Does anyone know how to get the clear lens bezel/cover that snaps into the upper rear housing? Mine is scratched. When disassembling the cover over the camera the only part needing to be replaced is a clear plastic disc/protector that snaps into the cover (and with the small rubber ring gasket seals dust from the board mounted camera/lens). After searching for 8125 replacement housings (ebay, here at xda, etc.) this small clear disc appears to not be included with the rear upper cover.
*BUMP*
My camera lens appears to have fallen off. Does anyone know where I could find a replacement? Thanks!
My friend broke his touchscreen, and asked me to fix it. I've bought a replacement touchscreen, but I can't work out how to remove the the old touch glass. It's stuck on there with glue or something, I don't know. Is there a way to remove it other than painstakingly shattering each piece of glass and chipping away with a screw driver?
HTC Manual
Hi,
have no idea, but did you take a look into the HTC Service manual - which is available somewhere in the internet or in this forum. There it's explained how to disassemble the whole pda totally.
So long

I have service manual but no explanation how to change touch screen only.
it most probably is soldered on the lcd. the touchscreen is held with a little bit of double sided tape around the edges of the lcd itself. just pull it of gently. the touchscreen cable is soldered onto the lcd cable (on the back), so you can pull that off gently or desolder the whole cable of. you have to solder the new touchscreen cable back onto the lcd screen, just using a little bit of tape to connect the copper wires will not do (i found that out the hard way with my device). good luck, i wasn't able to solder the touchscreen back onto the lcd.

I have it done already. The touch part is connected to the display with the metal sheet with small dots on the edges. You need a small screwdriver to loose the edges and you should be able to remove whole metal frame with the glass. Then is just enough to unsolder the wirings or cut them off(you'll probably don't need the old frame).
To remove the glass touch screen I did as dennisv9 says, I found that by using a cotton bud with surgical spirit dabbed around the edge of the screen helped to loosen the stickiness of the tape making it easier to remove the screen in one piece by gently prising with your fingernails and dabbing as you go with the spirit.
You must also gently remove the tape that holds the connector tail on the back of the metalwork with care, peel from the bottom upward and try to hold the cable in place with your finger to save breaking any tracks. Now gently unsolder the connections and that is it. To replace it use a little flux on the connector and hold it in place with some masking tape and with a clean soldering iron reheat the solder and let it melt and flow. That is basically it, now reseat the screen and gently remove the masking tape and put some decent tape over the connections to secure them properly.

Just removed the digitiser from my lcd screen. Thank you for posting the service manual, most helpful for taking the xda apart.
I used a craft knife and very, very gingerly worked along the top then each edge. Repeating the process until the blade was just under the digitiser. Then teased it gently away from the screen, starting on one side then the other. I did make a slight crack in the touchpad but the screen is perfect.
I feel I should point out that the Himalaya (xda 2) has a choice of two screens, each screen has a specfic touchpad. My model was the PH10B, which needed the screen from the xda 2i (alpine). Not sure if this is the case for every PH10B but the connectors are very different for each screen and digitiser so not backwards compatible.
I have seen screens with digitisers attached for just under £30 on ebay (with tool, screen protector and instructions). I would recommend doing the straight swap rather than faffing around like I have but considering I got the touchpad for £6 there is a saving to be made..... "He who dares Rodders!!!"
Thank you so much for the post. It's really useful.
wonderful! thanks for the info..

I just don't clearly get the point, how to put the solder tip, does it on copper the wire or behind it? since the wire is so thin and mostly covered by sort of yellow thin plastic.
Too bad i just replaced my casing with a new one, i have a slight crack on my XDA iis screen, but i didnt replace it as i thought the glass was built in to the lcd screen.. at least now i know that its possible to remove just the glass..
I have the same problem ....
How to connect your LCD, it's not working ....
Any Ideas ?
and how, any ideas ??
Hello, I need the wifi antena (little metal piece). And the landscape to portrait magnet sensor that goes on the screen housing side. (Its the one that detects if the phone is in portrait or landscape).
Thank you guys for your help. Much apreciated.
I bought a magnetic cover for my N10 and have found that it will blank the screen if the cover is wrapped around the BACK of the device. Can anyone suggest a good way of shielding the rear of the tablet that will stop this?
How do I remove the Samsung S View cover?
Do I pry it the side or the upper part where the headphone jack is located? Or do either way works?
I remove mine by prying from the headphone port side and has been fine.
You can pry almost anywhere along the seam if you are gentle. Pry with a fingernail or soft plastic. There is a bit of a detent on the vertical side that is perhaps easiest.

Thanks guys. Just pryed it off, it was indeed very easy to get it off.
