I know there's been a thread about replacing the outer keypad of the Tilt but it never seemed to have been resolved. My chrome has come off considerably bad (my send and end key no longer look like buttons, no more windows, my mail key is almost a box, and the k on the ok button looks real funky). I see Cnn.cn has recently updated their parts section and now have the OEM Tilt keypad, I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the outer keypad without completely disassembling the phone, cuz i refuse to pay $70 for someone to replace it when i can do it myself for 10.
I'm pretty sure someone wrote one, (I wrote in the thread) search it out.
No There are no disassembly guides anywhere. Nope mikechannon did not setup a site for this...
Dude, are you following me?

I've had my Diamond for about a week or so now and after a few days I noticed a relatively minor cosmetic issue. As seen in the pics below, the button pad on the bottom is slightly raised on the right side. The buttons still function as normal. It's not really noticeable when you're holding the device during normal usage, but pretty visible when looking at it from certain angles. Are there any decent disassembly instructions/walkthroughs for the Sprint Diamond floating around? I found the service manual for the euro diamond, but not the CDMA Sprint version. I can probably do it myself, but it always helps to have a backup in case I forget how to re-assemble certain parts. I'm not sure it's something I really want to bother sending the phone back for or anything. I can live with it if I can't fix it myself.

Diamond service manual
Hi if you PM me your email adress I will email you the service manual.

I've got the normal Diamond (squared version) and it also has the this problem since the very first day, but on the left side of the panel (the home button). I checked a friend's diamond and it had exactly the same thing on the same place.
Anybody else?
I somewhat fixed it by just fabricating a small washer (out of a twist tie) that goes under the screw on that side, so when you tighten the screw down it pulls the button pad inward a little. It's not perfect, but much better.
Hi,
my keyboard, some of the keys are not good... I have to push realy realy hard and 4-5 times if I want to succeed with the letter. and sometimes the same letters are a bit more ok but still hard-pushing.

I'm also facing the same problem. I've heard that the keyboard can be cleaned to rectify this. Any suggestions how to do it or where to look?
I think if it is the case for the tilt ( see the second image of the link) it will be quite hard to clean it (it looks encapsulated)

probably I will try to order one for my Tilt?
Thanks - I heard it can be cleaned and then keyboard works like new
But I could not find on the internet ..
i think you'd either have to use compressed air or disassemble it using the guide and clean it up.

I have 2 keyboards on the way to replace on 2 of our tilts, plus the tool kit. I have downloaded the manual too.
can comebody tell me if this is Tilt At&T compartable kaypad , so to buy it?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260456182960
No clue how to put that in. I ordered 2 with the sliders, BUT they both came in today and are both junk. The space key is falling out of one, and the other, the menu key is faling out.
These are the ones i ordered, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220425633486&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
So bascially I drop my phone (2 feet off the ground) and it crack the screen.
Everything still works fine, only the glass is broken.
My question is I found LCD replacement on ebay for around $120~.
So if I replace that, is not an OLED anymore?!

I think I found the exact one and I'm pretty sure that is a SAMOLED just named incorrectly I don't think anyone would make a LCD screen for a captivate... but if so a SAMOLED would be well worth it over LCD
if its the screen for a cappy it is the right part and will be the same.
I see thanks,
Just debaiting if I should bother fixing it.
Dont really want to spend the $130~ for a DIY I'm not really comfortable with.
Anyone know some cheaper place for parts.
Contract ending in few months.
Going to switch to another provider which I can get a new phone.
I don't know anywhere you might be able to get one cheap mostly because it's the screen I imagine you can't really buy one that wasn't from a different captivate and since you're about to switch and get a new phone I'd live with it haha it's not worth that much money if you don't plan to use it much anymore
Is the screen and front glass one piece? It looks like the screen under the glass is fine.
I agree that there probably isn't a LCD for the captivate.

The edge under the power button looks pretty rough also.
The One mini M4 suffered from this and has cracks all along the outside plastic band.

Thank you mate I know that problem. I've had like four or five Mini's and they all had the exact same issue and got replaced over and over again until I decided to give it away and upgrade to the bigger sibbling.
I stil have no clue how to repair this frame.. A friend has had the same problem and his powerbutton broke. And without this button the phone is kind of useless..
Hey guys!
My phone started having troubles with the touch (how unexpected right?)
Well, the thing is, when I was gonna remove the digitizer connector cable, I tried pulling the black plastic thing backwards instead of flipping it up.
Reason I did this was because I've repaired a few laptops and they had the type of connector were you pull the plastic thing back to release the connector.
The black plastic thing broke off in half so now I can't securely connect the digitizer anymore.
So, question is, can I get a replacement? I took one from another old HTC phone but it's not the correct one. (Lenght wise is correct, but not with the holes for the pins)
At 1:54 it shows the thing I'm talking about.
Youtube link (imbedded link didnt work)
Also attaches a printscreen of it for less hassle.

The black plastic piece that shows is the one I'm talking about!
Better view:
I don't even know the name of these parts so I don't even know what to search for. Please help me out guys.
Probably best way is to buy a new complete connector and remove the black plastic piece and fasten it onto the phones one.
Kind regards,
Tony
EDIT: Note sure if it's the same, but found this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-Clamshell-Type-Bottom-Port-6Pin-0-5mm-Pitch-FFC-FPC-Sockets-Connector-/231679255046?hash=item35f128e206:g:ry4AAOSwHnFV7Psd
Is this the same type?
Nobody?
