Hi,
Where can I get spare parts for the Wizard/ MDA Vario?
Specifically a new battery cover. I have dropped my phone and the tabs have bust off the cover.
Tried the net, can't find anything.
HELP!!!!
Cheers,
Steve.
Buy a dummy !!!
Hi,
My solution to a similar problem was to purchase a dummy wizard in ebay.
The battery cover is fixed with tape. You can extract it easily with a knife without damaging it.

htc-europe and htc-america sell spare parts. use the contact option on either website. i bought a cover for gbp 10
Well, I tried HTC UK and they told me they can't sell parts to me as my phone is badged and supplied with T-Mobile, so I have to go to them for parts.
Tried T-mobile who said it wasn't down to them as I took the contract out through an Internet company called Mobile Fun, and to try them for the parts.
Rang Mobile Fun and after being on the phone listening to crap music for 15 mins(!) in a supposed queue, they advise me to try Ebay!!!!!!
So does anyone else have any ideas or could someone who is allowed to buy parts from HTC get me one, and I will reimburse their costs and postage??
Thanks,
Steve.

What should I do, and it needs doing in the next couple of days, as I cannot now charge or sync my mobile anymore.
The problem is that the white plastic bit that was holding the pins in the usb socket of my mobile (O2 XDA Exec or the HTC Universal s the original manufacturer (HTC) call it) has cracked, perished and come away completely.
I have managed to still carefully use the pins, just for charging the battery.
today one of the pins have got bent (extreme right looking face onto the socket, mobile correct way up), and in my attempt to rescue it, it has come off completely.
It now wont charge.
I can post pics if necessary.
I have had the mobile over it's 12 month contract on O2, which ended in March 2007. I have since changed to T-Mobile PAYG with Web'n'Walk (max £1 per day for web).
Today, I managed to phone HTC customer services (the original equipment manufacturer), and the guy gave me the number for their Europe repair center.
Phoned the repair center, and gave the IMEI number, and was told it was an arabic mobile.
I explained the situation, and was referred to the O2 repair center.
I then phoned the O2 repair center up, and they couldn't help me as i'm no longer an O2 customer.
Any suggestions as to what I do now?
Look like you need to learn to solder those pins.
I can solder stuff, but it's a harder job doing the smaller pins.
The work around is to get this which I have found:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/11277.htm
so I just take the battery out each time I charge it.
remove the memory card to move/copy files to/from it etc. and then put back in the mobile.
That will keep me going until I get a new device (htc Touch perhaps?)
Even if it is Arabic Mobile, the HTC Europe should fix it. As we are talking about out of warranty, they should fix it for a fee. I mean it is their product and you are not caliming any warranty but are willing to pay for the repairs (right?!?) so they should fix it. For a fee.
Think I'm getting a dash, wing, or another mda?
My mda randomly powers off and freezes on occasion when sliding the keyboard out. in some cases it just randomly crashes, and occurs on multiple roms. So I called, and they were happy to ship me a new handset.
The lady didn't say, however, which I'd be getting. I did ask if they still had mda's, and she answered yes (tho she noted retail stores no longer carried them), however I didn't get a chance to ask her if there was a way to get a wing(although probably unscrupulous).
Anyways, when I get the new mda, I might just put it in the retail box with all the accessories from the old one and just sell it on ebay and buy a wing. After spending an hour with one, they just seem to be a better built machine.
What's a wing? Who makes it?
sometimes..
oh i tried that.. tmobile wont replace an mda with a wing.. they're just going to send u another mda.. so did u get ur mda??
hey is it just me or do the head sets for the MDA suck?? cause ive been thru 3 of them already..
My dopod 838pro has this no gsm problem more than two months. I see there is no solution apart from sending it for repair. I'm from Brunei and there is just no expertise here to deal with the problem. Can anyone give me an or name me a shop where I can get my dopod fixed ? Brunei is neighbour to Singapore,Malaysia and Indonesia. Heck I'd even send this to UK if it's the only place I could get it repaired. Please help. Thanks
My Hermes device too, No GSM. I'm wondering is there anyone in XDA-Dev would be able to help this out?
Cheapest thing to do is buy another Hermes off ebay. Either swap Mainboards or better yet, get a fully functioning one. Would be cheaper than getting fixed as they just replace the mainboard, Most places will just try to get you to upgrade.
Could also be the antenna's bung too. At least if you get a spare you have spare parts...
Cheers...
Mods - please do not erase this thread as I noticed before some of the members were interested in buying this phone but no one was selling it.
I am not affiliated with any websites of suspicious nature - I am just selling my own T-Mobile MDA (US Residents only).
My wife got me the new phone for my birthday so you have the chance to get one great T-Mobile MDA. The phone is in very very very good condition. It was never dropped; never abused; does have screen protector from the day one; non damage on the phone screen at all; keyboard is NOT loose at all - when you open it it still "clicks" like on the day one when I first bought it from T-Mobile. I was very gentle with this phone - took very good care of it ...
However it is not brand new - there is one small 1/4" scratch on the top left corner on the back of the phone (I put my keys and the phone in the same pocket and it got scratched). The scratch is not obvious and noticeable unless you look for it. Besides this scratch - you may notice on the picture "T-Mobile" branding almost went away during the 2 year period. There is only "T" - no "-" and "mobile". It was not scratched away and the phone is NOT damaged on this spot.
It is T-Mobile SIM-locked and I believe it CAN be un-locked. I do not know how to do that, so the phone is T-Mobile SIM-locked.
Being SIM-Locked you can guess that the phone is CID locked as well. However, I do not see this as a problem since you will be able to play with it and set this phone up as you wish and the way you like it.
Phone comes with:
- 1x pqi 2GB miniSD card (miniSD card adapter included)
- 1xLeather case (after market clip-on case - paid about 15-20$ excellent quality)
- Manual Guide and Microsoft WM5 CD;
- 1x stylus pen (in MDA)
- 1x Brand New USB Sync cable
- 1x AC/DC Charger
- 1x Brand New Ear-phones (2.5mm)
- 1x used (original) battery that came with MDA; used for two years; still works with no problems;
- 1x Brand NEW battery - if you prefer to have it replaced; and
- FREE 108MBps Desktop PCI WiFi Card (no driver CD included)
Transaction requires PAYPAL account with confirmed address.
I have not completed Hard Reset since device works flawless. The phone is updated with the latest ROM from T-Mobile. There are following programs installed:
- Total Commander;
- Call Firewall;
- HTC Home plug-in;
- HTC Dialer skin;
- Lode Runner 1.0 game;
- Softkey;
- PointUI;
- and some more...
Please contact me on my e-mail address: [email protected] to negotiate the price and to give you my paypal e-mail address if we agree to go with the transaction. Price I would give it up for is $150. This price does not include shipping ($15 - two day priority or $10 regular usps) and insurance ($3). Total would be $165-170.
The item is listed on eBay as well and I will go by first come first serve basis.
Thank You!
PS Mods thank you for your understanding
Is anyone interested?
There has to be someone interested?
Its too much men!!!
Where are you from?
Many people said thta HTC TyTN is near 100 dlls
Thats why nobodys insterested...
and this needs to be moved to the accesories thread.
Right now I have a T-Mobile dash, known as HTC Excalibur. I do llike the phone, however I have had it for three years and I just found out that the USB port on the phone looses contact and makes the phone difficult to charge.
I want to get another HTC smartphone running Windows Mobile, with Querty Keyboard. The phone must be able to sync to ms Outlook, and read/edit ms Word & Excel files. Also the phone MUST run off a SIM card.
I was looking around and I can get HTC Wizard for $140 on ebay. Is the wizard a good phone or should I look elsewhere? I dont want to spend more than $150...
The Wizard seems like a good deal for $140 new... Here is the link to the ebay auction; LINK --> http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HTC-MDA-UNL...UFI%2BIIUM%2BP%2BUA%2BUCI&otn=11&po=LVI&ps=54
I am also in the same situation, I was offered a Wizard for US$80 2nd hand but in perfect order with no scratches (from a standard fone user, not a gadgt-freak ).
I asked here if it was a good deal, i had to hurry.. so I bought it anyway.
I would buy this phone for sure, I think it is very cheap for a new phone.
oops, wrote that twice.. sorry
