really annoyed last night, stood up and as i did my wizard decided to eject itself from my pocket somehow and fall to the floor, as it did the stylus and sd card fell out...
tried to put the sd back in and it doesnt click in any more, have had a fiddle with some tweasers and cant see anything in there that looked like it snapped and there is a latch on one side that goes up and down but cant click it manually. Anyone else done this? is it terminal?
ive resorted to a big blob of blue-tak on the top of my phone to try and hold it in but its only about 75% effective.
Any help would be great
This problem and solution has been discussed and posted hundreds of times,just read or there's a tab at the top of every Forum 'Search',just use it,you'll prolly get many answers.
There was no need to start a new thread.
i should have expected such a response.
I DID SEARCH!
As you are such a fan of the search feature then im sure you'll know that if you search for anything more than one word it will bring up about 2000 posts related or not.
I'll go look through them all now.....
Simple answer ! if the holding latch is broken or come loose,it won't stay in,just wrape a little layer of adhesive tape around sdcard,but make sure connectors are not coverd and insert it,there's no other solution for it,less you replace the body or get it repaired,ok
Regarding me being a fan of search,thats why its put up there for !!! every senior member will advise it and we all use it.
thankyou that has worked.
i couldnt agree more, but the search doesnt always work and generic words liek sd card will bring up 1000s of useless posts
Thanz !
You are most welcome.

Nope, it is not in the manual.....
I need the quick start guide.
Anyone?
Is it so obvious, thats why it is not in the manual? Isn't that the SIM card socket there?! under the battery?

Yes, But how can this thing be opened? So that I can reach the batery?
slide the back cover up.
His next post may be, "I know, but which direction is up? And, how much force should I put onto it to avoid breaking it.". You need a PhD degree to open this phone.

1. Remove the stylus
2. Put the device in your left hand.
3. Buttons in your handpalm
4. Your finger must be aroud the top of the device
5. Place your right hand on the back of the device
6. Move your right hand upwards.
It requires some force.
I had a hard time opening it up too....didn't want to break my shiny new device And yes....it IS in the manual (the quickstart guide that is).
But i can understand people are sometimes too carefull
Chill out or go read some other thread.

No-one's forcing you to reply to his questions... If we all acted like that, no-one would want to come here and ask anything anymore.
Take a hike or something limey. Jeez.
I think it was the phrasing of the question....
Once you have mastered the cover it's obvious that the sim slots into the sim shaped hole under the battery.
The cover is a bugger though - it's pretty flimsy plastic so you don't want to risk cracking it open. The retailer I bought mine from mentioned something about "it helps to lift the cover when removing it" - so a few others must have had this prob. I just shrugged it off thinking "it's a battery cover ffs - how hard can it be" - and found myself cursing the damn thing as soon as I got home.
Funniest post subject I've seen for a long while nevertherless - so thanks for that
Well, I'm grateful to Hellejoep for asking the question. And very much indebted to Delft for explaining in steps how to open it (dank je wel, hè!).
I dropped my Fairphone, and found this one in a drawer. Probably got it from some-one, way back when. Been trying to open it, no clue. Today - finally time for an online search - I looked for an hour to solve this puzzle. It's not in the manual, can't find the quick start guide. And there you were, discussing it some ten years ago )
Nice..
Greetings, Nadja
Anyone know why ??? It just wont click in anymore... I woke up one day and it was just sticking out - Ive tried jamming it in but its just not reading it!!
Anyone have any problems like this before ? All my stuff os on the card :'(
Only replying so you dont feel alone. But 1st off check if anyone broke inside it, Anything stuck? I could suggest opening it if you have the tools to check it out and maybe fix it if its not latching right.
Also you can still get a adapter at radioshack for the mini sd. I did. It was 20$ came with SD, Mini SD and Micro SD all in one. So least you could get your stuff. =)
Mem Card
Does it work if you hold it in? If so, I didn't like that mine came out occasionally so I hot glued it in. Hold it in, run a small bead of hot glue on top wait a sec and press the glue into place with your thumb. The glue wont run into the phone and it's easy enough to remove when you actually want it out. If your careful you can even heat it a little with a hair dryer to smooth out the glue. Personally, I don't ever take mine out. I had problems with the device not recognizing my files after removal. I install most everything to the SD that works right there.
**Try this at your own risk. I've done it several times and never had a problem. Just don't blame me if you break something.**
You can apply a thin layer of sticking tape around it to keep it firmly in the slot,but make sure you don't cover the connections with it.It'll stick in there and work proper.
Cheers
It just doesnt seem to be reading it at all - But when I plugged in into my wii all the music is still on it and it seems to be working fine.
When I try and jam in my old card it flashing for a second to say would you like to format the card so it must be working kinda... Argh!
Its really annoying - I used it as an mp3 player quite a lot and theres just not enough internal space...
Hopefully it will fix itself soon as that appears to be the only hope
I'm wondering if maybe the mech is loose and pushed inside. May take a little surgery. If I remember right there is some sort of spring loaded mech that keeps pressure on the card connections while in the slot.
Today I removed my minisd card and put it back in shortly after, but something went horribly wrong
Somehow I broke the thing that holds the card in position so now it wont stick in.. so I tried to make it stuck in with a paper which works but it doesn't get recognized then, I guess the mechanism which holds the card always turns on a switch thats tells my wizard to start reading the card
Does anyone got any idea to fix it, cause this sux big time (I bought the phone a few months ago for €200), I cant find my receipt but ill try to get a copy of the shop .
Im so pissed right now
Nobody knows, the warranty is overdue
Could I open the phone and maybe fix it myself?
I got the service manual but not the tools, anyone ever seen the inside of the phone, would it even be possible to fix it?
bump ...
similar problem
Hi there
i had a similar problem - had to buy another htc 8125 and unfortunately it came with a broken slot for the minisd card. At first i thought i wasn't pressing the card enough for the thing to click and hold it. Then i realised it was broken. As far as i could see from the little opening there was a white slider which is pushed down by the wider side of the minisd card. It has a spring behind it and somehow it has to click in down position and hold the card.
i tried to push it down with a very very small screwdriver and understand the way it worked. With my bad luck i pushed a little harder and broke that white slider. It just broke in the middle and one part stayed down and the other was pushed up by the spring. It broke exactly at the place where it was pushed by the memory card. So my card was not jumping anymore out - it just stayed in but was not recognised by the phone.
I didn't know what else to do so i found some instructions on how to open the phone and went for it with the hope to reach the memory card slot an hopefully fix it. HTC has taken good care of the stupid slot. It is soldered to the motherboard and nothing much could be done. There are 4 points that hold it but i didn't go that far to unsolder it (didn't know how many springs and other parts would jump out of it). Anyways - what i noticed was the following:
there are two small "plates" at the bottom of the slot. Wheny ou isnert the card they touch and i think this is what makes the slot active and knowing that there is a card in it. I had some dirt betwen them and that was preventing them from making a contact. After i removed that small piece of dirt and inserted the card it worked like a charm. It stays so tight in there now that i hardly can get it out - which is not that bad because i can always use the usb cable to transfer whatever i want.
I think i still have those manuals for opening the phone, so if you decide to go this far and can't find them i can send you an email.
Hope i was of any help
There's no need to open or disassemble the phone to repair the slot,just apply a thin layer of any adhesive tape around it but make sure you do not cover the connectors and insert the card firmly in the slot.
Cheers !
But well even if I push it in it doesnt get detected(I added a piece of paper to hold it in but it didnt detect it still).
I think ill buy a torx screwdriver and open it.
I'll still advise you to check the mini sd in some other phone,if it still doesn't get detected than get a new one or it may need to be reformatted.Opening up the phone might lead onto more problems.
Cheers !

I got a 2gb minisd and a 512mb minisd both dont work so im sure its the phones fault , they have always worked fine.
Hello,
After many hours of searching I havent found something that is like my problem. I got this model recently, and now the touch area issint working. In landscape mode only the bottom of the screen is working.
Is does not mather if you push for example in the left upper side corner or the left lower side corner.... Both will result in getting "Phone" up
I havent tried a hard reset or something. And Im running the standard Vodafone rom on it. (Windows mobile 5)
Is this problem hardware or software? and is there perhaps some kind of software so I can get a mouse cursor with my Arrow-keys?
I hope you guys can give me some answers. Its a waste not using this phone
I have also no idea what the reason is why its not working. It did not drop on the floor or something like that.
Thanks in advance,
Erlerain

Welcome to the forum
I´ve never heard of this problem, but if I were you I try to reflas with another ROM to see if corrects (see the Wiki to learn how to), if not perhaps could be a hardware problem...
Good luck,

Have you tried to re-align the screen?

Yes, but it is not getting the points that it should get. So you can try it a thousand times, and it would not make a diffreance.
Anyone? (sorry to bumb)
I have the same problem. Though I read on someplace that the screen is actualy getting pressed somewhere. try these steps and check after each try.
1st: Massage the screen softly all over.
2nd: Take a something very thin and move it under the edges of the screen.
3rd: (this on is the one that usualy works for me) try to tap softly on the back of the screen.(The aluminum plate) tap it all around the back of it.
4th: (this is the last way out when step 3 doesn't work for me.) Tap softly around the screen.
Gonna put up a video on youtube on how I do it. so you get to know how hard to tap and stuff. Since I guess we're not the only people with this problem.
Edit: Ehm. does anyone know a good free webcam recording program so I can make a video.
Ive already tried those steps. did not work
Then open the monitor part of the phone and press on the backside of the LCD.
Yep, thought the same. Ive tried to open the casing of the monitor part, but its pretty hard to get the plastic cover off
Ill try it soon again.
Thanks MiZore for ur active answering
No problem, but if you find a solution that lasts please write how here. Because I also have this problem. You have to use a little force to the the cover off. There is a dissassembly guide somewhere, I can find it for you if you haven't used it already.
i dont have that guide
Here's the guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC Universal Service Manual
I've found another temporary solution. Take a good grip on each side of screenpart of the universal, then bend it softly back and then forth. This hasn't failed me once yet. But still no permanent solution.
gonna open mine and put something that will apply a constant pressure to the back of the screen like som cotton or something simmilar. I'll let you know the results.
Also, do you use a replacement battery or the original that came with the Uni?
Okay I opened it up today, and I think I've found the problem. Though not 100% sure. From my inspections one of the cables(small ones inside the silver tape) on the flexcable is not connected. and sadly I'm not that skilled with fixing it. So I'm gonna order a new one. I will tell you if it helps.
Okey, so I continued working on the uni today again.
Ive de-assembled the entire screen section. inspected it if anything looked broken. Wich was not the case.
Re-assembled everything again. but I still have the same problem.
As far as I know I use the retail battery
When I have some spair time ill try to look for some damaged cables.
I dont see the future of this device very brightfull

Well I had to cut open the gray cover for the cables to see the damage.
But I'll see what happens when my new cable arrives.
I've installed the new cable and that fixed the touchscreen for me.
But now my sound won't work for some reason....
Ok, this cover is going to drive me crazy.
I want to remove it (cut it off), but don't want some junk floating around in the phone.
Is there a way to do that other than cutting it off, and can it be replaced, if I get rid of the phone and someone else wants it?
Didn't see this discussed in any other topics, so I figured I'd ask...
Thx!

There are usually dismantling procedures on the WiKi, if not, you could probably refer to one of the many screen replacement threads (just search) to see how to open the case.
I've seen screen replacement threads for the TD2 not the ATT Pure. Little different case.
I did read through the wiki prior to posting.
Perhaps someone can point me to another resource.
I gave up and just started pulling on it.
There is a little nub on the end that will come through the case without breaking anything. It will be possible to re-insert this into the phone in the future.
Hopefully this will help someone else that thinks they have to cut it off as stated at a variety of accessory stores...
I did the same. I figure you could probably put a little oil on it and use a paperclip or wire to push it back in if you wanted to.

Would you be kind enough to snap a picture of that cover? I am thinking of remove it also but want to see how it come out.
Thanks,
Sure, give me a couple mins
Here it is
Nice, thank you.
