Hi guys
for a couple of days now my battery cover doesnt properly fix anymore. You know how when u put it back on you have the two golden hooks at the bottom of the battery place on the x1 - it seems that the left one of these two hooks doesnt hold anymore cause it is at that spot that the cover is lose and consequently keeps falling off all the time.
hope this was somehow clear
any idea how to fix this?
I had this issue with the first 2 X1's I purchased. If you cannot get a replacement just simply try squeezing together at the two clip points so that they grip the phone tighter when applied. Alot of people have had this issue and there have been alot of threads created about this, if this is no help then hit up the search bar.
i just slightly bent the metal side flaps inwards lightly to make the little flat bits press into thier sockets better. the gold things are contacts. i'm guessing to detect if the cover is removed or to make the backplate act as a grounded shield. but non the less they don't do anything for holding the backplate in place it's all down to those 2 little flat bits that grab spots on the side plastics

I remembered that I had left my XDA IIi in my friend's car as I was leaving, so I asked him if he could open his car and pass it to me. Before my eyes he makes this huge fumble, like a bar of soap in his hands, and it comes crashing to the concrete floor!! :shock: :x
Apart from a few scuffs and scratches it seemed ok, until I tried to use the standby button. There was no click to it, and it only works now and again if I press it in the right place with enough force.
So I dismantled it to take a further look, and I can clearly see that the micro switch is broken.
Has anyone attempted to unsolder one of these? Looks a little too dodgy to me with the multi-layered board. As I don't use the 'tape recorder' button, I could swap it for that one if it was possible.
Such a shame for such small damage. Any ideas what I should do?

I've had the g1 since launch and the charging cover is starting to get loose. The clip on the left side of the cover doesn't stay closed anymore and always hangs out halfway.
Just wondering if anyone has the same problem and found a fix.
Fix
OK, so I played around a little bit and realized that the clips on the left and right of the mini usb cover are not really used to keep the cover in place.
To tighten up the cover again I used 3 pieces of scotch tape, layered on top of each other, on the long side of the hexagon shape of the mini usb. Make sure the tape is on there well and wont come off too easily. It has worked so far for me, but don't know how long it will last.
If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be appreciated.
I've been contemplating taking mine off.
I took mine off. No need to open a flap to charge now
Had no probs whatsoever since
over the past few weeks some of the buttons (namely left soft key, up and left) have stopped working, i've tried numerous roms just incase but it's definatley a hardware issue, now, i've dismanted the phone using the diamantos guide to see if anything jumps out at me, gave the phone a damn good cleaning whilst i had the chance, put it back together....but nothing, everything seems to be in order, all components in their rightful place but i still cant work it out, does anyone know if this is a common problem or if theres a fix as i've been unsuccessful in my searches.
actually, i just found the solution and it worked a treat, thanks anyway people.
btw, if anyone would like to know what i did then i'll be more than happy to share the solution.
Hi godofwap,
I have the same problem with a trinity I bought used. Tried to stick some papers under the buttons but that didn`t help so I`m very curious how You managed to get them working again. Hope You find the time to write a short notice.
Have some fine days,
FlyBy_1
ok, no problem, heres what i did.
before you start please be aware that this is a very delicate procedure and you should take care as this may naff up your beloved trinity.
ok, i first disassembled my trinity using the dimantos guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311463,
now, when you get to the keyboard / button pcb take it out if, you look closely you'll notice theres a thin adhesive plastic cover covering the metalic buttons, very very carefull peel this back (i used a sharp knife to get to it), making sure not to completely remove it, try to only expose the underneath of the buttons in question, you'll see that the buttons come away with the plasic leaving the underneath exposed, now, using a cotton bud and some lightly applied alcohol clean the contacts then when all is done, replace the plastic and make sure its firmly pressed back down you may notice it making a different, kind of sharper clicking noise when depressed than before meaning its worked, repeat for all buttons.
i think whats going on here is the gum or glue from the plastic film has "leaked" if you will, onto the plates meaning theres no contact from the buttons, this would also account for the very slight change in sound when you now press the button.
i found this info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-289737.html
Nice find mate; sounds like a solution for my problem cause when I got my phone the first I had to do was to disassemble and clean the heck outta it, there was dust everywhere as if the old owner had laid it on the moon for a week. But who thought the buttons are actually separatable... strange technique.
Thanks for the hint, at least now I´ve got something to do over the holidays at my parents-in-law
Once again thanks for Your hint.
The problem with mine was actually not dust and stuff between the two halves but too much pressure by the former owner.
After I had separated the plastic film from the board I saw that there were very deep dents where the pick of the metal discs had pushed the soft pcb material down. So I cleaned them anyway and then reapplied the film with an offset of just a fraction of a millimetre so they make perfect contact with the pcb again.
Every single button again works perfectly now
Hiya,
Is there any way to close the gap between the keyboard and the screen when the phone is closed. It looks as though when it's closed there ae slide springs which keep it together?
Does it appear to be slightly loose - like its lifting off and when you press the top plate it reduces the gap?
I think they all do that - tried to tighten the hinges a bit with the screws attaching the two pieces - really doesn't make a difference. I do think you can also tighten the hinge with the single "hidden" screw which will also tighten the tilt mechanism. Haven't tried that yet - because you have to remove a few extra pieces from the slider piece. Not really sure if it will work - the rails I think have some slack build in to them and the only way to remove it would be to bend the rails which I don't want to attempt.
I also noticed on the new TILT2's there is a ton of floppy-ness when the unit is closed. I passed on upgrading because it felt cheap - the display did it and a new one out of the box did it. Feels like the two pieces when closed are very loose.
I'd like to see if my battery is just dead or if the tablet is now the issue. I can't seem to find a way to open this sucker up.
Any insight on this? It only seems to divide at the glass and on the back - neither option comes easy to "move".
My advice - don't.
The back is glued into place, and in most cases the issues are with the screen, not with the battery. Does it still get detected when you connect it to a pc? If yes, then it is running, it is just the screen that is dead.
If you really want to ruin your warranty, you can use a plastic tool to unglue the textured back, by starting between the back and the power switch. Get some double sided glue transparent tape, you'll need it later to re-assemble the tablet.
I did get brave and just try to open it with a plastic tool - came off pretty easy actually. Start down near the charger and speaker hole and wiggle your way around the edges. No real glue or anything - just an outside trim and back that comes off and on pretty cleanly. Battery pull and attempt at a charge didn't appear to work but we'll see
