Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

do you have any other parts?
When I read certain posts in these forums, I wonder: So annoying online.... what it would be like to meet these people in real life? Although I guess everybody has one of these in their office...

Amen I agree

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!

I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337102
Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.
I left the phone in my pocket and somehow the screen is cracked now. The phone is still functional except I lost the touchscreen. Anyone knows where I can buy a replacement screen?
Thanks
Seriously, this question is asked twice a week. Does no one search? No offense, but I can now see why the long standing members get so frustrated.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main.asp?area=home - They will replace it for you for like $160.
ebay also has a bunch of screens. Try eBay UK. There is a disassembly guide on the WIKI homepage http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
I got a broken/cracked tilt from a co-worker for free (he replaced his with an iphone). I bought a screen off of ebay for about $80 and replaced it. It wasn't hard if you have a steady hand and some patience. I used the guide located here http://michael-channon.mobile.spaces.live.com/ent.aspx?h=cns!4472423472DCFC38!287.
If you're not technically inclined then u may want to go with the advice of the above poster and pay the $160 to have it replaced.
Or you can put it on ebay, I know some one who will buy it.
My Htc Tytn or Titan or sprint mogul or 6800, hmmm I think it has enough names also had the lcd crack. I was curious if anyone knows how much sprint charges to fix a broken LCD and touchscreen? I don't want to have to send my phone away to pocketpctechs in the mail if I don't have to. I also don't have the insurance and it's too late for me to add-on now because I checked.
Also, has anyone paid pocketpctechs.com to fix theirs yet? Says it costs $169 plus you pay the shipping to them. Do they provide good service/work and do they honor their warranties? Thanks in advance if anyone has any more info.

erm, wrong forum dude
well i bought a screen for my Kaiser off eBay, but it wont get here for another 2 weeks; great, it was supposed to be here today. if anyone has a new Tilt/8925/Kaiser screen they'd be willing to sell (pref in USA for shipping reasons) let me know; i need one in less than a week as im going overseas; the data on my phone and having my phone there is CRITICAL, my only backup phone is not compatible with european networks.
im willing to pay for overnight shipping and send payment overnight as well. please email me at [email protected] ASAP!
thanks,
Slade
hey, take a look at this, it seems like this tilt had the infamous red light of death happen to it, so he's selling it cheap,

Hi there,
Well I have had my wizard for a while now and the screen has managed to aqiure some scratches over the years and I found out that on ebay you can get a new screen for like £8 with tools and instructions, so this got me thinking, as I really like this phone even though it is old and outdated it still manages to keep up in some areas and thanks to you guys it keeps getting new software and os's so I thought well instead of spending £400 on a new phone why not spend like £50 on a new screen and then possibly fix the biggest problem i have with this phone, the RAM.... its really not enough and i was wondering if it was possible to get a new upgraded RAM chip and just get someone experienced in soldering and stuff to take out the old one and put in a new one. Now I know this really sounds far fetched and even if it is possible it may end up way to expensive, and alot easier to get a new phone but if anyone has any ideas if it is possible id love to know.
PS sorry if this is a seriously dumb question but I like my massive outdated smart phone I just wish it had more ram.
Thanks
Well to all those interested, i have found out that it is possible to get it to 128 MB but it will cost around £70 and i can get a secondhand HTC TYTN II for £100 so I think ill go for that instead.
That's cool
Is it available freely or did you have to do a lot of digging?
And any ideas how to install the new memory?
Well from what i found out in another thread on this site is that a company called retronix will take your phone in and change the ram chips for you. Here is the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359590
I have sent them an email asking about it but have not recieved a reply.
I hope this will be helpfull for you, I have decided against it as you can buy a second hand tytn II for almost the same price and also as I will start uni in september I will be getting a contract that comes with the Touch Pro 2 cant wait it looks like an awsome phone.
I had my g1 since it first came out I wanted to know

(Mostly new though)..... my g1 touch doesn't work from the top
And the bottom of the screen have no respond
Plz help thanks in advance....

ebay or amazon
I recommend ebay..But dont forget to check craigslist.org too. Sometimes you find better deals there and u can even bargain for price.
