Im looking for a new 8525 housing. I have checked cnn.cn but it looks like they only have the TyTn housing which will not work with the keypad of the 8525.
Anyone know where I could find this?

I can't see it on cnn.cn either, but it may be worth contacting them because on another post I see this: (slow loading give it a couple of goes it links in the end):

Does anybody know where you can get a new faceplate for the Wizard 100 series? (Cingular / Dopod styling).
Also, how does the old one come off, with just loosening the two small torq screws on the back of the slider?
Thanks!

No idea where you'll get one from, but there's more holding them together than just those 2 screws.....
check the wiki for magician diss-assembling methods - they're likely to be similar, but in brief you'll need to prise the aeriel cover off, remoce 2 screws there and void warranty seal, remove the 2 screws you can see, then lever the casing away from the chassis.

I recall reading a thread either here or on howardforums about someone who found a source for the stylus. When I went to the site the poster provided, I found that they provide just about every part for HTC phones. I think there may have been a minimum quantity that must be ordered, but haven't verified. Do a search on "stylus" or "found stylus" or similar here and at HoFo and see if you can find the thread.
Thanks Summiter! Do you remember how old the post was? I have been searching with no success
This evening i cracked my mda vario 2 screen. what is the best solution?
-buy a 2nd hand tytn
-bring back for repair (warranyt?)
or
can i replace this screen with the one from a MDA vario 1 does anybody know if thats the same
or i need to find a brick vario2 (does anyone in the netherlands have one?)
what do you think?
I'd go for warranty option.
Someone tried the wizard screen and though it fits it is not quite the same see this thread:

Yep, those ebay pics look the same as the ones (some anyway) as the ones on the first post of the thread I gave above.
It can be tricky, but crtainly not impossible with a little skill to change the screen. for dismantling see the following link and also the wiki under Hermes Hardware overview pictures.

Just a simple question:
Are both phones the same? Do they use the same stylus pen? Do they use the exact same motherboard, screen, connectors and etc? The only difference is the case and keyboard shape?
Thanks in advance!
Both devices are HTC WIZARD 200. They have a different housing face plate and keypad. Therefore also the shape of the stylus might vary - I am not sure! I am using the MDA version which looks better on the front in my opinion. Allthrough I think the keyboard looks better on the 8125 ...
Anything else is the same in the devices.
A friend of mine is sending me a dead MDA and I'd like to know if I buy a Cingular 8125 with a broken screen, will I be able to use the motherboard from the MDA or the screen from the 8125 to get a fully functional unit?

I wouldn't buy a 8125 with a broken screen in first place! Research this forum for the SERVICE MANUAL of the HTC WIZARD! After seeing how to take it appart you might be able to imagine that too much can go wrong! The screen and the keyboard are the last things you can access! You open the device on the back and have to work all way down piece by piece until there ...
I saw broken screen WIZARDs on eBay for $150.00 - compared to that you can find working dev ices for $200.00 w/o contract.
Yeah I saw the service manual and got scared too, but I can give it a try I think, if I find a broken device for less than $150
Hello all
I require some input from some of the gurus of xda-devs and its a question im guessing a lot people would like to know the answer to
Can we swap spare parts from say a Cingular 8525 to a MDA Vario II? (Herm200 --> Herm300)
what i mean to say is, lets say we could only find a front keypad for a cingular 8525, would it fit into the vario II?of course the orientation of keys would be correct for the cingular and not for the vario so you'd need a new front keypad aswell, but on the 'technical' level, is this possible?
many thanks
Don't quote me on this BUT I believe I read a post from Mike Channon saying that internally ALL the Hermes variants were the same. Be best to search through his threads, website or ask the maestro himself...
Cheers...
Yes that's probably about 99% true, BUT I notice the d/pad layout on some variants is quite different and so the underlying board may well be different - have not had time to fully check this.
Mike
Thanks for clearing that up Mike, as I said I wasn't totally sure...
Cheers...
many thanks
so mike, my theoretical scenario, would it work?
if i was to get a cingular 8525 d-pad board and a 8525 keypad to go over it, technically it ought to work right?

I tried to check that out and did not find much info. BUT I see no reason for it not to work circuit wise. You might need to remap keys.
Have you checked that the 8525 keypad will fit the housing you have?
Mike
id happily modify the housing as a temporary thing, but i reckon i'll give it a shot and report back. i have a hunch it will fix the white screen issue.
does anyone know of anyone who has a brick they'd like to sell?!
Ebay is good, bought a couple of dud jasjams off there to fix mine and wouldn't you know it, one actually worked except for the camera & battery. Ended up cannobilizing MY Jasjam to fix up the "broken" one I purchased for parts....
Cheers...
