so i thought about replacing the housing on my wing with black house like one found here (http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-wing-black-housing-p-4828.html) (ebay has it cheaper) and i was wondering if there is a good guide somewhere to use, or should i make one?
I did the same thing with my wing. I have the black housing with the HTC logo instead of the t-mobile blue. The guides I used to take everything apart are below. One pictorial and one video made for replacing the LCD digitizer but every step is needed to replace the housing. I am not sure if there is a step by step process here on XDA so feel free to start a guide if you wish. Here are the links:

thanks man, if/ when i do it ill be sure to make a guide. where did you get your housing from?
Your welcome,
I purchased my housing from eBay. The cost was about $20 US cheaper than that link, just as you suspected. Same housing, same rubberized feel you have with the OEM blue housing; it looks very sharp when you have it all put together. Good luck with the guide. Make sure you post up a link when you put it all together.
depending on my pay check i may order the housing this week. i need to get my digital camera back before i can make my guide. you can check out the one i made for the tmobie dash to know what kind of work to expect.
already got one on watch on my ebay
ive been looking into this almost since i bought my wing. had the thing apart several times already, but i cant find a site that sells it with the black face buttons. might look sinda dumb all black w/ blue buttons.
anybody know who's got em?

My 2 weeks old Kaiser slipped from my hands and the LCD broke !! I am looking for a good repair shop in Belgium or any links from which I can procure a new LCD screen real fast! Any pointers would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if the LCD screen is covered under the HTC warranty ??
whipout ur htc carepack, call the number nearest you. They probably would fix it for you for a small charge. Keep in mind, repair shops aren't htc specialists.... So my suggestion is that you contact htc and see what they can do for you.
i feel for you :{
my girlfriend just got her LCD cracked from a roller coaster (stupid safety bars). probably going to take a few weeks for us to get a replacement screen since they don't even sell the kaiser here.
she keeps subconsciously trying to touch the screen on her interm dumb-phone... and sighs.
do it yourself! buy a replacement screen on ebay, and look for replacement instructions on this forum
how easy does the screen crack if you drop it? just for arguments sake shouldn't the phones be able to sustain a reasonable drop? After all you are constantly using it in your hands so it is likely you would drop it at least once.

Well, I've taken up a hobby of repairing all makes/models of phone that I can get parts for, so I'd be exceptionally grateful if you could provide some info as to WHERE and HOW you get them so cheaply....
TIA!
there are a few shopping mall in china that sell only spare part for pc, mobile phones and all micro electronics part.
and because most of the oem and third party parts are all made in china, its always cheaper to buy from there, I travel to china a lot, and in search for some parts, I did come across some tytn II parts.
but then you need to live in china or hong kong just like me, so you can go back and forward.
I can also let you know that only micro electronics parts and mobile spare parts are cheaper in china, PC stuff are cheaper in hong kong, as well as back up service.
you need to go to wha qheung ( my own english translation) street along the china railway system, most of them do bulk buy and send overseas, but its best to be there in person, as you cannot trust them sometime.
next time i'll get the address when I go over again, but i'll don't think you will travel there.

I purchased one of these as the housing i had was getting very messy
http://cgi.ebay.ie/FULL-HOUSING-KEYBOARD-HTC-TyTN-II-2-P4550-P-KAISER-/180496072719?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0667800f
DONT BUY THIS KIT !!!
The item was listed as new but clearly most of the parts were used.
The biggest problem I had was with the front face plate.
There is a few gold "connectors" that have to be melted in the plastic.
I had to break these out of my old case and used a soldering iron to put them into the new faceplate.
There was also the gold screw holes! these were a real pain.
Again they needed to be broken from the old case and then gently heated with the iron until they melted into their respective hole.
Maybe this is what I should have expected but it would have been nice if they said a little fiddling was required for fitting.
The keyboard was also not as the picture is. It was a chinese keyboard so I just used my own.
All in all it worked out well and my phone looks spanking new but its not really a worthwhile mod given the cost and hastle.
I was also planning to buy that housing but had a second thought about the keyboard. my original keyboard is all black and doesnt have the white numpad.
thanx for the advice ! ill try to inquire from other seller.
how about this one?
http://cgi.ebay.ph/FULL-HOUSING-KEY...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b0bf01ef
A few days ago I received the same housing from the same vendor and is all ok. Mounting screw is settled and the exterior is not damaged.
Before ordering I contacted him and sent a picture of my phone. When he confirmed that everything (including keyboard) is identical, I ordered. I got the body and I get happy.
I think you had bad luck
Maybe its bad luck but eBay rules are pretty straight forward.
I was not sold what was listed in the pictured and it was not new (item had marks from use where case slides apart and also scratching.)
The keyboard was not the one in the picutes. I actually have a full black KB but wanted to go with the white panelled one in the pic.
What I got was a chinese all black KB. Useless to me.
Anyway, i got my phone rebuilt and its looks new and works great. It took a little more fiddling than I would have expected and the KB was wrong.
I left Neutral feedback for the vendor because I felt I got what I needed.
codejack:
sorry to say but it is really a bad luck. lets try to be careful with items like that and inquire every detail of the item we will buy. thanks for sharing pal
pozabi:
thanks for the tip. ill try to send a picture of my unit when i buy a full housing so that everything will be clear to the seller

i bough the full housing with keyboard from ebay and the keyboard isn't working. not sure why
Hi all,
I have to admit I have a sneaky feeling this should not be here but I'm not sure where to put it... It's not strictly a accessory but anyway, if it is wrong, please do advise.
I'm after anyone here who has or knows of a someone that sells HD2 spares?
I obtained two screen repair HD2s - both have been tampered with previously and while the units both work fine, the front keypad ribbon is broken in two so the keys are not responding.
I have managed to source 2 LCD's but without these buttons, I'm lumbered with two units and two brand new LCD units.
Appreciate any help on this!
Thanks,
Akash

Not sure if this is much help but I did recall seeing a guy on Craigslist in Toronto selling an HD2 in mint condition except for the fact that the glass screen looked like it took a bullet. The LCD was perfect underneath and no scratches anywhere. Not quite sure how someone can do that to it and keep in mint at the same time but anyway it was posted in April and they were asking for around $300 CAN.
Thanks for that suggestion
I have actually been looking around Ebay UK (Where I am) for faulty HD2s but no one will sell them cheaply so...
Bit the bullet and requested a return on the LCD - the seller will refund me the full value back. Just wish I could get these parts as the rest of the unit is mint and given that I've already stripped the screen off (not the easiest task!), it would have been great just to put it back together in a working state.
Thanks again and if anyone does have any other suggestions in getting hold of the keypad, I would appreciate a quick note on it
Hi,
I just dropped my EU HD2 and the glass has cracked and theres a hole in the corner, although the LCD screen is fine and the touch works perfectly.
Could someone advise me where to get a replacement and whether I have to get the whole digitizer part?
Are the ones on ebay ok? I saw a few that were between £10-£20 and wondering whether they are the genuine ones from HTC or fakes...
I also heard there are two types of digitizers, one that needs soldering and one that just clips in...which one is the right one?
Appreciate the help
Hi Mods
Could you move this thread over to the HD2 General section?
Everyone else:
49 views and no one knows the answer to this??
Mine broke, and i sent to the SAT, sadly they broke my motherboard replacing the glass and made a swap.... so i wouldn't dare to change it myself...
Whats the SAT? I can repair this myself, I just need to know which digitizer I need.
Ok ill try and answer your questions.
First,, your EU Leo needs to be un/soldered to motherboard. As far as I know only TMOUS has the clip lcd.
Second, well £20 isn't going to get you a OEM screen, not a new one anyway. Shop around, compare price/products, maybe get the £20 one and try it out could be as good as the OEM one?.
PS. Writing this from my eu leo with a 1/4 of the screen cracked ;bummer; and the thing is it cost me ££75 to get it fixed the first time around.

Soldering is only involved in replacing the digitizer. In most cases you can replace the LCD with the digitizer attached so you just need to remove the ribbon cable and replace the LCD and digitizer kit. Cheapest I found that is genuine is 50 quid.
In any case, I'm using this opportunity to get a DHD
Hi all, not sure if this has been covered before but I just had a few questions about this case. I'm thinking of buying it off eBay, as it is much cheaper and I was wondering if there would be any differences between the original case and the ones off eBay (which are about $20 cheaper). Also, as it has two components to it, is it easy to take off and put back on regularly? I like taking my case off when I get home and putting it back on when I go out, and don't really want to assemble the case time and time again. Lastly, what's everyone's favorite color on the white model?
Thanks to anyone that can help ?
