Spares for the Athena, anywhere?

Can anyone lead me to where to find a spare enclosure (not an external case).
The one that holds the whole thing together. Ok I need some help here to find the right term
My Athena fallen and I now got a bent Athena. An art piece I'm sure, but rather have it back to its shape, you know?!
So does anyone know where to find spares?

why dont you take a picture so we could see what exactly you need

Will need to find a mirror as it is the only camera I have
Anyhow I just find what it is. Is the SHELL. The black aluminum shell.
Is anywhere to be found it as a spare?
Thank you

Thank you.
I ordered the spare casing. Will post how it goes....

Sorted!!
I have received the casing, followed instructions and I now have a bright new Athena
The only bad thing is that the camera button and the volume sliders are missing from the replacing casing. and the camera button is a nightmare to take it over from the old one.
If anyone needs assistance with replacing the casing, just PM and I'll do my best to help.

So which did you get in the end, the brando one?
I'm contemplating doing mine at some point, it's pretty scarred.

I did go for the brando and it took about a week to receive it in Scotland.
The instructions are quite easy to follow, but the tools are a must, specially the flat tool to push the parts open. I got mine here when I repaired my powerMAC a few weeks ago.

does someone know where to get a new digitizer? my one is broken (the LCD itself is still fine) and I ordered this one. But they refunded me my money and said they are out of stock
Any suggestions?

Try the brando website.
It looks like they have a lot of spare parts...
If you can't find it, try to contact them, I got a few parts not listed this way.
Good luck

You can try here
http://www.gpsmidlands.co.uk/index.php?category=Pda Digitisers
but this is £90 of her majesty money
the one in your ebay link for £19 is unbelievable, are they for real?
Regards

they said they are out of stock but they promised to contact me if they get some "digitizer-only"
currently they only have full LCD screens for £150
as far as I can see the dealer seems to be realiable...

LCD screen broken. Buy a new LCD?

Hi:
This is my first post. Fisrt of all sorry for my english (I don´t use it a long time ago...).
I´ve been reading for a long time this forum. Thanks everybody for all posts and software.
I have had a P3600 for one year. Two weeks ago I bought a new case, but i made a mistake when i tried to change it: the conexion between LCD and Mother Board wass broken.
I´m very happy with machine, and I want buy a new LCD Screen.
There are a web where I believe I can buy one:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600dopod-d810-screen-p-1734.html
Someone knows if this LCD Screen is ok for our machines?.
Thanks a lot again.
Rewards.

search on xda devs about "LCD G1" "LCD 56" screens and check on yours which one you have ! in think the way you can tell is where the window on the back of the screen is located!
you can also buy em on ebay, dont now about the difference in quality!
i got mine off ebay works fine! not as good as the original tho

thamks a lot!!!:
I´ll search on forum and I´ll search on ebay aswell.

Hi:
I´ve been searching by forum and by ebay. I´ve found three products, but i don´t know which is the correct:

I had broken the connector between Mother Board and LCD. What product should I buy?.
Thanks and rewards

the first two links are just touch screen sensors( digitiser) the last link you posted is the actual screen and the digitiser together.
like i said before you need to check which version screen you currently have !
the third link you posted has the info you need to check!

thank you, idristo:
I´ve read the third post and i´ve checked my lcd scrren. I have a G1. So, i´ve bougth the complete scrren (is cheaper than 56...).
Thank you for your answers.

You might want to check out RepairsUniverse.com they have all the parts for both the 1st gen and the 2nd generation.
They sorted me out, and provided fitting instructions also. Took me 30minutes or so to install but def worth it!!

[FIXED] Broken Screen - Advice Needed (ID)

Hi,
I got my Kaiser Screen broken. The phone still functioning, even touch still working/responding. There're cracks & part of LCD darkened & I worry it might get worse by time/use.
Question:
HTC no longer sell devices in my country. What is the reasonable price + shipping? Any reputable seller that ships to my country & payment method?
Thanks for tips.
Edit:
Got the screen replaced & working perfectly!
Use the 4 screw method, without opening the base, took me 20 mins only
Thanks to Mike Channon, Erwinpiero & many others that fixed themselves & posted on this forum!

Well i'd say eBay is your best bet and I wouldn't pay more than £30 (450,000rupiah) delivered for one. Plenty of people selling them from China, just make sure it has a digitiser, and it's the right model. Oh and pay by something secure like Paypal so you have something to fall back on incase its a bad sale.

I think that's reasonable approach, but I'm looking if any member have dealt with particular dealer that delivers .. something that minimize the risk (at least, it's the right item and got delivered). Yes, we can fall back, but I don't think the process is easy, and especially Pay Pal in ID has no legal vehicle, the site refers to SG. That's the reason I try not going blindly if there're any referrals.
In any case, I'll look around, and update when the screen is fixed ..

Useful links
To anyone looking for info, here're good ones (apart from Mike Channon's site)

(using this method, was what I did, and changed the screen in 20 mins)
And I learnt a lot from our own forum here:

Good luck to everyone.

I haven't replaced a screen on my xda stellar yet but i did have to replace one on my xda 2.
I purchased mine of ebay at a store. e-shop I believe it was called. I would recommend that you dismantle the phone first. There were 2 screens available for my xda 2 and the only way to see which one i needed was to see the connectors on the back of the screen. It may be the same case for the tytn 2.
Also make sure you are purchasing a screen with the digitiser attached. It is possible to replace the touchscreen part but believe me it's not worth the hassle.
Good luck

Thank you very much! Unlike TyTn / Dopod 838Pro, Kaiser screen is luckily pretty standard. The replacement was easy as I got the one complete set (screen & digitizer).
It's now fixed & working well.

That's great news!! I just came on to point you towards the service manual for disassembly (google htc kaiser service manual for anyone else who is interested).
I'm considering replacing the external housing of my stellar, it has seen better days! Having seen the procedure to take the pda apart i'm having second thoughts. Glad you found it easy to replace the screen it looks far worse than what i went through with my xda 2

DEAR
Please guide me to the "the 4 screw method, without opening the base" becuse i have a broken lcd and anew lcd from ebay (25$) and the tools, so everything is ready for action!!!
any instructions, photos, details, pic...etc. would be highly apreciated.
but I need an easy method to do that without dismantling the base and remove the "void" label.
Many thanks in advance

Replacement touch screen and case?

Just found this while looking for a replacement for my touch screen on my Vogue. I've replaced my digitizer before but I've never replaced the whole case. Has anyone done this? Looks like a way to really make my Vogue new again. I might just buy it and try it out. Its $20 so no huge loss, eh? BTW, I'm in no way affiliated with the ebay seller. Just found it after a brief search.

If you decide to go that route the Elf Service Manual might be of some help.

That's good to know that exists. I've taken my Vogue apart several times before to the replace just the digitizer but never gone past that which I'll need to do in order to replace everything. The idea of a brand new feeling phone sure seems nice. And this time I'm putting on a screen protector.

Xperia X10 Disassembly Video

I know there is the written guide already, but I'm those type of people that likes to have a video of these type of thing, so I figured I'd make one.
I looked at the written guide and it goes a step further than my video, I pretty much stop when I reach the camera. If you still need the written guide, here you go:

Hey Guys,
Added another video with further disassembly instruction to the first post. In case anyone needs help taking out the LCD and digitizer.
Hope it helps!
take care

Digitizer
So, I cracked the glass on the housing of my X10 and was taking it apart to see if the LCD was okay. In the process of doing this i got to the fron housing/digitizer and from the guide that I read the digitizer is glued/double sided taped to the fron housing glass...anyway the guide said to heat the glass/digitizer to make removing it easier (so you dont have to buy another one) and while i was peeling it off, I ripped the ribbon cable for the digitizer. Now, I am looking on eBay for a white housing and black digitizer but a few of these auctions have a lens that is black with the white housing which is a little confusing to me now. So is the digitizer clear and on the back of this so called lens or what?
White Housing w/Black Lens
Black Digitizer
White Digitizer
So you think the digitizer is glued to the "lens" and nobody really goes through the trouble to remove them and just resell them as a black/white digitizer or is there a digitizer that you can just buy that would be clear or something that you would glue to the lens...

There is a warranty stamp? I dismantled mine at one point and they took it back... the only thing the look for is the water damaged sticker

yeah there is definitely no warranty stamp, and even if it did, once your warranty is over, it would be much cheaper just to buy the part and fix it yourself rather than pay someone to repair it.

now i can change my scratch screen thnkz
