Hi,
Did anyone managed how to disassemble the home btn from the display ?
it's has become very unsensible...
i've disassembled the whole phone, but i didn't managed how to disassemble that button from the display panel...
i've found a display replacement part with the button included, but i don't want to spend 180+ Euros for the whole panel... (if that, i would buy another phone instead of reparing this one...)
i've also found the flat circuitry stripe of the button, as replacement part, in an italian parts website, but they didn't know how to replace...
i've also tried to fill the button with alcohol to try to clean the contacts but with no effects...

It was the second time replacing the housing on my Touch. I was a bit careless when putting it back together. I broke the slider button on the side. Can anybody tell me where I can get a replacement??
You try ebay? I found my speaker on ebay and it was only $5.50+free shipping straight from China. It took 9 days for delivery
Did you break the slider, or the physical button assembly on the PCB?
My camera button housing broke (not the button itself), so I had to open my Vogue, tear it out, and now I have to press a tiny phillip's screwdriver against two contacts to get my phone to boot to the bootloader.
Hopefully you haven't wrecked the PCB and can find a suitable replacement.

Hello guys, from around 1-2 Mounths my Volume Down Key is broken.. so its not totally broken.
I think from a long use of my Blackstone and alot of flashing that is the reason why Down is broken also its strange that is not totaly broken, you know that when you remove the back cover the volume buttons are really small and they look black like some kind of plastic so exactly the plastic of the down volume key is broken and now im able to see under that black plastic the metal.. so with fingers i can press it so i can flash new ROMs without a problem but didn`t work when the cover is there and the volume down button just can`t do anything.. i think that other users here can have the same problem because in all Blackstone this is the same material used and etc so if anyone have expirience like this or any suggestion how can i fix this will be very cool
thanks in advance
Funny, my blackstone has the exact same physical problem, making the vol down key more difficult to press, the lower half of the internal one that black plastic you mention on mine is broken.
I read in the hints of the blackstone wiki that if your phones under warranty you could try to get the carrier to fix it, but thats not an option for me since I pulled mine completely apart.
I think its best if you can substitute the broken plastic with something maybe, I really haven't bothered for mine since the button still actually works with the case on it just needs a firmer press.
I have repaired plastic damage on pc cases before (broken front door hinges and such), I just used superglue, some of those plastic 5.1/4" or the 3.1/2" ATA clips you get on some cases, and a stanly.
Im sure I could carve out a small piece plastic that would work.
If you really want to go one further, then what I can suggest is taking the two plastic back covers off your phone, and actually repairing the black plastic part on the back cover, my guess is you could use a couple of layers of heat shrink and glue and with enough time and effort achieve a good result, see, the actual volume button PCB hopefully isnt damaged for yours, as it isn't for mine, and if thats the case then its actually just that internal black cover that is a tiny bit broken.
I fix it today and i will explain how if anyone have the same problem to know what to do its very easy for around 1 minute work and now work perfect:
Because of the broken half plastic of the volume down button the problem was that when im with back cover and i press the volume down key didn`t work because the back cover dont button when is pressed cannot press the volume down button that is on the device.. because all is so tinny and this black plastic that is on the button is around 1/10 of the milimeter very very tinny but on the same time this is enought the button to cannot be pressed. So i remove the back cover and from paper tape i cut one litle squere with the size of the button .. but because the paper tape is really really tinny i put 3-4 paper tapes in one they to become more chik then i apply the paper tape exactly on the down button and then put the back cover so now when i press the volume down button work again because this paper tape help the button to be pressed
Very easy fix for 1 minute.. of course better will be if you don`t have problems like this.. but when heppan you know what to do
nice work!
Looking back at the images I took when replacing my touchscreen and lcd, I noticed that the part of plastic that does suffer the damage isn't actually a part of the outer shell casing, but is actually applied in some way over the top of the soldered buttons on the tiny volume PCB (& ribbon), therefore, you could always take off the shell, remove the pcb with tweesers, apply a small it of electrical tape, and put it back together to achieve a more permanent result
I should've done this when i fixed my screen, I might look into fixing it in the above way in the near future as the volume down button doesnt work that well currently.
I did have exactly the same problem with my volume down key....
Because I still was in the period of the guarantee I sent my phone back to HTC repair center I get it back after 2 weeks with a new volume down key (they changed that broken very very thin plastic) and now it works again perfectly!

The question is if you have a Hardware problem like this broken plastic do u need to re flash to stock ROM when you are going to ask for repair? or when you dont have any problem with the device.. because the volume down key have nothing to do with the software etc do u can go to ask for repair with costum rom?

No way you always have to flash the stock rom (and stock spl!!! they check if "olinex" is there in bootloader!) when you send your phone to the repair center... so did I.
Although this broken vol key has nothing to do with the software the repair center has done a complete test of the phone. And this includes flashing the newest stock rom again. Yes, although I have flashed the latest official HTC rom when I send it to repair center they do that again (after they repaired my device)!! So you always get a completely blank phone back from this repair center.
(spoken from the repair center here in germany but I think this is always the same in every country)
I ask because here in Bulgaria i think we do not have official HTC repair center.. so when i buy the device from somewhere they give me 2 years waranty but from them i mean.. if i have troubles i need to go to the places from where i buy the device and they will repair it.. they will not send it to HTC official or anything else..
thats is the reason why i ask you

same here in germany... i get the name/adress for this repair center from my shop where i bought my touch hd. And then I had the choice if I send my touch hd to my shop (and then they send it to this adress) or I send it myself to the repair center.
I think it'll be the same in other countries. HTC has "partners" in every country for such repair/warrenty things. For germany the repair center is called "arvato services solutions GmbH" (so not an official HTC firm I think)
Hi,
I had the following problem with my HTC Diamond 2 (it might have got wet & it might possibly have had too much pressure on the screen)
Problem:
The mobile boots ok and the normal buttons at the bottom work fine, as do the volume up/down buttons. The display, however, has what looks like the newton rings and when I press the display it detects a 'press' about 1cm to the left of where i pressed. This means I can't use the right hand side of the display and also can't enter my pin.
Error Diagnosis: (from Arvato Services in Germany)
Mainboard is defect. Cost to repair = € 303.17
Is this possible ? If there was a problem with the mainboard then I would expect to see other problems - and at present, I can only see that the touchscreen has a problem.
Please let me know what you think, thanks in advance !
(ps there should be a question mark at the end of the 'title', don't seem to be able to edit though)
Based on your description and from what I've read, it's definitely the digitizer.
It is possible that you have a damaged board, but regardless, your digitizer is bad.
I would attempt to replace this yourrself then see if everything is fine before sending it to repair.
I had the same problem!
The screen was getting worse in alignment over a time frame of a couple of days. If replaced the digitizer and screen and all is back to normal ..... however it seems to work better then ever before.
The only problem left is dust between the digitizer and my screen, but this is my own fault since I didn't glued the screens. I'll re-open in the next few days and use some silicone to close the gaps. Mainly the volume key has an opening to the outside.
Good luck with the replacement!
Hi guys,
I just disassembled my HD2 to replace my broken digitizer and touchscreen.
But now i'm stuck with a problem.
What shall I use to glue both items together again?
And the keyboard makes some issues.
I tried to place both parts over eachother to see if they fit but I can't press the keys after it.
Seems like they are stuck.
That's why I didn't want to use superglue because after assembling it I wouldn't be able to change anything.
Maybe pictures tell more than words.

hope that helps you
thanks wasn't the information I was looking for but nevermind
I assembled the device now .. but the next problem occured ..
the hd2 is loading without problems (led shows it) but when I try to power it on it's completely dead. nothing happends
with my old touchscreen it was at least possible to power it on.
my question is:
could the new soldered touchscreen + digitizer be broken? or did I break something during disassembly and assembly?
To be honest I didn't see any mistakes I made.
It's not my first time repairing stuff like that because I used to repair notebooks as a hobby.
Still i'm unsure what the heck is going on with my phone atm.
did you check if the flex cable from display is in the port, there is an white stripe that shows how far it must in the port. Did the phone vibrate when you pressed power button?
I checked the cables and found nothing suspicious.
and the phone didnt even vibrate after trying to power it on.
I'm trying to get a new hardkey board (i hope you know what I mean).
Had problems with the keys being stuck and maybe I killed that one by trying to assemble it.
if the phone doesn't recognize me pushing the power on key it's no wonder it won't do anything.
hope this will fix the problem

Most likely something is wrong with your Power button, but you should turn it on with 2nd method:
- pull out battery;
- insert usb cable(connected to PC)/charger in your usb port;
- insert battery.
This way it should turn on whatever OS you have installed on.
If your OS is Android through MAGLDR, connecting it through usb should turn it on by default, unless your battery is not dead!
Check it out!

Glad to hear that!
Definitely you should replace your keypad flex!
Did you fix the problem with the hardware keys
Hi,
I have very similar problem.
I changed the touch screen on my HD2 and after reassembling I cannot get the hardware keys clicked.
I ordered a brand new key board and brand new plastic buttons. I received them but situation is the same.
If somebody can explain is there any trick during adjusting the plastic buttons to the clickable "small dots" on the board - please help me.
Best Regards

Normally this is always down to glass digitizer not being aligned correctly when stuck to LCD.
0.05mm can make all the difference here.
You need review current digitizer position & pre test assembly to centre chassis without tape for a test run on button function.
Also check button board position is exact & located correctly in the pin holes at each end of the board.
original board quality is normally far better than most of the very cheap eBay pattern parts but one or two sellers offer a decent board around $4.50
Also clean all old tape from back of LCD & centre chassis plate so parts fit flush & once all checked new tape can be added, I also use small spots of up40 adhesive sealant near corners & near middle edges for final build up as holds far better than even the best tapes & gives an original strength & long lasting flush look to final job plus us easily removed with razor blade if repair ever needed again.
Super glue is a BIG no no NO.
Hard to get hardware buttons clickable

It is not the case in my case , because I ordered full set (digitizer + display) and they arrived factory assembled.
But you are definitely right - 0.05 mm make the difference. I think the problem comes from the fact that the board with buttons cannot be firmly fixed to the 2 small juts on the chassis. You know the plug of the buttons board is on the tail like extension. Probably when I try to cover the buttons board with the LCD+digitizer - the frame of the LCD slightly pushes the buttons board and the juts on the plastic buttons cannot be fixed exactly on the top of the actual buttons on the board. Anyway we are speaking about precise fixing something around 0.05 mm over something else, which is exactly same size... and in the same time you have to fix this without any visibility.
I will continue trying. If you can give me any other ideas - I will appreciate this.
Thanks

Do not rule out the LCD/Digitizer assembly as the china combos are prone to not the best accuracy of assembly as sounds like maybe LCD is mounted just a fraction too low on the digitizer perhaps.
Button board should be fixed via 3M style tape & most replacement boards come with tape ready for fitting.
worth making effort with button board to centre chassis to mount securely then mounting lcd to chassis without tape for a trial assembly & try and check for possible issues such as bent chassis or old tape not removed sufficiently or new assembly alignment not the best.
I would also recommend using original plastic button strip as the copy ones are not always good & have had experience with them before.
My HTC HD2 with kitkat os falling from my hand and after that the screen shows nothing, my phone is alive and everything works like ringing vibrate alarm even touch screen and touch vibrate, but i see nothing and the display is dark.

probably need new screen assembly!
needs opening to check lcd connector to mainboard & if all connections good then new screen should be tried.
LCD & digitizer pre built assembly is only about $30 these days for decent ones but indeed not easy fit with some experience or good read up on procedure & good care when doing it.

Do you have a link to view that?
Have a read of this thread for start

Plenty more if do a search
Basically be very very careful, use plastic pry tool ONLY to remove back, start at top. 2 clips about 7mm in from top edges then once released work down right side, DO NOT stick any tools in near the volume key, if doing it right the back comes of very easy (2 pry tools are better as can keep one in top sstopping it clipping back in)
Once back off handle with care, rough handling breaks th spring contacts for antenna etc.
LCD from mainboad can be disconnected from mainboard without fully removing flex & is absolute best way do it.
I did write few posts on it so will try dig them up & link you.
If buy lcd/gigi assemble also buy a button board ribbon as they like only $3USD, with spare button ribbon you can easily plug new lcd/digi in & plug new button board ribbon into mainboard & hold a battery on it to do a test befoe sticking things together.
Also you likely damage ribbon if not careful so spare likely get used on rebuild.
