Hi Ive been watching these forums for a few weeks now, and now its time for my first post. Ive had an xda2i for six months now, but unfortunately ive broke the screen. I know how to replace this but am unable to find anywhere that sells spare parts for this model, does anybody know of a supplier. Before you tell me to send off for repair, ive already been quoted £165 to repair it and i dont think this is good for me as i only paid £99 for the xda2i new and i could get the exec new for £150. Please help if you know where i can get this part. Many thanks

Evening, on eBay you can get the screen for £77 shipped from Taiwan, not sure if its simple to replace, do not know if soldering is required. I have opened Xda 2 to replace housing before so not hard to get to
Heres is an eBay search link:

Where can you get an exec for £150 new?
Exec for 150?
From tiscali mobiles on an o2 contract, i ordered last week and im still waiting, although since i ordered the price has gone up slightly. It was cheaper for me to do this than getting my xda2i repaired. I still have six months to run on my current contract, but ive give that sim card to my misses instead of her PAYG sim. I am checking my order daily, but still no news although they say next delivery date should be 10 October. Fingers Crossed

Thanks for the link, i may just buy one.
I dismantled my xda2i last night to see if the screen from my ipaq would fit, unfortunately the ribbon connection (if thats what its called) wouldnt line up, so put the xda2i back together with the broken screen.
So i dont see a problem or any soldering required to fit the new screen if i buy one, unless anyone knows differently. If anyone has experience in this department then i would appreciate you knoledge. Thanks
very cool...ive got the same problem and if it can be fixed with approx 100 pound i wouldnt mind payin it...for now i got a 3100 to use off ebay for 20 pounds...anyways let me know if youve ordered one
I have got a spare screen for my IIi just incase and there is no soldering involved.
Daz.
Where did you get your spare screen from? How much did it cost? and am i right in believeing that it is just a case of dismanteling the unit poping in the new screen and reasembling?
As i said before i dismantled and reasembled last night and the unit fired up no probs?
Thanks
I bought the whole phone for £100 for spares.
Yes afaik you just dismantel, put the new screen into place and attach the ribbon cable(it actually snaps into place) then reassemble.
Daz.
wicked...you made me one happy man
ordered one but just as i was tryin to open it...theres these weird screws...can someone tell me what are they called and where i could buy a screwdriver for that kind of screw plz?
cheers
Hi,
They are call TORQ screws and you will need a TORQ 6 Screwdriver to undo them they are available everywhere even on ebay, do you know how to take the camera cover (black bit) off?
I downloaded the service manual for the XDA2i from a link that someone put on this forum, that will show you how to dismantel and reassemble your PDA. Im sorry i dont know where this link is but someone else might be able to add it to this thread.
Ive orderd my screen and am just waiting for delivery.

Bad connecter and repairing / O2 customer service
Hi all, how are you ?
I am fine but not my XDA IIi.
I purchased it from UK but I live in Austraia now.
I've been using the device only for 2 months, but now it has a problem, which is "can charge but cannot sync" through original cradle and charger.
And it cannot be even charged by using non-original (third party) USB charger or retractable sync cable.
I just have been using it with normal care, did not drop or broke or anything..
I found that USB connecter looks one of the weak point of the device itself and to fix it , cost almost all the amount of purchasing new device through this forum.
I really think that this problem should be covered by warranty but just because my device came from UK so that service centre here in Australia told me as long as O2 UK allow me to use warranty here, then local service agent can fix it with the warranty.
So after a long chasing , at last I contacted UK service center, repair center , and customer service. ( i called there from Australia as they don't have any email contact!)
As I expected, I could not expect much support from them.
They told me to send it to my friend in UK and ask him/her to bring it to O2 shop in UK. But still not sure to be covered with warranty......
I wish I could have good skill of soldering or fixing up electronical skills.... then I can open it up and fix it as there are some instructions to open up XDAIIi....
Anyway, has anyone have same problem and succeeded to fix up XDA IIi connecter ??? (Not XDA II as I found some quote in this whole forum... )
is anyone able to suggest the best way for me?
Thank you for reading long comment and listening my sad mumbling.
Regards
Tama

A friend of mine attempted to repair the USB/Cradle connector on his XDA IIi and completely killed it. I know this isn't what you want to hear but please be very careful if you take this job on yourself or you could render it useless.
Daz.
i think the cheapest way to get it fixed is to send it to imate repair center in dubai...O2 shop will just send it to their repair center in uk and will charge you £17 just to send it there...it be cheaper jus to contact the repair center yourself it be cheaper and faster
thanks for the comments
Dear Cadburys Man,thanks, oh sounds really Risky
and
Dear m4mad,
Dubai,,, oh ,, not familiar at all but I will try to find O2shop according to your advice,
thanks for your comments!

So this morning I woke up to find that my tilt won't charge anymore unless I hold the power cable at an odd angle. After digging around in forums all day it seems that usb issues are kind of common on tilts? And that there is a newer version of the phone that has a better usb port? I've seen references to this but no one explicitly saying such, so I'm hoping someone can confirm if thats the case. I have a friend who got his tilt a few weeks after me and his usb port actually looks a bit different than mine so I wouldn't be surprised.
Anyway, I've only had this thing a few months so it should be under warranty still, but here's the problem: I have service with tmobile (in wisconsin) and not with AT&T. Will AT&T still honor the warranty? Also, I bought it off ebay, NIB supposedly, but still.. is that going to be a problem too?
Thanks.
I do hereby bump this thread. Anyone out there with some quick answers?
I'm pretty sure you need to buy the phone from an authorized ATT dealer and have service with ATT for that warranty to be in effect.
Hi

Hi Everyone,
I am from the USA and bought a S3 Mini 6 months ago on Amazon since I needed an unlocked phone for traveling abroad. The phone was working fine but now just will not turn on or charge. There it wasn't dropped or exposed to water. Amazon won't let me return it since it's been over 3 months, the seller also won't let me return it, and Samsung USA is saying they cannot help because it is an international phone and inside the battery case it says it was made in Vietnam. I called Samsung in Vietnam and they said I have to contact Samsung USA.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do? I tried contacting Samsung on Twitter and they haven't responded.
Your help is much appreciated!

I can't help you with the warranty, but if you can find another battery you may want to test using that first.
If the battery really really flat, you can try connecting the phone to charger for half a day. Happened to mine once, it did not even display charging.

Thanks for the advice. I tried getting a new battery and charging it without the battery for day. Unfortunately, still nothing.
Hi anyone else having problems with their usb -c port? It's started out as just the headphones dongle shorting out and not working but charging still worked. And now the charging port charges sometimes. I thought it or hoped it was software from updating...but knowing it wasnt, I still downgraded back to Oreo.. but same problems persist. Just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem or not.
I contacted RAZER for a replacement and they want me to take video evidence to show that the phone usb c port is malfunctioning. Lol.
Contact Razer for an RMA
Did you try to blow out the port Nintendo cartridge style?

Looked in there and tried cleaning it out with a thin small piece of plastic but it's brand new and nothing in there. I have a crackle noise coming from the speaker at times when the speaker is t even in use. I believe some wire is lose or connection is lose down there.
Both my RP1 and RP2 did this. Im sure its actually down to the cable. One of my USB C cables is completely useless on both phones but a brand new one works perfect with no isssues. Poor cable design by razer
I'm having the same problem
I also contact razer support and they asked for evidence.. For replacement
But i live in Iraq and they can't ship Iraq
So now I'm using wireless headphones all the time
Horrible Replacement Strategy
Yes!!!!! I thought mine was just the cable as other wires I thought worked. Turns out I was wrong. They replaced the wire first, which didn't fix it. I had to pay $500 or so for an "Advanced Replacement". I told them I needed another tempered glass screen protector because I bought theirs and you really can't transfer them between phones. They agreed. I requested the replacement equipment June 3rd. It is now July 12th. I've received the new phone but not the screen protector. It has said preparing for shipment for several weeks. It takes a warranty rep 2 days to reply to my email response every single time. I finally got a manager to call me and he gave me a $100 voucher so I could buy their wireless charger since they have it located in a stupid position. He is supposedly going to look into where my screen protector is at the warehouse. It has almost been 1.5 months and I haven't gotten taken care of yet. I will never buy another Razer product.
