Dear all,
I am wondering if i can replace my broken pda2k screen with a pda2k EVDO screen?
are they the same?
thanks.
LCD Replacement..
you should always look for the same ribbon color for replacement.. I guess your pda2k has a gold ribbon while EVDO sometimes silver...

From what I understand of the construction of the BlueAngel (PDA2K), both models are internally "effectively" the same. It is only the radio device which is different between the two.
Having said that, it should be entirely plausible to swap the display between the two devices - although you do need to ensure that it is compatible with the video board (driver) in the PDA2K.
From memory, the panels I've seen in the BA are ones made by Toppoly, and Sony. The core driver chip should be an ATI one in all BA's. If you have a different chip (doubtful), or yet another panel manufacturer, then you might want to double check things.
Gut feel says it should be as simple as swapping the two. Good luck on the repair!

hi, go on Ebay and buy this as I did once:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320037342618
Its exactly the same speaker that you find inside your s100... I did try on my phone but it didnt resolve the issue, so I guess it was a major soundboard failure and I didnt investigate anymore since I bought a new one ..but for 6 euros I suggest you to try...plus, the seller is in italy and he is really kind and serious.
Thaks for your reply, my problem is only the speaker because i've broken it, i hope to resolve the problem...
Which LCD display is it? Samsung or Topoly?
I have no idea, where can I check it out?
Look at the back of the LCD:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianHardwareOverview
60H00032-00 is Samsung LTP280QV-E01
60H00037-00 is Toppoly TD028STEB1

Ok, my LCD cracked. I have purchased another one, but I am wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of nightmare I am going to be in for in doing the replacement. (I have a lot of experience in repairing small electrical devices, music equipment, etc... so this isnt my first foray into this type of repair) but I have been looking over this phone, and it doesnt look like its going to be easy by any means, to get the the screen assembly. in fact, it almost looks like I am going to have to go at it through the Back of the phone (pain in the a$$). Any helpfull hints, or tips would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple days to wait, while I wait for my T6 torque driver to come in from order, so I am fishing for tips in the meantime. Thanks in advance!!
Somebody posted a link to a service manual pdf awhile back. I downloaded it then, and I just tried to attach it to this post, but it wouldn't let me. It said upload failed. But if you search around here and at howardforums.com, you'll probably find the original. It detailed the complete disassembly and reassembly of a wizard (actually an HTC Prodigy, but very similar to the Wizard).
You can find the manual at http://www.box.net/public/4enzlr1l8c
excellent, Thanks very much for the manual link, Thats going to come in VERY handy. Thanks again.

I hope this info isnt too late, but I just bought a replacement LCD with the touch screen overlay for my gen 2 cingular 8125 for $65 shipped and insured. I got it off ebay. And that was a buy it now price. Here is a link to there ebay store... http://stores.ebay.com/e2shopstore. And here is an email address I got from him... [email protected]. The replacement LCD with the touch screen overlay for a gen 1 cingular 8125 was $95 shipped and insured.
damn lcd screen.......
anyone know offhand how to tell if your 8125 is gen 1 or 2 without disassembling the damn thing first?
One thing the manual doesn't tell you...
The volume slider tab might be vulnerable to less-than-careful extrication of the board. It's a pretty flimsy piece of plastic when you put pressure on it in a way it wasn't intended....
The other thing I found out is that a wedge shaped plastic tool for the case is a must. I bought one, and I am so, so glad I did. Otherwise you may break the tabs that hold your face plates on, or at least scratch 'em up pretty badly. A cuticle tool (for fingernails) might work pretty well if you don't want to spring (more), as long as the plastic isn't harder than the plastic of the face plates.
Volume slider broken
Blast! Some small metal thing pinged out when I was putting my Wizard back together again, and now my volume slider is flapping about loosely.
The manual has absolutely no detail about how this tiny piece of metal fits back in. Looks like there is a tiny switch with a miniscule vertical slot inside the wizard around that area.
I swear I posted this last night but is not appearing so here goes again:
Has anyone replaced the touchscreen only? Is it hard to separate from the LCD? My MDA had a dead center and I'd like to fix it while spending as little as possible, but if its going to be a problem I'll get the full LCD.
Ok does this version of english bother anyone else?
OEM Cingular 8125 PDA Touch Screen, it does not includes the main LCD. Please according the parts which showing in the item pictures.About my this item,it is just a touch screen, not the full LCD. It is glassy cover on the color LCD. It's for the one whose Dopod 818 i-Mate Jam touch screen was broken, or out of order, we can provide this replacement...So the buyer need not buy a full expensive replacement LCD,just for the touch screen problem...
Last time I bought something on ebay from a guy that talked like this I got a fake h700 that hat the bluetooth range of 2 ft, couldn't even wear my phone on my belt
anyone have the service manual for the cingular 8125? that htc wizard looks different than mine, mine is round? thanks

Towards the beginning of this thread, there is a post with the link to a PDF. I checked it out, and it's for the prodigy but it looks almost exactly like my 8125 wizard.
almost... should taking it apart be the same? I don't want to ruin something, I would prefer to have the manual for my phone exactly.. thanks
Prodigy not exactly same as 8125
Took a good look at the pdf manual for the Prodigy...it's not close enough to the 8125 for me to feel comfortable disassembling the 8125.
I need to replace the clear screen only...got the tools (incl. plastic wedge), but will have to find an 8125 manual first.
The manual is pretty much right on except in one area. For the Wiza200 (t-mobile MDA), the backing is taken off from the back/side areas. For the Wiza100 (Cingular 8125), you need to take it off near the border of the keyboard. I posted some pictures a few months back in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266382
I'm not sure how difficult it is to seperate the LCD and digitizer as I replaced the whole thing. And, as stated before, the volume slider is pretty fragile. It can break if its not seated in the actual button.
have you seen any exact manual, instruction, guide how to do that or just pics?
Thanks,
Tom
My lcd cracked a couple days ago...for no reason...i don't remember dropping it or anything....just have a long crack across the screen.
Now, the left half is black while the right half is barely visible. Paperweight....
Anyone in the NYC can fix this ?
I'll be working on my next week so i'll let you know.
Peace,
Tom
I bought a Cingular 8125 from a seller on another forum and it arrived with a broken LCD. Also, the battery is dead and can't be charged. (Not to mention the missing stylus and lots of scratches on the case... all for a "like new" phone... but I digress.)
I was able to borrow a battery from a coworker with the same phone, and it does power on. The screen is all white with multicolored splotched around the cracks in the LCD. I was also able to hook it up via USB and browse it through Activesync, so I'm guessing the phone is running.
Is there any other way I can test that it's going to work before I invest in a new LCD/digitizer? Another coworker mentioned there might be an emulator I could run on my PC to control the device and place calls with it, does such a thing exist?
Finally, does anyone have experience with a particular ebay sell of LCDs that they could recommend? I've seen a bunch listed in the $50-$60 range, including shipping. Does anyone have any suggestions on a source for replacement LCDs other than ebay?
Thanks,
-Brett.
your not sol yet.
Well to answer your questions in order;
Yes there is something that will let you control and make calls useing your computer, its called SOTI Pocket Controller, look for it.
I bought a mda with a broken lcd on purpose cause after looking into it i found that replacing the lcd isn't so hard. i bought my lcd from ebay and my phone is running great ever since the repair. your going to need to get the service manual and a new lcd ofc, also a torx #5 (type of screw driver) and a #0 phillips head.
good luck with your phone

I'll look for a copy of the SOTI Pocket Controller, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I've already downloaded the service manual, I've got the screwdriver, I can pick up a torx.... but what did you mean when you said "and a new lcd ofc"? Is that "a new lcd of course"?
Also, do you remember who you bought the LCD from since you seemed to have a good experience?
Thanks!

Glad I could help, yea I meant of course, sorry lol. im 1337.
i cant remeber but it was some random company that sold refurbished lcd's, just pick one that has a good rating and a decent price and hope for the best, sorry its all the advice i can give=/.
good luck!

Hi pal, try this software, this software allows you to control your phone from pc with mouse and many other things. It is called my mobiler and i use it very often.
1) Connect your phone through AS
2) Let my mobiler install cabinet on your phone
3) Run it an click on the system tray where is the symbol of the phone and cable and select open mobiler, this will show you your screen.

Hey Brett, I've got some info you need to look into when buying a replacement lcd, there are two types that i know of, their distinct differences are the fact that one has a black flex cable, and the other has a gold one(One is the first generation lcd, and the other is the second generation). I made the mistake of not opening my 8125 after i bought it the same way you bought yours, with a broken screen... I bought an lcd with a gold ribbon cable(back when they were $90+) and it <i>worked</i> with my 8125 except the colors were mixed a.k.a. not as they should be. I bought another lcd(yes, another $90+ since the seller didn't offer a return policy) which <u>matched</u> the color of the old cracked lcd that came in my 8125(the ribbon/flex cable was black). And all was perfect!
So if you haven't yet, take your 8125 apart and make sure you know what lcd it has. Ebay listing for these lcds are pretty definitive on whether they use an lcd with a black or gold ribbon cable. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip! I was checking them out on ebay and I did notice that some sellers made it clear there was a difference.
I bought a T5 torx driver this weekend and managed to get the back of the phone off, exposing the main board.... but didn't get any further than that. I'll have to check the color of the ribbon before I order.
Do you remember if yours was a refub LCD or not? I've seen all but one seller (who was located in Hong Kong) are selling refub units. I'd prefer a new one, but I also don't want to wait 2 weeks to get something form Hong Kong. Any problems with a refurb?
Thanks,
-Brett.
I'd like to know myself the difference between a refurb unit and a new unit. Maybe they replace the digitizer of faulty lcds and then resell the "fixed" units, or maybe there is some other thing about the lcds that make them impossible to sell as new~
Btw my lcd (as it was claimed by the seller) was new. I got it in the mail from Hong Kong inside of bubble wrap and Hong Kong Newspaper post. I looked at the lcd and it sure <i>looked</i> brand new, new enough to immediately apply a screen protector before i installed it into my pda(so that the screen protector covers ALL of the screen and doesn't miss the corners or the sides, it's the best way to apply a screensaver if you ask me).

ewww...vista.
i dont even think microsoft really supports vista the way you would like for using your MDA. Best way to do anything to your phone (and what most of these roms seem to require) is Win XP.
For some reason microsoft wanted to change the way things were handled and I for one am not really happy with it.
Figured this might be the best place as ever. Before I part my Wizard and pay some large fee for a 8525.
Has anyone seen problems with the screen flickering and going mostly white/gray (with lines).
I had dropped my phone a few weeks back - I bought a replacement screen on Ebay and swapped it out - worked great for two weeks. All of a sudden, on Saturday night it went from working to just flickering. Could the new LCD's cable have gone bad? Anyone seen this?

I had problems the first time I replaced my screen where I turned it on and it was completely white. Turns out I didn't have the connector properly seated. I took everything apart and made sure to fully seat the cable into the connector close the little clamp securely. After that it worked fine.
It might be worthwhile to take the phone apart again and make sure the ribbon cable connector hasn't come unseated.
Good luck!

Thank you for your help. I have now replaced the LCD from China but the expansion slot would not recognise any card. Did I do something wrong? Thanks in advance.
If my screen is not responding to my touch, then which hardware component is at fault? I've switched between three ROMs already so I don't think it's a software problem.
Thank you.

Thank you again, but I just had another question come to mind. Is this a fairly common problem or am I just unlucky? Would you also happen to know why or how a digitizer would stop working? I've only had this phone for about a year

If you've had it less than a year I would call HTC for a warranty claim if you did not drop it or dip it in water.
This is not a very common problem but it IS a problem with any touch screen device with some small percentage where this fails. They mass produce these things and every once in a while it just dies.
Sounds like you're unlucky.
If you drop it/hit it a lot I know it can mess it up but that should be the only thing besides faulty hardware.
I think you have rubbed the touch screen tail under the red button. This is a very common problem HD2

So is there a way to fix this without buying a new digitizer?
I just explained what the likely problem. Since many people have had this problem on HD2. You can certainly try soldered cable, but this jeweler's work. If we disassemble the phone, then it is better to replace the touchscreen. Even better to replace the display assembly with a touchscreen, it will be easier.
Hello,
My LG G2 (D801) gets extremely hot when I plug the upper screen connector(The connector for the digitizer I think) in.
Also the touchscreen is almost not usable because when I touch the screen the phone recognices my touch somewhere else.
Do I have to replace the digitizer or are there other solutions?
Thanks in advance,
AndroTill

No.
That is if you want to change the whole panel including lcd and touchscreen.
In your case, you just need to replace touchscreen : https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution-OEM-LG-Digitizer-Screen-Replacement/dp/B00FFJ96QU
Not the whole panel with LCD. Your LCD is fine. :good:

One more thing ..
Before buying from amazon or any other online shop, make sure you check the review and see if the seller has good rating to ensure you get quality replacement parts .
