Identify hardware inside Magician

Hello all,
I opened the Magician to repair the phone speaker, but also painting the housing. As I carefully document the parts I found one piece of hardware that draw my attention. I have a clue what it might be, but would like to share it, so maybe you know what it might be.
First some pictures

Location of the unknown hardware. When you hold your magician face up (screen up) it's under the red phone button.
piece we're talking about.
Where the 2 contact point on the unknown hardware connect to. Just like the phone speaker it kind of floats, so no wires..
As I watched carefully I noticed the shape of a half cylinder. By moving your PDA vertically/horizontally the heavy side moves towards where gravity is, meaning it always points down. (see picture 2)
I think it's some kind of hardware that suppose to, if a software supports it, turn your PDA display horizontal or vertical when you turn it. Something like iPhone demonstrated or even closer Wizard. Wizard's screen automatically goes in horizontal mode when the keypad is sliced out.
If this unknown hardware is what I think it is, why isn't used then? It would be a very nice feature
What do you think it is?

its your vibration motor.
ie: when you have 'vibrate' enabled, and your phone rings, that little motor spins like crazy and the uneven shape of the weight creats the vibration.

Yes, Definately that is the vibration motor.

Yeah... I forget Magician was a phone too... Since I don't use the phone I lost focus
Anyway... It would be great if it could have the ability to turn the screen auto. My guess would be that if that small motor could send it's position back to a chip it should be possible for software (OS for example) to act. (dual function)

I'm trying to fix my vibrator and your pics would help but the links no longer work.
Can you please relink or rehost them or send them to me?

dead center... I've searched searched for a solution but haven found it-can you help?

Ok my screen works, alignment is whack because the CENTER of screen doesnt work. I have seen a few people have had same problem but saw no results that worked. so open invitation to those that are skilled.
KJAM with WM6
Problem: the exact center of the screen does not work, its about exactly 1 centimeter to each extreme. on screen alignment it takes about 10 tries to finally exit alignment mode, *i dont know if its tired of trying to align it, that it just gives up* but screen center still does not work. everything else is fine but it doesnt work.
Tested the problem: to see the exact affected area i went into notes with draw mode. i made tons of horizontal and vertical lines through the inner part of the screen to see which was th area that didnt work. and it looks like this.

efforts to fix:
HKLM>drivers>touch panel>pressure threshold (couldnt find the folder)
Hard Reset
moved stylus around screen
soft reset
landscape & portrait mode
keyboard open & keyboard close
safe mode
synced & un synced
I think i have tried most of what i could guess and what i have read in related threads but no luck.
I haven't flashed the rom because i have a latest one and it was fine at first when i upgraded to WM6 until about a month later.
so i am in mexico right now and easy to say that wizard parts & wizards are hard to get here so i am thinking of getting a new screen all together from the US, so before i spend 40 dollars, i am asking for help to you guys.
I hope yall can help me. thanks.

your touch scren or digitalaizer is bad, you should remplace it.
it happend to me and had to change the digitalizer. on ebay there is a lot of chinese users that deliver arownd the world

3d-printed wide-screen car-holder

Not being able to find a car-holder that would hold my Touch Pro in widescreen
with the keyboard extended firmly and still allow for a power-cable,
I designed this car-holder.
It ataches to anything that can carry a camera (1/4") and to the slide-in car.holders
from HAMA (they sell suction cups, air-hole -attachments, glue-ons and screw-ons).
You can attach the supplied and wider third-party cabless, reach the power-button
and it even comes with a hole to keep yout touch-pen.
If anyone wants one of these,
I can print them for 35eur+postage on my 3D-printer.

Any chance I could get the .stl file? I'd like to use it with my schools 3D printer.

You don´t seem to have that printer for a long time yet to not know http://www.thingiverse.com/
It´s the first place to look for the STL-files of things ment to be printed.

Didn't think to look there. I thought you would've posted a link in here, but oh well.
Thanks!

IGES or STEP
Hi, is it possible to get a IGES or STEP File from you. I want to make one at Work, but from aluminum, with a CNC Mill.
My CAD/CAM Software takes STL files, but import of STL is not the best. It works better with IGES or STEP.
At the moment I am working on a Desktop Dokingstation, its not ready but will be in a short period of time. Will post it here.

Like this?
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2195
It´s the original Alibre Design files.
With milling you´d have to work very deep in the material without your toolhead touching the sides
and you certainly have to run multiple faces. I don´t think that will work well.
I´m using my Touch Pro only for development now that I switched to the Nexus One.

I have to say that it pretty cool stuff. Nice work Marcus. What cool times we live in when you can design and fab your own accessories for your phone. Thanks for sharing.

nice!!!!
tnks

Very nice but I hope never to need it

Thank you, i intend to replace my front cover.

i think you shoud wait... i have removed the old front cover and now i have touch problems(i press certain area and the phone rigesters another area) don't know what to do??
i believe that my phone is out of warranty now.
if any one knows where the problem is please help!

the phone is now back from the repair center ... they have replaced the whole screen with touch ... it had cost me a lot of money "about 500 LE" and the phone now isn't the same as it was before this ... so i don't recommend any one of you to do this without being completely careful ...
now my phone is out of warranty ... and i have to pay extra money to revert it back to it's original case ... so BE CAREFUL with what you are doing as this is not easy as it seems to be.

Yes I fu**ed up mine too. First it was some indentation on the front upper rim, then the camera lens cover, so I decided I was up to a DIY work. I've often refurbished my dear SE phones to look as new but this level four repair has proven to be beyond my reach. The local service co. returned the phone in the same state and said no can do.
T'is the time I had to admit I really love this crappy piece of software on a wonderfully sweet hardware and have to get another one back, as price dropped as low as its makers dropped the phone itself.
Next SE X2 I will lay my hands on will have all my TLC and probably end up years from now as a stylish portable FM radio player, aside to an old R520m I use as the ultimate alarm clock with light sensor snooze.

thank for share

thanks for sharing

thanks very good

[Q] digitizer problems! PLEASE PASS

hey there!
some days ago, I had new problems with my digitizer.
began 4 months ago, when I have replaced the broken digitizer with a new one bought on ebay, and so i had some issues with its sensivity. at first i had a problem on the bottom. I couldn't scroll up the pull-down menu of the status bar or scroll through the bar of the music player (red).
recently the sensitivity of the touchscreen is worsened and when I adjusted the smearings inside the digitizer, the situation got even worse, and now I am unable to use the keyboard on the "zxcvbnm(del)" row in portrait mode and I can't open new page of the browser in landscape mode (yellow).

right now my screen is literally gone mad! it automatically picks up touches on each side of the screen and I can't no longer use it. I must do a lock/unlock of the screen to get it out of this loop and so here's that it happens again in half a minute!
What could I do to fix my digitizer? I should be grateful if I might avoid to purchasing a new digitizer one more time, I wasted so much money on my phone that I would have been able to buy a new one!
PS. I'm sure that someone will say that it's only my fault if I have the phone in these conditions. not for really. I had great care to replace the digitizer on the phone and vice versa, so I would like a bit of professionalism to take my issue in a certain way and not that you always criticize the user, fool or not to be. I will consider any advice aside the usual criticisms.
I ask forgiveness for my clarification perhaps a little cheeky, but I felt compelled to say these things because I have experienced similar cases, and I wouldn't to happen again for better mine and yours, and thank you again for your unfailing support and sorry for my bad english I believe that you may solve the problem

Dear
I am also faced such difficulties. You can find my thread regarding "touchscreen malfunction" . But now the problem almost solved. Previously i was used froyo kernel based wiui. Then i change kernel to gb and flashed wiui for gb kernel.Its all before 3 weeks. I cant see the problem Till today. So just try it. My digitalizer was original and not replaced yet. I think the touch sensitivity of froyo kernel is more atleast in my case
