Anyone know how? I've read the Wiki and searched online but cannot find a definitive way to take apart the Wizard without breaking it.. I've taken off all 6 screws and cannot find a way to separate the screen from the keyboard..
Basically the reason I am doing this is because the ear piece and the 2 LED's do not work and I want to see why.. I got the Wizard free and put wm6 on it and think its a cool device, worth tinkering with and want to try and fix it.
Nevermind.. I found the service manual..

I have an XDA MINI s and have searched high and low (including this forum) to find out how to dismantle my handset
Reason i want to dismantle it, my XDA fell on the bed, and now there is a white screen with a few colour stripes.
I think something maybe have become unconnected
this phone is so fragile and its s tupid problem to be honest.
Please let me know where I can find some sort of instructions so i can attempt to see if everything is fine inside
Thanks

The disassembly guided is available on the FTP and on this forum.. do a search and you'll find it.
It would have been nice to post a link
Because
1) I cannot see where the FTP area is
2) I have searched!!!
I have spent nearly 10 mintues but i dont know where to look
I am not familiar with the forum, although i mostly use the search facility for my queries, hence why my post count is low
Thanks
p.s ill continue to look now
DJ
Right i found the FTP section but there is nothing there under Wiizard
Anyone help ? As right now its being a paperweight on my desk
I dont want it to go to the bin

Photo-guide:

Top of page 2, has a photo-sequence. Make sure, when taking the camera cover off, that you do NOT pry it from the bottom. It will snap the tabs. Get something very thin, like a razorblade, and pry the sides up, then the top. After that, the pictures should suffice.
I would like to take the xda apart as i have a large dent on the faceplate probably from walking into something whilst in my pocket and i want to push the dent out or tidy it up as much as possible.
Searched everywhere for how to take the phone apart but no luck, found one but unfortunatly a dead link.
If anyway has instructions on how to dismantle i would be grateful!
Also while i'm doing this is there anyway to tighten the screen hinge it feels lose.
Thanks.
I think this is what you are after.

thankyou very much! exactly what i am looking for
sorry to hijack the thread, but this is vaguely on topic.
I have two faulty universals, both usable but neither is perfect. to make one fully functional universal + one that is only partially working, I need to swap the motherbord or the screens. which is the easier task: taking the two halves of the clamshell and swapping them or opening the bottom part and swapping just the motherboards?

Start doing one and see what happens, I have done it to an Alpine, although it's a lot easier to do it only took 20 minutes. To be honest I'd say replacing the motherboard would be easier, theres 4 easily accessible screws to open the case up.
Does anyone know how many speakers the Universal has in total? Two at the front and one or two for voice calls? ie, does it have one behind the d-pad which can be heard with the screen showing or closed or is the a "closed" speaker and an "open" speaker? On my XDA Exec, it only works in closed mode and I'd like to be sure it's a motherboard fault before swapping motherboards over
Sorry for bumping this thread but is the above manual available anywhere?
Sorry thought the FTP link was dead got it working!
im after this guide as well or any other links to taking apart the exec
the link in the second post in this thread is the only one you need.
can this link be posted up...i really need it urgently

hey i have the tobile MDA and i just wanted to know if anyone has any information about taking it apart because after a while ive gotten stuff in to the slider and i just wanna clean it a bit.. can anyone help me?
Google 'prodigy service manual', that should be what you're looking for.
Be very careful - I managed to snap the little lever that fits into the slider by not being careful when putting the motherboard back in. You might not have to remove yours, but bear it in mind.
wait wat little lever? cause theres this little peive sticking out of the top of my fone where it slides and its been bugging me thats part of the reason i want to take it apart
the manual is available in my signature
i also broke my volume slider taking it apart to do the stylus fix
really annoyed last night, stood up and as i did my wizard decided to eject itself from my pocket somehow and fall to the floor, as it did the stylus and sd card fell out...
tried to put the sd back in and it doesnt click in any more, have had a fiddle with some tweasers and cant see anything in there that looked like it snapped and there is a latch on one side that goes up and down but cant click it manually. Anyone else done this? is it terminal?
ive resorted to a big blob of blue-tak on the top of my phone to try and hold it in but its only about 75% effective.
Any help would be great
This problem and solution has been discussed and posted hundreds of times,just read or there's a tab at the top of every Forum 'Search',just use it,you'll prolly get many answers.
There was no need to start a new thread.
i should have expected such a response.
I DID SEARCH!
As you are such a fan of the search feature then im sure you'll know that if you search for anything more than one word it will bring up about 2000 posts related or not.
I'll go look through them all now.....
Simple answer ! if the holding latch is broken or come loose,it won't stay in,just wrape a little layer of adhesive tape around sdcard,but make sure connectors are not coverd and insert it,there's no other solution for it,less you replace the body or get it repaired,ok
Regarding me being a fan of search,thats why its put up there for !!! every senior member will advise it and we all use it.
thankyou that has worked.
i couldnt agree more, but the search doesnt always work and generic words liek sd card will bring up 1000s of useless posts
Thanz !
You are most welcome.
Ok, I have done some searching and I am still not sure of the answer to my question.
I have a HERM 100. I broke the screen on accident, but it was having the WSOD problem anyway. I still love the phone and I am trying to fix it.
First question is I have the screen with the P/N HTC60H00037-01M. I have looked several places on ebay, and the only ones I can find selling this exact screen are almost 2 times as expensive. Most if not all the others are saying this screen will work HTC60H00037-00M
Here are the links
The cheaper one with -00M on the end in one of the pictures.
The more expensive one with the EXACT same number as my screen in the pic.
Will the cheaper one work in my phone or is there a real difference between the two screens.
Oh, and does anyone know the best way to get a chip reflowed? I have been watching and reading the WSOD thread, and the only option that seems to fix the problem permanently. I am not able to do this myself I don't think, but if anyone has a surefire way to do this at home I am willing to listen, I just want my favorite phone back.

Well at least they are both made by Toppoly and that is the crucial thing because different manufacturers use different digitizer circuits:

NB - This link is for reference only it was written for another Hermes owner who had bought a Hitachi part.
So I think you should be ok with the cheaper one - but I wouldn't put a 100% guarantee on that. (My understanding is that it should be ok though).
Obviously buy from a company that has put in writing that it works ok - just in case a return is needed.
Regarding reflowing the chip. You can experiment with an oven (though I wouldn't like to guess the temp or length of time) - and remove the plastic layer from the keys side. To be honest though, I'd look for a part on ebay or a device being parted out here - because if you try the oven method, you'll probably need a new part anyway

Ok, I got the cheaper one, and put the phone together. I am having a small problem. I think it is related to the WSOD issue now. After replacing it I put the phone together and it was working but the screen was very white. There were colors and objects on it but they were very hard to see, you had to look from an angle. After charging it a while and working with it (and thinking I screwed up again) I got the screen to work with some pressure on the right side. I am thinking that is the connection for the screen that you almost bend backwards. I am going to re examine that, and look locally for someone who will reflow my chip. This must be the problem.
At first I was not sure but now I have finally gotten a few minutes of non WSOD use out of it, so indeed the cheaper one WILL work.
Again, thanks mike, you are the man. I am certain I can find a dunked 8525 that will allow me to get my WSOD issue fixed.
-to sum up, the cheaper screen WILL work! good times.
