HTC Kaiser Battery Door

Anyone know where i can get another battery door? my kaiser fell and has picked up a bunch of huge knicks on the back. lmk thanks

anyone? my battey door is actually now broken from one side and it wont close (sadly its practically half opened from the back heh)

I would like to know where to get one too. I have some modification ideas and I need a couple to experiment on.

just called customer service you can order directly from htc only the price are crazy...

I hate the rubberized cover
I wish OEMs start making non-rubberized replacement covers. If we cried out loud that Black Trinity's Batt Cover is a fingerprints trap, Kaiser's original cover is a dirt trap and every new casual touch adds to it's sorry look.
The only solution I found yet is BodyGuardz rear transparent part..
BTW rubberized does not and should not mean doing it poorly. My IBM Thinkpad cover follows the same concept, but is much tougher to both touch and scratch..
Any ideas ?

I just called HTC America to see if I could get a spare back cover for my TyTN II. Well, they don't carry that part because "it's not a US model". OK, I then ask for a back cover for the Tilt and she responds "We don't carry parts for OEM branded HTC devices". So I replied, "Great, why do you exist?" She replied "we carry very few parts". What a great company. So it's off to AT&T? I'm not thinking I'll get much love there...
So, I am now very interested in finding a source for the back cover that will ship to the USA.

hopefully the folks at www.cnn.cn will have them in the next couple of months. i purchased replacement casing for my Trinity and my Q from them in the past..

yeah, ive already called ATT, they dont have any extra parts for the tilt yet. i figured HTC would want atleast $45 - 50 for the piece ahh. im going to call them up today. thanks anyways guys

yeh
cnn has the largest range of spare part, and is one of the most reliable online stores, just send them an email, and they will try to get the items in as quick as possible.

Go to any service center and order the door they should have this part.I ordered in Romania and in 3 day they bring the piece ( original part OEM ) and cost 20 USD with VAT (TVA,tax).Not cheep but original part .

So any new regarding this? I'd be interested to know! And there are other threads showing how to "dismantle" the kaiser, we could do some Tutorial on how to proceed

It may be worth waiting for the mega capacity batteries that are too big to fit in the usual battery space. They usually come with a new extended cover.
That way you could kill two birds with one stone - better battery capacity and a free replacement battery cover.

im looking for one too, but a cover for the tilt with no camera.

If i could get my hands on a battery cover with no camera hole, i would do a dismanteling tutorial.

Found one "special order"
My phone fell and the little plastic cover on top of the camera broke. Tried to fix it but doesn't look nice. I just found a back door (special order), hopefully it will arrive in like 2 weeks not 2 months.

My Touchscreen is not responding! What Now?

Hi everyone, after 18mths my HTC Touch (Elf) touchscreen has stopped working! I did a soft reset and hard reset, but now in the hard reset it asks me to touch the screen to setup Windows Mobile, however I cannot do it as the screen does not work!
There is no cracks or even scratches as I use the screen protector. I have been reading about LCD's & Digitilizers, but cannot work out which one I need..
Can someone please help me. I want to buy a kit off eBay to repair it but not sure exactly what I need.
Any help will be great!
Do you guys think US$200 is a good price for a HTC Touch Duel with no scratches, as new ? I can buy one for this price, but have never used a dual, and would love my original htc touch to be fixed...
About mine:
- 18mths Old
- No scratches or damage
- Slight corrosion on the plastic where sim card etc goes, not internally but just on the mirror type plastic there is slight green corrosion but it can clean off easily.
- never been in water or anything like that!
Touch screen does not respond to touches anymore, this happened over about 2wks.. it started to not work now and again, then it switched off automatically a couple of times over that period... now it is not responding at all for about 10 days now!
I took to vodaphone and it is out of warranty, I am insured, but it is a load of bullcrap to get insurance, and even if you do you still need to pay a premium of between $150-$275 (AU$) so i might aswell either juszt pay to get it fixed or do it myself.
Cancelling Insurance on this phone ASAP, never getting insurance ever again, only for the first 12mths if phone is over $1000
insurance is lame, and only benefits if phone is lost or stolen.
cheers any1 that can assist me!

You need a digitizer, about $20 from eBay, easy to replace, just see Service Manual for HTC Touch. Better still if you'll get the entire front faceplate with digitizer already attached, simply because it makes your life a lot easier, all you'll need to do it connect the digitizer and assemble the unit.

thankx so much enigma1nz, i was thinking only the digitalizer was needed, but what is the diff between the lcd & digitalizer? I mean in functions etc.
thanku so much for ur time.
I will be ordering the replacement peices, do you think I should do myself or take to a repairer. I am tech savvy, I build PC's, replace RAM etc.. so it should be easy, yea?
cheers

LCD is the screen itself, it shows the information, digitizer is responsible for the touch function. It is relatively easy to replace, simply because the design of the device allows for direct connection with no soldering involved. There is a service manual with photos floating around somewhere, I think even on this forum. Just search for it.

Thanks Enigma1NZ, I actually got a pdf of the dissasemble guide for the htc touch, so should be perfect, I just ordered a digitizer off eBay for only AU$13.60 inc. delivery, so that is awesome!
I got a call from my insurance company today, they want $175 excess if the phone is 'approved' for insurance, plus they kill the imei number too, i told her not to worry and I'm cancelling insurance (already paid $180 all up).... damn rip off, maybe okay while in warranty, but otherwise I will not be making that mistake again!
I will keep ya'll updated, and will be videoing me pulling apart & replacing so I will upload it 4 others too.
P.S enigma, love ur photos posted in myspace.. nice work

I love Touch for the simplicity and straightforwardness of its build, I was surprised the housing was so easy and reasonably cheap to replace (I am thinking of getting mine in red...or purple...). The worst digitizer replacement has to be for 1-gen Iphone and LG Prada. Blasted capacitive screens are the way of the future though and are pleasure to use.
Thanks, i got you added. Let us know how you went. Insurance companies are a bloody rip-off artists playing on our insecurities. I deal with them often when it comes to repairs. Makes no sense to insure after a warranty period simply due to technology depreciaton - you end up paying more in excess than the device is worth at the time.

Yeah the phone looks fairly simple in its housing, I have played around with it a bit... I was actually seriously thinking about replacing my housing while I was in there to white, since I saw the Magic I love the whiteness! I would love a silver housing though, that is the ultimate but have only found white so far.
I will keep you'all updated here with photos 'n video with what I do change.
I was going to buy a prada actually, I think the screen and whole look is amazing, It was tempting but I am very satisfied I chose my touch over the Motorola Razr, Prada and Touch... Touch wins
Cheers again enigma1nz.

I heard LG screens lose sensitivity over time.

Hi, a friend of mine talked to me yesterday about his touch. It seems he has the same problem of the digitizer stoping to work.
Where can I find the service manual and do you know of a good place to buy the digitier?
Tanks!

There's a sticky topic at the top of this forum with several service manuals that you can use. As for buying the digitizer, ebay and dealextreme.com have them for cheap.

Hi... I need your help, I need to change my digitizer, so I want to know you ordered only digitizer or one already fixed on casing as Enigma told you ??
Pls let me know..Thanks

Get a Digitizer and fix em on.

Cacked screen :(

So yea, I dropped my phone the other daymad and cracked the screen(). Now the phone still works fine, registers touch perfectly, no distortion of colors or anything. Leading me to believe that its just the outer glass part that needs replacing.
Anyone know how much that would be? Should i even bother, or just try selling it? Appreciate any and all help.

Check ebay for replacement parts. I've seen screens on there b4.

This would be what you are looking for if the digitizer can easily be removed from your cracked screen.
http://www.cellulardr.com/G1FaceplateBlk.htm
Not sure what prices are like on ebay, might be able to find cheaper elsewhere. Does give you a starting point though.

taking apart the g1 is a beeeech, so be careful with that

yeah, I second that. I have taken apart a few and the one that I was the most careful with I fubared a ribbon cable.
But yes, the digitizer is all you should need. My digitizer broke in three places but still worked great, no bleeding (cause it wasnt the lcd) and exactly what you are describing. USE THE MANUAL!

THanks for the help, and all the quick replies. Ill look into taking it apart and if it worth it. If not ill just try selling it off to someone who is more capable.

Sell on ebay, buy on craigslist
I had a water damaged G1 which I just sold on eBay for $130, then bought a fully functional G1 on Craigslist for $175. So basically I replaced my phone for $45. The phone wouldn't even turn on, but people out there are buying for parts. A good deal considering a digitizer will run you at least $65.

Well I decided that i'm not gonna bother with it. Way too much trouble, so if anyone wants to buy it send me a PM. Thanks again guys.

Cracked Screen Repair?

Hi,
I have a NC that my youngest one dropped on the floor and put a hairline crack across the screen. Everything works still, except the top half of the screen doesn't respond to touch inputs. I can get around most everything in the menus by a combination of rotating to get to the button i need, but playing any games or browsing is impossible.
Is there any way to replace the NC screen? I've looked online and most everyone has recommended either just buying a refurbished one as a full replacement, or upgrading to something new. I've also seen a couple companies offering screen replacement service but at $110 it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do that when I can get a refurb for around that price.
So are there any other options? Could I get a parts one off ebay and swap screens? I know there are videos of disassembly out there.
If this was yours, what would you do?
I'll upload pics of the screen here in a little bit if that will help.
Thank you

If your nook is already out of warranty or still in warranty you can trade in your broken nook color for a new one just add $80-100 (I forgot the exact price). Benefits: comes with a new 1 year warranty and it' s new not a refurb :good:

Depending on when yours was made, this might work for you.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nook-Color-...ltDomain_0&hash=item2574093f33#ht_1857wt_1397
It's a replacement digitizer and LCD. Keep in mind that those seem pretty rare.

It says that its for anything made after Nov 2010. Which is when the NC was released. So it should cover all of them. I think you may have brought my toy back to life. Thank you!

[Guide]LG G2 screen replacement

The link:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IiqWDlefaI
This video is the how to on what you need to do in order to disassemble the G2 in order to remove the screen. There is a link provided for the reassembly in The video.
I was able to pick up a screen/digitizer/LCD from amazon for about 120. Make sure to pay attention to where it ships from. A lot of the sellers ship them from Asia and they take up to a month to come in. Mine came out of New York. Also the screen assemblies from OEM come with a kit with jeweler's screwdrivers and plastic pry devices in order to disassemble the phone or at least mine did.
Last in the video he uses a heat gun at some points. I did not need one throughout any of the process but may make it easier for you.
All in all I took me about an hour and a half to swap my screen out. Works like a charm.

Hi there. I just broke my digitizer, but the screen is fine. I read somewhere that you have to replace them both because they are glued together, do you know if this is true? I have a heat gun if that is needed to separate them. I would just like to purchase a digitizer only and replace that, to save about $60+.

yes you can get digitizer but if you make the slightest mistake you end up breaking the lcd and will have to replace them both

yea plus my advice is from personal experience I had already tried it and ended up paying more since I had to buy the lcd plus digitizer

Not sure what the price would be to just replace screen/digitizer. the part would run about 30 bucks, just not sure what a repair shop would charge for labor. If its over 150 though i would opt the DIY method as it is simple to do if you get a screen/digitizer/lcd all in one. I did it for 120 and some change. Mine also came with a tool kit in order to dismanlte the phone.

hi friend, i have a LG VS980 Verizon, Is it the same part for vs980 and d80x? in my country im only able to get D80x version of screen and sellers are not sure if the parts are compatible, I have seen several videos and pictures of the online stores of spare parts, and at first glance are the same connectors.

I couldn't vouch for that. A good place to start though might be to compare specs of each phone, V980 to D80X, specifically the display properties. Not sure but there may be a good breakdown out there of what the specs are for each, not just a dimension and pixel count.
