Hi all,
Last night the ribbon connecting the LCD to the mainboard snapped. I was wondering if anyone knows a cheap parts supplier who is either in or would ship to the UK, or better still someone who has a Hermes for spares who would send a flex cable my way.
From what I gather repairing my current one is out of the question.
I've seen this on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/ebayhermes
I assume this would do the job for me? I have a HERM100 (Orange SPV M3100)
After fixing the white screen issue upteen times I feel confident enough stripping the Hermes down to do the repair, if it's viable to do so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Edit: Ok, so from a little looking around it seems I have to choose from one of 2 connectors, black or gold. I see very little difference between the two.

My LCD connector looks more like the 'black' one, though they are very similar. My flex cable is broze/golden coloured. Is there something really significant I can use to confirm 100% which mine is? Mine is 'Toppoly' tagged at the top, if that matters.
Just to add - I remembered I have a Wizard (I-mate K-JAM) knocking about at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. I found an ebay auction for flex cables for the Hermes that also lists it as Wizard compatible. So would the flex from my Wizard possibly be compatible with my Hermes?
Does the same 'black or gold' rule apply?
If so I'll have to trash the room later to find the old Wizard!
If you look at the large chip board on there you will notice yours will match one of the layouts the componats on them are layed out difrentley that should let you know which is yours.

My less than 4 month old unit experienced the white screen syndrome (blank white screen with some occasional orange lines)
the unit has been opened by a technician and he is pointing the problem to FLEX cable but they dont have much experience repairing HTCs, only NOKIAs.
Biggest problem is the flex cable cost like US$100-150 on ebay now.. after reading thru XDA-Devs, i noticed some indication of LCD problems..
can anyone give me insight if this is more of a LCD problem or FLEX problem.. some symtoms includes:
GREEN ON light on top is active, but CALL D Pad and HANG UP buttons are not lighting up and fuctioning.. the unit still starts Windows Mobile and still beeps and buzzs without any problems..
Heres the photo of the unit.. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.. thanks!

There are existing threads on this, here for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
Very briefly on this complex issue:
1
Not likely to be the LCD
2
Could be the flex cable between screen and D-Pad
3
Can be the actual connector not seated well at the D-Pad. It has two screws (tiny) and MUST be seated absolutely flat and must be neither loose nor over tightened.
4
It can also be components on the D/Pad board that are faulty
5
Recent reports also suggest that in some cases it may be faulty capacitors on M/Board.
So NOT an easy one to track down.
Closing this thread as threads exist - but don't expect a definitive answer - some suggestions here and there MIGHT work for you.

Hi guys. Need help here. My ipaq won't charge even with te original usb cable.
It seems that the usb port is damaged - it charges only when i put a piece of paper in the mini usb connector so the pins of the connector are pressed against the ones on the usb port on the device. I guess they use too soft pins and they got deformed. Can anyone help me fix that. My device has no warranty.
I don't know if it is easy to change but this is what you have to buy :

Yep. That's the part. I found it later after I wrote the post. I guess I'll have to make a paypal account after all. Thank you thouugh. In the local service center they said they will fix it fo 15USD but I have to provide the spare part.
Any idea why this part has broken down? Is it possible to fix it without repacing it?
it sounds like either the small clip inside the USB port has snaped, or bent.
If its snapped, then theres very little holding it on so best to get it replaced
If its bent, then it may be possible for you to bend it the other way so it makes a stronger contact tot he USB plug. It will still be weaker than originally.
I have the exact same problem. The weird thing is that it still syncs and I can use WM5torage. I got around it by buying a cheap extra battery + external battery charger combo.

Looking at that one specifically. My tilt has a bunch of chip/scratch marks on the shell. It is also crooked when the slider isn't open (the face goes down more than it should, not sure why). I want to sell the phone to get a new HTC, so I'm planning on buying the kit and pretty much making it seem as new as possible. Good idea?

They do not give enough info from the site to know if this is complete (battery cover, backing, front face, new key board, and new call/end key pad). I bought a screen from them and they customer support SUCKS!! The screen had a red dot and they basically told me to F-off. So I would stay away from that site. I did find a complete housing form e-bay for the same price, got it and now my tilt looks brand new. Look up "AT&T tilit full housing" on eBay. That way you see exactly what you are getting:
Remeber some are just front and back covers, others are the entire setup.
This is just the front and back cover

I bought a Note on eBay with some water damage with the hope of fixing it. Works perfect except no signal. Found this:

I've replaced this with a new board. Luckily it only cost $9 on eBay.
Still no signal, so look further under microscope at work. Find a capacitor blown/missing from the board (C240):
(Click for full size)
It's not listed in the component parts list from the service manual. On the board layout it's highlighted green but I can't find what this indicates.
Does anyone know how else I might be able to find out this value?
I'll be lucky if it's only the cap that's damaged and not any chips hanging of that circuit but it's worth a try.
On second thoughts, green may indicate an optional component. Some other components marked green are missing from my board.
Back to the drawing board
It recognises my SIM card but I just get no service.
Service Manual troubleshooting points to U300, the main baseband chip, which would make sense. Unfortunately it looks to be a BGA so not easily removable.
A long shot, but if anyone has any thoughts they would be much appreciated.
Did you ever fix the phone? I have similar issues with water damaged gt-n7000. No signal but recognises the sim card and baseband processor (u300). Also the rf path looks good all the way to the antenna etc...
Nah, sorry. I ended up selling it as it appeared to have more serious damage, likely an IC on the mainboard.
Hello Everyone,
So, I've bought a new logic board for my XT1563.
But, I think I forgot to attach some component, I see the screen lightning, the computer recognizes the phone, but I can't see anything.

The only missing part is the one that I've a red rectangle marked on the picture. I can't figure out how to remove this component from the old board and how put it on the new board. Someone knows how? Is this the cause for the display do not shows anything?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english
Speaker? If similar to the Pure/Style, I think it just lifts out and is held in with some adhesive?
All ribbon cables properly seated to the display?

Yes! It's the speaker sticked with glue. I heated a little bit and sucesefull removed it from the board.
So, that's not the cause from the display not working properly. The board is damaged and I asked for refund.
Thanks!
I need to buy it!

Fiendaju, can you help me with one issue? Where did you bought this Logic Board (site)?
where you bought your board I need one too, and it's 32GB?
