Hi Guys,
My friend has an iMate Jamin and I was wondering if the black metal outer casing can be replaced and where I could find resources to do this. He is getting an HTC TyTn and I may buy his Jamin but the case is in really bad condition. I hope that I can find something. If not, that I'm guessing the next best solution is a thin silicone case? I'm not sure where to go to get one of those either. I'd appreciate any replies. Thanks a lot guys!

There is another forum where you can get detailed instructions on how to change the casing. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240109
I guess your best bet is searching on ebay for the casing.
Cheers.
I need to break my MDA ASAP. Anyone know an easy way to make it non-functional besides putting it in the microwave?
(I don't want it to be able to turn on or display anything on the screen).
I know i could just unplug it during a rom upgrade... but then i'd just get the multi-color boot.... i don't want it to boot at all =).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Okay why the f*** would you wanna break a MDA... Just give it to me...
Either way... Try putting in a herms on wizard or vise versa... that would do the trick
that's a good idea i'll try that
.... i'm breaking it so i can get a new phone =)
Just flash a G4 IPL/SPL if you have a G3 or vice versa, that'll brick it for sure!
Soak that biatch in a salt-water solution and wait for it to dry. It will never start again. The salt shorts out the microscopic traces and the planes on multilayer boards.
The only downside is that it will be glaringly obvious to any technician opening the case that it was destroyed in water.

LOL, that's a good one.
I tried to write the G4 ROM & the Hermes ROM to the MDA but both installer packages wouldn't let me.
I ended up reverting to the Base Tmobile 226 ROM and unplugged the USB cord in the middle of the install..... that bricked it (just hangs at the Red/Green/Blue startup screen).... which i guess.. is good enough
That still is not broken, ill buy it
over clock the processor i had a sprint ppc and bricked it that way
WHY in Hell's fire would you want to break a really good device for something new?? My MDA is broken and I don't want another device, I want my MDA. If you truly feel you must kill the device, then damage your USB port. Without a working USB, you cannot charge your device, sync your device, etc...I know. My USB is loose, and I am doctoring it just long enough until I can buy another MDA. Please, just don't let me know when the deed is done. I think you are evil! (A moment of silence please for the loss of yet another device)
Man just discharge the battery if you want to show to your dad 'hey dad, see, its dead?' or do something similar. Then sell it away. If you sell it on a cheap price, somebody out there who dreams of buying a Wizard but can't buy just because he can't pay will be so happy to buy at a super-cheap cost from you. Breaking is very... obsolete as well as stupid idea. There are so many things you can do on a wizard which you don't need. You can test programs on it before running on your new device to see if they aren't going to kill it (even if they do, you'll save your new one). So many experiments can be done on a working device for which you don't care.
Last but not least, I'm willing to buy it from you. Seriously.
I think his objective is to get a new device for free from T-Mobile and I bet he has a warranty.
The MDA is discontinued, so my guess is he's wanting to commit fraud and purposely break the MDA so T-Mobile will give him a shiny new Wing.
Just a hunch though...

That was my thought, and I seriously have to ask...WHY????? The Wing sucks! The Kaiser isn't out...
Why does the Wing suck? Hardware-wise, isn't it basically a slimmer MDA? I really dig the spring-loaded keyboard on the newer phones.
I used my sister's for a week, and it actually seemed to be less responsive and much buggier than my Wizard. A little slimmer isn't enough to make me change. And the Wizard is so tried and true, with so many customization abilities, I'll stick with reliable, even if it is a little older and a bit chubbier.
so u wanna break it aigh i got the perfect thing for you a stick of tnt that should do the trick or if u don´t wanna blow that sucker up u can always place it on the asphalt and take your dads car and drive over or u can just take it to pieces and short circuit that should to the job or i got a another idea take some acid and soak it a little bit but the best thing to do is give it to me i would like to destroy it my self
PREVIOUSLY ON MDA BREAK...
...the company [aka ssstonebraker] are out to break the MDA, GnatGoSplat intervenes to flash the MDA with a G4 IPL/SPL and vice versa, which will leave the MDA just unconscious. but akashastrega plans to pull the plug on USB port, afghanistan (just a name) crosses over to place the MDA on asphalt and driver over it. rellik232's and akashastrega was a while ago busy gaining evidence on why the company are out to break the MDA, iligitrick jumps in to overclock the situation. will the company finally achieve its goal, will the others win over the company....we'll soon find out...as Krix is the MDA's only hope to buy it over....in this episode
"damn, i m gonna join the WGA strike. this show aint gettin me gud money no more"
My HD has died.
HTC wont fix it under warranty.
I need a replacement lower mainboard.
Anyone know of anywhere selling spares?
Thanks in advance.

My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
R.I.P.
i have to do the same change. let me know if you have solved something about it.
Just found this while looking for a replacement for my touch screen on my Vogue. I've replaced my digitizer before but I've never replaced the whole case. Has anyone done this? Looks like a way to really make my Vogue new again. I might just buy it and try it out. Its $20 so no huge loss, eh? BTW, I'm in no way affiliated with the ebay seller. Just found it after a brief search.

If you decide to go that route the Elf Service Manual might be of some help.

That's good to know that exists. I've taken my Vogue apart several times before to the replace just the digitizer but never gone past that which I'll need to do in order to replace everything. The idea of a brand new feeling phone sure seems nice. And this time I'm putting on a screen protector.
what would my best plan of action be to fix this on the cheap? could I get another phone with a bad esn and try to combine them? or should I find one with a good esn and broken screen and use my screen ?
Augh happened while on vacation too (typical)
any help much appreciated.
I tried a new battery also and it won't boot , now it's a brick I LOVE this phone....
I realize this is kinda old
But maybe it'll help someone else.
I had the same problem when I went on vacation. My issue was the charging CABLE. Sure would have been nice to know, since I was using the GPS to find my way around. Ever been lost in a strange city at 2am on Friday night? You *always* stop in the worst part of town to ask directions....
