I recently had water spilt on my blackstone and as a result of taking it apart to dry it I damaged the ribbon cable on the power button. So it no longer works!
I have found the part in the blackstone service manual
but who do I contact to order it?
thanks!!
anyone? forgot to mention im in the uk.
HTC don't sell spare parts but you can contact them and ask.
An authorised service repair store may?
Damn, there ain´t really any parts to buy for Blackstone?
Really sad.
For example iphone you can buy and change everything.
I have that ribbon cable from China . It is for Bluetooth , wifi ,fm radio , camera and power button.

To cut a long story short, i dropped my xda2 in the toilet at work!
so went home and claimed it on my house insurance and i now own a lovely spvm2000 but im left with this xda2 thats been down the pan, the thing switches on and it all appears to work fine except its black listed, obviously coz i claimed on insurance so i will open it up and sling the pcb in the bin, unless anyone wants some componets from that, but i shall not be selling the phone complete or the pcb seperate. so for sale i have everything else here is a list of what i can think of
fully working screen with no scratches
houseing(scratched but back cover is fine)
4 styli (3 in original o2 retail pckaging)
all the box with instruction and sw cd
leather case
aluminium case (scratched)

hi everybody.
some weeks ago i bought a new casing for my trinity on ebay. as I had to open my trinity while on a long trip far away from home and htc tech support (the "hang up" button broke), i had already broken my guarantee. so i decided to change the casing myself. i managed to do that (it was not easy!!) and closed the casing and everything was alright, but some days later trinity started to have graphics issues. sometimes it hangs and the display gets kind of scrambled, when i reset it it posssibly doesn't show anything on the screen or it hangs during the boot, sometimes it helps simply shutting the device down and restarting, sometimes it helps pressing the left side of the casing (front and back casing elements) together.
what can that be? at the moment it works alright, but this is not ok for me. somebody with hardware know-how can tell me which part can be the "bad one" and what i can do to fix that? i don't want to pay the repair fee at htc tech partner, and i want to wait till the htc touch cruise is available to buy a new one!
thanks

Hi, I did similar thing...I assembled my trinity to change case to white. After the LCD did not work at all.
Of course service said, I broked garantee, and there is some problem with LCD cable plug.
what did the repair cost?
did you go to HTC? did they change the display plug?
it's a very subtle error in my case...
How To Disassemble HTC P3600
I also want to change my casing.
From what I hear ... this may be not such a good idea.
Hoever ... all I can help with is this disassemble manual for HTC P3600 (http://rapidshare.com/files/82751326/How_To_Disassemble_HTC_P3600__Trinity_.pdf.html).
Maybe disassembling, cleaning all the plugs and assembling it again can help (sounds stupid ... but who knows).
thanks ..
one of the problems with the casing i bought was that the metal counterparts of the screws were not(!) present in the new one. so i had to cut them out of the old one, heat them and press them into the new case. luckily, i had ordered two new casings (to change it again after some months when the grey/silver paint would have fell off till total aesthetic destruction - of this otherwise really slick phone - again), because trying to press that counterpart (don't know the word) without heating resulted in total damage
then I had hoped that not only the keypad, but also the electronics plate under the keypad (my "hang up" button still isn't perfect i have no "klicky" feel any more) would be included. no luck here.
so everybody please stay away from trying to change casings or any other hardware issue with your htc phones. i am opening my htc/qtek (before: s100, three units) phones for a longer time now and must say i will stop doing that and return to being a "normal" user. it all gets worse
thanks
I just remembered ... take a look at this site: http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
All the stuff looks genuine ... maybe this casing will fit you better and there are spare touch screens also.
P.S. White casing DOES NOT peel.

I went to E-care, the HTC support in Hungary. I was lucky, the expert repaired it free, but in the future there is no garantee
Lucky you ... there is HTC support where you live
my LCD screen broke.
I have replaced my LCD screen because it was cracked, the new screen does not even power up. I can hear wm6 running in the background but the digitizer nor the screen seem to be responding at all. If use the old screen it seems to work fine.
Any ideas or comments on how to get this new screen working?
btw, I have a gen1 htc p3600.

Always glad to help
In the middle of disassembling my Legend to replace a bad digitizer, I broke the ribbon cable connecting the power button to the PCB. I haven't reassembled it yet, but I can't see how it's going to work.

If anyone knows what the best way to repair this would be, I would be most appreciative. Thank you.
EDIT:
It seems this is the piece I need to replace.

Anyone know where I could go about finding one of these? The part number turns up nothing on Google.
I would find a service center and ask there, or I would solder it , it's just two wires....
But be sure you purchase a part with the ribbon cable on it, what I've seen it didn't look like it was there...
Good luck...
Called HTC service center. Unfortunately they don't sell parts direct.
I thought about soldering it, however the ribbon broke so close to the base that I am not sure I would be able to get access to the conductor.
Anyone have a trashed Legend that I could buy for parts?
Hello guys,
I can't believe in my ears and I would like to discuss this with you.
My HD2 has the usual "touch screen not responding" problem.
When I sent it back, htc told me that my touch screen needs to be changed and that this is part of the warranty that they will cover but there is an extra cost (actually bigger than buying the phone) for changing the main board which cannot be covered by htc because "plugging and unplugging the device in power has destroyed it".
Is this even possible or are they trying to just void my warranty?
I should tell you that my usb connector cable was working fine when I sent it to warranty!
Did you sent it with the battery included?
If so, then if the battery had a charge on it, then that would surely indicated that it had been charged via the USB.
Now if the USB went faulty at the same time as the touchscreen, then it must be a fault with the motherboard. Since they have admitted that they would fix the touchscreen problem as part of the warranty, then the motherboard must be fixed.
They designed the phone to use the microUSB connector to charge the phone and knew that the phone would have to be charged almost every day. So it is their fault, unless they can prove that you were extremely harsh at inserting and removing the cable.
no the battery was not sent with the phone.
They didn't tell me that the usb is defective. They just told me that the mainboard needs replacement for the new touch screen to work because the connector of the touch screen on the mainboard is destroyed because of the usb unplugging which is even more outraging!!
I have watched the disassemble of the hd2 and I can't seem to find out how the usb charging could screw the connector of the touch screen on the mainboard. I think they are not even close!
Are they playing me?
I don't know how the display and the micro usb connectors are placed, but, because what you're saying, I would definitively say that they're trying to cheat you, I don't know where you live, but I would try to reach the HTC service center in your country or zone (in case you didn't), their representatives tend to be not very "correct" with the customers, I sent my HD2 to repair in warranty (wifi plus uneven display retro-illumination) and it returned jusk like new, I taked to one of their representatives, but they send it to HTC's main offices here, I contacted HTC first and they told me excatly what to do and how to do it.
The workshop where I took my phone to be sent to HTC is well known to be not very "honest" and most of the people who take a phone, pda or whatever there, finish angry and deluded.
good luck then.
From what I've seen and read in recent threads, broken USB connectors don't affect the touch screen in any way.
I will talk to the representatives today in my country and inform you. I really think they are playing me. I can't seem to find any reason how the usb connector and the touch screen are linked
Ok I just talked to the representatives here in Greece and they seem to be the rudest I have ever met. So I called the global HTC service. The guys there were more than helpful. I decided to send the phone to United Kingdom.
So let's say that the phone comes back from HTC's service in the UK without charge and I have an official answer from HTC's service in Greece that this cost is not covered by warranty what can I do to let HTC know that the service here in Greece works awful?
Write down an email explainig in detail what happened and send it to HTC's main support with the UK support and the Greece support in CC and see what happen.
Cheers
HI all, I bought my HD2 just over a month ago on Ebay.. love the phone but just 2 days ago the screen started to become unresponsive.. I got angry pretty quick as I just spent $150 on this phone last month, I found a temporary fix which was just press the red end call button very hard to get my screen working again, it works but sometimes I have to do this 2-3 times a day and it just reminds me that this is only temporary and I should do something about it. My phone is out of warranty so and I found the flex ribbon cable very cheap on Ebay. However, I've NEVER repaired a phone befor. I can not for the life of me find a tutorial on how to fix the flex cable ribbon at all. I searched XDA but also could not find a tutorial on how to replace the flex cable ribbon, I believe I read that it wasn't that hard so I'm not too intimidated. I will also purchase the tools needed to do this on Ebay.
But does anyone know of a tutorial on how to replace the flex cable ribbon? Keep in mind I've never repaired a phone befor or anything really. I don't think it will be that hard if I have some pictures or a video though. If you could PLEASE help me I will be internally grateful as my only other option is to buy a new phone and I'm in a terrible position to do so at the moment. Thank you
Your problem is digitizer & cable to LCD.
Digitizer is not that expensive & comes with cable as not separable.
For someone with no experience the HD2 can be hard to repair.
First you need to know what version LCD DIGI you have as have a clip socket version or solder version.
Loads of info & tutorials on XDA & many sad tales of more problems caused during the repair.
You may be better selling as is for repair but if decide to try yourself read up & ask first rather than after & take extreme care ...
