hello.
i've left my wizzard on damp kitchentable for about half of an hour. when i've returned it was wet, still working but the camera light (flash/torch) was on and so it is now. there's probably water still there, but i ain't got idea how to fix it. please help ! thanx
sounds like you have short circuited something, try taking it apart and put it in a bowl of rice and leave for a few hours (use a sealable container and shake it up)or if you dont want to take it apart just take the bit that covers the camera off (it just clips off, so no unsrewing) refer to the service manual found on this forum somewhere. the rice should dry out and moisture still inside the phone. if that doesnt work i dont know ur buggerd
Hum... never heard about rice absorving capabilities!
guide
i hope i'll open it safely
and another thing is that i moved from uk and i want to get rid of this O2 crap from my phone coz it affects working in my home network. what i have to do?
go to start -> programs -> Install type. if you open up that program you should have 2 options, basic and corporate, choose corporate and enter the password : 0506. this should get rid of all the o2 rubbish and you should still have everthing
has the "magical" rice worked?
i haven't opened it yet coz of lack of tools but i thought that instead of rice one may use those small silicon balls which are in every box of shoes.
dean: thx 4 solution, the o2 crap is gone now, but still before windows starting o2 logo apearing, and there's another strange thing whitch i don't understand: on start bar where u got those tiny icons like phone signal strenght, battery life indicator etc. there is a triangle - is that stands for roaming ?? If yes - why, if no, what does it means, coz i don't have it described in phone's manual.
cheers !
I don't really know anything about that little triangle, it seemed to of popped up when I went abroad to spain so I guess it must have something to do with you being out of the UK? Also there will always be the o2 screen at startup because it is the o2 ROM that is being used but I don't think it will affect the device, if you desperatly needed to get rid of it then you should look around on the forums on how to upgrade but I don't recommend it
P.S: tools to take apart can be easy to find in a local DIY store (i think the screwdriver is a torx 5 or 6 I don't know just look on the web) I just robbed all mine from school
let me know how you get on with the flash problem

Hello There everybody....
I have been using htc tytn sn ht628 from the begining of the september and the sa probs started to occure after 2 week or so....it generelly occure when the device got hot due to recharge or using for some time and also when i try to clean the screen with a soft cloth....so i tried all the methods discribed here like flashing particular rom or keeping 20 mb free on phone!!! or loosing the two screw on the back of keyboard...but nothing helped me...the sa probs do get back again and again due to hotness or pressure on screen when cleaning the screen....
then i tried the business card method.....and removed the fomes that was glued with the screen and casing....but alas it lasted for some hours only....i have to do the same thing again and again...so finally i got frustated and sold my tytn to one of my friend...(i could not go for warrenty easily as i brought it from usa and i live in south asia..) and then i brought a dopod 828pro with serial sn ht639 3 weeks ago when i was returning from malaysia after a business visit....
but the sa probs get back to that new device too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just after 2 days...but i have left malaysia within that time so i am unable to claim for warrenty now....
from my frustation i had been almost decided to open the set completely and use the method described in two japanise site where they mentioned to remove the foam and use some small sized foam...but that also instied me as it will void the warrenty and im not that of expert on opening set so anything might happen...
so finally i decided to apply my own method (actually not my own method but the combination of all the existing method...) and walla... i got wonderfull success now i have two perfectly working hermes (tytn and dopod 838pro) which where used to have sa probs....now they dont show any sa probs even due to excessive hotness of 3-4 hour use and charging not even for hard pressure on screen due to cleaning or so...i am using both set extencievely (one me and one my friend) for more then 13 days now after fixing it and they are working like angel.....i was thinking to share the methods here as you all helped me on many things over long time...i waited those ten days to make sure everythings working ok and sa probs dont came back....and for 100% confarmation....
now here goes the steps that i used to fix the two set.....
1)open the two (2) small screw located on the back of the keyboard...
2)Use a hard and sharp business card (i used prepaid scratch card i got when i do refill my mobile) to clean the foam and loose the screen from the casing...you will see a noticiable empty space between screen and casing if all the foam is clean....you will be needed to do this step a number of time to make sure everything is clean...you actually need to do this thing in both side of the screen (left and right)
3)Now the actual thing that i used from my own thoughts...i cut two piece of that business card i used in step two (in my case the prepaid plastic scratch card which is thin and hard ) and pushed them in the empty space of both side of the screen (left-right) that been created in step two....the size of the piece is small enough to get inside of the hole and hide its presence when you look straight to the screen you can only see its pressence when you will look from one side....also make sure the length is not two long mine size is like 10/1 size of the whole screen length and the wideness it also importent make sure to push it as far as it go to the end of the casing..so that its presence is unoticed...also make sure the tickness is not two much so that the screen and casong doesnt get two much presure....
4)now put those two screw again you can tight it up but dont tight too much...
This two piece stoped the screen from getting in touch of the casing body and as a result the sa probs is gone permenantly for good....i can assure you that this will work 10000% for sure i tested it in both of the hermes verient....
now if you got any more question then you can ask me or if you like me two take a picture of the procedure or the plastic piece i used then i will post it here...
Thanks
BR.

I'd say: Show me the pictures ...
I've got a Vario 2 HTC635 and only had SA problem after i cleaned the screen to apply the screenprotector. After a reset/reallignment the problem was gone since so I think you're right about pressure to the screen.
Also i've done the business card trick just to be sure it wont happen in future.
I wonder how this does not void your warranty?
Just for opening up the device does that (tho no-one can tell if you had done it), but surely, if you remove foam or anything else from the phone.
I'd think that any kind of modification to the phone, will catch the eye of service guys and after they have done the repair, they will send a bill.
On the other hand, if the phone works without any issues during the warranty time with that modification, hell with the warranty.
picture please.
Well, you don't need to remove any of the tamper tags with this method so unless the device gets close scrutiny beyond that, the chances are that it'll go under the radar, especially if you remove the shims prior to sending it back.
If I understand this procedure correctly this is what you're saying.
1. Remove the screws.
2. Take a thin rigid card-like material and push it between the cover and screen on both the left and right sides of the Hermes screen (when held upright) to dislodge the adhesive.
3. Afterward, wedge a screen length piece of the thin card-like material between the screen and cover on both the left and right sides of the screen to prevent the screen from touching the case in the future causing the SA problem to come back.
If I have this correct I may try it this afternoon.
some pictures would be nice
what is the length of the card pieces that you placed between the screen and the body before tightening the screw? was it one tenth of the length of the screen?
as I said please post some pictures, it would help
Thanks
yes the length is like 1 tenth of the screen size...i will post a picture of the plastic lateron that i used...
I've had serious SA issues, I just tried this.
Of course, I also lost one of the screws *grrr*
I'll let you know how it works, though!
edit: found the screw on the floor with the help of the tytn's camera LED .
Sounds true...
Actually I had the screen alignment issue and after applying a screen protection and therefore "pushing a bit" the display it is gone (hold thumbs)
Just thought I'd report that my screen has been fine (after doing this) for the past 24 hrs, a new record .
hey pkx glad to hear that my hack worked for you...im now on 15th day and im not having even a slight screen mis allignment after the hack even giving hard pressure on right side of the screen is not making any misallighment...so its now safe to say that god freed me from the sa problem curse....
sajib
I woke up this morning and my screen was misaligned .
So it's not a permanent problem for me, but it helped considerably.
1) what do you use to loosen the screws? mine looks like a 6-pointed star
2) pictures!
The screws in mine are Phillip yours are Torx based on your description. My guess would be a size thats between T-4 and T-6. I haven't done it yet so no pics.
ah torx! i knew it! i thought you only use torx on screws with messed up heads.
now where to get that screw
please,send me the pictures...

ok i am going to post a picture tomorroaw as my camera is not at my hand right now..
and to clearify one thing more u need to use a bit of fatty card to resist the screen to get in touch of the casing..mine is like 2 time thick then of the thickness of a standard sim card...i thing it will help..
sajib
Sajib: thanx a lot for trying to help us with this annoying problem. I removed the two screws that appear under the screen when I slide out the keyboard. But I couldn´t loose the screen from the casing since apparently there are two more screws hidden between the keyboard and the screen. I don´t understand how you did it. Can you please explain me with more details???? I am aligning the screen at least 6 times a day!!! Thanx!
I need some help..
If i understand correct, just relax the screws, put the plastic to the both sides (left and right) between the screen and the front panel(WITHOUT disassembling the whole case) and then tight the screws back to the original state.Is that correct?
Also i deleted some files to get more than 10mb free space and that helped me alot
But when i clean the screen there is small change in the screen position so i still may need to do the hax.
Thansks in advice and sry for my bad english
It seems that my 8525 with Black Satin (WM6) has recently started crashing when I slide it close after sending a message or after sliding it open when recieving one.
The screen goes all dim and interlaced looking but it's really "off" as when I press the power button it actually boots up. When this happens that current text message is GONE poof!
I sat there and slid it open and closed 20+ times and couldn't repeat it but when trying to use it for real is when it freezes. It's not only with the text messaging though as I tried to slide it open to reply to a message on the internet (via wifi) and it locked up there also.
I did a search and haven't really found anything... guess I could reinstall but man, I hate having to do that... what all will I need to rememeber to back up? Text messages, phone numbers, settings for tomtom? bah!
Anyone ever experienced this?
Great, I think it's a loose connection somewhere... I noticed it was out and I had only put it down, not closed the slide. So just now when it was just idle I tapped on it and poof it locked up.
Great... Now what!

If it's still under warranty, take it in and have them look at it.
If it's not, look for one of the many disassembly instructions around, take it apart and reseat the cables.
I took mine apart not long ago to fix a non-working camera and it was amazing easy to get into the phone and remove and reconnect the cables.
Just make sure to read everything before trying it.
I bought it off ebay (supposed to be brand new) to unlock and use on a regional company's network. So doubt I'm covered.
http://pdasmart.zftp.com/instructions/Cingular 8525 Instructions.pdf
Is that a sufficient set of instructions? I'm not opposed to doing this, I repair laptops all the time and they are just about as difficult if not worse sometimes. I had attempted to take apart a friends dead 8525 a year or so ago but didn't know where the retention tabs were to get it opened beyond the obvious screws.

That would be the basics. I noticed that it doesn't say anything about the tape for the large ribbon cable, so there may still be some snags if you use those (I don't know if the tape is present on all the various rebadges of the hermes).
Nice that they use a tool to take it apart, I used something like a debit card on mine.
If you are comfortable disassembling a laptop, you should be fine. As with a laptop, just take it slow and be careful.
(shudders at the memory of disassembling a compaq and Apple laptop)
Word, I hate working on laptops... but I guess I got to!
I'll bet it is the battery header on the board. I had a similar issue and needed to repair a solder joint there.
same here.. i was lucky it was still under warranty..
good luck with the dissasembly!
it has been rather calm lately... though I am a lot more gentle when sliding it open and close...
I know it couldn't have been a fluke... maybe some dirt got in and now is out... I'm sure I will have to get at it eventually... till then I'll just keep treading lightly!
Oh, and Mike, thanks for those links... VERY good stuff!
Hello everyone! I have problem with my phone because sometimes is turning off without any reason, I bought brand new battery and is still same when is switched off and I want to put it back on i must take off battery for couple of minutes, then put battery back and then switch on anybody know whats happened?? And how to fix it!!
It's the most standard problem with htc models touch and elf...
This problem is hardware based! in this condition there are only 2 things you can do:
1.send the device to a htc service center and get the motherboard changed for $300+ if you are out of warranty.
2.Or open the mobile and put a piece of thin plastic in between the omap prosessor chip and the steel piece tha goes over it and then put the second cover on top in order to apply pressure to it because the solder pins that are in between the cpu and the mobo are not connecting properly and lose contact so the phone goes off or freezes then goes off and some times stays off. Make sure that there is enough but not to much pressure applied to it! it worked for mine but i did it because it was out of warranty... its a temporary fix but if you are gentile to it after it will surely work for a few more months...
IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE OR YOUR TOUCH/ELF IS STILL IN WARRANTY DO NOT TRY IT!
I will post a pic that i took when i did mine if anyone is interested... Let me know...
Thanks for reply!
Uff.... first way to fix it is a little bit too expensive! And 2 way to do it seems quite easy, so i try to do it this way Could you add any picture of this and just tell me how to open this phone?
Many thanks!
@Firestarter42
Thanks man!!!!
did what you said, the plastic trik, and the phone is back to life (it was totally dead and didn't charge) you save a life today!!!
I had the same problem untill one day when he didn`t want to turn on and now i do not know what to do with it how to make it work again
Dear Sir,
I have just tried method 2.
My elf didnt have a metal cover on the processor, lol... got it used from someone... or should I say abused? lol
anyway, I hope it works. will update...
here's a link for the demonstrated tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476152
Thanks a lot again.
I haved the same problem.....and i realize after many times that I didn't change my ipl and uspl!!!so my cocked rom frequentely turn off my device!!!now it's all right!!!!!!!
i had the same problm too....
it kept turning off and just a few weeks ago it would never turn on...
i did try that trick of keeping the plastic thingy on the omap processor ... it worked for a few weeks max after tht it happened as above
finally took my phone to htc.. told them it was gift and i dont have the invoice... actually purchased frm ebay for 150$ .....
they checked it was in warranty,.. they replaced the board... hurray... my elfin is alive again.. and in wm6.1
hope htc fixes this crap issue as many face this problem
My HTC elf was freezing, rbooting and so on, i was thinking that it was a windows/flash/third party programs problems ....
BUT I confirm that the method "open the mobile and put a piece of thin plastic in between the omap prosessor chip and the steel piece tha goes over it"
brings my htc elf to life again ... stable !
(i've done it with a metal piece and not plastic.)
Thanks for the advice !!!!
my elf was freezing and turning off so i try this 2. method and it works, and elf is much faster then before in my case...
I've never had this problem before but this week my phone switched itself off (so had to boot up again) a couple of times. I did try a new custom rom but I've also been using a different charger (USB mains adaptor) and a replacement battery (this seems to be a poor replacement battery which seems to make up the battery level.
So I don't know what was causing it. For some reason, removing the SD card and re-inserting it seems to have done the trick for now but I'll keep watching it.
Hi guys
My phone is, usually at night when there is no use, switching the screen off, the earphone green indicator flashes but the phone will not turn on when I press the power button, I have to do a soft reset each time to get it back on again (even though it appears to be on with the flashing green light). I cannot get calls or text and my alarm fails to sound. Have overslept a few times now!. Also, its battery has gone for a ball of ^&*%. Will this trick help? Thanks a lot!
Turn off as in literally 'poof!' or, it will restart?
The only way to get it to restart is to do a soft reset, or remove and replace the battery. The phone's green light will flash but there is no way to the screen to activate or use the phone - make calls, use the alarm, receive etc. The screen stays black, no use trying the power button either...

power problem on Elf (not the usual)
hello guys, i have an Elf T-mobile that someone "lost" i found it, but was bricked...i unbricked following the awesome guides on the forum and installed on it the original italian rom (obviously am not german)
but...here's the problem, when i press the power button (should get it into stand by mode like every pda does) or also when goes on stand by itself, just shuts down !!!
then the pda auto soft resets, until the end...doesn't have the "auto power off problem" like i readed on the forums...however it tried but didn't solve the problem
i think is a problem with the radio, or the IPL or SPL (i tried 1.11.0002 IPL and 1.11.000 SPL...then 2.2x.xxxx IPL and SPL...now i tried 3.14.0002 IPL and 3.14.0000 SPL, also tried different radios...
but the problem remains...
EDIT: Problem solved, changed the little battery in the motherborad, it worked for me

I'm presuming you mean for option 2, as 1 is quite obvious
Anyways, I haven't done this, but I am posting my best guess (untried, untested, just a theory).
Open your phone up and completely dissamble as described here. Completely strip it down so you only have your mainboard. Clearly take all the necessary precautions before hand (backup, etc etc.)
When done, you will see there are blank shields above where the chips will be, if you look, you can see little dimples, you can ease these off here. This will get you into where the omap processor is. You can then put the plastic on top, and make sure it is done as described. Should literally be a case of putting it all together and hoping for the best after that. I will have a look at some point (can't promise when) and see if I can take some photos of where this will go etc.
An alternative would be to try and reflow the joints of solder with a heat gun... very dangerous considering how tight the components are packed in, and overkill.

where to get small battery on mother board
As above.
Not cool at all
How do I fix it, the computer starts (Vista side), then goes to the American Megatrends screen and says "System Fan Error, The system will shut down after 60 seconds" (in RED - uncool).
Nothing seems broken. It all seems OK. Nothing except the normal cracking of the fan exhaust that we all know about.
HELP!
Sounds like it's telling you the internal fan has packed up.
Won't be too hard to find a replacement the correct size - or make a warranty claim.

OK. Except I am in PNG at the moment and will not be back to Australia until May (for 2 weeks only). HTC's not the most reliable for turn around
Hmmmm, not good at all.
I have sent a WTF to HTC also. We can see what happens.
I had same problem, with windows 7. 4 days ago...
But i did manage to boot from vista...(F3)
Just tried to F3 the Vista side. No joy. I suppose that means the fan is right royally screwed!
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm willing to try anything once!
Cheers
take out the batteri. for some time...
i dont know what i did but severel on and off and i then could boot with f3.
It may be som bug in windows7, i dont know.u are using win7 wrright??
I usually get this problem once a month and my "solution" is to drop the shift about 1 meter above my bed so it lands softly. After five-ten drops it usually starts working again. Maybe the fan get's stuck or something, I dont know but it usually work
My keyboard wasnt working when it happened (check this on wm side), if soo u cant press F3.
Sorry about my bad english, cant explain better.
OK - Its working again - Next Problem
So, this morning, as a bit of a hope, I try the thing again.
AND IT WORKS
YAH
Must have got knocked in my bag and got "unstuck", which is great.
Next problem - I will be back in Australian for 2 weeks in about a week. Does anyone know the fan type and/or make so I can take it to a shop and get it fixed.
PS - Sent an email to HTC. The issue has been sent to a senior tech. I have told them it works and have requested the fan type/make and instructions for replacement (and explained my location situation). Lets see how that goes.
The thing is still technically in warranty, but I am not going to have enough time to send it to HTC, wait for them to look at it and then get it back. I am only going to be in Aust for 2 weeks, not 2 months (OK, that was a bit harsh - sorry HTC )

Make sure that the environment is little bit cooler by making sure the temp is not greater than 70 to 75 Deg Farenheit. I have seen the system going down and not booting on WM side if the temp goes above 80.

System Fan Error - SOLVED SOLUTION
Hi guys!
I've seen that this post is almost dead, but if anybody would encurr in this problem as we did, it could be nice to find even the solution in this thread, isn't it?
I thought of a software problem, first, but the "pc" side didn't allow me to get into the bios.. it just said "system will shut down in 60 seconds"..
therefore I opened the shift (I've used this guide: htt p://mikechannon. net/PDF%20Manuals/HTC_CLIO_SM_A05_(GENERIC)_08_Apr.p df), once removed the back cover, I simply disconnected and reconnected the fan connector (power), without touching anything else.
before assembling the device back again I tried to switch it on and so I did after connecting the keyboard (before pushing it completely in the case) in order to check that the connections were correctly done.
NOTE: if you want the screws to stay black, instead of losing their colour while screwing and unscrewing them, you can put a piece of latex glove (the thin ones) between screw and screwdriver..
Hope this might help other people..
bye bye,
RoBy
PS: I know it's against the rules posting links, but this one comes from the website of one of our moderators.. I suppose I can share it, isn't it?
solution
I had this fan issue many times with Ubuntu and then with win 7...
I usually tap on the back with my hand (to the location where the fan is located) twice or thrice and the Fan comes up ..
I did open it once and tried to clean the fan by blowing air into it ...
But the dust have stuck on the blades , thinking of re opening and cleaning the fan blades with ear buds...
Let me give it a try and will report back..
my theory of fan problem is it gets stuck due to dust and once cleaned should work fine ,
I got the same problem every time I boot my Shift. I just power off and on for 2 or 3 time and the computer can boot to window.
- I think it is the fan problem or
- the stay in cool so did not run
- the dust inside the fan makes it does not run simetime
One time I opened it and disconnect the fan cable but still the same problem.
I plan to Change a hard drive because every I start it said SMART Capable and Bad. I look the forum said my hard drive is bad and will stop some day.
If my hard drive change can silve these both problem (SMART BAD and Fan Error) I will report you all here.
or anyone have comment on these. I will receive all you idea and try to solve with my shift.
Thanks.
its too easy to fix

Must have got knocked in my bag and got "unstuck", which is great.
Next problem - I will be back in Australian for 2 weeks in about a week. Does anyone know the fan type and/or make so I can take it to a shop and get it fixed.
PS - Sent an email to HTC. The issue has been sent to a senior tech. I have told them it works and have requested the fan type/make and instructions for replacement (and explained my location situation). Lets see how that goes.
The thing is still technically in warranty, but I am not going to have enough time to send it to HTC, wait for them to look at it and then get it back. I am only going to be in Aust for 2 weeks, not 2 months (OK, that was a bit harsh - sorry HTC )

don`t forget to spray it from the fan side ( behind the screen )
works fine with me
Hi everyone.
I remember some user made a topic with same problem, but i am not able to find it.
Theres some weird solution, like when you mix oil with water, inside or on top of my LCD. its in middle of the screen and the touch itself doesn't work properly where that weird patch is.
I tried drying it up but to no avail. I placed it in front of an air heater 7 to 8 inches apart. without battery, with screen side in front and then back side in front. first for 15 mins then for quite a bit of time.
First it went away but it appeared again when i turned it on. Did the drying again but it came again after some time (<-- didn't count it) i didn't even put the battery in it this time. Now i cant just keep it off so i am using it.
Any proper solution to kill this water thingy between lcd?
don't tell me to open it and clean it. The sale value would go crapppyyy low.
Hi,
I think your device has newton rings (use search in this forum to get more details). If your case matches, then send in to HTC service, this is usually covered under warranty.
If your device is not under warranty, you'll need to change the digitizer.
NOO!
This is it! i am done with this crap. Now i need to spend money in this stupidity?!?!? i just spent loads of money getting new PC, now i have to somehow ask my dad to get this repaired ? :/ and he will kill me too. whot its been 5months i got his.
I use the scotch tape to clean LCD's, but never knew one can fix it this away. nop i didn't helped.
Tried lighter trick, nop didn't helped. It moved/disappeared then came back.
i am extremely angry and disappointed.
