Original Poster/Source is also in this forum. I tried to find the original link for the post but I can't. Credits to him, and if someone can find it please give a link. TY. The pics above are from a tutorial of the original poster for replacing the connector of the XDA I, but it should work well with the XDA II since that's how I'm syncing with my PC right now. Remember that pins 1-22 are left to right when your xda is facing UP (see below).

jo_iii Thanx a lot.
May be anyone can help identifying where path for pin #14 goes to? It doesn't exist anymore on my mb

what display?

Hello, I need to replace the display and digitalizer (preferably all together). So I wanted to ask what type of screen should I buy? (European version of the device)

HD2 has 2 different types of lcd panel. There is a thread somewhere in the hd2 fora which describes the 2 panel types, the differences between them, and the app you can use to find out which panel you have in your device. I think the app is called Android System Info, but its been a long time. Sorry I can't find the thread to link you to it because I'm away from my computer, but a search with correct keywords should get you there

He is here but slightly different problem all over the internet, I saw that they have chip on the display but I do not have it there. I have a chip firmly fixed on the board and then connected via a flex cable to the display.

As far as you want to replace combo(lcd+touchscreen/digitizer), you may buy no matter what version('cause they are interchangeable), rumours say US version would be better in quality!

Lego QI Charger [Tutorial] #noSolder

Hello, this tutorial is for people who want a wireless charger that is cheap, easy to assemble, and easy to modify/decorate (and works with cases). Inspired by this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545350 (too tricky for me)
You will need the following:
Lego (see pictures)
QI coil
1) Make the base. The bottom slab is 8x8, has to be thin as coil is placed ontop! (Note my base is gridded and I have little coil decorations, this is purely aethetic)

}
2) Add coil
3) Add the bottom cover using a 6x6 panel and two 8x2 (Don't press down too hard or you might damage the circuit board
4) Optional fill in gap between planks
5) Flip over and you're finished!
​All this for US $15.58 + some lego!

That is pretty awesome, and thank you for post where you got the Qi coil from

Pretty fantastic.

I accidentally snapped one of the pins as I was cleaning the dust inside so I have used foil paper to "replace" it?
Anyone know what them pins are for? I remember seeing a diagram but I can't find it anymore

I think those are the contacts for the gps antenna.
Edit: Don't think foil is going to work, probably have an impedance mismatch now. Have you tried to see if GPS works?

GPS seems to be working fine to be honest. I tried gps status and toolbox app, Google maps and sygic and works fine

Well, if it is working fine, then its all good I suppose

Lol I just thank god I've got no major problems. I can't afford a new tablet lol

[Q] Can you identify this part?

Opened up an old PC on a stick to see what I could do to improve wireless signal and ended up breaking off what appears to be a part of the wifi antenna however I have no idea what it is correctly called, a few google searches and I come up short. I want to know what the part is called so that hopefully I can find out how to reattach it.
The part looks like a gold color pin that pushes in, sort of like a micro plunger. When the case is put back together there is a metal plate on the case that makes contact with this pin to create an antenna of sorts.
I would just solder it back on but I can't make out any metal contact left to solder to on the spot where it broke off from.

Howdy mate,
That's a surface mount pogo pin, Lson is a company that makes them, you could probably salvage one if you could find an old car kit or phone charger from the late 90's. You could also replace it with a piece of springy steel from a battery terminal but that might affect the antenna wavelength.
Tetsuo

Thank you!
That is exactly correct
