hi guys...i was hoping this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384
would have that pdf on how to disassemble the xda mini, as i can not hear a soul when i get a call, much less make one. I am certain the problem is with the contacts on the speaker, but i am having trouble getting the device open. Any ideas? as well, once i get it open, then what?
The link you indicated contains the disassemble.pdf file, I just checked it. You have to be logged-in to be able to download.
Maybe u should show the device the service centre in your area. Would be better than to tamper with it.

Hello,
i have a huge prblem with my XDA Mini. The phone has a loose connection that means I cant hear the person, i am calling. When I'm hitting the XDA Mini it works sometimes but not for very long.
I took a small peace of paper and jamed it between SD-Card. This works!?! But its not the real solution for my problem. I bought the XDA over the internet, and thats why i want to wait as long as possible before sending the device to the technical support, because this can take weeks!!
Is there any way to open the XDA to get to the headphone so that i can fix this small issue??? I want do this without leaving a scratch on my PPC because i dont want to loose the warenty!
Please help me!! Thank you in advance!
I posted this in the "upgrading etc." part of the forum, please delete the post in that area, because it doesnt fit. Here is the right place , i guess / hope!

I would like to take the xda apart as i have a large dent on the faceplate probably from walking into something whilst in my pocket and i want to push the dent out or tidy it up as much as possible.
Searched everywhere for how to take the phone apart but no luck, found one but unfortunatly a dead link.
If anyway has instructions on how to dismantle i would be grateful!
Also while i'm doing this is there anyway to tighten the screen hinge it feels lose.
Thanks.
I think this is what you are after.

thankyou very much! exactly what i am looking for
sorry to hijack the thread, but this is vaguely on topic.
I have two faulty universals, both usable but neither is perfect. to make one fully functional universal + one that is only partially working, I need to swap the motherbord or the screens. which is the easier task: taking the two halves of the clamshell and swapping them or opening the bottom part and swapping just the motherboards?

Start doing one and see what happens, I have done it to an Alpine, although it's a lot easier to do it only took 20 minutes. To be honest I'd say replacing the motherboard would be easier, theres 4 easily accessible screws to open the case up.
Does anyone know how many speakers the Universal has in total? Two at the front and one or two for voice calls? ie, does it have one behind the d-pad which can be heard with the screen showing or closed or is the a "closed" speaker and an "open" speaker? On my XDA Exec, it only works in closed mode and I'd like to be sure it's a motherboard fault before swapping motherboards over
Sorry for bumping this thread but is the above manual available anywhere?
Sorry thought the FTP link was dead got it working!
im after this guide as well or any other links to taking apart the exec
the link in the second post in this thread is the only one you need.
can this link be posted up...i really need it urgently

Hi all,
I have received my new HTC touch dual, and it has a hardware problem. The number 2 button (it is the 16 key version) is not working properly as the others are. It is very unresponsive, and does not make a clicking sound like the others should. What can I do to fix this? and how?
I am a n00b when it come to this sort of thing, so with every reply can you give some sort of explanation of how I can do it.
The phone is brand new, but I bought it from ebay as it was a sellers unwanted upgrade. So, I won't be able to just get another one from my network provider.
Help me please
There is tho ways
1)Service Center
2)Disassemble and fix by yourself. It's not hard.
But be careful with cables - it's easy to break it - so do not use a force

Thanks for replying.
1. What is a service center and where do I find one in the UK?
2. Once is has been disassembled what will I have to do?
1)HTC official service or trusted partner, but for you phone it wouldnt be free.
2)Check why button does not make a clicking. And fix it, if possible

my phone has an orientation problem and htc wouldn't repair the phone as they said the warranty labels where removed, which was a complete lie as i found them intact as soon as i opened the phone. any way this is me trying to fix it. sorry for the bad quality and the phone being out of camera much. is my first time ever doing a disassembly vid.
not to spoil the video but i didnt correct the problem so if you have any ideas give us a shout cheers.

no idea how to fix it my self, but have you checked the service manual that is in the wiki?
might give you an idea of what switches you would need to have a look at, maybe?
Dude,
You said some trouble getting the frame apart. Im always afraid I'm going break something.
By the way. Im a HUGE fan of Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. Nice video.
i would suggest that you find the DREADIAG.nbh file on xda(the link is here somewhere) or send me a PM with your email and i'll send it to you in an email. the Diag image has a tool that is supposed to calibrate teh G-sensor which i would assume is what is wrong with your phone. i had this problem a few weeks ago and t-mo sent me a "new" phone. i tried the DREADIAG.nbh but it didn't seem to work for me, lay the phone down on it's back and run the diagnostic.
Hello all, I listen to a lot of music at work using my XDA EXEC not a good idea on a fork lift as the uni gets knocked around a bit! Anyway the headphone socket has broken off the circuit board so now I have no sound and can no longer make calls and I'm getting cheesed off with looking at it to see if the amber light is flashing?
I have another XDA EXEC which is like new, I bought it off Ebay some time ago hoping it was the screen and battery that was dodgy but it was blocked so as good as dead!
So what I want to do now is take what ever I need to take off the motherboard from the uni that I currently use with no headphone socket and replace it with the blocked uni so I can make calls and have sound!!
But I don't know what I need to take off or what it looks like?
The reason I want to do this, is because my uni I use has had a hard life and the motherboard is a little brittle and I'm loosing buttons!
If anyone can help me out here so I can carry on using the old girl!!
Cheers..
Have a look on my sig link, there is the service manual on hot to dismantle the Uni
Good luck!

Hello Orb, I have this PDF manual which I have used many times but what I want to know is what parts on the motherboard do I need to remove so I can get a radio signal from my spare uni as its blocked/Blacklisted. I presume its a chip of some sort? Where is it and what does it look like?? I can then make a good uni out of the two of them!
Oh! I get it, perhaps you can ask enigma1 as she is an expert on this matters
Haven´t seen her in long time
Good luck!

Yes I remember enigma1 she was a very handy chick! I think she was around a few months ago?
Yep, try PM her, hope you fins your way soon!
Have you tried contacting your operator? I accidentally bought a blocked HTC from eBay, and after contacting Orange to see what was going on, they unblocked it with no fuss.

Hello Jonny, Yeah I contacted O2 and they wasn't very happy that I had a blacklisted phone! I told them I bought it off Ebay but they had no intention of unblocking it for me so I didn't stay on the line long!

Let us know how all goes and good luck!
Right have have sent a message and received a reply so I am going to copy and paste it here, Hope she doesn't mind!?
Hi, I had a quick read through the problem you have. I am not sure how the broken off earphone socket affects the main speakers or internal speaker altogether, there has to be some other underlying problem to stop the sound all at once.
Unfortunately, the only suggestion I can make involves soldering of the broken off socket/replacement of one with another socket. The entire board of the new Uni you purchased is of no use to you due to being blocked, however, I had some evidence that being blocked on one network will not necessarily mean being blocked on all, therefore you can always try it with another network's SIM. Of course you can take both apart and swap housing and LCD to make it into 1 device, the suggestion Orb3000 made is a sound one with regards to seeing the disassembly procedure, alternatively there is a HTC Universal Service Manual floating on the net that you can search for and download, it is very detailed and will lead you every step of the way.
ALTERNATIVELY, you can always try using your semi-broken Uni with bluetooth headset to make calls and listen to the music.... Even with mono bluetooth headset and Pocket Player you can do anything you want, from calls to MP3s and Voice Command - Pocket Player has an option of sending your music over the bluetooth.
My uni seems to have the sound back so hopefully it will stay on!
Glad to know that
Long live to Uni!!!!
