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!

QTEK 2020 POWER battery,the world record, I do it my self.can last more than a week in normal
it is 1200+2200*3=7800mah, SIX times MORE than the orginal battery, and the qtek2020 is wm5.0 frmo windows mobile 2003， I bought it three years ago
I found that this forum is for QTEK2020I, please help me to move the post to the "Himalaya & Andes" forum
Tell me do you walk around with that? if so do you walk leaning to one side? jeeeez must be like carrying a brick.
yes,I take it daily life. It's really much heavyer than the orginal battery,but being using for several days ,you will used to it,and you will fell how powerful when using gps(with buletooth),reding books,playing games it's. that's why I made it
Well I hate to tell you but I bought a 3600 Battery cost very little and I can go two / three days with out recharging if needed but soon as I connect to my car and the GPS its charged up and it doesn't weigh very much at all
yes,it's in city
but I make it for outdoor
LoL, amazing but for you security I think that you should not play with the batteries otherwise *BANG* likes LG one.
2 The Owl: Where did you buy 3600 battery an how much was it?
It was off of Ebay but I found their e-mail address it is [email protected]
and was £9.99 plus P & P which made it £15.98
Beware that the 3600mAh Battery comes from Hong Kong (which isn't a bad thing) but it does come with an extended back - and if you use them with a GPS, you will probably need to modify the holder to accommodate the extra depth of the battery.
But - the battery is really really good and worth having
I bought one of these mounts
http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=114876&#moreinfo
I also as has been previously stated bought one of these Batterys
http://www.digitalera.co.uk/products/XDA_Battery_for_O2_XDA_II_XDA_IIi_High_Capacity-759-44.html
Both work together with out ANY modifications
Forgot to say I do use it for the GPS and this is the uint

Try to turn off with the I/O button, Then twist the cover carefully.
In case the device switches on, it is a little bit dirt between cover an the digitizer/touchscreen. Sometimes it's just the twisted cover.
Try to clean carefully and lock al buttons except On-button.
Good luck

Thank you for helping, but the problem wasn't that. I put a MicroSD adapter in the slot without a microSD card. Stupid ah? I just want to protect from dust.

Hi Everyone,
I am from the USA and bought a S3 Mini 6 months ago on Amazon since I needed an unlocked phone for traveling abroad. The phone was working fine but now just will not turn on or charge. There it wasn't dropped or exposed to water. Amazon won't let me return it since it's been over 3 months, the seller also won't let me return it, and Samsung USA is saying they cannot help because it is an international phone and inside the battery case it says it was made in Vietnam. I called Samsung in Vietnam and they said I have to contact Samsung USA.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do? I tried contacting Samsung on Twitter and they haven't responded.
Your help is much appreciated!

I can't help you with the warranty, but if you can find another battery you may want to test using that first.
If the battery really really flat, you can try connecting the phone to charger for half a day. Happened to mine once, it did not even display charging.
