle). In the picture it looks like you place it in the SD slot, this is not the case, just slid along the edge of the gap you have created by the pen holder. :lol:
Hi again,
Forgot to mention, that the internally the screen just pushs onto a connector on the motherboard (just pull gently upwards to remove). I would disconnect it and reconnect it, and put your Alpine back together, just to see whether it was loose or not) Please ensure you use the write screw drivers as the screws are very small and you don't want to round them off), you need a mini philips screwdriver and a T6 size Torc screwdriver.
I'm not sure where you bought it from but if it is retail, then I would exchange or get your money back, if like me you bought privately then I hope my info helps you.
Hi,
My stylus is constantly dropping out of the phone. I don't think it's a stylus or phone issue but general bad design since stylys inserted on the bottom of the phone. I saw some suggestions involving dissassembling phone and doing somestuff inside the phone but I'd rather not to go that far.
Are there any other easy ways of fixing this issue?
Please do search before posting
Example: write loose AND stylus in search field, lots of thoughts :wink:
That's right. A little search will give you quite a lot of options to fix your problem. But i think the simplest and most effective way is cut a piece of plastic straw which is a bit shorter than the length of the stylus, push it into the hole then you'll feel that it's like your brandnew wizard again!
an easier way is to wrap a bit of see through celotape near the nib. go around the stylus "twice" will feel like new when you put it back in the phone.
See image below

What fixed it for me is sticking small parts of grocery bags as suggesting into orifice. Works like a charm.
For the last couple of months my wizard has had a piece of Bluetack wedged up it's stylus hole. Hasn't fallen out since...
Can anyone confirm that the alignment of the mini usb on the bottom of the Kaiser is identical to the Hermes?
I see some online accessory shops are adverstising car cradles and desktop cradles from the Hermes for the Kaiser.
It'll be great if I don't have to upgrade all this fruit for once.
With regards
I'd like to have that confirmed too.. I already have a desktop cradle but I don't know if the Kaiser fits in there too... (then I can sell the hermes without the cradle)
Its the same orientation
Yup its the same orientation

Its something like that
Kaiser fits my Hermes Cradle. The mini-USB connector AND it's spacing is the same as Hermes so it fits the cradle, the back is thinner so there is not the same support as an exact fitting version but it will work until I can find a Kaiser version that charges a spare battery like this one.
Can confirm it fits the TyTN cradle - but as said before it is a little loose. I used to stab at the TyTN with a pen in its cradle just fine but need to hold the Kaiser as it rocks back a bit when you press the screen.

Right, since the back is thinner, the majority of support is comming from the USB connector. I'm being super careful with mine until a new cradle comes out, would hate to hurt that connector.
Tape or glue some folded-up paper or cardboard onto the cradle to act as a shim -- that should keep the Kaiser from rocking.
Hi,
I just got a used Kaiser off ebay. It arrived today. It is a replacement for my Hermes.
My Kaiser came with a brodit passive car mount. It seems to hold the kaiser loosely and allows it to move back and forth a little - i can't see the product code as its attached to a brodit articulated arm thingy. My Hermes is a perfect fit in this holder.
I have a brodit active mount for my Hermes that the hermes fits perfectly but the kaiser also fits into it with exactly the same amount of play as in the kaiser holder that it came with. I have read other threads on here with people saying that the kaiser brodit mount leaves an amount of space behind the unit. Do i have two hermes mounts or are the units brodit sell exactly the same? My only issue with using the active mount for the kaiser is htat the plug does not line up correctly.
i was thinking about getting a Kaiser active mount but am now thinking i may as well adapt the hermes one i have instead of shelling out for the proper Kaiser one if it is going to be exactly the same holder.
anyone done this?
i simply want to re-align the miniUSB (which looks glued on) so that it lines up with the socket on the Kaiser. i was wondering if i can remove it without breaking it and what type of glue ot use to stick it back on?
i was also going to stick some felt or other soft material to the back of the holder to help steady the unit and take pressure of the plug/socket.
i hope i have explained all this clearly enough... seems to be an awful lot of "kaiser one", "hermes one".... let me know if i need to clarify anything.
any help appreciated.
i prised off the usb connector by using a pairing knife. apply enough pressure and rock the blade until the blade is around 1/3 of an inch in and then twist the blade to 'pop' the usb connector off.
I then seated the kaiser in the holder, inserted the usb connector, checked over th fit and then seperated it all again.
Leaving the PDA in the holder i applied superglue to both the usb connector and the area of the holder onto which the connect would sit.
Then inserting the connector into the PDA in-situ, applied pressure to the connector until the glue cured.
Hey presto.... £40 saved!
it can be a bit fiddly to get the Kaiser seated properly in the modified Hermes holder but i heard the official Kaiser one was no different!.
Hope this is a help to someone.
Hi!
The plastic bit that holds the stylus to the back on my 614c has come off (and there's a small metal piece as well) and I'm not sure how to put them back together... can anyone share a picture of how the stylus holder is fitted to the back flap please?

maybe it helps

Thanks, but need a bit more help... there is a small metal piece (it would be ~1 cm long if it was straightened) with a small v-shaped notch in the middle, and the edges are bent at 90 degrees, something like this:
|___ __|
......\/
the digram is not to scale, but the V is not exactly in the center. (ignore the ...... otherwise the V wasn't displaying where it should)
I think this is what locks the stylus in, but I can't seem to find a place where it belongs... can you look through the slot and maybe tell me where you see it?
Thanks!
i think i've found what you mean
looks like it's situated on the top of the slot.
see here: http://www.mendelonline.be/fotos/614c/location
Thanks!
All this time I was trying to fit the strip across the hole (which doesn't make much sense in hindsight) but from the 2nd image I understood that it goes parallel. So far I've slotted it in (the tubelike piece has a slot for it) and it's just being held in place by the cover... i.e. if I remove the back cover it's all going to fall apart
Need to find a way to glue it in carefully.
