[Q] Can this be fixed without buying a new part? - HD2 General

While disassembling the HD2 to fix the overheating CPU issue, I accidentally snapped the cable that is attached to the volume controls. Since hacking on the hd2 always involved the volume controls, it's necessary that I find a solution, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I circled in red the point on the cable that snapped. So all in all, I ask if this current board/cable can be repaired or do I need to find a replacement.

I'm seeing prices upwards of 70 USD

Seen these on likes of ebay for about $25 at the most. Also see them on xda in sales section ...

Ok judging by all the replies so far suggesting I just buy a replacement, it's safe to say that this part is unfix-able and must be replaced?

Only ever seen a ribbon repaired once & that was done by a micro soldering expert & done due to lack of available part.
best bet is new at about $25 inc P&P WW .
Used can found on xda I expect if browse or post a wanted part thread ...

I m a good electronic tecnichian,I solder from about 10 year,I chipped many and many ps1 ps2 xbox ecc.I have a professional aoyue 968 soldering and reworking station,and really good hand and sight.I ve tried to solder the flex of my hd2,the one for spare parts,so I could maybe have 2 hd2 instead of one.I can tell you that it s not possible,and I m sure that no one could solder a thing like taht

New Magician housing ????

I sold my Wizard to get a Universal and funds won't allow it at the moment so going back to a Compact, sold my last a few months back. Just picked up a tatty one cheap....anyone know of a source for new cases if it can be done in the UK ? Ebay link maybe ?
monkeyphonix: do you mind changing the name of this thread to "New Magician housing?" to be a bit more helpful. It's a bit misleading right now.
I haven't heard of anyone selling 3rd party case, but if you search you can find HTC's telephone numbers and might get spares.

I have their website up now with a UK number, looks like they do the work, not sure if they sell spares but will ring them, cheers.
have a look on the board though, I do think a few guys have tried it, so you might be lucky! I still love the Magician, just don't find the wizard attractive enough really. Universal - good for beating a man to death with...

hahaha...I like the comment about the Universal......can be used as a weapon in self-defence
O2mini_noob - it's all true!
This is what I have to wear when I put it in my pocket:

That's me in black :shock: (not really!)
I shouldn't be cruel. It's a nice device. I just wish they had put a lanyard hole on it, otherwise it's bound to fall and get mashed up like monkeyphonix's.
V
hahaha....that's a great illustration :lol:
There's another option for Magician cases
(1) Buy a silicon skin to protect your device ..black or brown will mask the condition of the exterior.
(2) At skinit.com, buy skins for your Magician and transform a tatty looking handheld into the coolest device in your area
(3) If the screen is scratched, get the "scratch remover" from ebay and DIY the repair of the screen. Then put a screen protector on.
Doing this will increase the resell value of your device when it's time for an upgrade

Hoping for $550 AUD + user pays postage, but i'll consider any decent offer. (bumped)
I also have a official Jawbone bluetooth headset for sale, these lil fellas are probably the best out there. For seperate or combined sale.

			
				
That's all the pics for now.
bump for $550.
Hi there, my first post here. You still interested in selling? Is the unit working without problems, what rom is running? Cheers.
Interested, too
Love mine. Can't always find my keyboard, and the housing on mine is a lot, lot worse than yours. I'm also having doubts about my mini usb connection - seems that I plug it in too much. Housing by itself was running US$180 in July, but it looks as if the guy has run out of them: I can't find any now.
I live in the US, and I just checked exchange rates, so it comes out to about US$360, today.
PM me. I'm very interested.
PM me... I consider this sold for that price.
Thank you.
Still waiting on a response
I'm guessing you've got a buyer - but please let us know. If you feel inclined, it would be helpful to know how much you got for it so we can deduce a good going rate.
Thanks!
I've been seeing them go for 450-550 here in the US
If it's still going for sale ... I'm in Darwin so it won't be so far to ship
Send me a pm or email if it's sale going begging.

Free or pay?
PS - How did you end up with such a dead iconia?
PPS - Hang on a second. Most of the internals are working? Why didn't you rma it?
I didn't RMA due to the estimated costs of repair. I'd be happy to send it to you for free if you don't mind paying the shipping. The board is in full working order. (as far as I know) It is missing the LCD panel, glass, and battery. (As i said earlier) the board should still function, I'd be happy to send the AC adapter too.
PS: I accidentally sat on it (full weight), and it just ruined the screen. I thought the glass was still ok, but it wasn't.

[Q] can i get this part alone: area with rear camera

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?

Unfortunately, that's the problem with these odd ball units, there is alot of promises with little delivery and after sales support.

So you bricked it installing the Firmware sent by the seller? and they won't take it back?
Well the story is I bought it off eBay from UK as new. I paid £45 plus postage, when I saw it didn't work I said to seller give me a 50% refund if agreeable and I'll have a play, so all in all only £22.50 lost and a bit of postage so I'm not loosing any sleep lol. I'm quite tech savvy but just not quite enough. So rather than waste more time and energy I binned it lol.

Ahh yeah not worth sending back at that point. Probably was a brick from the seller then tho.
