Hi Ive been watching these forums for a few weeks now, and now its time for my first post. Ive had an xda2i for six months now, but unfortunately ive broke the screen. I know how to replace this but am unable to find anywhere that sells spare parts for this model, does anybody know of a supplier. Before you tell me to send off for repair, ive already been quoted £165 to repair it and i dont think this is good for me as i only paid £99 for the xda2i new and i could get the exec new for £150. Please help if you know where i can get this part. Many thanks

Evening, on eBay you can get the screen for £77 shipped from Taiwan, not sure if its simple to replace, do not know if soldering is required. I have opened Xda 2 to replace housing before so not hard to get to
Heres is an eBay search link:

Where can you get an exec for £150 new?
Exec for 150?
From tiscali mobiles on an o2 contract, i ordered last week and im still waiting, although since i ordered the price has gone up slightly. It was cheaper for me to do this than getting my xda2i repaired. I still have six months to run on my current contract, but ive give that sim card to my misses instead of her PAYG sim. I am checking my order daily, but still no news although they say next delivery date should be 10 October. Fingers Crossed

Thanks for the link, i may just buy one.
I dismantled my xda2i last night to see if the screen from my ipaq would fit, unfortunately the ribbon connection (if thats what its called) wouldnt line up, so put the xda2i back together with the broken screen.
So i dont see a problem or any soldering required to fit the new screen if i buy one, unless anyone knows differently. If anyone has experience in this department then i would appreciate you knoledge. Thanks
very cool...ive got the same problem and if it can be fixed with approx 100 pound i wouldnt mind payin it...for now i got a 3100 to use off ebay for 20 pounds...anyways let me know if youve ordered one
I have got a spare screen for my IIi just incase and there is no soldering involved.
Daz.
Where did you get your spare screen from? How much did it cost? and am i right in believeing that it is just a case of dismanteling the unit poping in the new screen and reasembling?
As i said before i dismantled and reasembled last night and the unit fired up no probs?
Thanks
I bought the whole phone for £100 for spares.
Yes afaik you just dismantel, put the new screen into place and attach the ribbon cable(it actually snaps into place) then reassemble.
Daz.
wicked...you made me one happy man
ordered one but just as i was tryin to open it...theres these weird screws...can someone tell me what are they called and where i could buy a screwdriver for that kind of screw plz?
cheers
Hi,
They are call TORQ screws and you will need a TORQ 6 Screwdriver to undo them they are available everywhere even on ebay, do you know how to take the camera cover (black bit) off?
I downloaded the service manual for the XDA2i from a link that someone put on this forum, that will show you how to dismantel and reassemble your PDA. Im sorry i dont know where this link is but someone else might be able to add it to this thread.
Ive orderd my screen and am just waiting for delivery.

Bad connecter and repairing / O2 customer service
Hi all, how are you ?
I am fine but not my XDA IIi.
I purchased it from UK but I live in Austraia now.
I've been using the device only for 2 months, but now it has a problem, which is "can charge but cannot sync" through original cradle and charger.
And it cannot be even charged by using non-original (third party) USB charger or retractable sync cable.
I just have been using it with normal care, did not drop or broke or anything..
I found that USB connecter looks one of the weak point of the device itself and to fix it , cost almost all the amount of purchasing new device through this forum.
I really think that this problem should be covered by warranty but just because my device came from UK so that service centre here in Australia told me as long as O2 UK allow me to use warranty here, then local service agent can fix it with the warranty.
So after a long chasing , at last I contacted UK service center, repair center , and customer service. ( i called there from Australia as they don't have any email contact!)
As I expected, I could not expect much support from them.
They told me to send it to my friend in UK and ask him/her to bring it to O2 shop in UK. But still not sure to be covered with warranty......
I wish I could have good skill of soldering or fixing up electronical skills.... then I can open it up and fix it as there are some instructions to open up XDAIIi....
Anyway, has anyone have same problem and succeeded to fix up XDA IIi connecter ??? (Not XDA II as I found some quote in this whole forum... )
is anyone able to suggest the best way for me?
Thank you for reading long comment and listening my sad mumbling.
Regards
Tama

A friend of mine attempted to repair the USB/Cradle connector on his XDA IIi and completely killed it. I know this isn't what you want to hear but please be very careful if you take this job on yourself or you could render it useless.
Daz.
i think the cheapest way to get it fixed is to send it to imate repair center in dubai...O2 shop will just send it to their repair center in uk and will charge you £17 just to send it there...it be cheaper jus to contact the repair center yourself it be cheaper and faster
thanks for the comments
Dear Cadburys Man,thanks, oh sounds really Risky
and
Dear m4mad,
Dubai,,, oh ,, not familiar at all but I will try to find O2shop according to your advice,
thanks for your comments!

hello,
i recently bought a used htc legend, and found that the screen does not respond in the right way(some parts not respond at all)
i went to htc distributor in Egypt, they told me it's not responsive and the replacement will cost me 1450 EGP (about $245) which is a lot.
i searched on ebay and found something called "LCD Touch Screen Digitizer For HTC G6 Legend" for just $38, and other thing called "LCD Replacement Screen For HTC LEGEND"
i just want to know is this the same thing that the distributor was going to change ? the touch screen or the LCD ? which is related to not being responsive ?
the problem i am facing is this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977322
so is this the right thing to buy? or what, because the difference in price is huge.
so is this what i need :
http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Replacement...961084?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item415598f23c
or this one :
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Gl...602352?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0417b5b0
your phone is not under warranty?
Sent from my Legend using XDA Premium App
it's under warranty but in the uk, which means nothing to the distributor here in egypt, they'll fix it for a price.
You need the Digitiser.Please bare in mind that its not particularly easy to change as its stuck to the lcd and you have to use a hairdryer.Dust gets under, it doesnt fit quite right
Hi, I want to ask about Legend digitizer, mine have broken before and I buy it for around $15 at ebay, and I installed it myself but the feel and touch of the digitizer is not as good as the OEM (Original) HTC Digitizer.
Can I know where to get a good one? I mean the best quality, which is similar like the original HTC digitizer and I prefer online shopping..
Hi guys, I know it's been a while since this question was raised. I am searching exactly for that aswell.
I bought three digitizers so far on ebay and all were of very poor quality. The first is very slow in detecting inputs, the other two were not even functional on some parts of the screen.
All of them were declared as HTC original part and costed about 20 Euro.
So please if anybody knows where to buy a good digitizer for the Legend please tell where it is.
I live in Germany but wouldnt mind importing it from some other company.
Thanks very much!

Hi
My sister snatched my phone and it fell and now the screen is cracked . The display and touch is fine so the phone is pretty usable.
Please tell me how should I fix it or get it fixed. I read ifixit rates it 1/10.
I bought it from eBay USA and I live in India so I dont have manufacturer warranty.
All suggestion will be welcomed
The guy in this thread took the phone apart, says it's not as hard as he first thought:

Hello
I dropped my nokia 7 plus TA-1046 on the bathroom floor the other day, so screen cracked
I cant find a new complete replacement screen anywhere. Do any of you know where to purchase a new one, that would ship worldwide?
Cheers
Try Aliexpress:
I've already tried aliexpress, ebay, Amazon and all these kind og sites. The Screen is not in stock anywhere for the Plus model.
I guess it will be avaliable within some time, but of anyone of you sees it in stock anywhere, then please let me know.
I'm too have this problem ?????

I've had the same problem. Unfortunately the N7+ is very well build. Repairing the screen is very difficult and if you can find the screen it is very expensive, especially regarding the price to buy a new one. After some research I found a screen (which wasn't in stock) at a website and they asked €200,- including repair. The cheapest I found was €175,- incl. repair. Didn't find just a screen. Could buy a new one for just €320,- Since a repaired phone never works as good as it once did, I went for a new one after all

I had this 3 months after I bought it. (Last year in August).
I used the online HMD repair center, got it fixed in 10 days for €165 with collection and delivery. They did an okay job ( 2 days after repair I noticed a very, very thin scratch on the screen, need to look very carefully to find it)
I'll try to find the link for the website later.
I do not think locsl repair centre will do a better and cheaper job.
