Recommend current uk repair - HD2 General

My HD2 appears to have a faulty usb port at the bottom. Being active only when you angle the cable correctly.
As HTC have classed this as "physical damage" (unsure how, phone 4 months old) I don't fancy paying their £200 + for a MB replacement.
Can any board members recommend a reasonable repair place in the UK.
Cheers

bottom plug u/s on the XDA 2, help please

the plug at the bottom of my XDA2 is not working anymore, it is becoming difficult to charge it or connect it to the pc.
I s it possible to replace it ?
Thanks for any help you could give.
charging connector
Nico,
i had the same problem, it turned out to be the connector pins to the mb were damaged. After shopping around, I sent the xda2 to expansys for repair. 2 weeks later the unit has been returned, and now is working. The cost for repair was approx £50. Cheaper than buying a new XDA2
Cheaper to buy a new XDAII???? :shock:
If you can find one for cheaper than £50, then buy me one!!!!
(Infact make that TWO!!!!)
:wink:

Please help me, I dropped my XDA IIi

I dropped my XDA on my feet then bounced on the floor. The screen is cracked in the middle, now it looks like encrypted TV channels (if you know what I mean) I can't see anything underneath. Went to 02 and they quoted screen replacement is abour £180 to £200. I couldn't believe in my ears. Does anybody know where to get the screen cheap? Is the screen on IIi identical to that of II. Please don't suggest me to upgrade to XDA Exec as it has half memory of XDAIIi and thick like a Big Mac.
Many thanks for any suggestion
no i recall the screen size being a bit diffrent
maybe the connector too
XDA Exec do NOT! have ½ the memory of XDAIIi
XDAIIi share memory normaly ½ for storage ½ for applications
Exec only use the memory for applications and store data in flash
Hey
you can find the screen replacement for the XDAIIi oh this website
the company is located in California, and you have to send the device to then so they will replace it .cosidering the huge price O2 charges for the new screen, it is best for you to send it to the us to fix it, the price for the screen and the replacement service is 190US dollas

You can get the handsets reapired directly by HTC, by going to the following website.
www.htceurope.com
Screen replacement is about £100, though the prioces varies a little depending on your model. For example, a basic XDA2 cost £103 inc. vat.
They do accept out of warranty XDA's for repair, as well as being the repairer of in-warranty MDA2 models.
Just waiting for my freshly repaired XDA2 to return today! Not bad seeing as though i only dispatched it to them on Wednesday!
Repair XDAII etc

they just repaired mine, great and reasonably priced.
They answer the phone and you can talk with them....

mainboard: "international" put => TMOUS ??

Simple question please: can a mainboard from "international" (or "european") type of HD2 be put into TMOUS (T-Moble US) HD2? (as a replacement, the original MB seems to have overheat hangups issue - but its much easier and cheaper to buy "international" version)

Theoretically, it is possible (some did it already), but don't expect to fit perfectly!

How to understand this "imperfection"?
People say, the screen might be of a different kind (solderred vs. pinned). Is it true?

It doesn't matter the screen(as long as you don't replace digitizer, which are 2 versions:soldered or with insert pin!) in order to replace motherboard!
So, the does the digitizer' kind be matched with the mainboard or is it pin-inserted or soldered to a screen (and screen to a mainboard)?
Digi to LCD & as all LCD to mainboard ribbons are same of no issue.
Main issue of International mainboard in TMOUS is board is shorter & micro usb & headphone jack fall short in the TMOUS housing ...
Get a TMOUS board as waste of effort with an international board ...

Thank you! However may I ask you yet again about these micro usb & headphone jack which fall short - would they appear as inaccessible at all from outside of housing?
If not please, suggest where could I buy tmous mainboard from, as here in Europe there are just 'international' versions present on all auction sites...
To make micro usb & headset jack fit you need to modify connector plug moldings by cutting them back so plugs will go in further without restriction.
I would make the effort to find a good TMOUS board, must be a few TMOUS devices with dead or cracked digi for spares.
Put in a wanted request here on xda.
Other option is go to a international version housing to match board.
Would only buy auction site if seller has 100% feedback & a good reason for have a spare board as too easy for people to lie & sell faulty parts on eBay & reading a few threads on here & my personal inbox messages confirms the auction issues ...

I've got an offer to replace international MB for 100$ (with already MB provied). The guy guarantees it fits perfectly to the TMOUS phone, and he has small repair shop in my town (so he's fully accountable) and swears he's got fixed many such devices already. So how is it possible compared to your explanation? (Is he going to replace housing too maybe?)
Plz, tell me which part of an international case should be placed together with MB? It is definitelly easier and cheaper to buy such a set (euMB+case) than TMoUS mainbard itself...
Presumably it is not necessary to change the whole housing, is it?
rear cover & probably centre chassis (check chassis part supplies & see if parts numbered different).
Can't really see a small shop having dealt with that many TMOUS models for international board swap.
It can & does work but without the ports altered or case changed it not the best.
Personally I would aim at getting an international model with broken or dead digi & swap your led/digi to it & job done plus you got a lot of parts spare or for sale to recoup maybe 50% of the outlay.

Just have bought international MB (+ central chasis) from Polish auction site for as much as 38$ (with guarantee of return if not helped) - haven't pondered too much as it seems great bargain. However now I see this bargain rather akward to consummate :/ Please, give me some advice what to do with the whole set: TMoUS phone with faulty MB + international MB with central chasis? Would you advise to return this MB to the seller?
Get an international back cover & you should be good to go.
BTW, what about firmware/ROM? Where does it sit? In a chip on MB? Or maybe the flash memory module stays somewhere else so the MB change will leave it unaffected...
So, is it necessary to flash the international version of ROM before first run after the MB change? There are so many warnings what distaster would happen if someone confused ROM versions (international vs. US)...
Of course there are ROMs good for both versions, e.g. Paranoid, but presently I've got TMOUS WM 6.5.5 flashed (to accurately test hardware under 'model' sw conditions)
All on mainboard
So, I have replaced the MB, the international version put into TMoUS without any other parts replacements! The TMoUS housing indeed is slighty longer but just by so minute difference (half of millimeter) it poses no problem at all, and both plugs (USB & jack) fit firmly! (The only glitch was I had to trimm millimeter of plastics inside as USB connector didn't fit in, but it was so trifle as probabely even not worth to mention...)
So, WHAT A DIFFERENCE now! That TMoUS MB was terribly thermally worn off!
Please, give some suggestion what to do now - with e.g. that faulty TMoUS MB? To throw away or is it still possible to recover anything valuable from it?
Please, tell me also if it is worth to protect somehow the "new" MB to prevent it from this thermal tearing off (and how to make it)?

[Q] Nexus 7 Repair question

Hi I would like peoples opinions please. My nexus 7 has annoyingly developed a charging fault and as it is now 13 months old it is out of warranty. It seems hard to source parts for it and as I am not sure whether it is the battery of the usb charging port that is faulty, I suppose I would have to send it to Asus for them to diagnose the fault and quote a price to repair it.
My thinking is that it is probably not worth paying for a repair to a 13 month old device when I could buy a new one. As I am in the uk I would presume the price for a repair would be at least £75 depending on what the fault is.
Forgot to mention that I have tried all the fixes for battery and charging problems and could easily fit a new battery( if I could find one in the uk) but as I said before I am not sure what the problem is it could be the usb port is faulty.
Has any of you in the UK had a Nexus 7 repaired and what did you pay if it was out of warranty
Cheers
Nexus04
