DROPPED PHONE, PART BROKE OFF! HELP!

I just dropped my phone because I was late for an event that I slept in for. The alarm on the phone went off two hours late and didnt turn off when I told it to! Panicing, I dropped it with my butterfingers. Anyways, there aer two white guides that are between the screen and main body that keep the screen aligned? Well, one of them fell off when I dropped it. I do not know how to remove the screen to put the guide back on, and I do not know if it is even necessary. Can someone please shed some light on the situation, and maybe laugh a bit at my butterfingers as well
I own the T mobile version of the htc wizard. I believe all OS info is useless for this situation
Kelzud :shock:

those white guides are like the track for the sliding function. I'm pretty sure it broke off and can't be put on, unless u use super glue.
Go get the disassembly guide from the FTP and flip through it and u can get a clearer picture of what those white things are.
Good Luck

Searching for someone who have dismantled his niki

Hi I have recently let my niki fall while the sliding sreen was opened. Since then I have noticed that the screen part of the phone move a little when the phone is closed. It's really unpleasant when you hold it closed in your hand because it's always moving and doesn't give you the initial sensation of rigidity...
I think I have bend the rail that the screen part usually follow and I wonder if there is an easy way to dismantle the two parts of the phone to rebend the rail properly.
We can see two cross-shaped screw behind the screen when the phone is opened I don't know what it holds so I'm asking for a handyman who have already dismantle his phone or had this kind of trouble and can tell me if the sliding rail is easily reachable and not too difficult to put the two part together again
(I have a bad experience in dismantleling electronic device and I know that it's often easy to dismantle but when you put it together again It's worth than before...)
Thank you for your help

why not send it to HTC assistance? the device is probably in its warranty and you don't need to worry about it

I have bought it on ebay, and althought it was said to be warranted, the warranty seal was tapped...
That's why I'm asking for your help :S

ow :s that's a problem :| sorry, I have no idea on how to help you

...
It's very easy to disassemble the NIKI the Display Part and the Other.
I will try to make a Video for u to do that, in the next Days.

It is actually very easy indeed, especially using Mike's tutorials
THe only slightly difficult bit are in getting the semicircular circuit out and back in when you take the whole thing apart but you dont really need to do this when replacing the screen. Dont be put off by the dissembly instructions which show you how to do this. When you have got the screen off, that it IT.
Lastly as others have commented, re-assembly of the keyboard to the base can be a bit tricky unless you are doing it quicly and remember exactly how it came off. I once broke an L shaped 'foot' which I insist mysteriously isnt shown on the YouTube tuturial.
You can even get the digitiser off the screen relatively easy, though there isnt much point in doing this as it isnt worthwhile getting a screen without a digitiser, nor does the digitiser often break before the screen does. (I DO have a Hermes which has a hole in the digitiser, which nevertheless does still work!)

Can this same flex cable be causing my phone to be constantly opening the phoneprogram?

Please help me with my HTC HD2

hi
i have HTC HD2 and its new device , i set down on the device then i notice a black point comes on the device screen , when i visit the HTC Delare , he told me that i have to change the screen ,
but the device is working 100% and no any damage ,
what can you advice me,
attached the picture of my HTC

dude im no expert but it happened to me once on my nokia and was told an LCD screen (liquid crystal display) may have a very fine crack in it and a bit of liquid may have come out...the only way to find out is when you press that black spot on the screen does it have a rainbow effect?

make sure not to make it worse by pressing it. must be lcd which is damaged from pressure.

There's a few threads on here where others have reported this exact thing happening to them. Some of them fixed it by applying suction to the screen, whilst it simply disappeared for some others.
Do a thorough search - it's on here somewhere.

so what can i do?
what can i do ? should i buy a new LCD? and from where can i bought it?

weird graphic issue

hey guys!
i really like you´re forum, it was helping me several times...
now i need you´re help again.
I think you will easily recognize that i have a bad problem with
my hermes - if you look at the attached pics.
The touchscreen is working, the device is booting too and is working nice...
but, uhm, well - i don´t know how to fix the problem shown in the pic.
I´d be really grateful if you can solve my problem.
I don´t know what to do, i just disambled it and cleand everything, i tried an hardreset... the problem´s still there. =(
Regards

We'll see what others think, but looking at picture 3, I'd say your LCD is cracked and the the liquid crystal seeping out a little under te digitizer layer. If I'm correct there is only one practical solution and that is a digitizer LCD combo replacement.
If you replace it be very careful to replace it with the correct one - Hermes had at least three different types and it is essential to get like-for-like.
There is a thread here about the different types.
Mike
One way to check if it's a crack is to place some pressure with your finger along that diagonal line - if you see odd colors moving around in a "liquid" way then it is pretty certainly cracked.

Ouch, i also think that, that is a crack.. Did you drop your device or something.? I think you really need to replace your display..

first of all: thx for the fast responses
i tried what you suggested to check if it´s cracked... unfortunately you´re right
i think a replacement would be too much efford and it also would be too expensive and risky... so i think i gonna buy a new pda... htc of course ;-)
thx to you all
