[Q] 4 Screws for HTC Magic.

Hi, i need a set of 4 new screws.
They are the 4 screws in each corner of the phone under the back cover, 2 of them on either side of the bottom antenna.
I think the parts number is one of these but i dont know which one, or where to get them from.
72H03946-00M
72H02946-00M
72H01894-00M
Any help would be great.
Thanks
That's a hard one. Most likely search some Chinese 3rd party sites. Those screws are specify for the phone. Or buy a bricked or damage phone off eBay. Get the screw from it carefully.

What are you doing for the glue on the digitizer?
Sent from my R800x using XDA
If you need a replacement volume rocker try looking for broken Xplays on ebay. There could be a good chance that the volume rocker is good and just a broken screen, or something.

Thanks. I'm looking for a white housing for conversion.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
You linked up the same one I bought, Just dont replace the middle housing with the speakers and L1 R1 buttons, Use the same housing that came with your r800x , I found out the hard way... After re housing my phone Ive been without service on my device, theres a piece on the middle housing that is needed for the r800x to pick up on Verizons service. But you have the right item in your original post, sorry for long delay, I got pretty sick :/

I was able to remove the piece from one middle housing and put it on the other . I post some photos soon I wanna post a write on it all so other users can do this without all the hassle since I found out the hard way. But ill share you some pics here shortly, I got a few people I need to get some info out to also , I need to get caught up on my android work!

Check out the first photo where the back of the middle plate has a black sticker on it, that black sticker on the other side of it is a gold ribbon that goes into the housing and makes contact with two pins on the bottom end of the mother board.
The second photo is the replacement I ordered from the same link you posted in your OP. You could buy the one you linked and peel back the black sticker and super glue it back to the replacement middle housing, which is what I did because the back of the L1 and R1 are white on the new housing and the Verizon triggers are black on the back, looks better in white and in picture three I think I did a pretty decent job even though the photo does it no justice, and minus my thumb print!

Trade it with a black one.

Seriously, buy the OEM back Cover, Then buy a glass screen protector with the colored edges.
Read the reviews, some of the colored edge types act funny.
lol at the amazing creative suggestions here!

Any main skins site has black for our phones not hard to find.

Painting it would be a horrible idea. You can purchase the back cover in many different colors. I would start with that. Then see if they offer the housing in black. The outside edge would still be the chrome look. Do some research on that. Last they sell the glass with black outerlay if you want to call it that. Other than that, I wouldnt know.

You could buy a new housing, sand it and prime it, paint with krylon fusion and let it cure for 7 days. It's worth the try for the housing but for the screen you would have to buy a new one.

Purchase an OEM back cover that is titanium gray.
Go to http://www.skinit.com/customizer-v2
>>> customize a skin- color the front titanium gray also. It will stick on right over top of the face of the device and look good
If you're in Chicago and on T-Mobile, I'd totally trade you. I wanted the white one, but my T-Mobile store didn't have it at launch day.
if you are on Sprint near minneapolis I would swap

U could buy a black housing and battery cover from China for like $20 and an oem black bezel screen protector...our ur best bet is trade someone. I currently have a half titanium half white note 2

Replacing the one's battery plate?

Anyone know of its possible to replace the back plate of our phones? Or even replace the whole metal part to a diff color or just replace a beat up one? Tired searching but nothing comes up...

Look at iFixit teardown.
It's almost impossible to disassemble that phone without damaging it.

Unless you have a "Special Tool"

Hopefully that tool will be available to consumers

You can acctually get all the tools needed for a tear down. The only thing is they are not specific for the HTC one. For instance it uses an Iopener tool for the Iphone/Ipad to get in to the device. But I wouldn't advice trying it if you don't have some kind of repair expieriance as HTC's are notoriusly difficult to get back together
Check this teardown out which has the list of tools you need. And you should be able to get it replaced without the 'Special HTC Tool' that everyone is talking about
But then again I really wouldnt advice doing it. But thats just my opinion, and I have 2 years of level 3 repair work
