I replaced the screen on my 02 Orbit, but it still wouldnt work,
I then noticed there's actually 2 types,
One has the hole on back of screen in the middle
the other has the hole on back of screen at the side
The one on my Orbit had the hole at the side and I replaced it with
the new one but that had the hole in the middle,
Does anyone know if these 2 screens are interchangable or will I now
have to look for the other type of screen
hope that makes sense to someone
For whats its worth the new screen worked fine, it was the power button
that was the problem,
Its just that some sellers said that the orbit had 2 different screens (which it does) but you had to get the right one for your device
Technically i think that the difference is... O2 Orbit.. has a diffrent screen than HTC Artemis.. Though no major difference.. ITs just my opinion..

i got a new exec 3 days ago after my first one packed up and have noticed that the new exec is different, it feels lighter, the battery seems to last longer and there are more grooves and holes. under the screen there are 2 holes to stop the screen from spinning to far. Does anyone else have these or am i the only one the have a new design exec?
i also noticed a hole under the sim card that wasnt there before, does anyone know what its for? its on the left of the red clip that holds the battery and on the left of the clip that holds the back case on
sry for the bad quality

lol i thought it was just mine.
i got mine about a week ago (old one got a crack screen, thank you insurance! ) anyhow the screen rotation is alot tighter and more of a robust feel to it. I also seem to have more program memory after a soft reset (possibly the new ROM update) either way i think my screen breaking (broke by itself might i add) has turned out to be for the better. 8)
oh and I'm sure the spring metal clip thingy under the back case (your second pic) wasn't there before.
the case comes off so much easier/quicker than before! (not that it needs to come too often lol)
Thanks for the reply.
Im glad im not the only one, but these changes are definately for the better.
Keyboard backlight
I have also just received a new Exec and I note:
* O2's UI crap doesn't run by default and I was able to easily remove it.
* There is no obvious keybaord backlight. Has it been removed?
* The backlight switch on the front edge doesn't do anything. Have I missed something?
* Before I removed the O2 software, there was a Task Manager application. Now that I have removed the O2 stuff, it has disappeared. Is it part of the O2 suite?
* I have installed GPRS Monitor from the CD. It seems to record traffic via Wi-Fi as well GPRS. Can anyone confirm this?

The keyboard backlight uses a light sensor so it only comes on when its dark, you can disable the sensor if you go into start>settings>buttons>backlight and un-tick 'enable keyboard backlight auto sensor.
As for the backlight button, mine never worked, not on the new one or the old one unless i installed a hack to enable it.
I dont know about the gprs monitor as i dont use it.
About the task manager, i dont know about that either as i use spb pocket plus.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Thanks for the information.
the new redesigned exec
Guys, Now you have owned these redesigned execs for a while , how are they holding up? do they still suffer from wearing shing spots on the housing and keyboard? or are there new problems now...lol??
everything seems to be ok, i use a silicone case so i dont know if the spots still happen. Although the screen seems to be tighter, its not as loose as my old one which became very loose after the first few months. Other than that everything seems to be perfect
New Execs
After checking with my son who has an Exec for many months, I conclude that there have been no noticeable changes. Everything I though was odd about mine such as:
non-working camera
no keyboard backlight
backlight button not working
turn out to be respectively:
firmware problems (reloaded ROM & the camera worked fine)
it really needs to be very dark before the keyboard backlight comes on - which it does
the backlight button doesn't work on older Execs either[/list]
Hmm, I must have an in-between model. The hole and the clip are present, but not the bits under the screen.
And I thought I was the only one getting shiny spots on the casing. Can they be removed?
I got my Atom last night...updated it to the Atom Exec ROM 20060614 and it is absolutely FANTASTIC! I love the speed, the brilliant camera (when outdoors), the audio quality and volume and the really bright, sharp screen.
Only problem is that I woke up today and noticed that the screen has a *very* slight blemish that looks like moisture (looks like oil on glass). When you tap around it, it spread VERY quickly around that point but disappears once u let go. It is not visible when the screen is on but is visible once screen is off. It is very hard to see but better safe then sorry.
I have a screen protector but I have confirmed that it is not from the screen protector (removed it and looked)... any ideas? Should I send it back for repair/replacement now? or wait and see if it gets any worse? It doesn't affect the touchscreen at all.
better return.
It is not moisture. It is oil leakage :twisted: Of course it is not due to the ROM update
Had it on my original Atom after one month. It was replaced when I took it for servicing. You better race to the service centre :twisted: :twisted:
Oh man that sucks. Theres a service center in Australia but its a loong way away from here. I'm gonna send it back to the shop and get it replaced. Is this a repeat thing?
Has it happened to u since? Any idea how it occurs?
Never happened again since.
Before you send it back to the shop remember to put back the Atom ROM otherwise they will have a nice excuse not to replace it :twisted:
In my case I thought I might have applied too much pressure when fitting the screen protector (that is the only thing I could think of then) and so I have not put one on the replacement Atom (which thinks it is an Atom Exec :roll: ) :lol:
Yeah ill put the old rom back on. It wouldn't have been from too much force when putting on the screen protector coz i was real gentle putting it on...but I may have leaned on it while sleeping.
Just want to know how long u have had ur Atom since it was fixed/replaced?

Almost 3 months (next week)
screen moisture
well i had this same issue.. about 1x1 inch hollow...and its mainly caused if the screen is pressed or rubbed too hard.. i tried to move it by pressing gently from its sides but in vein.
eventually after some days, to my surprise, i gently tried to move it from top to bottom of the screen and kept on forcing it downward, it squeezed its size to a tiny 1 mm bubble and moved its way automatically to the bottom and vanished.
So, things do happen i must say keep it with u for another 1 week and try my trick... hopefully it will do.
I have that problem on my Atom Exec for more than a week, where should I send it to get it repaired? I also have a high pitch noise comming from the screen.
Same problem
I bought mine in HKG and after 2 weeks got the same problem, i was sure its moister falke but already 1 month passed and nothing, its stay on the same place and same size.
I am pissed off paying so much money and have this **** problem.
I bought it from Hong Kong also, where should we send it to get it fixed?
There is a Working Solution
I have tried the suggested solution that was offered by farrukhmustafa and belive it or not it WORKED !!! The blemish big 1" i had over my ATOM EXEC was amazingly dissapeared totaly.
I just did what was wrote in the thread from farrukhmustafa, i gently pressed the screen moving the mouister down lower left side and it complety dissapeared.
Look at the attached picture how it was before i tried this magic, and after it was totaly dissapred.
Try it - Things are do working.

If you won't loose your Warrnty so let it repair in an repaircenter.
Im a blackberry guy (not a fanboy, I just own one) but I just recently got a broken MDA from a friend of mine. I have not had a chance to turn it on to see how well it works (battery is dead and no charger), but, there is a crack on the screen. My friend says it will turn on (dont know what it looks like; again), but it wont align. I dont know if she means it works fine OTHER then that, or if the crack is visable , or if the LCD is trashed looking or what, but onto my point.
On the back it says Wiza200. Does this mean its a MDA 2? Im lost when it comes to identifying this MDA. Its the T-mobile version (unless thats obvious, once again, im new, give me a break) and what Im looking to do worst case scenario is replace the LCD. I already found the guide how to take it apart and reassemble, but im still shopping for a LCD. Can someone point me in the direction of cheap replacements?
you can get a good oem replacement screen and digitiser (touch screen thingy bit) from ebay quiet cheep but you need to know which generation of wizard it is as they have different cables.
or you can send it to one of the various companies on the internet (like i have) for a screen to be fit for like £65 gbp.
How do I check which generation I have? Or is that unknown til I see the back of the LCD screen?
that you can tell kinds by the colour of the ribbon cable.
If i remember -if its yellowy/orange ribon then its a gen2 screen other then gen 1.
you should just be able to make out the cable colour when you slide the keyboard out and look between the gap from front screen to keyboard.
someone correct me if im wrong.
Hello people... I'm a unlucky guy who bought a alignment trouble hermes... 200...
So... I've fixed the alignment problem, first, putting a little piece of card (the sim card rest), after oppening it, and putting some doubled-face ribbon, as shown in other thread here.
After it, I had to buy one new screen, because I've [email protected]$%$%$#@#ed the botton connection on the screen, whit the fu#$%#%@%#ing piece of card. . Its life. Some wins, some losts...
I'll try to fix the blank screen now, and I believe I'll have some success, but... Until now, I've done a lot of things, and my housing is completely broked.
Do you guys know what king of housing can I put in this hermes? I've found a lot of housings, but they seams to be diferents. My Hermes is like the one in the first page of this forum (this one). It could be a little idiot, but I'd like to find it black too.
They seams to be diferent of this one.
Can I use any? The d-pad seams to be diferent.
Thanks,
hey i dont know if you still need this info, but the differances ie. D-pad buttons ect all should be cosmetic should not matter at all you can make any Hermes housing work the only exception would be a housing/phone that is a at&t 8525 cingular/at&t left the vga cammera off so that housing would not have the hole for the camera on the front and that phone would not need the hole from another housing
