i got a good deal on a hermes lcd, im going to put it in my deadscreen'd wizard.
however its touchscreen is incompatible, so how do i replace it. it looks soldered to the lcd flexcable, but maybe you guys know some tricks?
thanks, any help is apperciated.
Are you sure the Hermes LCD is compatible with a Wizard?
Right now I'm looking to my disassembled Wizard's LCD, and, honestly, it will require some pretty meticulous job the solder a new touchscreen.
What do you know about LCDs? I was thinking about putting a bigger one on my Wizard.
Cheers

I just replace the LCD touch from imate jamin on my qtek 9100 and the touch digitizer it is not solider to the screen but is glued to it so for to remove just the lcd touch use a scalper or a small screwdriver and remove the flex slowly after u do that take a duck tape and put over the new lcd screen and the touch flex i hope it will help it worked for me.
If u have any question feel free to ask.

It is compatible with qtek 9100/imate jamin/htc tytn 1 and i don't think that u can put bigger screen becouse of the flex cable.

Anyone replaced their own Jam lcd/touchscreen? I'm thinking of getting a replacement screen off ebay for $100. It doesn't look all that difficult, but I want to make sure it's not harder than it seems to do a self-replacement.

Hi nvrnuff,
Opps, I didn't notice there is a replacment screen and already order a Eten M600. Can you please reply back yr end result if you will buy the replacement screen.
Hey nvrnuff,
Are U breaking the LCD (the display) or the DIGITIZER GLASSTOP(the touchscreen sensor) like me. I just found out they are 2 seperate things from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51395&highlight=lcd after research
Answering my own question:
Jack, it doesn't matter with the Jam. They're all one assembly. Even PPCtechs can't replace only one or the other on this device; they always replace the whole assembly, LCD and touchscreen both. But I know what you mean, and yes it is possible to have a working LCD and broken touch or vice versa.
Second, I recently replaced my Jam housing and found that the LCD/touchscreen assembly is remarkably easy to replace IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH DISASSEMBLING THE JAM. For more information on that, read the "Jam housing" thread. I posted there about that whole process on page 3.
Hi all
Do you know places where I can find broken Hermes ?
I have to try to replace some pieces but thinking about it ; it may be better and less expensive for me to use some old broken phone ??
Nothing like that on ebay ; in fact I don't know if such a website exist so if you have some hints or if you were going to garbage your old one...
Happy New Year for ya all.
I have a herm200 thats fried out. What components are you looking for? I may be able to help. PM me if your interested.
I also have some spares, I made my Hermes out of 3 broken phones!!
let us know what you need.. sure someone will have it...
Cheers
Steve
I really need a mainboard for the Hermes if any one has one
Anyone got a herm100 housing in good nick?
I would like an HERM200 Mainboard as well. Mine still works, but there's a short circuit in it because of water damage which not only drains the battery but also disables the rear speaker
I don't care what version of the HERM200 it is, as long as it fits and works in the TyTN casing!
Southeastblue. I have a herm200 housing set thats in pretty good condition. I don't know if that helps considering you said a herm100.

Really?
and i wanna a housing for my Herm200...
could u tell me which version/style of your Herm200 housing?
thanks!
Would any of you happen to have the ribbon cable that goes from the back of the LCD to the Dpad.
Im having issues with white screen and am thinking this might be the issue.
This is the exact plastics that I have.

Was wondering if its possible to rebuild the Hermes using the tilt housing for the lcd from a Kaiser? When i had the Kaiser it wasn't that different from the Hermes in terms of shape and size so am i right in asuming the insides would match? Ideally what i'd do is just replace the LCD housing for the tilting one, retaining all the original Hermes parts exept for the tilt mechanism.

IMHO if you start trying to do that you will regret ever starting it. OK they are roughly (I do mean roughly) the same size, but every screw hole will be in a different position, the detailed parts like switches, flex cable connectors, holes for connectors, camera etc etc are not in exactly the same positions and to be honest it would probably be easier to manufacture your own casing (as daft as that sounds).
Personally I think it's a fantasy that can never be!

Somehow possible
Hi!
I have managed to rebuild my HTC TYTN with black centre housing with a black 8525 housing and smaller front keypad.
Now its all black, but it lacks the tilt function on the kaiser.

Its not that entire screen section i want to use, just the hinged sliding mechanism. The casing itself is different and i doubt it would fit right anyway.
On the Hermes you've got the 2 sliders that screw into the casing with the 4 screws. Surely the ones on the Kaiser are the same but with a hinge to allow the tilt?
I'm gonna go digging around for a Kaiser disassembly manual. There's one on the Wiki i think.
Cheers guys.

I'm afraid the mechanism is very different. There is a double coil spring mechanism in the TyTn II. You'll see it in the Manual, but seriously and I don't say this lightly, IMHO it's not a workable idea, there are no sliders like you have on the Hermes. There is no spare space in the Hermes. The entire hinge part on the TyTn II is a part of the Keyboard casing so you would need that part and the screen section contains the double coil spring, so you would need that section as there is no spare space in the Hermes to fit it. So in other words you would need the complete Kaiser casing. That then leaves you the impossible task of fitting the Hermes circuitry into a complete Kaiser casing.

Ah ****, i forgot about that. Not to worry, it was just an idea. Might try getting hold of a dummy device and fabricating something, though i doubt i'll make the time and effort for it. Heh

I got my htc off ebay and the screen is a little scratched, it doesnt effect use at all but i was wandering if it were possible to replace just the front plastic layer and not the whole screen?

Yes it´s possible
But first to know what HTC you have?
This section called Universal does not means all HTC devices, it´s a model!!
Orange SPV M5000 / HTC Universal.
Are we talking about screen protector? Then just buy another one and apply.
If we are talking about digitizer, it's a part of the screen that is responsible for the touch function. That part is better replaced by an experienced technician, and I take it, you are not an experienced technician.
The alternative is to replace the entire LCD unit.
It looks like it's integral to the unit but is definitely plasticcy and not glass-like like i'd expect the front of an LCD to be, guess it must be the digitiser. Replacing any part of it shouldnt be a problem i've soldered and hacked smaller devices before, guess it'd just be getting hold of the part cheaply that'd be the problem.

Not a problem to buy a digitizer at all, they are just a few bucks on eBay. Just make sure you know what is involved before you do. Good luck.
Found some on ebay, will read up on the procedure before I take the plunge, thanks for the tips

You had better read the following dialogue...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3906555
I ended up having to obtain a whole new screen+digitizer. Soldering is not the issue - it's the way you do it! Be warned.
I've put the dialogue together on the Wiki here
Hello, can somebody help me ?, One day my hd2 fall on the floor and my digitizer crash, after that phone works well i had only few cracks on the sreen, 2 months later my phone fall second time but only from low-altitude on the floor. and my lcd stop work phone only vibrate and boot sound works but the lcd is black.do you think is somethink wrong with lcd or with motherboard ??? thanks a lot
It is the LCD, it has stopped working. Your digitizer may have stopped working too but you have no way of knowing this though as the LCD is not working. You can get a replacemeant digitizer and LCD that are already connected to repaiar it with. Do a search or have a good look through the threads in the back pages here and you will find a good bit of threads on people that have done this and go to Youtube and have a search there as it is some great DIY videos on doing this on there.
my digitizer gone away in first crash i dissamble it and best place for buy is ebay ? everything here is CE china export D

Yeah ebay will probably be the best place to get replacement components. And just a tip the Euroupean HD2 and T-Mobile HD2 replacement digitzer and LCD combos will fitt in either version of the HD2. But the T-Mobile ones do not have to me soldered to the main board and the Euroupean ones do have to be soldered. Now I do not know if the connector on the ribbon of the T-Mobile ones will be able to plug in to the Eroupean ones as i do not know if they have the resiprocating connector on the main board of the Eroupean models.
i have european version(non-us) P/N 60H00295-00P with ribbon wich need soldering digitizer so i look on ebay.but still i have care about motherboard:/

Not true!
T-mobile touch is connected to LCD through small connector and European version HD2 touch have to be soldered to LCD, but BOTH versions of 'LCD+touch combo' are connected to M/B through connector, no soldering is needed at all!

You may just be right my friend, it does look as if they both have the connector for the Main board. The combos come with the LCD and the digitizer already together, so yes there is no need for soldering. I was under the impression it was not his way. I will do further checking into this later as I just pulled up like 10 different sites but none show a picture that is conclusive enough for me to say for sure but good catch there pvii.

More of that, cable and connectors have the same size and pin nimber, seems that they are interchangeable (LCM+digitizer assembly of course). Motherboards have the same size and shape too, NAND is the only difference I could observe.
