I pressed a paperclip into what I thought was the reset hole on my MDA Compact IV.
On the bottom are two holes, a little one next to the USB port (where I poked the clip) and a longer one further along which I suspect is the mic.
What have I just poked?
RTFM?
Remove your stylus and look somewhere in that hole
Always be careful of what you poke otheriwse you could catch a virus
Yes it was the MIC
While I have not opened the diamond as of yet in my phone repairs job... Most mics have a fair bit of space before the actual mic gets hit
The reset hole itself is visible once you remove the stylus
It is in the corner where the tip of the stylus would be - and is in red so you cant miss it
I generally take the back off, even though you can press reset without the cover being taken off, i find it sometimes a strain as its an angle

Does the screen feel loose when the device is closed? Or do you mean its loose when its open? Mine was loose when it was closed and almost made a creaking sound when I applied pressure to the bottom right corner, I removed the screws, but was unsure how to disassemble the unit (at the time), so I gave it a good dusting, replaced the screws and It's fine now. What my little dusting solved is still a mystery to me, but it worked.
Hi,
When I pull my stylus - nothing happens... doesn't turn on or unlock device.
or during a call opens "notes".
Everything is Checked - it should do it, but it won't...
Any Ideas ???
Thanks
Take out the stylus, then remove the rear panel from your diamond. Look to see if the tiny magnet strip has become dislodged. This happened to mine after I'd had it just two days... it made it difficult to insert the stylus, and it just felt all wrong, because the strip had stuck itself in an awkward position. It also wouldn't recognize when the stylus was withdrawn.
I very nearly returned my diamond under warranty, until I looked closely at the stylus aperture and noticed this issue. I fixed it with a tiny spot of super glue on the magnetic strip and deft use of some plastic tweezers... saved days of re-programming a replacement.
Mr. Orange owes me a beer I reckon ;-)
Thanks for the reply...
The magnetic strip is there... I feel the magnet working...
but the diamond doesn't recognize when its in or out...
Anyone ?? Help - is it hardware or software ????
also a problem with the magnet strip
I own my diamond now for three weeks and something went wrong with the magnetstrip..it looks like it is still inplace but the magnetic force is stronger on the outside of the phone then on the inside (where its supposed to be) I'm trying to move te strip in the right position. but is not working.(seems like te strip is in the correct position)
It just happened. Really annoying..The phone goes on when I remove the stylus. (and the stylus is holding , but I don't get "the magnetic snap anymore"

also in the diamond's manual
Hello All
I'm going to be replacing the mic on my blue angle so took the device apart have a quick look.
I've put it back together, but find the volume button/slider no longer works and is very loose, wobbling around. Obviously something has fallen out without me noticing. What is it which should be under the volume slider button?
Thanks for any help
Jon
hy y dont u try & reassemble it carefully
-------------------------------------------------
hop that helps
well i think you got the same case as mine, there's a little strip of plastic tab that connects itself to the push and pull button. Too bad its too small that upon reassembling, unnoticibly you will likely to bend it or cut it off. Mine's got cut so maybe you can replace the tab with a glued plastic tab of the same size.
Does anyone know where the stylus sensor is located? I am having trouble with it, and the stylus is not moving in and out like it used to. I pushed what looked like a magnet back into the side of the stylus port, and now the stylus moves freely again, but now the sensor doesn't work at all. In Gyrator, it just shows STYLUS, not IN or OUT like it used to.
Thanks
Switch...
It's not a sensor, it's a micro-switch located about a third of the way up the stylus slot. It's operated by a small plastic 'notch' which releases the switch when you draw the stylus out. It sounds like the plastic notch is either broken or missing altogether. Take the back cover off, remove the stylus and look in the stylus slot level with the first 'n' in 4GB Internal Storage. I don't know what you can do about it if it is indeed broken?
Thanks.
I had it working again after messing with it with a paper clip, but it didn't last long. Guess ill wait for something else to break, and bring it to Sprint for repair. Funny thing is, the phone is less than a week old.
Ok got pissed off and now my volume buttons do not work.
Two questions
1. Good place to get replacement for those buttons
2. Registry entry to edit and lock volume at max
button board repair
I had a volume button issue as well before and looked for a button replacement. But when I took out the actual button, it was an easy fix for me.
Taking it out is easy breezy. Remove your battery back, battery, SIM card and pry open the bottom cover (a bit of force.. or youtube it). Remove all the obvious torx screws (including the kickstand) and you have clean access to the volume button board. Check this photo out: http://www.parts4repair.com/product_images/j/521/htc_hd7_volume_flex_cable_01__71999_zoom.jpg
All you have to do is disconnect the ribon cable (lift up the little plastic lock) and you can take out the whole button board. The board itself is a simple circuit. I pealed back the black tape (from both ends so I don't have to remove the tape completely) and cleaned the two silver button cones (the actual metallic cup thing that gives you the clicking) and the circuit board. When you put the tape back (check you alignment), just don't tighten the fabric so much the button is anchored too tightly to the board. Slip the puppy back in and you're good to go. Fixed my sticking/nonclicking/nonworking volume buttons.
Otherwise, last I checked, the button board is around $15 off the bay.
EDIT: might want to consider upgrading the microSD card too. I took open the buttom cover too much on one HD7 and the little clips eventually broke off. Just a thought.
Well I got pissed off with it changing volume up/town at will so a my one is broken now ...
Maybe I'll buy new one.
