Hi
Yesterday, while i was talking with my girl with my himalaya i was eating milk flakes. By my mistake my himalaya fell into milk, when on voice connection. Only thing which has not been into milk is microphone and dpad. I told her that my himalaya is in milk but I could talk anyway (lol). I got my himalaya out of milk, told that I must disconnect and then himalaya died. I tried to run it but all up buttons are connected (pressed) so it went into hardreset mode. I tried to run without any changes (NO, NO, NO) and it ran but all buttons without dpad and phone buttons were pressed. Today, after dry night, I tried to run. There is some changes: Digitizer failed, screen has dark stains, buttons are sometimes pressed, but I can run without HR mode.
What should I do?

Widzę niezła wtopa W każdym razie nie włączaj już telefonu dopóki go nie wyczyścisz bo tylko pogorszysz sytuację
Po pierwsz kup izopropanol(jak nie wiesz gdzie to napisz na priva), tylko uważaj na ceny bo na necie za 100ml się płaci 30zł a normalnie z 1l się płaci 5zł
Rozbierz telefon na części pierwsze, następnie weź pałeczki kosmetyczne mocz je obficie w izopropanol i czyść płytkę telefonu z zabrudzeń aż do skutku.
Ekranu nie uratujesz za bardzo już zostanie jak jest Pewnie mleko weszło między folię ekranu i tego się już nie da naprawić
Powodzenia
In english
I see you had quite an accident Dont try to turn on phone again until you clean him because situatiom might get worst
First you need to buy a isopropylene(if you dont know where to buy pm me), watch out for price this should cost 5zł for 1l
Then dismantle your hima, take cosmetic stick wet in isopropylene and clean PCB until you dont see any milk on it.
Screen is doomed, so stain is not removeable.
Good luck man
Do not swich on your device till it's totally dryed and cleaned !!!
Look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275788
and search/google for 'dismantle' there are instructions.
eg:http://www.mikechannon.net/
I put my himalaya into Nail polish remover water... No acetylen, just alcohol and glicol. Now it turn on - anything works except 2 things:
- No standby button (vacuumed into vacuum cleaner, lol) Must have subtitute
- Darken plames on display shown there:

How to fix? Any suggestions?
As i said before, you cant fix your screen. The only thing you can do is replace with another one
Stand by button can be easly replaced with some rubber and plastic
As mj_weed said, you'll need a replacement part. I'd suggest dismantling it first and inspecting both the LCD and digitizer. It may be one or the other (or possibly both).
Taking apart the digitizer and the display!!!

Even Moderator sometimes are wrong!
Dismantle the device and disconnect the TS/Display from the mainboard.
After that, take out the display by using a small screwdriver to remove the 2 screws fixing the display and the speaker.
After that, push the small plastic lashes on the sides of the display and take it out of the cover upwards.
Now, you should have the metal back covering a white plastic frame and the digitizer mounted on the front.
The digitizer can be carefully removed, using a razor blade.
From now on: no more dust around!!!! (to aero: no milk!!!) Ha, Ha, sorry.
It is fixed with super thin double sided soldering tape. As you have been carefully enough and didn't brake the glass part of the TS you can fix it after cleaning without the need of something new.
The display itself can be take apart with the same screwdriver opening the sides of the metal back. Don't bend the metal, it is is just clipped.
Inside there are some (1 or 2?) filmslides and the back side of the display to clean .
This should have been all. In case the digitizer is broken, I recovered one of the broken display of my 8.5! Euro Alpine. (No joke!)
The (used) replacement display, I bought at X-mas came from china.
10 Euro cost (differs on changing course) and 12 Euro shipping.
There are still some left!! It took about 14 days to arrive, so it is worth waiting, as this is still half the price of a new one!!!
Good luck, to everyone on your own DIY-experiences.

Good to hear, I think it's some rest of your breakfast on the milky filmslides that should cover the back of the display to brighten it via the LED at the bottom of that white frame.
You vacuumed your I/O knob? Crazy.

Ask Ather, we'll get that managed.
Is yous still broken (or ready to get flashed again), or do you need one as secondary device?
My himalaya can be used... as a secondary monitor, sms server, and as a brick.
No sound anyway.

I had a similar issue and unfortunately no amount of cleaning resolved it. In my situation, I needed a new LCD. Often times that's the case, that's why it's always a good idea to take it apart first and check it out for yourself. Good luck to all!
Good news, to all who like aoeroflylubys' roms, a new used device is on the way!
same thing happened to me when we had the great flood back in Oct., I was able to restore my HIMA by drying it up bt the digitizer stoped working. i tried removing the digitizer and i learned that it was jst a piece of glass that sticks above the LCD. It could be possible that some of the liquid is still stuck in the middle of the LCD and the digitizer mirror. I think it realy needs a replacement of the digitizer. what i did to my HIMA was I bought a replacement LCD from Ebay in china and it works fine now.
I'm sorry, friend.
HI aeroflyluby
I had my fall But as a final screen, you lose and I need to change it.
I've carved out. Inside a plastic sheet multi-nested.
1. When you need water to quickly remove the LCD screen of your Ecedngm out and make it dry.
2. You be careful if you never fix it. But I am a mechanic by telephone.
3. In the end, you will definitely change the screen. The monitor in my price used is very rare and expensive.
Dear admins and mods, please close this thread, as it outdated 5 month now!!
I donated a working device to luby and he became one of the most active cookers (beside
YAHAHANUVOELEGANLC) since then.
I'm still working on a cheap hima for efsane, as his roms are still present and wanted here.
It's my way to show those cockers, that their work is worthfull.
Thanks to globalization :http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180488280008&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I coupled a new project of mine, less then 12 euros!! (BTW my first non HTC device)
So, I am really convinced, to get a new used hima for efsane at last, to get him back to our beloved forum.

I'm 95% happy with it, although the paint has a couple of chips where I put it back together when it wasn't 100% hard and/or had not adhered to the surface. I didn't sand it down first, which may turn out to be a mistake. If the paint starts to chip I will sand it down and re-apply it. I used Plasti-kote Satin Black (2 coats) then Clear Acrylic (2 coats), which is supposed to dry in 30-40 minutes.
All in all the paint worked pretty well - it came out pretty smooth, and the paint remained reasonably thin.
Nice work.
I can see that you had very sterile painting conditions. I once painted my amiga500 outside and it got all dusty.
I've never understood someone wanting to do something like this, but wow, after seeing how yours turned out, that is Really nice! I really like how it looks (but not sure I'm ready to pull mine apart to do that)
Great job!
I have to say that look really nice...I want to do something like that...
Damn dog. That's pretty sic. I like it. Impressive!
Looks damn good! I don't think I have the cajones to do something like this though. Great job.
Thanks for the positive feedback guys.
I understand (and promote!) being reticent about taking your beloved Wizard apart. I've damaged it in a few ways because of it. Thank god I got the Wizard reasonably cheaply so it's not so painful. (I might put together a horror stories post. )
I can provide a day #2 upload that the paint is holding up in an ok fashion. There's may be 5-6 tiny specks where the paint has come off, so I'm likely to hold out and see how it holds out over the next week.
: \
sorry bro but I am not a fan of the look of the qtek/mda/xda models...but this makes them look a lot better and not as feminie, cheers
Nice black wizard. We have a white and a black The back panel's paint job is better than I've expected, with all the grooves, which may cause problems if thick layer of paint are applied.
BTW, I think you ought to have your stylus's "butt" painted as well
Very nice!
I've been wanting to fins a spare 8125 case to try and paint black. In case I mess it up, it would be just a spare so I wouldn't have to use it, haha
Looks good though!

You can find a service manual on the net for it. Search for 'prodigy service manual'. You will need a couple of tiny screwdrivers:
00pt philips (cross)
T5x50 torx (6 star)

If you do I'd be interested to hear your experience with it. I asked my father about it (retired auto/car painter) and he suggested using scotch bright for the sanding. I've yet to try it though..
is there anywhere where i could find a through tutorial on how to do this?? it looks awesome!
Looks very nice
I have an extra and am thinking about painting it. I used to build model cars when I was younger, and we would always use a very fine sandpaper. I don't remember the grit on it. It was a silicon carbide or aluminum oxide. Those papers both work great for plastic. I may give it a shot. If I do I will post the pics.
Peace,
Hmmm Waiting for the tuto!
Can someone make one?
How is the paint job holding up? I'd like to do this to mine, but I'm waiting to see if I need to sand it down first.
That's gorgeous. Very inspiring. I might have to hit up some painter friends of mine.
Hey its gorgeous but can you write a guide how to do that. THNX.

did you break your screen when your HD2 is inside the noreve leather case?
Yes, but it was open 'mea culpa'
Ouch sorry to hear about this. I read somewhere about it is better to get a kit with the LCD and digitizer together. Some people seemed not to have luck trying to separate and replace and put back together. Just what I read, I have no idea.
Good luck and hope you get it going soon.
Thanks bobsbbq. Some questions:
1.- Then, if I bought together (touchscreen and LCD) it would be easier to replaced them
2.- Where can I buy them together?
Thanks bob
I dont have instructions for you how to swap the display, but I can say the following: I had an Samsung Omnia, and the resistive touchscreen there was very bad. But there was an replacement which seemed to work much better. So I bought a new LCD + digitizer and started to disassemble the whole phone. I have to say, I'm not very good in disassembling electronics or reparing them. But after an hour of hard work where I sometimes had a bad feeling by pulling out the different flat-cables, the touchscreen was replaced and worked like a charm.
What I wanted to say with my post: I think you can do it, if you have the right equipment and some time. Good luck.
I broke the screen on my Diamond2 and tried to fix it myself, but broke it beyond repair.
Be careful!

oh man... I feel for you. You can check out a thread in the Accessories section of the HD1. Basically you are better off buying TouchScreen and LCD preassembled and replace the whole thing
Same thing happened to mine although the damage is lesser. Is the bezel around the glass (same piece of plastic that makes the back cover) damaged?
Mine is chipped heaps in the corner
I successfully replaced the screen on my Touch HD but was unable to remove the LCD screen from the digitizer so had to purchase a whole kit for about $200.
I can't find any for the HD2 though
To the people saying so: are you sure that the LCD is stuck to the digitizer like in the Touch HD or just speculation / thinking you read it somewhere?

Hi there,
I remember seeing the inside of the HTC HD2 online once and the screen had a suction pad on in it abit like this one. Maybe you should investigate that. I will post the link if I can find it.
You may also want to check your warranty you never know.

Hey folks...
I own my HD2 for about 1 year now. Unfortunately (or not), I bought only a few months ago a silicone case and this is why my backcover was really damaged.
Deep scratches, the clear lacquer sayd goodbye at some spots and so on. I think u know
So i decided to do something against it

You need..
~ 3 different kinds of abrasive paper with something about 280, 350, 400 granulation.
polishing paste
toothpaste (xtra white) xD
and an old t-shirt or something like that.. (for polishing)
____________________________________________________________
Take the roughest abrasive paper first and remove the paint.
This could be little tricky cause the backcover has this "brushed" look, so you have to remove all this little "brushed look" lines.
After the paint is gone take the next paper (take little water and wet it) and grind it always in the same direction. (no circle moves, this would ruin it)
Now take the finest paper and again take a little water to make it extra fine and grind it too.
Now the backcover should be free of any painting and the surface should be smooth...
To make it high shiny take the polishing paste and a part of ure old shirt or whatever and start polishing xD
This can take a little while cause the backcover is made of "stainless steel"
Finnish it with some toothpaste the same way you did with the polishing paste.
After cleaning it unter hot water with a little liquid soap dry it and look at your wonderfull shiny backcover

I think its made of aluminium not stainless steel, but otherwise its awesome looking! i remember someone else doing that on here too

The problem is, an original HTC backcover costs about 25$ (20€)... to much to have lets say 5 or 10 in stock And i dont want to buy this stuff from "hong kong" its about 12$ but you dont know what you get ..
off topic: check this out guys, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905670 best looking hd2...
I polished mine to a mirrored finish and it shows every hand print and it scratches very easily, but it hasn't tarnished in the 4-5 months since I polished it.
I polished it by first using a belt sander with medium grit (220) and sanding against the grain of the textured lines on the back. Then I used a buffing wheel with some emery buffing compound to get rid of the sanding marks. After that I switched to a yellow buffing compound gave it a final polish.
I thought the polished back was too smooth so I decided to give it a little texture by using a plastic stencil, some spray adhesive, masking tape, and a $10 flea market sandblaster with about 80psi with silica sand.

I like that idea, but I tried some different paints prior to the sandblasting and nothing seem to hold very well. I don't know what the metal is but I tried bluing it and it didn't change a bit. I even tried a translucent paint dip that I thought I could clear coat but it was flaking off just from handling it before I could even start clear coating.
If I were going to try it again I think I would try an aluminum paint primer then paint it before sandblasting the stencil.
That toothpaste idea worked great for taking out the fine scratches that were on it.
Just had a wonderful start this morning and droped my LG Phone, any good idea to replace the screen.

Gorilla glass or not it is not that resistant. First time in my pocket with a key (I took it out immediately) and it got slightly scratched.
Gorilla Glass is far from indestructible, sure it's better than regular glass, but at the end of the day, it's still glass.
I am also curious. Can you please make a picture of the screen?

Damn dude ! How did you do that ?!
I was filming and the thing just slipped out of my hands and fell on the right curved edge of the glass - probably got the whole situation on camera lol

ok got the preliminary bill for 60€ - they didn't know the actual price for the gorilla
but after seeing the video of opening the sucker, I thought better safe than sorry
Hi there,
I know this threat is old, but I recently crashed my phone glass, and I can't fin any replacement. I found a video on YouTube where you can see how to replace it yourself, but not the spare part itself.
The links you posted above take you to several spare parts online shops, but they don't have the P990 ones (I already asked).
So would you tell me a place, virtual or physical, where I can buy a replacement glass?
PD: I'm from Spain, so a technical service where they may fix the problem would be nice too

Doubt it's hard to fit.
You could send it to germany. Repair costs about 65 Euro (including the new screen). Look at german eBay "Optimus Speed Display Reparatur"
Optimus Speed is the german name of the 2x
If you need any help PN me
Good luck

I already done it. I had to replace my cracked glass. The worst part is that it's glued and has some hermetic parts. Be careful to not snatch the earpiece on the top while removing the glass because it is also glued :/

Thanks, j'ai entendu dire qu'il faut acheter du scotch double face pour fixer la dalle tactile, tu pourrais me confirmer cela stp.
Translantion: I've heard that when you change the OB touch screen you got to buy doubled-sided tape to secure the screen, does anybody knows if this is true?

No, this is full picture. You need to move the site to right side.
Great tutorial!! Thanks for the translation.
I hope I won't need to open my phone ever, but if the time comes it's good to have a reference point to start from.
Nice to hear it

yes, you may use some double sided adhesive tape, but only for hermetically seal the outline of the LCD screen (see the original one)
For the gluing, I used "Repair Extreme - Resiste A Tout" by Pattex. It's the best suitability, I think.
Unfortunately, it's no more dustproof because I righlty didn't seal the LCD
I have a question regarding this subject:
My OB's screen has been replaced with a replacement screen by technicians of my cellular provider. (because it suddenly stopped working)
Is it sure that the replacement screen is an original part and completely identical to the one that comes with the phone?

Unsolder the screen? I dont think so
I have disassambled the LG as far as the pictures in the first post show. Thats really easy and for me there was no need for an tutorial.
But to remove the speaker u need access from the backside and from the frontside of the phone. From the backside u have to unsolder the speakercables ( black and red on the left side ) and from the frontside u have to remove the speaker itself.
But to do so, u have to remove the screen first. And thats the point, i need some help.
sorry for the misunderstanding, but your sentence wasn't clear to me.
so, you could do it this way :
warm the part in an oven to weak the glue, then push off the screen on its top by the backside of the chassis
