Hey guys,
I had recently taken my 8525 / hermes apart to fix the white screen problem.
As I had fixed the problem, the magnet that triggers landscape mode, had came unglued from wherever it was.
I had contacted HTC and tech support, but they are unable to tell me where this small rectangular magnet goes.
Does anyone have a clue or a parts repair Hermes / 8525 that they can help me with.
I need to get this fixed.
I appreciate anyones help.
Just getting a couple of pics for you please wait

Landscape magnet
You are a lifesaver.
I really appreciate it.
just wondering, how did you solve the white screen problem?
i had it months ago but i got a replacement under warranty...luckily
Landscape magnet
The problem occurs when the ribbon cable becomes loose.
All you have to do is take the unit apart and reseat the cable.
I've taken mine apart soo many times lately, its and easy process if it happens again.

My display is progressively showing a mostly white, "washed out" display. It goes from completely normal to the washed out screen you can see in the attached pictures. (two "washed out" screens, followed by two normal) It happens much more frequently in portrait mode. When it first started happening, if I would open the keyboard just a little bit, the "white" would go away and the display would be nice and bright like it should be. At the time, it made me suspect the flex cable, so I disassembled the Hermes and made sure all connections are tight. That did not fix it and it is getting worse. Applying pressure to certain parts of the outside of the device can sometimes cause this to happen, other times it's completely random. Can anyone confirm if it is the LCD or flex cable? I don't mind replacing a part if I can be sure of the problem, but I don't want to waste my time and money if I can't be SURE it will fix the problem.
NO, I can not send it back to AT&T for warranty repair.

My phone got wet, so I stripped it down and dried it out. Put it all back together and it's been working fine apart from the keyboard now does nothing when I slide it out - screen doesn't go into landscape and the keys don't do anything.
Does anyone understand how the keyboard slide talks to the phone, ie how can I troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks

Sounds like the keyboard connector is loose. And of course the sliding mechanism magnet switch is connected through the keyboard multicable. So the two things are related.
The Source of your problem I think:

Just inside the back casing, so no major dismantling needed.
Just for info:

this has happened over 5 months ago my screen had turned white with a bunch of straight lines coming down from the screen, this was after i was trying to update my phone and in which i had not tampered with it when it was updating. I've tried to mess with it when i took it apart to see if i could fix it, and after a few hours i got sick of it and just junked it somewhere in my room. Now that i have read the possible fix's for the screen, what i found out is that once i disconnect the connector to the buttons at the bottom the screen would just become white instead of the color strands on it. I've even tried to re-update it but the same problem still persist. If anyone has any idea how i can fix this problem that would be great.

Thank You For Reading My Problem
Steve
no one has any solution for this problem ?
can anyone help me please ? or has anyone had this problem.
Looks like Lcd flex cable may be loose. You'll have to pretty much dismantle your Hermes and see. Go to this site for HTC manual - http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/
You should also PM Mike Channon if you really need help or advice as he is the Hardware specialist.
Cheers...
thank you for the help and the support bro.

Well nothing very obvious. It's just a switch. Of course being internal the magnet idea works well. If you wanted to be very crude I guess you could fit a micro switch somewhere.
Why not hunt down some of the screen orientation software programmes?
Don't think you said what country you are in, but maybe someone here has a spare part or a part for sale they could send you. I have seen a few posts with folk parting out broken Hermes.
Mike
Tnx, for ansver...

I found in one store "Hall magnetic sensor".....does he will be work with my phone?

i'm not sure how this started, most likely a drop, but occasionally a spring will appear underneath my screen, and sliding becomes difficult. it seems i can get the spring back in place by putting downward pressure on the screen when sliding, but this only works for so long. i cant imagine the slide portion is difficult to remove, but does anyone have any advice on this issue? thanks.

That is one of the springs that hold the keyboard open, don't try to pull it out. With the slide open you should see the 2 springs on the backside of the screen. To take it apart you need to go in through the battery compartment. There is about 3 levels to get thhrough before you get to the screen. About 10 months ago I replaced the screen, I found avideo walk through on youtube that helps.

good luck with that man...let me know how it goes!
you should be a protective case to prevent things like that happening
thanks guys. i havent actually done anything with this yet. a couple days ago that spring just fell out, and nothing at all seems to be different. i saved the spring in case i feel like putting it back in, in which case ill post on it.
