Hi,
I would like to replace my wizard microfone. I already have a replacement one, but I'm having difficulties taking the old one out. I'm afraid of damaging something because it's really sticky and I don't know if it is glued or if it's welded.
Can you help to discove how to remove the old mic?
Thanks.
Best regards,
hsousa

Hey,
Just looking for some advice where I should go for a cheap solution on how to fix my phone. Basically, everything still works great! Apart from the big crack, the screen doesn't seem to have been damaged (eg. All the pixels look fine, touch still works, only glass/plastic panel is cracked)
I'm actually really impressed by how it took such a hard hit and the device works fine, the screen didn't even smash! Basically it nudged in between my car seat where you close the door, didn't realise it fell out my pocket and closed the door (you could imagine it would be a hard hit) and the phone lives.
If I just needed the glass replaced, can it be done DIY? Or should I not bother and give it to a service centre? I got it from 3 but I know they'll probably overcharge me for something like this..
Any suggestions welcome, thanks!
if the damage is only to the exterior screen then you may want to consider getting this:

be carful! the screen from my firlfreidns diamond is broken too and I had ordered one of those touchscreens... but the screen which comes has no "window" for the frontcamera and after disassembling the phone I saw that it is NOT POSSIBLE to remove the touchscreenglas from the frame.
Replacement LCD & Digitiser
I recently replaced an lcd and digitiser on a HTC Touch Diamond. I bought the complete screen (lcd & digitiser) as one pre-assembled unit from a guy on Ebay (£34.99). Fits straight into the front of the unit frame. I don't think you can remove just the digitiser because it is stuck onto the LCD, and the LCD itself is very fragile. Disassembly is fairly straight forward if you've got the right tools.
Thanks for all your help guys! I've just been bogged down with work so havn't been able to get back here for awhile.
I've taken some time to look into the webiste and others, decided to just order it off ebay in the end anyways. However, taking note from the previous 2 posts, would I be wasting my time ordering just the digitiser itself? I would assume that's what HerrVorragend also meant by "that it is NOT POSSIBLE to remove the touchscreenglas from the frame."
If so, why do they bother selling them online separately? I guess I won't really find an answer, just seems stupid to me. Anyways, guess I'm stuck purchasing both LCD + Digitiser but as a final question, does anyone have any guidelines as how I should replace this myself? I'm very paranoid about this sort of thing because it's only 1 month old, however, I have also replaced an LCD on my old Nokia 6280 before using a step-by-step picture guide online.
Don't think I'd have much luck finding one for this model, hey.. haha.
Once again, thanks!
Double posted, sorry.

If you google for HTC Diamond Service Manual, that will help greatly with assembly and disassembly - there are also a couple of videos on Youtube. From my experience the most tricky part is re-connecting the two flex connectors when you re-install the main board. I use the back of a pair of tweezers to slide underneath the connector carefully. If you are nervous about doing it and happy to cover postage costs, I can replace the LCD for you - PM me for details and I'll see what i can do.

I just got a new keypad that I want to replace the chrome one with. Does anyone know how to replace it? I heard about the four screw method, but am not 100% sure what to do. I don't want to take the entire phone apart just to replace a keypad. What is the easiest and fastest way to do this? If anyone knows, please share because I didn't really find a for sure way through searching. I would like to do this tonight, so let me know soon. Thanks.
use the search dude,
i'm looking to replace mine too and i found out that you can either
1. buy the whole keyboard assembly, disassemble the phone and replace the whole keyboard assembly it
2. buy just the keyboard and replace it, you dont even have to disassemble as discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458991
guess which way i'm going to use.......

Did you even read my post? I asked how to remove the outer keypad not the inner keyboard. I want to know how to do it without taking apart the entire phone.
my bad
the 4 screws method u refer to i assume is probably from this thread a few days ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490043. i've attached an image to show which 4 screws to remove.
I did try to pry the front housing off after removing that 4 screws but i was not successful, although i have to admit, i was using an old credit card to do the prying.
Thanks. I have one of those plastic prying tool I used to open my Ipod, so those should work. Is there anything I need to be carful of when taking off the cover, like a ribbon cable? I just don't want to snap on and be without my phone like what happened with my Ipod.
look at the disassembly guides, once you remove that outer housing, you need to disconnect one connector and that's it.
also.....since u're not disassembling the whole device, theres gonna be a ribbon cable that connects to the main board that you cant remove. that's the one u gotta be careful
whoa
where did u guys find the original kaiser button pad?
i wanted to replace mine also, but all i found was an all-chrome ugly one.
Thanks guys. It worked great and was pretty simple to replace. Here is a link to where I found the instructions:

Hey people, does anyone knows where to buy (online) little metal grill that fits on speakerphone for my HTC Legend. I try to search ebay but with no luck. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance...
You need to buy the main chassis for the phone for this part..if you need one i have a spare but its attatched to a broken LCD (and working digitizer)
AFAIK this does not come with chasis (just ordered one from htcrepairparts.com, still waiting) But I need one too Friend threw me a backpack with my phone inside and it hit a metal pipe just above the grill...display works, but there is a huge dent and the grill is all squiffy...
Also no luck buying it online...I'll try to repair it when the housing comes...
whats that "grill"??
It's the metal thing covering the earphone (see attachment).
BTW: I've tried to take my Legend apart and it looks like you have to remove the digitizer from AMOLED to remove this grill, so changing it would be problematic at best...I'm gonna let it be as it is
oh thats the grill
maybe u can use another stuff, not the original one?
See this site
I used it to change my grill which i got off ebay with the chassis
I was only able to dismantle my Legend thanks to this site...
If it comes with a new chasis, I'm gonna ghange it too, but the specs didn't indicate the grill...I'll just wait till it comes.
Right ive taken my "spare" legend apart... I have a speaker grill in Grade B Condition (has one little bulge where the LED is)
This might sound like a dumb question, but I was considering finding a bricked captivate on craigslist just for the screen if I can get it for less than just the screen from somewhere else. I know that part of the screen is glued on and I assume that buying a new screen comes with fresh glue on it, so would it still work if I used the screen from another phone? I already have a new different phone, I just want to get my pictures off my old one and I unfortunately did not have USB debugging enabled when it broke because I can't connect it to my computer. Either that or something else is messed up too.
Thanks for any help!
Short answer is yes.
Remove whole screen from bricked unit. Replace whole screen on broken unit.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
you might want to invest in some 2mm adhesive strips. If you don't heat the glass enough you will need new sticky
edit: not all replacement screens come with new sticky, in fact most do not.
Hi all!
I bought a HTC One M7 with a cracked screen dirt cheap from a friend and am hoping to repair it myself and I've had a look around the q&a forums but anyone that references to genuine or "OG" HTC parts doesn't specify where you can actually order them from, I'd be looking for both speakers, lcd screen, digitizer and front speaker covers but am pretty unsure of which parts are actually legitimate on the internet.
Any help guys?
TIA

Screen repair here, fairly cheap and apparently 100% genuine, saves you a lot of hassle, i.e, breaking it apart and re-sealing it, plus the possibility of damaging other parts, also ring them and ask if they can replace the other parts for you.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repair-Re...410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f93950c2
if not then the speakers are here, cheap as chips, you could always ask the LCD company, if you send the speakers with the phone, if they wouldn't mind changing them at the same time, it would take them 2 mins whilst they have it apart.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...m7+speakers&_nkw=htc+one+m7+speakers&_sacat=0
for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Top-F...sPouches&var=460531438066&hash=item2594a951a1
All for less than £100, cant really beat that for the whole front end of the phone.
If you are going to replace the screen might I suggest you order an entire front housing with digitizer and screen and back housing. You will destroy your phones body when you open it. Order those parts and follow the complete breakdown and reassembly videos on YouTube. They are all good.
Is it hard to change just back cover?

Personally I wouldn't take the risk of opening it all up myself, inside is extremely fragile and the motherboard connections for instance is as easy to rip in half as a piece of cloth, I destroyed a HTC Desire HD whilst trying to change the LCD and Digitalizer and the back of that was screwed on, the HTC One series is 10 times harder to open up.
