Does anybody know where you can get a new faceplate for the Wizard 100 series? (Cingular / Dopod styling).
Also, how does the old one come off, with just loosening the two small torq screws on the back of the slider?
Thanks!

No idea where you'll get one from, but there's more holding them together than just those 2 screws.....
check the wiki for magician diss-assembling methods - they're likely to be similar, but in brief you'll need to prise the aeriel cover off, remoce 2 screws there and void warranty seal, remove the 2 screws you can see, then lever the casing away from the chassis.

I recall reading a thread either here or on howardforums about someone who found a source for the stylus. When I went to the site the poster provided, I found that they provide just about every part for HTC phones. I think there may have been a minimum quantity that must be ordered, but haven't verified. Do a search on "stylus" or "found stylus" or similar here and at HoFo and see if you can find the thread.
Thanks Summiter! Do you remember how old the post was? I have been searching with no success

I plan on buying a deskcharger but ofcourse when putting the phone on it will need removing the rubber cap on the bottom of the phone every time. That's a bit of hassle. So, how to remove the cap permanently ? Hopefully it's possible to cut one end of the rubber "string" and pull it through the hole. If not, then it would be best to open the phone I guess. Anyone know the best procedure for this ? Many thanks.
Where is rubber cap? 8)

Where's your head ? As in my original post : " the rubber cap on the bottom of the phone". Anyway I understand this HTC Magician has many different faces and asses My model has the rubber-cap. Any help would be appreciated.
Code72,
The 'rubber cap' is a dust cover for the usb and headphone jack on the Dopod 828, Krome Spy and Orange SPV M500. All the other versions of the Magician don't have it.
Daffie,
I would pull out the rubber cap as far as it can go and cut off the 'strings' as close to the body as possible. that way the ends should just disappear back up into the case.

Thanks. Yeah that's what I figured. Hopefully if I cut the string on one side only it can be pulled through the hole. That would be the ultimate solution. If that doesn't work then I'll cut both sides. I'm afraid though the leftover piece of string could get a life of it's own inside the phone
:wink:
Hey, I'll swap you my plain vanilla magician for your m500, I like the rubber cap! My USB port is full of dust and crap!

I managed to knock my 8125 off the counter while charging, landing on the charging connector and snapping the USB connector off the motherboard. Does anybody know where I can find instructions on how to disassemble the 8125 so I can attempt to re-solder it to the board. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a link to the Wizard Service Manual
http://www.box.net/public/4enzlr1l8c
This is what Ive been looking for....Thanks for the link.
This site is EXCELLENT.
Thank you very much for the link. I was able to take it apart with no problems and then solder the Mini-USB connector back in place on the board, with no problems. The phone works great again, charging and tethering, and transferring data. Thanks again.
hey thanks a lot for the link...and also for Reighvin for proving that its possible cuz the same EXACT thing happend to my brother....
It takes a steady hand, and I suggest a magnifying glass on a stand to help see the 5 contract points. They are tiny and very close together.
im having trouble taking out the back housing!!! the 8125 is a little different to the MDA onthe diagram...who did u do it?
About removing the batter cover, and the top cover around the the camera...
The battery cover is simple. But the camera cover requires to gently pry it up around the edges. Be especially careful around the top of the phone, as there are a couple plastic clips there.
Once the covers are off, there are 4 screws to be removed. One is under a VOID label. Once they are removed, the board just comes right out of the phone.
oo yeah igot that part, i was having trouble with the full housing in the back because i had to open the keyboard adn then take it out...i just hope soldering it back on work and does the job...becuase the usb part, 1 of the 5 small pins is chopped off...

Now I have the same problem. The connectors drop out, I can't charge or sync. Any suggestions? I don't know to solder at all.
Removing the back housing on the 8125
Hello Reighvin,
I'm trying to take my 8125 apart to remove the camera module. I have the Wizard service manual and was able to take the battery cover (of course!) and the camera cover off. I also was able to take out the 4 screws holding the back housing on. I was not able to figure out how to take the back housing off, though. The Wizard has a little different housing from the 8125. The Wizard manual shows where there are plastic clips holding the back housing in place. I'm not sure where the 8125 housing clips are.
You said in your posting above that after the screws are removed, the back houseing just lifts out. Didn't you have problems with the plastic clips that still hold it in place? What did you use to pry the back housing out after removing the screws?
Thanks much,
Cingular 8125 GSM Reception Problem
I have replaced the full housing of my cingular 8125 and after that I am phacing a problem with it's signal reception. It can find the provider I can make a phonecall but it cuts the line when it tries to get signal from another transmitter point of the same provider. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
I am looking at replacing the full housing on my MDA Vario. (current one is very badly scratched)
Anyone done a full disassembly of this unit? Any tips or things to watch out for?
Many thanks,

Hi,
I have just bought a new O2 atom housing (as my old one is scratched to death), and am currently trying to find a guide or instructions on how to dismantle the phone housing.
I know there are two T screws with void stickers on them that need to be removed at the bottom end of the phone one you slide the battery cover off. I can't see any other screws visible. Apparently there are meant to be 4.
Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to change the housing? I have searched this forum and google, and have come up with nothing much.
Thanks everyone!
There is a fully descriptive video on dismantling the Atom, I cant find it but I had it last year and Im sure you will find it just keep looking. Basically you must remove the camera housing cover and there are two more screws under that, then you run you finger nail between the front and back cover to open the housing, good luck and remember nothing needs to be forced.
try this...http://bible.younet.com/files/2007/03/30/369427.shtml
you have to pop the top half of the rear cover off. it is particularly difficult, and the black strip that runs right around the devices is very soft plastic which gets mashed real easy. try using your fingernail (even that will dent it) and run it around the edge. Once it pops off you will see the other two screws. they also has void stickers on them.
Good luck

I know there are 4 screws that need to be removed. have taken the top cover off so can see the other 2 screws have an old nokia T tool but it does seem to fit the screw heads
can anybody tell me... what sort of tool do you use to take the screws out?
hmm i use a precision screwdriver set , try all the size and see which one it fits =)

Hi all,
do you know if a Atom Exec housing is compatible with a Xda Atom "classic". Same dimensions i think.
Thanks a lot !
Don't know if this has been mentioned before but you need not disassemble *anything* on the Kaiser (8925 / AT&T Tilt) to replace the keyboard. The keyboard has an adhesive backing. Open the slideout, then gently pry up the keypad. Don't worry if you destroy the old one. There are several layers - the key pads themselves, the rubber spongy part, the actual sensor (white layer) part, and the bottom which is a black layer with the adhesive.
I bring this up because I carefully disassembled the entire phone only to figure out that the keypad is inserted from the top (keypad) side, not attached in any way from the under side of that part of the housing.
I hope this helps somebody
I'm glad to know this! I've got a TyTN II with the standard black keyboard. I love it. So, I bought a phone on eBay that was supposed to be a real HTC TyTN II... but it is the TILT. I HATE the silver keys. I have found several sources on eBay for new keyboards, but am having trouble finding a black TyTN II board. I can find pretty easy, however, the WING keyboard. LOOKS identical...
Anyone know if it is a direct replacement?

thanks! i have another issue: some keys are harder to activate, mainly "g" and "y". could it be possible to clean it only and replace it? and is there a step by step manual for how to disassemble the keyboard?
thanks

yep same here. r, s, and spacebar give me the most trouble ( probably because they are so common. word recognition is my only workaround to this point but it is very frustrating. I guess the keyboards for the tilt dont hold up so well. I did remove and clean my t-mob dash keyboard with tuner cleaner from radioshack and it worked a treat. wish i could get a working keyboard out of my kaiser.
I was having the same problem with the w, v, and s keys and found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2719032&postcount=1
I was planning on buying a new keyboard off ebay, but this worked like a charm.
Where can I buy a tilt replacement keyboard assembly other than Ebay, but at a similar price so I can receive it faster than if it came from China?

It's a rubber dome capacitance keyboard - there isn't much to clean. I ripped mine out and replaced it with one from eBay - no more pounding on the "T" key.
Problem is - my replacement keyboard is peeling up from the corners (adhesive isn't holding), so I'm going to throw another $5.00 into it and see if I can come up with a way to make the next one REALLY stay down in all 4 corners.
There are videos and manuals showing how to disassemble entire phone. Here's a link to the videos:
http://www.fonlogix.us/ATampT-Tilt-Complete-Housing-_p_548.html#
Once you watch that, I'm not sure you'll want the manual. But the 8925 service manuals are fairly easy to find in PDF format. I'll make you do the Google typing for that one.
hi, some of my keys on my tilt i have press'em harder in order for the key to work, would a keyboard replacement fix the issue?

Perfect!! Thank you, I ordered 2 sets.
hi, rad1224 you receive the screws set? contains only 9 screws T6? I would need 10 screws T5 for the display back cover.
Thanks prema! i finally found a chassis for my kaiser! i don't need the full housing anymore!
thanks!!!
