hi guys.
Okay. About 5 or 6 months ago i cracked the screen on my wizard. The phone pretty much hasnt been touched since then. I ordered a new screen and recieved it yesterday. I opened up my wizzy-wiz today and then proceeded to change the screen. I finished up with that, closed it up, and now...NOTHING HAPPENS.
Im thinking it could be one of two things...
1. I screwed something up internally.
2. ISA DED BATRY.
So, im kinda just wondering...are there any little tricks i shouldve known about before cracking it open...or fwat.
Im at a loss. All of these pretty new roms you guys are cooking up. They look SOOO TAZTY. Plus...im tired of my i617.
Any help would be awesome...especially if you have done an LCD change out before.
THANK YOOH.
did you buy the right screen?? there are 2 models of screen for the wizard
also does the charge light appear when plugged in?
Nevermind.
It was totally the battery. I got a new battery and all is good.
Thanks anyway.

Hi all
About 4 weeks ago my XDA 2 was out of Battery and i wanted to charge it in the craddle. But when i put the XDA 2 in my craddle (with attatched power supply) the status led only turned RED and nothing else happend. After 30 minutes the status led turns off. I can not power on the xda, not with a soft reset and even not with a hard reset. So i thougt that the battery is maybe dead (too old or whatever ) and i bought a new one....but..... still the same problem!
When i charge the battery directly in the craddle (that works! led on the craddle changes after a few hours from orange to green) and put it after that back into the XDA 2.......... nothing happens....
please help
Hi,
I have the very same problem since month ago, I upgraded to wm2k5 2.03.32wwe, did a change in the system, and after 24h, my phone went dead
Did you do a rom upgrade or in any way altered something in the system? Let us know if you get it work, ok?

The only ROM Update i made was the official one from O²... And this was half a year ago.
Well but..... I SOLVED IT! But i cannot say how... The only thing i've done is that i opened the XDA2 and deconstructioned it in its parts... Well and when i "just for fun" tried to connect the battery to the battery connectors..... DING DING So i assembled it again and now it works fine!
I also cleaned a lot of dirt out of it, maybe this was the reason. I will keep an eye on this...
But thanks for your efforts...
Greetings Ben
Da*n it, you lucky guy,
I wish I get off with such a simple solution. I do not have the right tools but I am out just now and getting the things I need. Fingers crossed
Red light means, you have problem with battery. At first check, if you have closed red lock on the bottom of battery. There is no switch to sense rear cover, so, it doesn't matter, if it put or not.
If battery is installed, lock closed, but you still have red light - try to obtain for a minute working battery from another Himalaya and have a try. If it does not work too... seems it's a hardware problem there.
Same thing happened to me I just took the battery out and left it for a few minutes then back in and it works

Thanks for your reply guys. I've tried everything you guys suggested, but I've been unsuccessful in starting my PDA. It's been like this for 2 months, I've tried taking out the battery, changing the battery etc, but still nothing. So I figured out it's probably a problem with the b/l mode, since I'm unable to enter b/l at all. I gave it to of mine who's a little more tech savvy, he's got the right tools to take the chip out, and if he can manage to flash the b/l. Has anyone done that. If yes, please advise. My friend has fixed some BIOS's for laptops etc, but this will be his first PDA. He said that he doesn't have a board for the PDA chip but will try to work it out some way around. Perhaps someone can advise me where to get that board from?
Anyway, I will keep you posted,and if you guys have any more ideas or experiences, please share.

Hi all,
Ok well today i turned on my phone to discover it was a little white, i waited and it went away, then 5 minutes later came back worse etc etc, now its whitish all the time with ocasional bits or normality.
I searched the forum and it said to hard reset, which i tried, i then tried upgrading my rom (which im guessing installs a new rom, i used tmobile upgrade tool from my old imate)
And still nothing has worked, is my phone now messed up for good? is it hardware? is it worth looking into replacing the LCD? if so is this easy?
thanks in advance
ok so this is obviously hardware related, the full new rom has done nothing.
Is it worth taking it apart and wiggling/cleaning any relevent connectors?
After waking up this morning, getting ready and grabbing me phone before I take the nippa 2 school, I hold down the power button to switch it on and get a brief flash of the orange led and a flash of white from the screen and then nudda! not a blip, take the battery out and put it back, again nothin! Tried charging it again (had been on charge all night mind) again nothin, didn't even register I'd plugged it in. Last dying effort, time for a hard reset, again to my surprise, nothing! It had officially died. T-Mobile no questions asked, replaced my phone on the spot without even having to check my one and I am using it now. I swear it is faster! I also swear it had a different boot up procedure when it did the tmobile configuration. I'm happy that all the keys work and I think the slide feels a bit more sturdy on this. Anyone else had any replacements?
i work in a t-mob shop, i got a bit sick of the screen alignment issues ( even backed off the screws on teh back of teh screen and still got issues sometimes )
so i swapped mine and yeah no issues so far, havent felt it getting so damn HOT as the last one. although today i did have the keyboard stop working til i reset....
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
which shop do u work in maybe some of the users on this forum having trouble with their devices could nop down to ya for a replacement...
regards

Can you imagine the hassle he would get if he lets us know where he works? I work for Carphone Warehouse and we get enough hassle as it is lol!

Hi there,
I got a T-mobile MDA for almost a year now. The housing of it is actually a terrible seeing, therefore i had ordered on ebay a housing and got i today by mail. Happily i opened the mda, using the manual of this website and removed everything step by step and installed the new housing.
But here it comes. Everything is installed, turn on the sing louds of a soft reset and the screen doesn't displayes anything. I tought it was my mistake, that i might forgot or had not plugged something the right way in the MDA. Once again i opened it and checked everything, but without succes. The screen does only shows some strange lines with no light, it's verry strange. Can someone help me? It has to be fixed as soon as possible! Thnx in advance
no replies huh? what did it turn out to be if u fixed it, i dont thinkill get replies too..
It's either you have the wrong type of screen or some loose connection.
tsk i upgraded the radio version after i fixed my phone to work variably better from when i got it (upper right screen tap). i was so happy it was stable because i went through 4 sleepless nights fixing this thing and trying everything (hours of testing). i plug it in my usb and happily transferring files. i leave it plugged and the bugger is working. perfect. my apps. no problems. reading ebooks too.
i come back decide to see what the fuss about the radio is so i decided to upgrade to the file HERM_Radinly_1.43.00 ... after successfully loading, not for long about 5 more mins plugged poof! disconnect sound. lcd faded. phone fried no red light when plugged. have two batteries so it's not the batteries. not the connections either. nothing. dead. tsk... and i was so excited.
so warning. and if anyone knows why. why? thinking i fried something inside gonna change capacitor to see. tsk tsk htc hermes take my karma away and leave my coming new tytn II alone!
oh and btw im using herm 200.
x01ht softbank unlocked. lousy.
Oh and anybody know what serials have rlod on...tytn II? too tired to read ive read so many posts. so sorry guys and girls i have to ask. i know it's out there but just need sleep now. 5 am
oh and to add. i put my phone into hell and disassemblies countless of times and it still works. damn radio was its death.
