Is it boxed / complete? Last one I bought like that on ebay I paid £135 for. It was a jasjar not an exec though
Richard.

have you tried ringing up htc liverpool?
go to www.htceurope.com and get their phone number and ask how much it would be to put a newlcd in. cant be that much surely, better than taking a huge monetary drop
if all fails, ill give you a tenner for it matey, jokes aside please find out how much it would be, you might be surprised

HTC won't repair XDA devices only orange and t-mob branded units - if you read liverpool's previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40201&highlight=
I've already suggested a few routes :-(
Richard

Fluffcat; It is boxed everything there, 2 extra protective cases one of which is a hard case not a leather one and also screen protector.
I have already rang htc europe and they were no help. But i dont understand how the screen cracked it was in its leather case and didnt fall, took it out of my pocket and it was cracked.
But if anyone wants to make an offer ill think about it.

50$

i think $50 is a bit little. :lol:

Have you tried PPCTechs for a screen replacement? they seem to do it for 249 dollars

You could try sending it to a mate via royal mail, insure it for whatever value it will cost to replace, if the screen breaks on route it will be covered. Oh, sorry, just reread your post, didn't realise it was already broke :wink:
Regards

what would you sell it for? I'm looking at keeping it as a spare parts reserve for my universal

Broken screen-where to fix? Or.. CHEAPEST new EXEC?

Hi!
I've got crack on my screen- and you wan't belive me, but nothing has happen! I haven't drop this PDA, nothing elese in the pocket, I haven't seat on that pocket etc.. Just opened AND..
Anyway, I've to fix this ASAP
What are my options? Propably it is not covered by warranty so it is pointless (imho) to speak to them.
Who can fix this? How much do I've to pay?
Or, what's the cheapest option now to buy new EXEC?
Any ideas? Or... maybe I can buy just screen and someone can repalce this?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Chris

Easy enought to swop yourself - screens are approx £130, but give the o2 helpline a call for a fitted quote to see what they offer as this will maintain warranty on the device.
Is it the LCD or digitiser itself that has broken? (Ink splodge or crack? )
Richard

Thanks for your quick reply!
Unfortunatly LCD (touch screen is still working).
Yes, I'll give them a call today.
£130 is NOT THAT MUCH to be honest.

That's the screen cost from Taipei after shipping and tax - o2's price is likely to be higher.
Richard

Thanks!
Yes, I know O2 will be around £185...
Why it is so expensive ? 30% just for the screen...
Is there any chance to fix this under warranity?

They are charging you to *fit* it as well. No chance under warranty methinks but maybe if you bought the insurance now and claimed in 6 - 8 weeks? ;-)

Screen Broken
My Exec screen also cracked (round the back) It was in my pocket and certainly hadn't been dropped and the case was unmarked and the front of the screen was unmarked So I cant see that it had been knocked or crushed. They replaced it free of charge as a 'gesture of goodwill' - Having said that I have the o2 gold insurance so I wasnt going to pay anyway.
Sadly it took them over a month to get me a replacement, despite numerous calls and emails, so at the end of the contract I wont be going back to O2.
I wonder if this screen thing is in fact a manufacturing problem rather than user error. It might be worth saying that 'you've heard that other users have experienced cracked screens...'

A manufacturing fault and just being vulnerable to damage are not the same thing, sadly. They don't usually break unless you leave them in the cold / in your back pocket as you sit down / face open in your pocket with your keys etc etc. If the digitiser stops working on loads of units with no intervention - that's a manufacturing fault, but lots of people breaking the LCD's? might be easily done - but ultimatley their own fault either by carelessness or accident. My advice - buy a case!
Richard
( who puts all his pda's in his back pocket and sits down on them with his fat ass with no issues so far )

My exec was in O2 for a repair for bloody 8 weeks !!! (it arrived today...).
I had pleased them, mail and phone-bomb them, threatened them to death and court, but they still have pissed on me from the high...
So, my conclusion > NO FING WAY that I`ll give my Exec to O2 again....
Not speaking about that 185 pounds they wanted BEFORE they repaired it (like second week they had it)...

8 weeks? :evil:
Paying 185 quid for repair and wait 8 weeks???
Wow, thanks for that post...
Anyway, thank you for all your replys- I've got one more question.. can some1 give an email address to Service dept please? I've tried yesterday to call them but line was busy (
Thank you for your support!
Cheers!
Chris

I've also had this problem - the screen crack looks to me as though it's at the point which gets stressed the most when the screen is flipped around during opening. The warranty expressly excludes cracked LCDs. Which has to give you a clue...
My advice - if you ever buy one do it on a credit card with insurance which covers it. Mine is paying for the repair.

Hi Alec,
I've got this EXEC as a upgrade so they just charged my account (direct debit). Also, I've got just HSBC CC and there is no inssurance.
The other thing is- sales agent FORGOT to add this £5 insurance to my account!!! Also, he should change my tarif- which wasn't done
So I'm very upset with o2 sales agents
My next contract will be propably with T-MOBILE (I'm half German so... )
Cheers!

Richard,
I remeber agent's name - Nick. His extension number was 21SOMETHING AFIK Do they record every call? For haw long do they keep them?
Anyway, is too late...
Soo, i'm ready to pay this £185- but I'd like to mek sure that this screen fill be fixed withn let say 1-2 weeks MAX!
Thanks anyway...
Chris

Dunno how long they keep the records, but if he did the upgrade his name and the time will be on the notes for your account as he'll want the commision - at least ask operator X who did the upgrade and what extension (nicely) than ask operator Y to speak to 'Nicks' supervisor as he didn't add the insurance you asked for - it may even be detailed in the notes anyway as I would think they get commision for that as well.
Richard

DAMN,..I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!!
I always carried my device very carefull. Yesterday I opened the device and the screen was cracked. nothing on the outside, only the screen had a crack and is useless now. I had to send it to T-Mobile since my garentee is one year (sorry for the bad english)
Very strange,.. is seems like the screen can crack without bumping it to something.
Arjan

Arjan,
I'm so sorry to hear this... And as far I know they wan't fix this under warranity Anyway, TRY!
Also, can you please ask them how much they are going to charge you and let me know?
Many thanks and goodl luck with this one!
Cheers!

Well,.
I phoned up T-mobile NL. and they said I might be under warrenty, since the device is less than one year old. The sent me an enveloppe for the device to sent back. So I did yesterday, including the ticket I got when I bought the device.
I would take 10 days (they said) to fix it and sent back. If it woudn't fall under warrenty the device would be sent back fixed with a bill...
I really hope it will be fixed without having to pay. I was really carefull with it...
Arjan

Hmm, I'm not that careful- I've got some scratches...
Anyway, it was VERY expensive weekend (I had to cancel my trip Germany- Lufthansa, only taxes refunded, canceled car hire reservation, broken screen in my PDA, ALMOST crashed my mondeo, some other unplaned expenses) so 200 more is not a big deal :twisted:
M8, hopefuly they will fix your PDA for free
let me know please!
Cheers!
Chris

I understand guys..what u all are going thru..my screen has broken not once but twice..n like some of u guys mentioned i had never put any stress on my device...still it broke..for the first change, i had to pay( i fought with imate management but they didnt do anything..i have a post about our conversations) but second time, i just sent them a single email and they changed my screen for free.
Too b honest, i feel imate jasjar have some design issues...just like a blot appearing on keypads(extreme top left n right side) because the cushion padding is not effective.
What ill suggest, we should get together and email these people..however iknow that wont have much effect but still..it might have some effect..

Can ANYONE help me? My screen BROKE?!?!?

sadly this was like the second time the phone dropped, it wasnt even a far fall
I DONT have insurance on it because when I activated the service, I completely forgot about insurance, then when I called up to activate the insurance, it was past the 15 day deadline by about 2 days so i couldnt put no insurance.... i just may have to buy a new screen, can anyone give me any tips of where to get one or how much it would cost or any other useful info?

I had the same issue. HTC says they can repair it for about $170.00 but I would be out of a phone for about a week and a half. I'm researching... I'll keep ou posted if I find anything else.

Also i saw on ebay some wizard screens, about £20, i didn't look into them too much but could be an option if you were feeling brave enough to give it a go
EDIT
Ok, that was just the touch panel bit, the full screen+panel was a bit more, but still cheaper than $170

7501 replacement keyboard?

Hey guys -
I just picked up one of these interesting devices at CompUSA's firesale, and it is in good condition, but for one thing - it seems like the KB was dropped and has a small dent. Now, it is totally cosmetic, but something I would like to eventually fix (cost permitting).
I have done some searching, but haven't found anything about a replacement part. Anyone have any experience with this?

I haven't seen one mention of a replacement keyboard, but replacement cases for the main unit are available online. Have you tried calling HTC?

i saw a replacement dopod k/b for 150 usd.. cant remember where, just came up through extensive googling for a replacement body

I agree, call HTC, they are usually pretty good about sorting out this sort of thing.

I saw your post and took a quick gander myself. I did find the Dopod version; only complaint is it is silver and not black..
http://cnn.cn/shop/dopodo2-u1000-athena-platform-c-138_416.html
But, it is an option if HTC can't help (going to be calling in a few; lunch break.
I will let you know know what they say. Thanks!

Well, thanks for the advice guys, but THC was a no-go. I called both the general support number, and the warrenty/repair number given to me by support, and came up short both ways. They flat out said they don't sell the part alone, and that she (nice lady at least) did not know where i could look. I guess i may consider the dopod version as backup; thankfully, this is a fully usable unit even without the keyboard; I will just have to be careful as it could scratch my body; something I don't want...

Just out of curiosity, which store did you get it from?

for the amount a replacement will cost you might be as well to send back your cosmetically damaged one and buy a new athena elsewhere.

Many of us prefer to use the device without the keyboard. Some may be willing to sell it or swap with you for a reasonable price perhaps?

Magnetic stylus + ballpoint combo

Hmm.. looks like the thread about stylus/ballpoint that I posted a couple of days ago got deleted/rollbacked along with the server shuffle, so I'll post it again - basically I'm looking for a magnetic stylus that has ballpoint/pen. Someone posted a link earlier but there was some mix up as to whether its a ballpoint/stylus or simply a regular one.
I looked around the net and found some made by Styra or Songtak, but not whether those are magnetic. If they are not, wouldn't they fall off the phone? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hey man, Thanks for the offer. I'll take it if you're getting them from eBay. the ideal price would be $3/each including shipping (that's the price I got for the stylus of my tilt)
But you have to be careful, the stylus of a Fuze is slightly different from a Touch Pro

I go one from ebay, the listing said 3X so I assumed there would be three of the stylus/pen units but there was only one! For $10 it is one expensive stylus!

for $10 it's not worthy
maybe is 1 package of 3 stylus
that's what I got for the Tilt... but it's better if you check with the seller.

Buy 3 get 1 ... Is it a magnetic one by the way? I've been asking around, and discovered that most of them aren't. Wouldn't it fall off easily without the magnets?

have you contacted the seller about it?
i haven't got the chance, because i used my girlfriend's ebay account to order (she's from USA), and i dont have her password. =(

I complained after the package arrived and they sent me 2 more! AAA+++ for this seller, don't see that level of service on ebay much these days

no way! i'll try that right now. that IS good service. did you write anything special?

Here is what I wrote:
"Hello,
I received my stylus but there was only one in the package when the title reads "3X" which I interpreted as "three times" or "Three included"
I'm dissapointed, please advise"
They sent me a tracking number the next day along with a friendly email to let me know they were taking care of it!

I bought them and they are not magnetic and they fall right out of the Fuze.

Thanks, good to know

anyone know where to get the stylus that comes with the Touch Pro? I lost mine none of them I have found seem to look like the OEM. I'm sure they work but I would like the OEM to replace it with.
