Spilt Liquor on my tilt!!

Last night I spilt liquor on now the touch screen is the only thing that does not work; everthing else is fine also no water marks. What do you suggest that I should do? Should I send it away for repair or sell it. The phone has an unlocked HTC rom especially other upgrades with no scrathes or visible physical damage.

momma always told me liquor was no good...
who is going to buy a kaiser without a working touch screen

Well I really needed one last week, until I got tired of looking. My keyboard was wearing out, buttons are all scratched up, camera's dirty, sliding mechanism is gone.
But I suggest you sell, once ATT find's out you spilled water in it, they will keep your phone and bill you for another one.

Please tell me you licked up all the liquor first?

Good liquor should never goto waste...the real question is, was it good liquor?

well is it htc or att or mda...calll the company and make crap up....tell them u have problems with the video driver, cant make calls, camera is sluggish and see if they can send u another one or at least for their fee like usually 50 bucks.....and wut kind of liquor was it?

Yea, lying is the best option. YOU made a mistake so LIE to get a new one.

change lcd screen tytn II

hi, i bought a new lcd for my tytn II, can you tell me how to change it? i can't open the case...

You will break warranty on phone doing it youreself, if you dont have that kinda insurance (hard to claim on theese issues) you should talk to nearest el. shop, but remeber they are prolly not HTC experts. Best thing is to goto provider and talk to them, otherwise check this how to pick youre device apart

Yeh it is dead expensive, I got an extra warranty on my device, costed me additional 250$ But if I drop the phone to the floor and it breaks I get a new one same day, and whit my handling... Its cheap. Just ie. changing a lcd cost 390$ over here, you prolly can get it cheaper somewhere though. But then again everything is expensive in Norway hehe, device itself new lays around 800-1000$ boxed, some even take more! so doing it youreself is a real moneysaver for sure.
Good luck, hope everything works out for you

my kaiser has never fall, i think that the LCD had a problem since born, maybe it was thinner in the point it broke (only with the touch of finger)
but htc assistance sucks!
however I need a T5 screwdriver to open the phone but i can't find it

Help.. Bricked G1 (HTC Dream)

ok, to make it easier to explain, I made a video. Sorry for talking so low.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQBEARaw9E
I recorded that with my G1, the "broken" G1 is my brothers.
We have a serious problem, we cannot exchange it, we bought it last week and since we bought it has been having problems. We were going to take it to the store and then yesterday morning, it was like that, it was working "fine" at night. The problem is that we took it to the store, and the "dot" behind the battery is red, which "means" it got wet... but it didn't, I'm not going to lie, it didn't get wet my brother has taken care of that phone more than anything, it still has all the plastic protectors, even if the phone was acting really weird...
Ok ok, to the point. It doesn't do anything, as you saw in the video, when you press the power button the buttons flash until I depress it, and then they just stay on. The same happens when I try going into recovery, or bootloader modes, nothing... I decided to leave it like that for a few hours, nothing.
Either the device is bricked, the screen is damaged, or the whole device is screwed.... What do you guys think??
Thanks in advance.

It could very well be all 3. Did you guys get this from T-Mobile?

The dot in the battery compartment of my phone is red (well, orange I supposed) and my phone has never been wet and is working fine. I'd argue the case if I were you.
Regards,
Dave

Yes we did get it directly from a (official) T-Mobile store (not a 3rd party retailer).. we went there and they complained about the phone "getting wet"... the phone looks perfect and never gotten wet.

I am going to argue, I already started arguing by calling tmobile directly but they *****ed about why didnt i take the phone within the 14-day warranty if it was giving me issues and waited for this to happen....... they couldn't do anything, whatever, I'm going to try to take this further because, just like you, I can assure you my phone hasn't gotten wet.
Can you help me an send me a picture of your phone? So I could have some proof, my own phone's dot is white, and some other phones from friends/family are also white...
Thanks!

I've heard stories of that indicator turning red/pink when people have left the phone in the bathroom while showering... supposedly a lot of steam can turn it red.

Yeah they told me about this, and I actually *****ed my brother about this but he doesn't do this, I do, and my phone is fine. Anyways, he told me he just leaves the phone charging in the room while he showers...

So I had to get a new one by claiming the insurance ($130 deductible.....) there was no win for me here...... the only thing was that I was able to keep the damaged phone.
I called HTC to try and figure out how much it would be to fix it. The lady that answered the phone said the symptoms were like those of a bad motherboard, and she said it'd cost me around $475 to fix it, wait, what??.....
So, know, idk what to do with this crap. I might try to repair it.
Thanks anyways guys!

Ah, right. Tell you what... since I'm volunteering my time to trace the circuit and my phone works perfectly, there is nothing for me to gain out of this, so I'm not the one to be asking for money.
If you can't afford it yourself, might be a community thing, but hold off for a while, there is someone else I've been communicating with privately who may be sending a bricked board, if it works out, then I won't need yours.

Ill volunteer a bricked board

Find a broken G1 on eBay or CG and try repairing it yourself. Might run you under $100 to do this and it's probably a great learning experience...not to mention you could end up with another working G1.

Thanks, and yeah I was already looking into one, found one locally with a broken screen this guy might be giving it to me for like 30 bucks so that'd be great. I have the tools and everything, Ive fixed phones, including iPhones, and also HW unlock on iPhones when there was that moment were SW unlock was not possible and I did like 2 HW unlocks... ok too much talk
Thanks anyways to every one, If I can't fix this I'd definately consider sending the MB to lbcoder

My ebay board just arrive! i hope to fix my phone tomorrow.

Shoulda just swap the stickers and got the warranty replacement.

replacement screen and case?

Hey, I'm curious to know if anyone knows where to get replacement parts for the leo. I recently fell down a flight of stair and destroyed everything to do with my leo's outsides. The screen is trashed, and the case it bent. So, I need to replace it all. Any information would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
-Caid.

When in doubt, contact HTC (And doubt some more)
It's been a few days since I first started this thread. Lots of views but no replies. So... I wrote HTC about it (on their website) and their response was quite unbelievably stupid.
I mentioned that I live in China, and that I'd like to know how I could have it repaired. I put in the serial number as well. They replied by telling me that my phone was sold in France and that I should go back to France to get it repaired, otherwise I can go to Hong Kong or Taiwan to get it repaired.
I am really curious what kind of person would write such a silly reply. As though plane tickets cost the same as cab rides, and the flight is only a hop and a skip away.
I've written them back and clarified the kind of help I am looking for (An address to send my phone to, and a quote for parts and labour) here's hoping they don't misinterpret it again and send me more bs.
Not much point to my writing this other than to say, if you need to contact HTC with a similar query, assume you're writing to an idiot and be as absolutely clear as you can. You may even want to suggest to them what is common sense, and not assume that they're going to think of the most reasonable method themselves.

Hi,
Sorry to hear of your accident.
If your phone is that badly damaged why don't you just claim off your phone or house insurance and get a new one? Sounds like this is much less hassle than trying to get it repaired.
I am assuming you have some form of insurance for the phone?

Or send it to HTC repair. I heard it will cost like €150 to repair.

Have a nearly same question.
My HD2 screen one day have a big black dot at the center. I give my HD2 to the local HTC service, they answer me that, they cannot give me a warranty because it's broken by pressing from outside into a screen.
So, if replace a screen will cost about 230USD.
I take my HD2, come home, search on eBay for the screen replacement. It cost only 80USD. Maybe it's a solution for you too.

Hi,
where did you get the replacement screen for $80?
Thanks.

I've had the same problem too a couple of times. Fortunately both times the dot disappeared after pressing the screen gently in various places. What's disturbing, though, is that I've had the phone for a week only and gone to great lengths to ensure it has not been under any physical pressure (or psychological, for that matter ). Have anyone else noticed this; is this a weakness with the phone or have I just been unlucky?

u should take it to htc service !

I've just dropped mine and accidentally closed a door on it, so now mine is full of scratches too.
I'll take it back to the service center in Taiwan when I get back there, though rather annoyingly that won't be until March at the earliest If the HK service center can do it though, I can drop it in there in Feb ... I wonder if their pricing will be the same ...

Hey guys I dropped my HD2 too and the screen cracked. I noticed that there are repair kits at around 80 USD. Anyone has any video or tutorial on how to replace the screen with the repair kit? Or has anyone self-repaired the screen successfully?
I'll have the chance to either get a new HD2 (and sell the broken one), the Hero or perhaps the Nexus One so I want to see if it is possible to do a cheap fix and get a new toy.

[Q] Internally cracked screen

Hi all just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this happening before. I got the XZ on the day of release and yesterday when I took it off charge i noticed a crack in the LCD. The phone has no physical damage whatsoever, no cracked glass or chip or anything, its in new condition. I'm particularly careful with my phone and do not recall it ever being dropped or misused. Any advice?
Sorry i am unallowed to post a link so i have attached a photo
tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2a9v2w7&s=6
Thanks

Never heard of an cracked LCD on the XZ ? but mine and some other people having a spontaneously cracked glass. Als got the XZ on the day of release (Netherlands) So welcome to the club. Feel sorry for you too. Lets get united to get our point at SONY.
facebook - XperiaZScreenIssueCommunity - hope this helps ones there are a lot of participants evolved to make a statement.

mine just cracked now , just like that very wierd
and at the same place actually , gonna take it to service center tomorrow hope they dont charge a fortune for it..

just returning from service center defnitely not happy , for a small crack caused by heat they are saying I need to pay 650$ to replace screen , very shocking and unreasonable. I have escalated to the SONY customer support and they should contact me back today or monday.. guys anyone else had this problem ?

Took 3 weeks but Sony did fix it, i mentioned several times the phone was subject to no physical damage, tbh i didnt have to put up much of a fight it just took a lifetime to get my phone back. Its like brand new again.
Hope you get yours sorted.
