Recently I had to glue part of the facing that came off of my housing that covered the front camera. Accidentally some of the glue drip down on the front keypad and got onto the button board underneath it. The left side of keypad started not to work. I disassembled the phone and notice that the D/thumb keypad had adhered to the button board. After separating the keypad from the board, part of the backing that holds the circular metal contacts to the board came off.
Does anyone know where I could get that backing for the button board or where to purchase a replace button board that fits the T-Mobile MDA Vario II?

Hi
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but this is my 1st post here & need a little 1to1
My touch screen on my Qtek 9100 stopped working a few days ago, the phone is ok, i can make calls & use the manual keypad.
The phone was left uncharged for a few days & when i went to use it again the touch screen was not working.
There is a dent in the screen that i did not notice before, its only about 1cm, actually its more of a scratch than a dent.
The screen looks fine, no cracks or black spots visable.
No life from the screen, whatever part i touch.
Can someone advise me on what to do to get back up & running.... I have already done this.....
Hard & soft resets
Installed latest ROM.
Phone is currently stuck on the the "touch screen to setup your mobile device screen"
I have already ordered a new touch screen from the net,
should i just change the touch screen or are there other things to try first?
Any advice welcome like
(links to how to change the screen)
Cheers
any luck? im having the same proble but with my atom exec and everyone seems slightly blank on this
When the touchscreen went bad on mine, it turned out the cause was a tiny, almost invisible hairline crack in the touchscreen's ribbon cable which severed one of the wires. I had to use a magnifying lens to see it.
It was possible to test with a multimeter. On the back of the LCD is a piece of clear tape covering where the touchscreen ribbon is soldered to the LCD. You will need to lift the tape to expose 4 wires from the touchscreen. With pressure on the screen, there should be a resistance around 1.2kohms between pins 1&2 and the same between pins 3&4. On mine, pins 3&4 were open circuit.
To fix mine, I didn't change the screen. I removed the touchscreen ribbon from the main LCD (accidentally tearing the solder pads off the ribbon - I wasn't sure how it was attached). Then I used an X-acto knife and scraped off some plastic from each side of the break. Then I soldered a TINY piece of copper wire no thicker than a hair across the break (a single strand from a stranded wire). Since I accidentally tore the solder pads off the ribbon, I scraped off some plastic from the copper traces there and soldered some wire to them and soldered that to the LCD. That did the trick, it's all working now!
i have this same problem.. i was using the qtek with the cracked digitizer but when i did the hard reset it took me to this screen. is there anyway we can get off this screen? help plz!!
It was the second time replacing the housing on my Touch. I was a bit careless when putting it back together. I broke the slider button on the side. Can anybody tell me where I can get a replacement??
You try ebay? I found my speaker on ebay and it was only $5.50+free shipping straight from China. It took 9 days for delivery
Did you break the slider, or the physical button assembly on the PCB?
My camera button housing broke (not the button itself), so I had to open my Vogue, tear it out, and now I have to press a tiny phillip's screwdriver against two contacts to get my phone to boot to the bootloader.
Hopefully you haven't wrecked the PCB and can find a suitable replacement.

HI there,
I need to replace my screen, so I ordered a complete unit (LCD Screen, Digitizer and front). Now, I have to problem how to fix it onto the housing. They used biadhesive tape, but when I first tried it, the screen did not react when pressing the buttons, for example. I had to press very hard until it reacted. So I guess, the distance was not high enough, wasn' it?
How do I glue in the screen? Which tape to use? How to center it?
Does anyone know which tape HTC uses?
If there a teardown guide for the Wildfire? I'm planning on replacing the fascia to a black or white one
I googled it and I found the EVO and the Desire...
Thanks.

It's what I was thinking but I'm not too sure...
I just did a screen replacement on a German Wildfire today, I used a desire guide briefly - but it was pretty simple. 8 screws and 3 ribbons in total isn't to bad for a full teardown.
Here's the brief:
1) remove back battery cover
2) remove battery, MicroSD, and SIM
3) remove 4 corner star screws
4) remove 2 philips screws from right hand rail (sim card side)
5) Unclip bottom bracket and remove
6) Unclip plastic back from both side rails and remove
7) Remove 2 philips screws from bottom right and top left of breadboard
8) Disconnect haptic feedback ribbon from bottom left by lifting the black lever and sliding out the ribbon (very narrow ribbon)
9) Disconnect screen and touch screen ribbons on right hand edge by lifting them up (they're snap-ons)
10) Lift volume board up from between main bread board and volume button
11) remove breadboard from front housing
12) Peel back the bottom ribbon from the back of the screen (it's glued on with light adhesive)
13) Lift up bottom corner of screen and remove screen from front housing
in the end you should have these pieces:
Front housing
Screen
Bread Board
Back Housing
Bottom Plastic Clip
Back cover
2 Small philips Screws (breadboard)
2 large philips screws (back housing right hand edge)
4 large star screws (back housing corners)
Sorry, I literally just finished this an hour ago. Hope this helps.
i tear-down my wildfire like SophT. my big problem is now, to put the new digitizer in the phone. the old was glued and now i didn't have any idea to fix the new in the phone. have anyone an idea ?!
i think i destroyed the new display. on both sides of the new one were a protective sheet. i removed both, the phone works perfectly, but there is no possibility to use the touchscreen. There are no inputs possible. Have I destroyed with the removal of the film, the new display?

I'm okay with this and I think it's hilarious.
So i bought a used HD2 so i could get rid of my Aria and do a dual boot
The digitizer was bad so i bought that as well as a new screen, replacing it the main flex ribbon that connects to volume port broke which is unrepairable and the pcb where the flex connects to the socket lid broke half way when removing the tape so dang fragile.
But the ribbon still goes in and it still closes, so the main issue is the flex ribbon with the broken volume button.
So my tech is an idiot. But i really want to use the HD2. Is there somebody that has those parts and can fix it?
I already spent $65 on the digi and screen so i feel
Yes go onto ebay and look for hd2 side volume key pcb.
It's a lengthy repair but nothing too difficult if you like electronics.
