umm sry guys if i am screaming and with possible OT but its kinda urgent for me..
kk heres the story, i live in croatia in Europe.. i got my ppc cingular 8125 from ebay like 9 months ago and it was working fine... than one month ago the touchsreen would disalign, and than it went totally off... I sent it to the service here but they were unable to locate the proper error... they told they r quite sure the display controller went dead...
so, I am willing to send it in USA to a decent service... i got a friend in florida which could manage this, so I ask u plz if u know any decent service which could be able to fix this problem... and for cheapest price if possible, cos guys here told me a new screen would cost around 200$ which is too much (i think... since for few more hundres dollars i can get a new one)... so plz, can u suggest me any good service at florida or near there?
thx guys

ps- will there be any problem, since i modded ppc with that antenna aluminium foil + the speaker gum (the one which is stick on them) is missing? I had no guarantee when i got it from ebay, of course..
im not sure of the price but im pretty sure there's instructions somewhere explaining how to open up the wizard and replace the screen. It sounds like all you'll need is a new touchscreen, which i thought was under $100. That is of course if you're willing to do it yourself.
Im sorry i cant help, but im going to bump this just so someone who does know can help you.
yea, i thought the same... on ebay there r touchscreens for cpl of bucks... but what if the problem isnt in touchscreen? could it be maybe that the whole LCD+touchscreen is dead? I have to say i can't see any bad pixel on lcd display, he is workign fine... but what if...
any suggestions? could it really be that just the touchscreen is dead?

and, of course, google is your friend
Hey everyone,
I got my Tilt in April and at that time AT&T did not offer phone inssurance for it. The far right side of my mini-usb port is bent a little and this makes it a bit picky about charging and syncing. AT&T said it voided my warranty and that they couldn't do anything and told me to call HTC and they said I would have to replace my WHOLE MOTHERBOARD. They also said it would cost $305 to replace the whole thing.
My question: is there anything I can do about this myself? I am so concerned because I would like to sell this to a friend but get the port fixed if possible. Is there any other way to get AT&T to get me a new tilt or fix "something else wrong with it"? I can still sell it to my friend but I could get a bit more for it if this was fixed.
Thank you for any help.
You can fix this yourself by installing a new mini plug, they are fairly cheap, there is a few threads that have discussed how to do this yourself , if you do not mind taking apart your tilt...
Check the Wiki out as well
Or maybe I could have just been rude and told you to search just like you did to another user earlier...hmmmm
That was a fairly obvious question. I have not been able to find any specific threads about this for the kaiser. Also did not find it in the wiki. But it would be easy to over look seeing as I must type all this from my phone because my computer is dead at the moment. I will look tomorrow at school.
put in mini plug in this forums search , there are a couple of threads with decent info in them.. one of them has a link to taking the kaiser apart, and also has a link to a place the has the mini plug for $15 and also will says they will install it for $79....not bad if you do not have the skills..
PPC Techs are the ones offering the service

Since my soldering skills suck, this is what I would do...
So I recently broke my mini usb port when trying to fix the pins so it would work with my car charger. The first time I did this it worked flawlessly, but when I did it again the 5th pin broke. I know you can buy a replacement piece for like $5, but how hard is it to fix yourself? I talked to my dad who used to be an electrical engineer and he said you need a special soldering gun to install it. Is this true? If so, would it be like around $100 to have someone do? Also, does anyone know if a computer repair store could fix it? I have had my phone for about a year so I believe the warranty is gone since I didn't get an extended one. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Problem fixed
I had this same problem with my at&t tilt, broken usb port. I search the web and found a company called pocketpctechs.com. Order the sync connector repair service which is around $80. i sent them my phone and they fixed my problem hopefully this is helpful.
80 bucks? ow ._.
this happened to me a while back. Found ppctech and place my order as well. just went down there and dropped my phone off since it was close by. Picked it up the same day. Price is kind of steep, but couldnt find anything else. Tech who fixed it asked me if I like the modded rom I had on it and he was thinking of puting it on there too. lol
Thanks. I would prefer to take it to a shop because I can't be without a phone for a couple days. Could a computer repair shop do this kind of work if I bring in the part? I got one of those local.
why dont you ask that shop if they will be able to do it?
Hey guys, have searched everywhere, both my boards are fried in my tilts... one my screen gets all weird colors after i wake it up from sleep... (fine after i reboot but once i sleep and come back on the color gets really funky) and the other the keyboard light is ON ALL the time, closed or open keyboard light is on all the time.... I have taken them both apart to no avail, im figuring the motherboards might have gotten a little fried while i was in the hottub and the steam got to them? Anyone know where to get them?
really?....
None knows where to get a motherboard or fix these problems?...
Did you ever find a source for a motherboard? I'm in need of one too...

I saw everything BUT motherboads. Did I miss something?
Thanks for the reply.
I'm in need of a board too because, of all things, my reset button broke. It appears that your best bet is to buy a broken screen phone or something similarly damaged but still functional.
anyone have any luck on this?
I just found this place on Google. But why pay $175 when you can get a Tilt on Ebay or Craigslist for that amount.

Nice find. But I agree, for the price, I would not pay that for just the Motherboard. I called them to see if they would sell the MB without labor, and they said no, they only offer parts with services. For less money, I will end up buying another Tilt on eBay and then have extra parts for future repairs.
I would try Craigslist first, you might find one close to you that you can see/hold before buying. Good luck.
Hello guys, I've got quite weird problem. Today morning, I tried to run android on my Tilt, but when I've done flashing, my phone couldn't find sim card (which was in it). I thought it was maybe ROM problem, so I've changed it to another and it was the same. Phone couldn't find sim card which was in it. Okey, I tried to change sim to one from another operator and was still the same... At last, I reflashed my kaiser to Win Mobile 6.5 (shifu 4.3 ROM, best for me) and it's all the same! It didn't crash or something like it, so I think it must be software problem.
What do you think guys, why it can't find sim?
Actually, I've got shifu 4.3 ROM, Radio 1.70.19.09 and HardSPL 3.29.
What shall I do to get it back to work?
Waiting for your advice.
//Edit: found a solution to this, searching the forum. I´ll try it and then say if it works.
ive got the same issue, let me now what u did to fix if u get it working
I tried to put a tape on my sim card to get it better connecting to the port, but it isn't still working... I read all topics about not working sim, but I haven't found real working answer. Can someone say what exactly should I do to make it working (without getting it to service)?
why without getting it to service?
some things are just hardware failures and no software can fix them. i have personally had this problem. read the FIRST page of the kaiser general forum and you will see at least 2-3 such threads. this is a common issue because of the moving parts in the kaiser. if the do-it-yourself tricks aren't working, then it is very very likely a fault in the main flex cable as detailed in the threads i am mentioning.
Yeah, I've seen that and it's really getting me down...
Why not? Just because I had a issue with not contacting usb port, I got my kaiser to service (not original, just something like "buy-sell phones service) and it costed me about 120zł (it's 30 euro, on that current). It wasn't done good. If I had a required stuff to solder it, I'd done that by myself. Next, my kaiser falled off my knee, when I was playing my guitar and writing an sms (I mean, I had guitar on my chest and I was writing sms in the same time) and slider works only in one place (not two - right and left, just only right). I tried to repair it, but it's just torned plastic and I can't do anything with it.
Now, sim card reader has f*cked up... I don't 've got enought money to pay for all things to do with my Tilt, so I think I'd lie down in my drawer...
Goodbye kaiser, hlip... ;(
Maybe, later, I'd buy G1 .
sorry to hear about the entire story. i used my tytn2 for a full 2 years. i had the main flex cable repaired last month and my repair guy also did a poor job. he put in a tilt's main flex cable, so my sim started working again. BUT! he didn't notice that the tilt does not have a front cam. so now my tytn2's front cam does not work.
i used the repaired tytn2 just fine for the past month. i just got an hd2 yesterday because i couldn't resist!
but it was worth having my kaiser repaired because now i can sell it. if i did not have it repaired, no one would want to buy a phone whose sim card doesn't work!
Yeah, I used my for about 1,5 year, but it's second hand phone - it was used by my friend for about year. How much did you pay for that repair? Just wanna know what prices are for that .
HD2... Man, you've got world's controlling center in your hands!
Congratulations .
I'm thinking of selling my kaiser like "sim not working, just for parts or to repair!", but I'll wait for the price in service.
i'm in a country where i can't use ebay/paypal, otherwise i would have ordered a brand new part for the kaiser. these parts are available as "do-it-yourself" kits for about $35.
where i am, i had to have it replaced by a local service shop. these shops rarely have replacement parts for "exotic" phones like the kaiser. so i had to settle for a cannibalized part from a used tilt for about $45 i still think it was worth it because without repairing it, i could probably sell it for about $50. after repairing it, i can probably sell it for about $150+ in the market here. so i will still make a profit of 150-45=$100+ compared to a profit of $50 without having it repaired.
