This morning I wasn't really paying attention and shoved my sd card in the wrong way. it is now deep into my NC. If I take a torx screwdriver and take out the screws, will I be able to pull out the back and retrieve my sd card? I unfortunatly haven't backed up my sd card onto my computer and a lot of my apps and books were on the microSD.

You must have been persistent, since SD cards can only go in a certain way.
You should be able to push it out if you access the slot

Thats what she said!
Sorry couldn't resist
I've taken the back off. It's easy taking it off, but putting it back together can be a PITA. None of the teardown pics mentioned this. It took me a good half-hour to figure out why.
To correctly re-assemble, the trick is to remove the rubber cap covering the SD slot first, as its "legs" have to go UNDER the underlying metal surface, not on top. Once you got the back cover back on, then reinsert the cap.
BTW, aside from the 2 screws, the back cover is friction-fitted, held in place by plastic tabs around the edges. Once you've taken it apart, the friction fit will no longer be perfect, and the back will creak more than before.

Hi
I found this video of a Diamond assembly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ6XTjWD1i8
I not sure, but it look like a micro SD card ?
what does?
look at 25 seconds, I think it's a microSD Card !
it looks like that
hummm
does to me too
and it looks like it is located very next to MiniUSB port
It's the sim slot...
Hmm .. would be nice if it is a micoSD...
but i think it is the Microphone rubber ... or?

yeah really a tiny sim slot i am looking for technician do dissassembly my phone I want to change sim card
NisseDILLIGAF : such high resoultion foto shows that is probably that rubber ...but still I have doubt ... that rubber is placed vertically while looking on phone while that part the technician puts in is placed horizontally.
EDIT : but after looking really close I am almost convinced it`s that rubber what a pitty
Ok... here you can see both pictures ...
I think one of them has but it the wrong way
The only port or slot i see is the sim card one, and I imagine that the man knows what he is doing and would notice something like that in a phone sold with no memory card support.And yes...the rubber looks like it is in its correct possition
Is way too thick for MicroSD.
Would be great though! But I doubt the Diamond would support MicroSD bigger than 4GB if you would like to replace it, very little devices support those sizes yet
So, I wait for a pcb replacement part with 8 or 16 Gb !...
It's a Vibrator
I have seen this video... It's the phone Vibrator.. and not the Micro SD card. I think the memory will be a flash memory, which will be in the form of a Micro Chip..
I've just been thru the 109 page HTC Service manual and it isn't mentioned there......
.G.
I hope my grave mistake will be a lesson for those who decide to open the phone.
Long story short - ALWAYS, ALWAYS check the SD card slot before disassembling the phone. I forgot to do that and left the card in (I intended to replace the housing), and as a result, I have the slot cracked open. Now all my attempts to find a repair shop which can put it back together failed and the phone worths zero.
Now I am wondering whether anybody here can help me fix it. The problem is I cannot find any schematics of the SD card slot to put the spring and the other part back (I actually do not have any instruments except small screwdrivers and tweezers). If there is such a great guy who can do that, I will gladly pay him or her (I can mail the motherboard and parts together with a check that will cover mailing it back to me).
Here are the pictures of what happened and what was inside the slot:

and
Man, I feel for that damage =\
If I didn't lived in such a far place as Brazil, I would try to fix your phone.
My Wizard is disassembled, and right now, all I could see is that the spring goes on right side, as staring the motherboard on the first pic.
I'll take some macro shots here and try to help you.
Good luck and cheers

Thank you for your kind words, man! Yes, any hint will help - I have no idea how that little cog is attached (and if it's not bent).
deleted as doubled
Sorry for asking for help again!
Does anyone know where to get the schematics of push-pull SD card slot? I wanna try fixin it myself, its just that cog that bothers me.
Another possibility would be to buy a drive for lets say, netbooks, and either solder it to the MB, or carefully disassemble to see what's inside. The question is - where to buy such part?
Thanks in advance to everybody!
My friend (elderly) gave me her Xperia Z so I could get her sim setup. Because I have been getting over 2 nights up straight, watching my dog (he has neurological issues and I am nursing him currently) I was really tired and accidentally put a micro sim adapter in the sim slot the wrong way up. Its now well and truly stuck in there. It started out being stuck half way (the hole wasnt coliding with the pins though so hopefully they arent damaged? then i pushed it in completely in the hope of maybe hitting an ejecting mechanism, no such luck. Im taking it to a local repair shop. Im really worried (she knows and isnt worried lol) that one of the pins might have been snapped off? I have tried shaking it about and I cant hear any rattling at all (maybe theres not enough room for it to do so even if it was the case) so maybe thats a good start. I did apply a bit of gentle force to pull it out but I didnt feel anything break or hear any snaps.
If I did break a pin, how much do you think it will cost for an independent phone shop to repair it for me? I dont mind paying the fee because its through my negligence.
probably would be cheaper to buy one used or online

that was in response for if he damaged the sim slot and going to a shop.
he could probably get it out with an x acto knife, they're pretty thin

Managed to get the guy round at the shop to get the back off for me and I have done the rest. I have now cut off the end of the adapter and I can happily report that NONE of the pins are broken! Great news. Now i just need to figure out how to get it out because the rest is still stuck. If I cut the one side more than the other I might be able to rotate it out.

hi there, last week i damaged my simcard reader.
i bought xperia z5, which uses nano sim. xperia z uses microsim so i had to push out the nano sim out of the micro sim frame.
to avoid losing the micro sim frame, i put it back into my xperia z... NEVER DO THIS!!
when i pulled it out, i damaged the reader pins inside..
so i decided to fix this, as a new mainboard costs €100+ but the reader (which is welded on the board) costs €6,95 or something..
WARNING: IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO WELD/SOLDER ON A ELECTRICAL PRINTED BOARD AND/OR HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH IT, DONT TRY THIS.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVE READ ABOVE WARNING TEXT, AND DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE TO APPLY THIS FIX, IT IS YOUR CHOICE AND I WILL BE HELD IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS
so, what do u need?
-heatgun/hairdryer
-very small needle pliers
-very small screwdrivers
-some picking tools for taking apart the phone
-welding/soldering station with temperature range of 50-400 Celsius
-soldering iron
-good magnifier(on a stand or a third hand lol)
-steady hands and fingers
-new simcard reader (obviously) http://www.parts4repair.com/sim-card-reader-contact-for-sony-xperia-z-l36h/

-special adhesive tape for back cover of xperia z http://www.parts4repair.com/back-cover-adhesive-for-sony-xperia-z-l36h/
the soldering station need to have a very small tip (< 1mm), like this:
first take the phone apart (i will not go in detail on this, as there are plenty teardown/take-apart guides on the internet and since you are going to weld/solder this on the mainboard you should have enough skills to take a phone apart even without teardown/take-apart guides)
take off back cover using the heatgun, your phone should look like this:
unscrew the 3 tiny screws, disconnect all connectors and take out the battery:
desolder the broken simcard reader and clean the surface:
solder in the new reader(be careful to not touch any components on the mainboard!) and it will look like this:
put the device together, make sure all connectors are firmly clicked in, clean the surfaces around the edges, on both the device frame and the back cover, apply special tape:
before you put the back cover in its place, boot into system to test the newly installed sim reader.
thats it!
ps: dont forget to clean up the mess you made or you might get trouble with your wife/GF
lol
Hi,
My Z3C must've randomly lost part of the bottom bezel at some point - I still don't understand why and how.
Phone was always in a TPU bumper case so it can't fall off or out. Must've gotten loose and dropped at some point when I removed the bumper to remove the sim card.

The part that's missing is the edge part between bottom bezel and SIM card flap.
Phone was just sent in for repair for another issue(vibration more had a loose connection) and I got it back without issues..but that part of the bezel is still missing. Didn't mention it when it was repaired in fear of Sony denying a warranty repair.
Fixing it would be 5s job with super glue....so any idea where and how to get that part ?
Did lots of googling but couldn't find anything.
Only other option I could think of would be buying a broken/dead Z3C and ripping that bezel piece off.
youll probably have to get the whole frame
Seems like a waste. The small part that's missing ist just glued on.
Guess I'll have to look for a broken Z3C to get the spare part.
Are there Showroom models of the Z3C ? Like they have in shops sometimes, just the exterior without any electronics inside.
*Edit* Oh ok now I realize what you meant.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-Sony-Xp...Metal-Frame-Bezel-Plate-ZVHR277-/301593214487
Didn't expect the entire frame to be that cheap! Thanks m8.
I have a lot of it but if You live outside EU shipping can be more expensive than those fram on eBay.
I do live in the EU but allready ordered the ebay bezel.
Thanks though, might help out the next guy.
No problem. I have a lot of it cause whole frame is a trash after changing whole screen using original part. Anyway good advice for You - change only bumpers You need, not the whole frame. If You don't have knowledge hot to remove screen safety just skip it.
