Looking for broken Hermes to buy

Hi all
Do you know places where I can find broken Hermes ?
I have to try to replace some pieces but thinking about it ; it may be better and less expensive for me to use some old broken phone ??
Nothing like that on ebay ; in fact I don't know if such a website exist so if you have some hints or if you were going to garbage your old one...
Happy New Year for ya all.

I have a herm200 thats fried out. What components are you looking for? I may be able to help. PM me if your interested.

I also have some spares, I made my Hermes out of 3 broken phones!!
let us know what you need.. sure someone will have it...
Cheers
Steve

I really need a mainboard for the Hermes if any one has one

Anyone got a herm100 housing in good nick?

I would like an HERM200 Mainboard as well. Mine still works, but there's a short circuit in it because of water damage which not only drains the battery but also disables the rear speaker
I don't care what version of the HERM200 it is, as long as it fits and works in the TyTN casing!

Southeastblue. I have a herm200 housing set thats in pretty good condition. I don't know if that helps considering you said a herm100.

Replace Housing / Casing of the Touch HD - Any experience or instructions available?

Hi there,
unfortunately I dropped my Toch HD last weekend on rough ground, the housing ist completely scratched at the corners and looks awful. The lucky part is that technically it still works perfectly and the display/screen is not damaged.
So, I'd like to replace the housing and I've already found some replacement parts on the net (e.g. here for USD 80... i know, quite expensive but for me it's worth it, cheaper offers always welcome though).
The real problem is that I couldn't find any instructions to do it and no hints whether any special tools are necessary. The forum search only delivered rare information. With a proper instruction I would dare to do it myself, but without I'm afraid to damage the device.
So has anybody got a detailed instruction or experience changing the housing?
would be grat,
thanks in advance,
regards jan

Isn't this what you are looking for?

And congratulations for not damaging the screen, because this is what happened to me (see the attachment), and amazingly everything works .

Thank You, exactly what I was looking for...
...however, it looks much more complicated than I expected... have to toke some time to analyze the instruction for which steps are necessary for changing the casing only without complete disassembly... not sure yet if I should dare it...
but, anyway, thank you again!
regards jan
P.S.1: has anybody tried it yet and have some experience to share?
P.S.2: I'm not sure about the "plastic stick" shown in the disassembly part... whether it's really just a flat and bit flexible plastic stick or if itr has any special tip...

try, it's easy
I did it on a P3600 and it was not so difficult, just take your time (at least one hour).
Read everything carrefully before starting, prepare tools and clean your hands

I also dropped my touch hd and dented the front bezel. I have bought a complete replacement housing and tools required for only £25 on ebay.
I have read the service manual and it doesn't deal with removing the lcd screen from the bezel. I read somewhere that it is a complete unit and you can't detach it easily
The new case is still in its box until I can find more out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Yup it isn't as easy as it looks. The manual lacks details as it only tells you how and where but did not elaborate more on minor yet important details.
I bought an antenna cover from ebay to replace, and boy, removing the cover was not easy at all. I used to take apart my other phones all the time and HD is the most difficult one I've done. I ended up breaking the small plastic sockets (that clicks the cover firmly into place) of the original cover. Luckily I have a new one to fit back in. Originally I wanted to replace the whole housing myself but I stopped after the antenna cover until I get a video of how its done.
So anyone? Kindly? Any videos please? XD

still no videos out there?
not looking good for us as i still can't find any video tutorials out there so im assuming that its super hard to do
please can anyone assist?

Replace Housing

Hi,
maybe some of you can give me some tips.
I would like to exchange the housing (due to cracks everywhere). I also got a replacement housing.
I just tried to open the housing. I was able to detach the back cover, but was not able to remove the front cover as the screen seems to be fixed to the "touch screen" part of the front cover.
Can some body help me finding instructions how to change the cover of the device?
Thanks a lot.
Dirk

sorry i have no experience, but this will help you to take it apart. good luck

Thanks a lot, that helps so far. I will start destroying my Treo ;-)

haha, well be careful. one bad move and its time for a new phone/case
glad i could help someone out on a forum that helps me so much =]

[Q] Replace LCD display on Legend??

After 1 week of using my new HTC legend I managed to get a crack in the LCD.
Do anyone know how to fit a new LCD on to the Legend? Like a step by step guide. Searched the internet like mad but cant find any more information than how to take the body out of the housing. Where do I go from there? Im quite technical minded, so im happy to do it myself, but just need a bit more info before I start bending and screwing
Any help is most appreciated!!!
cheeerioooo

hey ?? help me , my xda is opened since 2 days.... in my table , waiting for XDA developers to help me

Can you put some glue into the thread so there is something 'solid' to screw into?
Otherwise it may be buying another housing. One of the cheapest ways could be by buying a broken Uni (eg broken screen) off ebay with that has a case which is in good condition.
