Need help (Qtek2020)

Hi all
yesterday, while trying to put my device into my jeans pocket, i left it and it fall down to the ground... No damage at the moment after a first check... everything ok... BUT... after coming back home, i've put it into the connection base and anything happened... i've tried softreset but anything happened too.... so i've noticed, looking at the bottom of the qtek, that the port for the cable/base connection wasn't ok.
Here is the problem.... i get no activesync connection or power charging because the port is damaged... i've found that this port moves in every direction and so it isn't well attached to the mainboard. So i decided to disassemble the device to understand what is the problem whit my qtek.
After disassembling it, i noticed that the port has lost the weld that locks it to the mainboard...
And now??? What to do??? The port is completely detached and i think that there is no way to weld it again to the MB.
I'm out of warranty time too and i think that the warranty doesn't cover this kind of problem even because the technician will understand the reason of the unwelding.... and even because i'm not using my original rom from qtek....
So i thought one thing... is there any way to find a cable to connect the device from the port that i found just under the battery??? Where can i find the right cable??? And will it be usefull to get back again all the functionalities???
Please help.... i don't want to break up from my qtek so soon.... and i would like to wait few months before to buy a new device... (universal).
Hope someone will give me some advices... or suggestions.
Bye.... MINDGAP.

Anyone's got an advice for me??? Anyone can help???
I'm in troubloe here and i would like to understand if i could make my own cable to use from the back door port that i found under the battery cover of my device.
I tried to look in the himalaya wiki page but i found anything about this port.... only connection for the main port... that i can't use anymore because it's completely distroyed....
Please help me i can't believe that i'have to throw away my pocket pc only because of this problem....
What i would like to understand is if i can weld the port back again to the MB or even to give power from the port that is placed under the battery to use it only like Navigator in my car.
Please let me know if i can find a cable or a different solution in order to get my device back with all functionalities... i could even send the device to someone who could repair it and send it back again.
I would pay to have it back repaired.
Hope someone will help.
Thanks and have a nice day!

ok... here u are some images taken this afternoon.... featuring my POOR DEVICE..... terribly wounded.... almost dead!!!!
Hope these images will help you in trying to find a solution....

THE CONNECTOR IS FULLY DETACHED FROM THE MB.... AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BUY ONE BRAND NEW... OR IF I CAN USE THIS ONE AGAIN.......
HERE U ARE TWO IMAGES OF THE MB WITHOUT THE CONNECTOR... AS U CAN SEE.... THE MB IS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL..... AND I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE A WAY TO RESOLD THE CONNECTOR......
ONE DOUBT ABOUT THIS LAST PICTURE.... IS THE SECONDARY PORT USABLE???? WHERE CAN I FIND A CABLE OR CONNECTOR THAT MATCH WITH IT????
LAST PICTURES SHOW THE STATUS OF THE CONNECTOR AND THE CAGE THAT PROTECTS IT.... IS THERE ANYWAY TO USE THEM AGAIN???
I HOPE THAT SOMEONE HAS SOME SOGGESTIONS FOR ME BECAUSE AFTER A SEARCH ON THE FORUM I FOUND ONLY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONNECTORS BUT NOT IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO SOLDER AND TO BUY A NEW ONE.......
Thanks in advance just for reading this post.... and thanks much more for answering.....

if this is still a problem for you and all else has failed then I would be preperd to try and resoulder the connection for you I do have all the right equipment and I have experance as I have chiped sevreal Xboxs and thay have a fue fiddley bits plus I was traned to militry spec in solderin at EEV but there is no garantee but from what I have seen I may well be able to do the job. You can pm me in here and I will be watching this thred.

Well I've had also this problem once. I have broken this connector off the board with the charging adapter from charger. Anyway it isn't too difficult to repair that if you are a bit handy. Just use a micro-solder and carefuly sold the connector back.
Important:
1. Don't plug the battery while you repair that!
2. Use the rosin to prevent decant the pewter on the pins
3. Use the pewter-suction band to remove the pewter from the connector if is it too much
4. When finished,use a mechanical tools to remove the rest of the rosin. Don't use alcohol based solvents(I have damaged the JoyStick with Isopropyl-Alcohol)!
5. Ensure that all pins are solded separately and no pins are bridged by soldering!
Probably this will result as a Hard-reset,because the repair will take probably more than 30mins without battery or you can short-circuit the backup battery. Therefore backup all your data(WM5-Only RAMdisk).

In the meantime, you could still communicate with your wounded beast say using Activesync over Bluetooth (that will sort out your sync issues and allow you to have an up to date copy of your data). Similalry if you have or can get an SD card you can dunp copies of data onto that too.
Also if you can get your hands on a second battery quickly enough, use the cradle to keep one bat on charge while using the other in the device. Regularly swap over will mean that you can at least use your Himam until you are in a position to solder new/old parts.

Can some one post a topic or a detailed manual on how to disassemble the hima?
Regds Aldo

...
You need to remove the black antenna cover. After that is it easy. Just few screws. Remove all parts in cover neighbourhood(card,stylus,antenna connector cap). Then release both hooks located at the top of the battery with your nail or small screwdriver pushed into the stylus hole and at the volume-slider location. After that release fixings in surround of the card slot. Do it easily and carefully! Otherwise you can break the plastic. You can find also the service manual at wiki.xda-dev,but DON'T do it that way! That procedure is wrong.

Disassaemble
Can anyone send some pictures on how to disassemble the qtek. Which screws do we need to pull out and how do you do that?

hi i did assemble the connector my self , but i m in Egypt , Cairo ...if you like call me on my handy

BUY/SELL a broken Wizard! Protect our dying breed.

do you have a broken wizard you'd like to sell? simply put it under www.ebay.com and signal the broken wizard offer (THE LINK!) under this thread - specifying the type of defect.
There is a number of OTHER broken wizards (like mine!) that could be repaired by recovering parts from others. And very often we could repair more than one - so after you've repaired yours you could try to resell the remaining pieces.
So, anybody having a broken wizard: follow this thread and we will ALL save money!
As you know, the service manual is very detailed and allows easy replacement of many parts: screens, keyboards, mainboards, stylus holders...batteries!
anyway, we are not anymore under warranty....right?
Comments also welcome, since keep the thread high in the list...

Anything YOU NEED?
Hi,
all those in need of parts could also post here...i desperately need one LCD PCB - since the connector on the flat cable between the LCD and the PCB went bad and my display doesn't work anymore/ after months of shaky performances...THX

anybody got a screen around?need the lcd+digitizer. im not sure yet whether its a gold or black connection, will check later on, but just wondering if anyone has an lcd around..
where could i get the service manual?

anyone know where I can find a switch? Yes, a switch not the button. Long story

Hi,
I have for sale the LCD and touch screen. However, it's more complicated.
My touch screen was cracked but the LCD was good so I bought a new touch screen and tried to fixed it but I was not able to connect touch screen to the LCD (solder the tape?). So I quit and bought a new LCD with the touch screnn. So now I have an used LCD and a brand new touch screen for sale. If you are good in fixing things, I'm sure you will have fun
Let me know if you need some more information or pictures.
Peace,
Tom

My son's Wizard/Cingular 8125 Died
I'll be listing my son's Cingular 8125 later on today on Ebay. It appears the motherboard went "belly up" on it. . . just 3 weeks out of warranty. At least -- from reading some other threads on the forums about the same type problems, that's what I'm surmising happened to it. It wasn't dropped, kicked, sat on, run over, etc., etc. -- it just shut down while he was on the Internet, never to be revived again. I tried switching out his battery with my fully-charged battery to rule that out and tried a few other ideas I found on the forums -- NADA.
No blinking LED when plugged into the wall charger and the PC gives me an error message that the "USB Device has malfunctioned" when plugging it up to the USB sync cable. He had been running the WM6 Underground Edition ROM for a little over 2 months without any problems. It's also one of the original G3 chip phones.
Thought I'd post on here before listing it to see if anyone is interested. PM me if you are.
(MODS -- if this isn't allowed, please remove the post, and I'm sorry)

What do you mean? Did the actual button break the one inside soldered to the board or just the case button that is used to press on the real button?
I broke the actual button trying to put the case back on and I got an old board I am desoldering the buttons from. If this is the case then I could probably send you one.

My wizard nearly fully survived a good old swim in a lake. The only thing that's broke right now is my touchscreen. Does anyone have a spare one they could sell me? It's a touchscreen digitizer with serial LTP280QV-E01
Many thanks

Broking the digitizer... and the buttons gone!

Hi!
I'm new here and i've bought a tytn a month ago. Thanks for ALL THAT YOU HAVE POSTED HERE!
Unfortunately I've broken my touchpad digitizer but I'm yet buy a new one that should arrive in a few days. The problem is that the front panel keys.. (green phone, soft right and left, start, ok messaging an IE) stops working till the screen was broken.. The Dpad work fine in all the five direction.. Is that a problem connected with the screen? they will come to work again after the changing?
I think that, beeing on the same connection, the malfunction of the screen can cause an uncorrect connection to the buttons but it's only a prevision.. (read HOPE)
I hope I'm able to explain my problem also with this very very bad English. Sorry.
Gianmarco

From the information you give, it is possible the connections to the keys have become dislodged. This is more likely if the phone was dropped.
However, until you open the TyTn you will not know the extent of the damage.
Mike

Thanks mikechannon for the prompt answere.. i try to explain better:
All the connections are in good condition (the connection on the mainboard and the connection on the front pad are perfectly placed). The only one "open circuit" is the digitizer.. 2 of the 4 connection does not join the layer that has been scratched away (yes.. don't tell me more...). In poor world, the resistive input of the first layer of the digitizer is.. max ..open circuit.. ^^
I've to wait the replacement and hope? ^^

I won't ask what you've been up to Abusing your poor TyTn!
You may be lucky. Certainly there are numerous reports of screen problems being linked to dead keys so good luck.

ok.. waiting for the replacement.. if all goes bad no problem..
SELLING LIKE NEW TYTN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF HUNG UP A CALL..

Sorry for the long silence.
I was here but i forgot that thread.
I'want to thanks again all the staff because a week after the fact mentioned above i've recived the new digitizer from HK. I've changed it with the original one and i've experienced a new way of playing with my ppc. The new (i think not htc orignal digitizer) has no alignment problems.
Thanks a lot for all the work you've made and you do here.
p.s. i've to change the digitizer again because the new one (now) is full of scratch.. amazing.. isn't it?

Tmobile wing screen replacement

UPDATE
I did it
I bought a digitizer from ebay 17$ shipped versus 50$ for a lcd combo.
Arrived in a week from hogkong, wrapped in toilet paper (unused) with a screwdriver (wrong size) and a plastic opening tool (kinda useful).
I took apart the phone using the instructions, you can find them online if you google for them.
I removed the LCD-digitizer combo. Now the tricky part:
removing the digitizer is hard, it is very well glued/taped to the screen. Mine was broke so after I removed the plastic sheet(the actual digitizer) I had to remove piece by piece all the glass. It was a little war on my desk that resulted in a little scratch on my screen but in the end I did it.
removing the connection tape is not hard, the connector is just attached.
I set the new digitizer in place, insert the ribbon through that hole (actually I had to remove the metal back from the screen to do that).
I taped the new ribbon. And it didn't work. I read somewhere that you have to solder it back but I don't have such a device and buying one defeated the purpose of spending all this time taking that screen apart.
So I carefully clean the connector, set it in place and taped it again. Didn't work again. But I noticed that if I putt some pressure on it the it works.
so I put a bunch of tape there and when I put the phone back together it worked.
Time: about 4 hours of work. But it is my first time I took a phone apart , and I kept loosing screws and all sorts of adventures.
It's not really worth it, more likely I broke something else, i had a hard time reconnecting the keyboard, I actually had to cut a pice from the keyboard ribbon because of the faulty contacts but IT was a fun project. I was debating between a new phone and fixing this, and i decided that if I screw it completely it doesn't matter, and i guess I had some good luck. If you guys have any questions, I know i should have take pictures, but I forgot, you can email me at [email protected].
Thank you for all the help I got on this site.
I broke my screen (Tmobile Wing) but I guess I cracked only the touch screen, not the LCD. The phone works, the LCd works, only the screen does not responde to any touching.
I found LCD screen replacements (~50$ shipped) but I also found the touch screen only replacements (~20$ shipped). Does anybody know if Only the touch part of the screen can be replaced? I never took my phone apart. Is the screen combo made from two layers that can be separated?
Thank you for your help.

wow good to know, unfortunatley i had purchased another device before even checking up on these things, i was still new to this site and my Wing...oh well

I took my broken lcd apart to see if I could get some info for you. It looks damn near impossible to detach and re-attach the the ribbon cable for the digitizer. Since yours is broken, you might as well take it apart and see for yourself before buying just the digitizer. Good luck

Hi: Just now read your post..Am I understanding that I don't need to buy the "LCD" screen for $45.00 and only need the touch screen that sells for $17.00? If so, then the cracked part underneath the plastic on my Wing is fixable? My phone still rings and is answerable but I cannot call out using the screen. The backlight etc. is still working and I just bought this so I am looking for a cheaper repair. Thankx

LCD vs. TOUCH SCREEN T-Mobile Wing
I think I can replace just the touch screen if the glass underneath the top plastic is cracked..(In a hurry to visit Halloween Horror Nights @ Universal Studios and ran over it) The phone still receives calls but the screen is white and when touched turns the cracks black, the backlight is still active, the qwerty is fine etc...So.................do I need the LCD or just the Touch Screen?

digitizer replacement
hello. I original got my wing with a broken LCD, I replaced it with no problems and it worked fine. I have since broken the glass on the digitizer. The digitizer glass from my old LCD was not broken, it is now that I tried to remove it from the broken LCD.
Also, there are two different types of digitizers. one the ribbon cable is on the right, the other is on the left. The LCD[with digitizer] I purchased had the ribbon cable for the digitizer on the opposite side. It worked great until I broke it.
So, my question is: If I purchase a digitizer from eBay, does it come with the glass or is it just the plastic digitizer itself?
Thank you in advance,

The replacement digitizer off ebay works ONLY when I push the ribbon hard against the lcd screen ribbon where it attaches. What is the way to stick it that it connects and conducts power as it suppose to? I tried the taping method without success as noted by the 1st post.
Help please

They come with the glass, just be sure to get the GSM version, not the CDMA. I know this is late, but might help someone else if you've already done so.

Solder it... but you've pointed out that you can't or won't do this already. I don't know of any electrically conductive glues (especially trying to glue the ribbon cable in place without shorting itself out)

new case probs

okay i bought a hermes off ebay, ment to be scratched like u expect after a year in ya pocket.. it was SCRATCHED to hell like a sheet of sand paper was used on it, and somoen had written war and peace on it.
it was cheap so i thught i may as well pick up a new chassie for it, i did it arrived today, i had already watched the few videos about how to dismantle this phone (i am no stranger to doing this as i tend to repair my friends and ppl i knows mobiles and used to have a alpine that went through 2 lcd`s and 3 touch screens until i learned to look after it)
i carfuly stripped it down, replaced all the casing to a new jasjam case, and now the keyboard wont light up (ya i know about the light sensor) and the screen wont auto flip, but i can still use the keyboard just with a normal portate screen, i have tried hard resetting as i am still trying to find a rom i like and dont have any software installed.
is it the kb ribbon thats gone? and anyone know were i can get one in the uk? is there any way of manualy rotating the screen like on the alpine? as i can live with doing that until i get a fix.

I did the same, got a new case but I was lucky, it still works altough the blue light is always on.
To manual rotate the screen you assign a hardware button to it. Go to setting, buttons, select a button and the rotate screen from the program list.
Good luck

it was cheap so i thught i may as well pick up a new chassie for it, i did it arrived today, i had already watched the few videos about how to dismantle this phone (i am no stranger to doing this as i tend to repair my friends and ppl i knows mobiles and used to have a alpine that went through 2 lcd`s and 3 touch screens until i learned to look after it)
i carfuly stripped it down, replaced all the casing to a new jasjam case, and now the keyboard wont light up (ya i know about the light sensor) and the screen wont auto flip, but i can still use the keyboard just with a normal portate screen, i have tried hard resetting as i am still trying to find a rom i like and dont have any software installed.
is it the kb ribbon thats gone? and anyone know were i can get one in the uk? is there any way of manualy rotating the screen like on the alpine? as i can live with doing that until i get a fix.

Amost certainly either the Keyboard ribbon cable or its connections (As you say). The magnet operated orientation sesnsor is built into the ribbon cable and is of course also linked to the keyboard open light up action.
BUT, I have seen this happen because the magnet has dropped off!!! It's a small metal oblong and does not look like a magnet.

Check that magnet is still there and that the sensor on the cable is located correctly.

Did you try disabling touch flo and aligning the screen?

yup managed to work out how to do it, been playing around and i dont think its compatable, even though it said it was and its the correct size or i just dmg the ribbon, but i can still use the with the keys so until get a new screen ;[
