Somehow the plastic lens over the flash has cracked. I have a case on my phone and there is really no sign of damage and I have yet to drop the phone. Anyone know where to get a new rear cover for the phone. Also Im not sure if it's just my phone but the vibration sounds terrible. It sounds like a blown speaker when it vibrates so I would like to replace that too. Anyone know where to get any parts?
HTC? ebay?
Maybe you could post an ad in the Marketplace for a bricked hd2.
Both good ideas. Have been following ebay for anything available, and HTC is no help. Ill post something here. Thx. Not sure why parts for this phone are so difficult to find.
There are tons of replacement lenses on ebay - do a search in EBAY as HTC HD2 lens camera - they are cheap but you need some sort of adhesive to attach the lens back on the rear cover. Full housings OEM genuine are available from www.cnn.cn buy they are extremely expensive.
There are several internal speakers on ebay as well.
Ah hell, mine did the same thing, and I know I didn't drop it, I think it cracked from heat or something.

Please, its been about a month since the earpiece on my wizard died and i can't find the part anywhere! I found one damaged wizard on ebay which sold for $400 with a damaged screen! obviously a fradulent buyer but the seller hasn't replied yet.
So if your wizard is water damaged, smashed, or simply inoperable i need this one part to fix my earpiece. Also my brothers wizard's speakers are blown so it'd be great if i could get a hold of those two.
What i need is the ribbon cable which connected the main board to the top sliding half of the device. Its a ribbon cable attached to a circuit board on both ends.
Please i really need this so i can bring the phone part of my wizard back to life.
PM me if you know where i can get this part or if you have a damaged wizard.
Thanks in advance!
broken wizard!
i do have a working one with cracked screen. where are you located?
i should have mentioned that.. I'm in austin, texas. If u are over seas i can check to see if i can make it elligible for a corporate rate to ship it to me.
Also how much would u be wanted for it?
I'd offer you mine, but I got the same thing broken.
i just emailed 2 sellers on ebay which have cellphone parts and wizard housings in there stores, awaiting there reply. And i'm working something out with the one person with a damaged one from ebay.
What do you guys think $85 good for a wizard with a damaged screen?
broken wizard
I have a broken wizard--I dropped it, but I can still make calls from it via the bluetooth headset.
PM me if you are interested and I'll give you my phone #.
I've pm'd u, but does that mean your earpiece is broken as well? Cuz what i need is the ribbon cable that powers the earpiece, LCD, digitizer, softkeys, and everything else on the front half of the device. So if yours is broken then probably won't help mine out much.
i guess so. If you need an intact (front) then mine won't help--due to the fact that the "cal answer/hangup " buttons do not work.
The damaged one i bought off ebay came in today, swapped the parts out and now my earpiece is working again!! i'm so excited!!
Now i have all these parts lying around if anyone needs anything send them my way. The parts i got are:
The main board
Camera
Vibrator
Main housing (except for the front its really banged up)
Antenna
Keyboard
But no battery cover, didn't come with one.
Heres a pic of the mess i had on my desk but it all worked out perfectly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I no longer have the damaged wizard so please don't PM asking for parts.
hey fone_fanatic, wondering if you ever experienced your Wizard creaking when you press down on the front faceplate(below the call/end buttons)....seems to come from the hinge right under the the right soft key (the one connected to the keyboard), only thing is it only makes noise when the keyboard is closed and my keyboard is not loose at all(nice and snug)....just wanted to know if you might know of a fix for my problem, would you recommend me taking it apart or just sending it in for a warranty repair or do you know if it is pretty easy to somehow shorten the gap between the front face and the keyboard?.... appreciate the time.
Regards,
P.S. My Wizard works fine, its just starting to get very annoying when I make/end phone calls.
no, mine doesn't make any noise when i press down there. well there is a noise but its coming from the battery cover. if your device is under warranty, i suggest sending it in if it bothers you that much. the reason being because when u open it up your bound to break a couple of clips which might make it worse.
fone_fanatic: I love that mess on your desk
You might want to mask out your First National Card though - edge detection filters would love that image...

don't worry about the card, its one of those advertisement cards you get in the mail syaing your pre-approved or whatever. i always keep those cards and use them with taking devices apart.

anyone got a 8125 with a cracked LCD but all other functions still working?
yes, i'm aware of pocket pc techs but they didn't have the part i needed to fix mine whihc is why i bought a damaged one and salvaged the part i needed out of it. Now i've got all these extra parts , but what to do with them...?
@ fone_fanatic
thanks for the advice....off to warranty it goes...hope it comes back with no new problems (fingers tightly crossed)....
Regards,
hey can I see that pic of the parts u got left?
I wouldnt mind buying a wizard with just a broken LCD if it was cheap. $180 to send it in to fix a LCD is super expensive when the phone is like $350 on ebay

The reason i bought it the this one with the damaged lcd is because i couldn't find the part i needed (Rigid Flex Board) anywhere so i swapped my broken one out with this one. So if i was to put this back together not only would the lcd be busted but the earpiece won't work also the speakers would be blown (sold good speakers to a friend). Also the front case is heavily scratched/dinged, looks like someone smashed a brick on the phone.
Hello, I have a Qtek 9100 and unfortunately I dropped it and scratched the front of the casing up pretty bad. The phone is still in perfect condition and not even a scratch on the back or the screen. I am looking for the front housing. I do not have any scratches on the rear housing, keyboard, or even the battery cover. I have looked on Ebay and the only thing that I have found is for around $100 (US). I do not want to pay that much for something that I can conceivably drop again. So my question is; is there anyone out there that knows where I can get a front housing? I would even buy the total housing to use as a backup but I do not want to spend an arm and a leg for it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone has.
im looking for one myself.. i dropped my imate kjam a numerous amount of time...and the body has been scratched up rpetty bad
if theres a way to get it in canada, ottawa.. id really appreciate to find out..
thnx
How about vinyl sticker to put on top of the scratches? Like those offered by mytego.com?
you can see how it look like from this thread at howardforum

That's my phone in the post by username ToNg
Oh. That's slick the way the background and vinyl work as one.
I need the battery cover and the rear center fan grill for a shift so that i can make some repairs to mine but the only solution i can find at the moment is £80 for a whole new shell and im not sure if it has the grill in there either.
link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/new-original-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item414e507c11
how hard is it to re-shell a shift? the dissasembly has no images anymore
Any ideas or spares sources i dont know of?
(forgot to say uk based but will buy from abroad)
I May Be Able To Help.
I have a dead Shift. The Shell is in great shape. What exactly are you needing?
What's wrong with your Shift. I'm interested in buy all shift or LCD screen.
Sounds verry interesting toprowguy you want to arrange a trade or paypal sumething?
I have an old charmer and p3600 gathering dust , erm, thoughts?...
i just need a new grill for the rear center vent and a new battery cover tbh,
but im tempted to put it in a new shell because of some minor paint flecking off
from the bezel around the screen, but the ones on ebay are a bit pricey for that
kind of 'less than essential' repair.
the rest is fine tho
now ive drpped it argh im cursed, to be fair about 3ft in the air on to a hard wood floor.
only a small crack on the casing above the camera everything else seems ok another reason to consider replacing the whole case
Looking At It More Closely
Looking at my Shift more closely I do see some scratches and chipping paint. The scratches are on the front between the LEDs and the screen. They are minor though and I'm willing to bet that if you put an InvisibleShield (or the like) on it, they would disappear. The chipped paint is around the plug and the USB slot. The rear center vent and the battery cover as in perfect shape. As far as the screen is concerned, I don't think it works anymore, but I can't say for certain because I'm not about to switch it out with my working Shift. Don't want to come close to killing this one too.
We can certainly work something out. I've sold the keyboard in these forums already, to a Flojo Premier. They can tell you I'm good on my word. As are they. PM me.
awesome ive pm'd you

It says it's a 'replacement lens'. As far as I am aware there is only one cover/lens, be it glass or plastic.

read it again, thats a replacement lense COVER.
meaning, it covers the lens. Have a look at your HD2 and tell me thats what you camera looks like, its not even transparent.
ive had a look, and it looks like the only ways of doing it are the following.
1, send to HTC to get repaired
2, do a bodge job and make one yourself
3, have a look on ebay for exdisplay/dummy phones and buy it, user the lense from that.

It looks exactly like mine. There is the camera housing, the elevated metal cover that protects the lens and the glass that sits on top of it. That cover on eBay is a replacement for a smashed/cracked lens cover, which is exactly the same as mine. Unless I am being unbelievably stupid, I am pretty sure he just means that. A picture would be nice.
I broke mine, too a while ago and sent it to HTC Germany's service partner for repair. Cost me over 60 Euros plus my initial shipping costs to get it done. Just to give you a hint of what an official repair might cost you.
I guess you could contact HTC in a different country than yours and ask them if you can send your HD2 for repair there. Should be no problem scince you have to pay for the repair anyway and won't cost them anything.
thanks guys for your replies, I will put a picture of my HD2 at the end of the day so that everyone knows what is exactly the problem
Somebody else?
My wife droped mine HD2 too... so... I was wondering if I can just replace the glass with this plastic replacement....
I will buy it on my pay day thursday and let you know!
Any news on this? I broke my camera glass, too
Hey guys,
Ive ordered mine, should be here in the next week.
Will report back
I broke mine too
No idea how I did it. It was in my pocket on a flight from Kansas City to New Orleans. First time I got it out to take a picture I noticed it.
Really would like to know what my options are.
has anyone found a fix? I have same prob. If there is a replacement, how do you fix it?
Hey Guys,
Mine arrived today, did not look like much (came in an envelope) but i fit it in quite easily and it looks great!
All you need to do to install is click it in place.

i bought one of the ebay replacement lens covers and a dummy phone as insurance. both of these covers appeared to be made of plastic whereas i'm pretty sure the original is optical glass. since this cover is going to have a direct impact on the quality of your pics, you will want it to be as clear as possible and since it will inevitably be wiped off countless times, scratch-proof. for these reasons, i came to the conclusion that it might be better to source a glass cover from another phone (not neccessarily an hd2) or get a legit htc replacement.

Hey i bought the replacement off ebay, I'm fairly sure it's glass. I find it has not affected camera quality when the images are viewed on PC, It seems its made of good quality.

Hi
Ok,my HD2 is broken since October and I'm a student and i just couldn't afford the repairs. All I know is that - it seems like this - the connector to the display is not working anymore (common problem I heard).
But honestly I have no idea what to do:
Money is still a bit tight so I can't really buy a new phone.
On the other I couldn't even figure out what to repair. I know the display is a whole unit (LCD and touchscreen glued together) and somewhere in between is the connector,which lost his contact to the mainplatine.
But all I find are the plastic frames with a connector ( http://www.algogo.com/store/product...er-HTC-HD2-II-LEO-T8585-.html?setCurrencyId=2 ) [I have no idea what digitizer means..i always thought it's the same as the touchscreen itself but that's not true.]
Or I find things like this LCD+Touchscreen or even cheaper this .
I know I need the big connector cable as mentioned in the first link of the digitizer offer but here the connector cable is suddenly on the side and not down to the keys...
Well,but it's the whole display package so I guess I need this...
I already have the right screwdriver for this work but I'm still not sure what to do/if it worth it.
Ok,the 70 Euro plus shipping..that's cheap but on the other hand the HD2 is already a bit old (but I still love Windows mobile and what do keep that).
So..any clues..suggestions?
my suggestion is to go for.. buy any LCD+Digitizer pre-assembly pack, check this videos link
and try by your self..
also many informations about the procedure you will find here link2
or here link3
take your time and you will be successful repair it at your own..
Thanks your these links but the thing is..I already know them and tried it as far as I could (which is why I already have the right screw driver for it). In the end I just scratched it more and more...
The thing is..I'm not really good at this - especially the display removing and heating part of the job. So I thought I could bypass that by simply replacing the whole display unit. Ok,still 70 Euro if I chose the second ebay link but that's way cheaper than the other ebay offer plus really really cheap compared to these send-in repair shops from the internet (about 200 euro then).
I'm just not sure if these are the right components or if there is a cheaper offer somewhere else.
I bought my LCD+Digitizer for 55USD with the shipping costs, from ebay.com.
It was from a China seller, not an OEM item for sure, but after all, my LCD was as a new one!!!
I also needed an adhesive tape like this one.
you should remember that you will need to detach the LCD+Digi from the middle metal plate frame bezel
and the only way is with heat. I tried with a hair drier..
And all went as is should be..
I'm sorry to dig this thread up but I just found my old HD2 and wondered if I could get it back to work.
Of course I need a new battery and stuff but actually it's still ok.
The concerning part is the glued display and the heat you need but now the HD2 gets older and the prizes drop so I saw a complete display (the glass, the screen and the touchpad-layer) on amazon for 60 euro.
Would you go for it?
I'm not quiet sure how to disamble the device but there are videos for that. And then it should work, right? There is no glue or duct tape or anything involved if I swap the whole display-component, right?

From the research I've done you'll need either super glue or 3m double sided tape.
