Ummm, I believe he's referring to the long flexible cable on the left side, indicated with the green arrows.
yup! I found it easier to disconnect the red marked connector, than puzzling on the green one.
Do you also have the audio problem???
i'm trying replacing front cover.....
can u explain me how to unclip that connector?
have i to raise it? or pull to the right?
help help :roll:
dood im trying ot figure something out similar to this. i followed that guide to replace my housing, which i think is what ur trying to do. u do have to move the black lock on the left side, lower part, and remove the ribbon connector. i did that, well i pulled the black lock OFF, it says in the tutorial to like flip it up, but i didnt see how that was possible. anyways after i took it off, i cant put teh damn thing back on? its like i have to slide it into all those mini gold pins. i think when i was trying to put the ribbon connector back in i bent a few, so when when i try to turn my fone on, i get a buncha random colors.AHH someone help??
i ve changed and replaced all
so, when u have to remove lcd, is better remove pad connector, the red circled one
don't touch lcd connector!!!
then to remove lcd we have to force a clip on the right.
on the left there is a removable clip, that fixs lcd to cover...
u can try to remove this one first, raising it
but be carefull....!!!

Hi!
Can anyone help me with recommendations how to remove back cover from my XDA I? I tryed to do that, but unsuccessfully . I don't want to damage this device, so I decidied to ask some advice.
Xda I case open
Just use a slot screwdriver for the top two slot screws. Then T6 for bottom two. Then unit held screen face-down ; use a plastic lolly stick with sharpend flat edge to work between front and back case. It`s best to start at the bottom right edge, near the hard reset hole.
Using a downward push action, plus, practice the case should just pop apart. Work the stick around the bottom, forcefully. Things should just workout o.k. from there.
Remove the void sticker from screw using tweezers. With care it will remain in tact, and can be replaced.
Remember to be forcefull
anyone have some more details to get into the xda ( i amtrying to replace the LCD) pictures/instructions what ever i can get will be greatly appreciated
I used a T6 torx for the bottom screws and a standard flat blade for the top, remove stylus. If you have finger nails, force your thumb nail along the groove starting near the reset hole, this will pop the tabs, you can then slide your thumb nail all the way around and remove the back. You will then need to remove 2 very small crosshead screws, one at bottom left and the ither at the top offset to the right, this is under a label "warranty void". The flat cables can be removed by bringing forward with a tiny flat screw driver, the retaining tabs, on the small ones try to bring the tabs forward towards the cable, at the same time, once you do one you will get the idea. The larger flat connecter needs the 2 retainers at the sides to be moved slightly to the sides to release the flat cable. Once this is done it is very obvious how to get the rest out. Seperating the screen from the digitizer is not so easy but it will seperate if you are diligent and careful but firm.

if anyone has more comments plz feel free to add the more the merrier and the chances of a screw up are reduced.
i will also try take pictures along the way so that someone else gains.
Broken XDA
Hi all,
can anyone help me fix my xda. A couple of weeks ago a bit of the headphone plug broke inside the connector. In an attempt to clear it I opened up the XDA. But now it doesn't power on after I've replaced the cover.
Any pointers would be much appreciated
Before you open your phone you should push the unscrewed top half of the stylus in the hole bottom right of your xda, this disconnects the battery, you need to check the flat shiny connecters on the edge of the board make sure thay havent been pulled out, the power from batter is on 2 contact pads inside rear of case so I dont think that is the problem. You could try using the stylus as mentioned as it may need switching back on.
i jus changed the housing on my xda mini now it starts but nothing is on the screen, i hear the sound and bottons light up... ive check connector is in firmly however ive accidently broken the connector lock, does it need the lock in place for it to work...
if not what else can i try
also my flashing status light isnt fashing although fone is on (screen still not on) i get a white flash now and then on screen... and sometimes weird back lines..?
helo????
anyone here?
It is important that the flat cable has a good contact with the connector. I also broke the lock but placed a thin rigid plastic to keep the flat cable pressed down and then some tape on top to keep it in place.
nah didnt fix it, ah well another door stop..
the ribbon myt b broken....i think u'll need to replace display and da touchscreen too
try looking at ribbon cable carefully !

Extra piece....jk, I have no idea lol.
Don't know what it's called but it goes on a square bumped out piece of metal near the antenna plug and vibrate thing on the top of the mainboard.
Same thing happen to me..
Looked like it's some sort of a "Mic Rubber Cap" which would help the device to easily acquire the noise that has been transmitted to the mic. Have you noticed that small hole on the bottom of your phone right beside the USB rubber cap? That's where it should be located parallel to the motherboard. I suggest you dismanlte and put it back again...
Btw, are there any differences on the mic while that rubber is out? perhaps you should try calling someone to test it...

If there a teardown guide for the Wildfire? I'm planning on replacing the fascia to a black or white one
I googled it and I found the EVO and the Desire...
Thanks.

It's what I was thinking but I'm not too sure...
I just did a screen replacement on a German Wildfire today, I used a desire guide briefly - but it was pretty simple. 8 screws and 3 ribbons in total isn't to bad for a full teardown.
Here's the brief:
1) remove back battery cover
2) remove battery, MicroSD, and SIM
3) remove 4 corner star screws
4) remove 2 philips screws from right hand rail (sim card side)
5) Unclip bottom bracket and remove
6) Unclip plastic back from both side rails and remove
7) Remove 2 philips screws from bottom right and top left of breadboard
8) Disconnect haptic feedback ribbon from bottom left by lifting the black lever and sliding out the ribbon (very narrow ribbon)
9) Disconnect screen and touch screen ribbons on right hand edge by lifting them up (they're snap-ons)
10) Lift volume board up from between main bread board and volume button
11) remove breadboard from front housing
12) Peel back the bottom ribbon from the back of the screen (it's glued on with light adhesive)
13) Lift up bottom corner of screen and remove screen from front housing
in the end you should have these pieces:
Front housing
Screen
Bread Board
Back Housing
Bottom Plastic Clip
Back cover
2 Small philips Screws (breadboard)
2 large philips screws (back housing right hand edge)
4 large star screws (back housing corners)
Sorry, I literally just finished this an hour ago. Hope this helps.
i tear-down my wildfire like SophT. my big problem is now, to put the new digitizer in the phone. the old was glued and now i didn't have any idea to fix the new in the phone. have anyone an idea ?!
i think i destroyed the new display. on both sides of the new one were a protective sheet. i removed both, the phone works perfectly, but there is no possibility to use the touchscreen. There are no inputs possible. Have I destroyed with the removal of the film, the new display?

I'm okay with this and I think it's hilarious.
so weird question. but meh. im more of a 360 modder. not into phones.. i try to fix them bc im descent with electronics.
but anyways my point is.. anyone ever tried replacing the leds on the button panel?
white 0603s are typically the same as blue. i use alot in controllers and rol boards on the 360.
i got about 50 blue 0603s. and thinking of giving it a shot
Butoon leds are placed on FRONT KEY KEYBOARD MEMBRANE PCB. Search littlebit google and you find what leds they use on this membrane pcb.
Hint!
For getting out this membrane pcb you must detach middle case at lcd/digitizer combo. To attach these back you need two sided tape later.

lol. i got the phone disassembled lol. and they are 0603 smds. i use them alot. but idk the voltage of them. if the blue requires more voltage then the white is giving then they will barely burn or drain the battery quicker.
