HTC Wizard Parts

I have heard somebody had found a place that you can order basically just about any HTC part, but after hours of searching I cant find anything. I think the post addressed where to get HTC replacement stylus, but the link provided in the post went to a website that offeres all kinds of differnet parts for the Wizard. Does anybody know of this post or where I might go for HTC parts?
Thanks!

I would like to know as well as I want to get an english only keyboard

i need this too!
i need a mainboard and battery cover.
oh and stylus. dont think the ones i got on ebay will be right. [don't have them yet.] stupid ebay.

i think u can do it from htc america's website

I called HTC America and they are NOT willing to sell parts....I needed a replacement power switch for my 8125 (broke it putting it back together after replacing screen).
I saw a different thread here with some part numbers for Digi-Key and it turned out to be the switch that is used for the Camera/comm/voice buttons. (Digi-Key part #P12280SCT-ND--I have 4, let me know if you need one) In the end,I ended up buying one from Pocket PC Techs $15.00 for the power switch. After comparing it to what I have found on Digi-Key, I have narrowed it down to part #P10849SCT-ND. Now (hopefully) you won't have to pay Pocket PC for your switch like I did!!!

[Q] USB Port

My big bulky phone with the big bulky extended battery dropped to the floor as I got up from my chair, not realising that the usb cord had decided to entangle me. Next thing I know, my precious hd2 is lying on the floor, screen faced down, and the usb cord "ripped".
Everything seemed to be working fine, but when I tried plugging it into my dock, it wouldn't charge, so I tried holding it at angles - it worked, but whenever i let go, it would stop charging.
Does anyone know how to fix this without having to take the whole thing apart?

Sorry friend but you will have to take the phone apart to fix this problem. Might even have to replacecthe mainbosrd as the USB port is attachedcto the mainboard and can not be replaced seperately.

I was really hoping not to hear that .... but ty for the reply, I'm just going to go to the side and sob for a bit because I can't afford to get mobo replaced, I can't afford much right nw.

As a temporary solution you could buy a wall charger and an extra battery off ebay for a couple of bucks, changing and charging batteries on the go works for me!

ty, but I'm worried that it'll get worse in the long term (long being anything over a couple of days), ie. completely stop working, and data transfer? I'd have to use wireless adb to do transferring.

Is it still under warranty? You might get lucky

I looked at the warranty terms and conditions, and it says that anything that has to do with the usb port area will not be considered as being part of the warranty, and I don't have the receipt because I got it 2nd hand. :'(

it could be fixed, but the port must be resoldered to the motherboard. In case some circuit tracks were broken in the incident, they will have to be remade, a good service center could handle it.
Most of them aren't too fond of using real electronic measurements and algorithms in order to track corresponding usb port pins to various points on the motherboard but it's not impossible. If my hd2 would have been damaged in this way i won't hesitate to crack it open and get my hands dirty

If I wanted to, how much do you think I'd be able to sell it for? Thinking of selling it, and mybe getting a used tmous, if I can afford it.

I've managed to find some tmous on sale, so, what do you guys reckon I could sell mine for?

When I broke my first LEO512 by thinking I could repair it, I took the individual components (Case, chassis, motherboard) out and sold them on ebay. I got about £119 in total for it all

You could always sell it for full price and let the buyer find out themselves what's wrong with it.

I'm just too scared that I'll mess it up and just make it even worse, thinking of selling it, getting what I can for it, and getting another second hand.

I have this problem my micro usb port has completely broke, and the circuit lines on the mother board are screwed up, HTC will not touch it
gone the route of a wall charger for now came with another battery for £8 delivered so im happy i can still use my phone, while looking on Evilbay for a new hd2

Finally had the courage to open it, and as you said, the connections are more or less broken off, and I've got shaky hands (without nerves) and can't handle soldering it, so I'm thinking of patching it up with some blue tack

Desire Z replacement springs

Hi, So Im looking for somewhere that sells springs for the desire z because my hinge is starting to get worn a little bit.
Anyone know where i can get some that ship to Ireland or is there another product I can take them from?
I cant find them anywhere.
Thanks

I have looked for these as well with no luck. I have seen a howto fix that stetched the current springs to fix. But this would have to make them weaker in just doing that.
If have one out and measured might be able to order something like grainger industrial.

Whenever I find a site that posts to me they're always really expemcive with shipping coming in around at 20 euros r so its outrageous. So I really want a good spring because I think tht would make me want to keep my phone for longer

The guy is in the states,shipping costs about 13 pound all in so its expensive to ship but at least you get a spring as I have been unsuccessful sourcing one to the UK.

Yeah i saw them thyre too expencive.. im looking for somewhere else the max id pay is a 10er

Glad you got the spring Bombadier.
For instructions, the movie is pretty good. I freeze framed it a couple of times but it worked out good.
One advice is to not apply too much pressure when prying the back open. I mean you do, but control it so that you do not "go through" with the tool. I read about somebody that broke through the volume switches.
Also, when you get to the spring, do not take it apart more than you need, I did inadvertently, and then I had to figure out how those hinges are put together...
The spring, as I said is twice long as needed (and then a little bit) so make sure you cut it nicely. Please read my original post. Good luck.

do you guys think it would be worthwhile to make a spacer or is the compressed space all taken up by the spring?

No need, if you don't buy the springs posted into the op of that other thread (forget who the post is by, but it has a link to the springs and a tutorial) for $4 (for three of them) you could probably find then locally for a dollar or so from various hardware store or hobby shops. Making a spacer may just be a lot of work for nothing better than a new spring. Even if you have something lying around that was near perfect it just wouldn't be worth the hassel

problem is im not in the states,and I used to be an Airsoft tech before i went back to college so i know exactly how expensive(and getting quality parts is trouble too) getting the springs are gonna be(after conversion about $20 which is way too much for springs) for the same reason I don't use ebay so if I could send someone trustworthy the money for the parts and shipping I would be most grateful

So you don't live near a major city? I mean if you don't I get it, it may be hard to find the locally. So if you are going to rule out a local online seller too I guess you could make a spacer. You would need to trim the spring down smaller and spacer would need to be a cylinder shape (like the spring) and maybe 6-10mm long. Plastic or metal, or well any other hard material. This against the old spring may help, but may also not do a whole lot.
The only problem with all this is to find the proper material, if you got something lying around that seems close you could widdle it to shape, it just seems like a heck of a lot of work for a try and try again kinda project.

Tab Parts

I have a i800 tab and was wondering if anyone knew of a site/company that sold.parts for them. I have searched Google quite a bit and can't find a site that sells parts for these tabs. I did find a site that sold parts but mainly for the sprint version not sure how much internally is different though. I am mainly looking for the center piece of plastic frame where all the buttons are located in. If anyone knows of anywhere for parts hep would be greatly appreciated thanks everyone

Yea the first link is one of the first sites I looked at just wasn't for sure if the button placement and everything internal is the same on the us cellular model. And the fact that u have to buy 5 of them lol but hey if they are the same and decent priced I won't mind 4 spares lol....second link I just saw accessories no parts.
Yea the night I posted this I had checked eBay and didn't see anything I will have to keep an eye open. Thanks guys if anyone knows of any more I would appreciate it.

Still looking globaldirect will not sell parts to an individual. They claim to only sale to companies that do repairs not direct to the consumer. I don't understand the logic behind it.

That sux, go to one of the phone repair shops near you, and make a deal, you pay say $5 over the price of the parts if they order, and give them to you.
Then you make the repair.

I am going to give this one last bump in hopes someone might know of anywhere else that might sell parts. Would love to give this tablet some new life. Thanks everyone.

Are you looking for something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BACK-COVER-...992625?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item519b9b3af1

Actually yes those are the parts I am looking for only problem is they are for GSM only. I found one other that's states it is for P1000 only. Man why are finding parts so hard I would even buy a damaged tablet to get the chassis piece I need lol. Thank you one more.bump to see if anyone can give me one last pointer to find the parts. Thank you everyone

Finger print scanner - where can I get new hardware?

Ok, so I bought my third Atrix today. This one is for a friend of mine. When I picked it up the only thing that seemed to not work is the finger print scanner. I did everything I could think of software wise to get it to work with no success.
I came to the conclusion that it must be a hardware issue. I tore mine apart and the "new" one swapped my known good scanner in and works with no issues.
I looked on ebay found nothing but housings. Does anyone know where I can find a scanner, or does anyone have a parts phone that they can sell me a good one for a fair price?

I have also tried to search for parts, the only place that seems to sell some parts are globaldirectparts maybe worth sending them an email.

There is a post in these forums with a link to a replacement fingerprint scanner you can by online. A quick search should find it.
EDIT:
Screw it... here is what I found on my first search.
http://www.cellulardr.com/atandt-at...rint-reader-assembly-with-flexible-cable.html

thank you for posting something I can use. I tried searching for a while and all I could find were links to roms that didn't support the scanner.
In my efforts to get the phone rooted and ready for use the volume down button also stopped working for no real reason. So now I am stuck.

Flash touch recovery, and flash a Tom that supports a fp scanner. And all Tom's arebrooted now anyways. So that should get you rolling

I dont know if you read the origonal post. But i swapped the sensor with another to prove it was the issue. I need a new sensor not a software issue.
And cnn.cn didn't have anything listed. I checked already.

Hey there,
Here is a suggestion, try looking for Atrix that suffer from Hard bricks and tare use them as spare parts for you own 2.
They shouldn't cost to much, and I guess you could find some on ebay.

finger print is good idea

Yes, I have tried this already once. I ended up fixing what was wrong with the phone that was supposed to be for parts.
I ordered another one now that has no way in hell of being repairable(cost more than the last one that got repaired). So the goal is to swap the logic board into the new one and save the rest for a rainy day.
This will be my 5th atrix
1. was lost to a cab driver
2. is going strong
3. is the dud that needs work (bought for a friend)
4. is the parts phone that is now the nicest one and repaired (keep around as a backup/ loner)
5. is on its way to complete 3
Good thing I bought the screen protector with a lifetime warranty .
