As difficult as it may seem to believe, I have actually lost two JasJar stylii.
Does anyone know where I can get more?

Can anyone tell me if the Charmer digitizer is the same physical hardware as the one on the Magician or the Wizard. Mine needs replacing (scratched) and eBay doesn't seem to list replacements for the Charmer.
Also, has anyone ever replaced one and is it easy to do?
Thanks all.
I know, its a bit out of date, but igot the same problem but i repaired my charmer under Guarantee.I guess the answer is yes , but dont really know.I know that they has the same display,but the digitizer...hmmm dont know
Anyone know how? I've read the Wiki and searched online but cannot find a definitive way to take apart the Wizard without breaking it.. I've taken off all 6 screws and cannot find a way to separate the screen from the keyboard..
Basically the reason I am doing this is because the ear piece and the 2 LED's do not work and I want to see why.. I got the Wizard free and put wm6 on it and think its a cool device, worth tinkering with and want to try and fix it.
Nevermind.. I found the service manual..
Hello all
I require some input from some of the gurus of xda-devs and its a question im guessing a lot people would like to know the answer to
Can we swap spare parts from say a Cingular 8525 to a MDA Vario II? (Herm200 --> Herm300)
what i mean to say is, lets say we could only find a front keypad for a cingular 8525, would it fit into the vario II?of course the orientation of keys would be correct for the cingular and not for the vario so you'd need a new front keypad aswell, but on the 'technical' level, is this possible?
many thanks
Don't quote me on this BUT I believe I read a post from Mike Channon saying that internally ALL the Hermes variants were the same. Be best to search through his threads, website or ask the maestro himself...
Cheers...
Yes that's probably about 99% true, BUT I notice the d/pad layout on some variants is quite different and so the underlying board may well be different - have not had time to fully check this.
Mike
Thanks for clearing that up Mike, as I said I wasn't totally sure...
Cheers...
many thanks
so mike, my theoretical scenario, would it work?
if i was to get a cingular 8525 d-pad board and a 8525 keypad to go over it, technically it ought to work right?

I tried to check that out and did not find much info. BUT I see no reason for it not to work circuit wise. You might need to remap keys.
Have you checked that the 8525 keypad will fit the housing you have?
Mike
id happily modify the housing as a temporary thing, but i reckon i'll give it a shot and report back. i have a hunch it will fix the white screen issue.
does anyone know of anyone who has a brick they'd like to sell?!
Ebay is good, bought a couple of dud jasjams off there to fix mine and wouldn't you know it, one actually worked except for the camera & battery. Ended up cannobilizing MY Jasjam to fix up the "broken" one I purchased for parts....
Cheers...
I havent dropped my wing or anything but the "W" and "S" keys on the qwerty keyboard have been losing their sensitivity for the past few weeks. I have to press REALLY hard to get them to work
Anyone know if this would be fixed by replacing the keys or might this be something deeper? I'm toying with the idea of taking it apart - I'm not a stranger to taking apart some of my other phones - but the wing is way more complicated than anything I've done before....
TIA
See if you still have waranty before you take your herald apart.
If so...take it back to the store you've bought it from cause once you've taken apart your device all waranty is lost.
If not...i have see several how-to's to disassemble your herald with good pictures. Try google because i cant't find the exact location where i saw them, perhaps howards forum? Spare parts a sold all over internet or try to buy a broken version for someone over here...might even be cheaper.

i had the same problem, before i broke my 1st wing, after about 5 months into having the phone the "S" button started losing its sensitivty and only worked when i to pressed it down really hard and even sometime it still wouldnt work, now that i had a new wing for a while the same thing is happening again with the "S" button but this time about 8 months into having the phone, i dont know why its doing that but its real annoying when i am textin something
Aaaaghh. I am on a trip overseas and the backlight of the LCD screen on my Dopod 838 Pro just went out. Under a bright light I can make out the screen changing as things happen, but it kind of makes it hard to read (impossible!!). Luckily TomTom kept talking to me, although not as good without the picture of the map to follow!!
Anyone heard of this before? Have read of a few "white screens", but this seems different to other posts.
Would appreciate any tips on fixing or replacing the screen. I plan to try to pull the machine apart and make sure a connector hasn't come loose when I get home, but am hoping I am not up for a new machine just yet.
Although this may be an excuse to upgrade to the Touch HD when it available in Australia!!
Thanks in advance.
3 things
try 1st
make sure your brightness is turned up, settings/system/backlight
try 2nd
backup device, hard reset, see if this works. ( the backlight should not be a software issue, but it is possible)
try 3rd (although I would try this 2nd if you can, because if this works will not lose your personal data like you will in step 2)
take apart and check the flex, (common cause of this problem)
Thanks, time to find my torx screwdrivers!!
Have been playing with as many settings as I could see with a bright torch, and then tried a hard reset (fortunately it was still able to connect to my PC for backing up data).
Even loaded a new ROM OS.
It happened to my Jasjam and I found the scroll wheel circuit board was the culprit (don't ask me how). I managed to get a "broken" Jasjam off ebay for a fair price and cannabalized it for the part I needed. Fixed it nicely.
I don't know if your is the same thing but if you can get a hold of a "broken" Hermes it might be worth a shot. Found the "broken" Jasjam had nothing wrong with it either. Good buy for $120AUD...

Oh thanks heaps man I just fixed my JasJam backlight problem by replacing the scroll wheel circuit with another one!!! This was definately the issue, i would have never thought of trying this! This should be added to the wiki.
