Hey guys I was searching up on the forums about replacing the covers on the Jam after I dropped mine the other day, and after seeing the post by adolfotregosa:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...ays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=housing&start=0
I decided im just going to spray paint the case black.
I found the PDF file about removing the back and side casings to fix a speaker issue, but I havent come across anything that explains how to remove the front cover, and the lcd from the front cover.
Can anyone shed some light on how to do this?
PDF file speaker issue
Can you please give me the link to the
"PDF file about removing the back and side casings to fix a speaker issue".
Cheers mate....

After removing the flat cable as in page 15/16, right under the flat cable there's some clip you need to push towards outside. It suppose to come off completely. When that's off you can pop the screen. I needed to use some force but not as much to break it
just remember, AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I have an XDA2 which works perfectly except the back light does not work. I dropped it in water. everything has returned ok except the backlight. the software is ok but I think that the bulb or what ever lights is broken. Any one know how to open up the XDA2 and if so how do I get the particular item?
It is quite easy to open the xda 2. You need a number 6 torx screwdriver and a small crosshead jewellers screwdriver. One of the screws is under the sticker bottom left of xda2. The top black plastic cover can be popped off. Once the screws are out you will need to get a thumbnail or similar and run it around the seam which will pop the plastic catches. If you remove the motherboard be very careful when releasing the flat connecter that links the screen to the motherboard. I dont know if the light is seperate from the board but once you have it open it would be a good idea to look at all chips and solder under a loupe or magnifying glass to see if there is any residue bridging pins and gently scrape away.
Try only to keep pressed the power switch...
Bye, M..

Thanks for the information. Have tried holding the on/off switch down many times.

Thank you for the information on opening. Will let you know how I get on. Have one more avenue to try first.

I managed to successfully fix my speaker probelm. But the pictures will guide you on the on the open/close procedure. :wink:
Good luck and make sure you document your procedure in pictures!
Best regards,

I have flashed/reflashed it with many ROM's and no change. This has to be a hardware issue. This usually happens when I leave it in my back pocket and sit on it (I don't weigh that much.) I have tried to soft/hard reset and no luck. When it does turn on, it will start up and after everything has loaded it fades to a white screen. I have noticed that when I take it apart, all the way to the screen and put it back together, it works. I have read the post about the rip in the screen connector cable. But after inspecting mine, I could not find any rip.
Also, people are having trouble hearing me when I'm on the phone with them. this seems to be an issue with the mic. I have heard of other people on here with the same issue but no resolution.

Try loosening up the screws that attach the LSD to the front panel. That is what worked on mine.
LSD? are you talking about the sliding device? Cloud you please be more specific? is this for the screen or the mic?
Thanks
I'm sorry, I meant LCD(don't even want to think about what kind of freudian slip that was).
But you know when you take it apart, the front of the phone, where the LCD is attached. There are 4 screws to get inside that front casing then there are 4 screws holding it on to the front casing on the inside.
I slightly loosened all 8 screws (the 4 on the inside and when I closed the casing back, those 4 also) and the white screen stopped when I got the phone back together.
i dropped my tytn the otherday now the slide out keyboard wont work,or lite up, does this mean some things come off in side and i need to dissmantle it?,
Be an idea to check... Do a search for the HTC Hermes service guide and you will find out what you need to do to take apart. You should only need to remove the back cover to see if the connector has come out. Should be on the left hand side about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom next to the bottom protective plate on the Main board. Push connector in(sorry, don't have photo's). If it clips back in the that was the problem, if it still won't work then other problem.
Be careful of the battery catch and camera switch when replacing the back cover...
Hi,
whenever my hd2 uses the vibrate feature, it only gives off a weak vibration, together with a more high pitched sound than usual. Is this a known problem?
thanks
its happening to me :S
look carefully at the camera flash cover...most likely, this cover has been depressed into the body of the phone.
i had this same problem about a month ago. so i carefully saw the (widely available) dis-assembly video. you only need to go through about 10% of the dis-assembly steps...essentially, just remove the back cover and re-seat the camera flash cover.
once you remove the back cover, you will notice that the vibrator motor lies just beneath the camera flash cover...that is why you hear that funny "new" vibration noise.
one final note...if you decide to fix the problem yourself, be sure to use a PLASTIC prying tool. i didn't and i got some scratches and nicks on the bezel area
I'm hoping somebody with some knowledge of the HD2's innards can help me...
My vibration stopped working on my HD2. I found the plastic LED flash cover to be 'pushed in' (with the help of a couple xda threads I dug up). Others said it was an easy fix: Open the case and push that piece of plastic back into place.
I opened up the case to correct it. But after putting it back together not only does vibrate not work, but the volume keys, speakers (both earpiece and speakerphone), flash, notification led, and camera all don't work.
I obviously screwed something up, but I have no clue what it could have been. I was very careful. One thing I'll note is that when I pulled the case apart, the plastic volume rocker went flying. When putting the phone back together I got it back into place so that I THOUGHT it should work (it was seated properly and felt "clicky" for up/down movements.
But clearly wasn't just the volume rocker that was affected. It doesn't seem that I pulled anything else loose or anything like that...
But no luck, all that I listed above is non functional, and what I'm left with is a glorified 3.5 in tablet
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!!
Snapped a couple quick pics which may help:

Unfortunately when comparing these to other pictures of the inside of the HD2 that I found online, I fail to see any differences, or anything I could have inadvertently screwed up.
Most likely you screwed up(or disconnected from motherboard) somehow your main flexboard, but your picture are not usable for this, you should take off your motherboard+main flexboard from chassis to have a full view!
You probobly just disconnected a small cable. I have no idea of the HD2 innards but did multiple repairs of small stuffs and the flat cables hold in place by a plastic clicker pull out easily - just reopen and check them all, you should be fine.
Thanks for the input! I figured it's something like that, just one small cable. But I didn't even take off the board at all... The pictures show the full extent of the disassembly... Do we still think it's necessary to disassemble it further?
I checked all visible connections, but yeah, maybe I somehow yanked out something that is NOT visible. I'll try to check again today... In the meantime, any more ideas from anyone else? Thanks!
For al that to be not responding I would assume main-flex damaged or as mention before maybe connection to mainboard got moved during pulling cover !
Volume button can be troublesome, sometimes the little plastic caps come off but if it felt clicky should be good in that respect.
also be very carefull of thin spring metal legs that contact antenna pads on back cover, one near screw above & right of vibro motor looks a to be a bit flat. They bend easily & break easily too ...
Have u tried starting up the phone without the backing? I had this issue when I painted my housing the led cover was stopping the motor from spinning but if i took out the backing it works. So I just trimmed the led cover and now it works.

I'm nooby with regard to this stuff; I only attempted the repair since I read in a couple other threads about multiple self-proclaimed non-super-tech savvy people were able to open it up and move the plastic LED cover for an easy fix.
So what exactly am I looking for with regard to the main-flex? Where is it? I thought I wouldn't really see that unless I removed the board which I haven't done... is it still possible I knocked it loose or damaged it? I didn't think that would be possible since I ONLY removed the back cover (though it does take a slightly uncomfortable amount of force to do so, so I guess anything can happen...).
If not the main flex cable, is there anything else specific to look at which may be disconnected? It seems to be all the stuff at the top of the phone that fails to work (camera, speakers, vibration, flash, volume keys). While the stuff on the bottom (other hardware buttons, charging jack, headphone jack, etc).
THanks!
I have given up. After being stumped briefly how to hard reset the device without the volume keys working (I have Android installed), I was able to do it via ADB from the Android dev kit.
To ebay I go...
