Button clear covering peeling off....?

I noticed a problem with my Diamond today - the clear plastic covering the main button has started to peel at one edge (see pic). I've written to HTC to see if they'll repair it under warranty. Anyone else had this?

Crikey - fast reply from HTC:
"Good Afternoon, Essentially, we do cover your device under your warranty for paint peeling. If you call us on our technical support line, one of my collegues would be happy to book your device in for a repair and evaluation. Please can you call: 08458900079 Kind Regards, HTC Europe"
Full marks so far!

It was all going so well.... until...
I called the number and explained the issue to the lady on the phone. She told me categorically that this 'plastic refurbishment' is not covered under the warranty - I presume she knew what I was talking about although I could hardly understand a word she said. I explained that the email suggested it was covered. So, she asked me to go back to the email response and tell them what she said.
How annoying - firstly that you get two responses from one company and secondly that they reply on you to communicate between them. One is not impressed!
I have emailed HTC back with the news...
R

Hmm I have the exact same issue with my diamond. Almost 9 months old and I too have the problem off the plastiv letting go just above the home button. Well 1 month to go and I can get me a touch diamond 2 if it is released one month that is.

Now I get this:
Now essentially the HTC Touch Diamond has no known issues with paint peeling. As i did specify in my last e-mail, we can evaluate the device however if our repair center deem this to be caused by general wear and tear this would not be covered under your device warranty. I must also advise that if a quotation is raised due to an out of warranty repair there is a £20 charge to release the telephone back to you. With all that information in mind, would you still want to get this device evaluated?
So, I can pay £20 and be without my phone for 2 weeks in the hope that it *might* be covered. A bit annoyed at this - it is wear to the item but I count this wear to be within reasonable use and that the keys should be fit for purpose.....
R

My reply:
Hi, I think this is quite unfair. Essentially you are saying that I can send my phone in and hope you will see fit to cover it - but this is a risk, and if you presume it to be acceptable wear I will have to pay £20 have my phone released.
I know of others on internet forums who are also having this problem so I am not alone.
In my view, although this is 'wear' to the item it is within reasonable fair usage for the product. In other words the covering to the button is not fit for purpose in this case.
I am not prepared to risk £20 and be without my phone for 2 weeks whilst you decide if this is coverable or not - I have sent you a picture of the problem which clearly demonstrates the fault. The fault is obviously a lifting of the button covering that has occured during normal and acceptable use.
Please talk to your repair team and let me know if I will be covered or not.

Tell them that on other countries (in poland, im sure of) your issue is a 100% covered by warranty. As Poland HTC Support is in GB, and i assume its the same office they answer europe calls.
I know more than 5 people that had given their Diamonds for fix this issue without any cost.

I had the same problem.. I just peeled it off and ordered a screen protector+the bottom part for the keypad and just replaced it.. I didnt want to go through all the trouble. It worked out for me.

hey i remember you gave me the eBay sellers name, for the same one you purchased, but i couldnt find the item that has both screen protector, AND the button protector =/ you lucked out man!
I dont know if i wanna buy it from the seller located in Hong Kong! I just want the one that feels exactly the same as the one that comes with the Diamond

Had exactly the same problem back in January, I just peeled it off. Now the button area is getting quite scratched up and I'd love to get a replacement. I've not found anything on Expansys or elsewhere that's similar.
Cheers

OK - maybe I have the wrong idea about this. I thought the top layer was an intricate part of the button itself. The above posts seem to suggest it is merely a protective cover that can be easily removed and (if you can find the part) replaced? Is this correct?
R

Yes you can just peal it of, it does take some pealing so take care.

So, once you have peeled it off - what is underneath? Clear plastic? Sticky stuff? Can you rub the button decals off if you do not re-cover it?

Hey.. Yeah I remember giving you the link.. The seller had stock at the time you should have acted fast.. I cant find any seller who sells both pieces except in hong kong:S
Keep trying you might find something soon.
Answer to other questions: Yes you can peel it off. There will be some minor glue residues which you can take off and the decals will not be scratched off. I would replace it immediately though. Remember this is not the perfect solution but it is a fast and easier solution than dealing with HTC.. My opinion anyway. Good luck.

I have the same problem and in the same spot, im here in Australia and when i got fone only Telstra sold them.
I can not get it covered under warrenty.
it sucks.

Exact same problem here at the same corner too.
My initial solution has been to carefully slice off the lifted flap with a sharp knife to stop it ctaching my pocket and coming off further. Be careful of you do this though as you could damage other areas with the knife. I used a thin sharp blade held flat on the face of the phone and gently sliced through the flap from the outer edge.

Same problem here, left corner peeled off, so I peeled the whole cover off, and since I recognised that it gets scratches easily I covered it with a transparent sticker. But I already ordered new navi buttons, just don't know how to replace it...I'll see...

thanks for a useful thread. i had the same problem and just peeled it off. i'll start looking for new protection and post if i find anything

[Q] Nook Color Coming Apart

I just have a quick question to see if anyone else has encountered this issue and if so whether or not B&N fixed it. My NC has just recently had the back coming off right in the corner by volume buttons. It hasn't been dropped nor have I tried to open it. Also it creaks on the middle of the front bezel on the right side. Any ideas if B&N would take care of it under the 12 year manufacturers warranty?

Not sure on what B&N will do. From what I've read, it really boils down to the rep you get on the phone and their 'ability' to help you. If you get someone that simply follows a script... good luck.
As to the quality of the build, my model wasn't very solid from the start. As soon as I held it to read on it for the first time, I felt the back plate clicking and somewhat loose. Not very impressed but as of now, there's been no separation issues.

I had the exact same problem. There was creaking to the left of the "n" button. It almost seems like some of their hardware doesn't fit properly inside the case. Long story short, they exchanged it. Call 'em up. If they tell you to take it into a store don't accept that. I tried, and the guy at the store told me to call. I eventually got a new one.

Or get the name and agent number of the person on the phone who told you to go to the store and when the store says no you can say "Well, so-and-so from 1-800-THE BOOK whose agent ID is blah-blah said to bring it to the store. So first, exchange my Nook and second contact whoever runs your help line and deal with this type of problem with them."
Also, get the managers name as well. People generally don't give you the run around if you get their names...

They definitely do read from a script. The rep had to go check with a supervisor to see if it is covered. Waiting on a reply. I definitely am no accepting no as an answer.

I will have to exactly this. I was getting the run around from the rep on the phone, and she was definitely reading from a script. She was trying to make it seem as if I had someway caused the backing to come off and so it isnt covered. I told her straight up that the problem is that the glue isnt holding it in place and that the problem is at the juncture of the backing and the volume keys, and that since it is the glue that is the problem it should be covered by the manufacturers warranty. SO after 20 minutes of arguing, I am off to my local store to talk to them with the name and ID number of the phone rep. I am getting this fixed one way or another.

I've noticed the same issue since new, but nothing major. I keep my nook in a leather case so i'm only really touching the screen when using it.

(In general, not to OP since don't think he's under 14-day policy anymore)
If you just got your nook, you might want to consider exchanging --- in the week I had my first one, I noticed creakiness and slight flexing all around the right side from when I first opened it, and it only got worse -- started getting little clicks/pops when I shifted my grip on that side and I noticed the white backlight came through a small part of that side, so it looks like it was probably going to end up unhinged. I'm pretty gentle with my electronics and I had it in an Industriell case since day 1, and it still got worse.
The 2nd one I just got is significantly better built, no creaking at all and the bevel is firm and solid (no flex) everywhere. I know it's only $250 but better to avoid future repair hassles and get a good one now.

I was definitely over the 14 day policy as The nook was a Christmas gift from the wife. I ended up going to the store and had them inspect it to make sure that it was definitely a manufacturer issue. The local rep then proceeded to call and try to get it done for me. Now mind you, the stores have an entirely different number to call about Nook Color returns/exchanges. They don't actually deal with the same tech support we do. They were then giving her the run around even with her manager right next to her telling them it is a warranty issue, that it definitely looks like an adhesion issue, no water damage, no drop damage etc. Finally the rep gave up and just did an exchange anyways and said to screw the corporate that once it got sent back it would never be looked at anyways. And this is why i love my local B&N store.

Awesome! Congrats on getting it exchanged The new one, have you noticed if the bevel is darker than your old one? Mine is very noticeably darker, I compare it to the grey of the B&N Industriell case and my old Nook used to be lighter than the case, this new one is several shades darker (almost black). Wonder if they switched materials/updated design somewhere down the line?

Interesting reading, I got my NC back in March, haven't noticed any of these problems. Maybe it was just a bad batch or something. Good luck with getting your NC's exchanged.

Had the same issue, disassembled the nook according to these instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858697
(Note the switch and battery connectors disconnect by pulling them perpendicularly from the board)
Then used Loctite silicone gasket sealant along the edges where the two shell halves meet, between the entire edge of the back cover where it mates, as well as between the screen frame and metal frame. You'll need something to pry with and T5 screw driver. Took 30 minutes
Now feels as sturdy as an iPad, no squeaks or creaks, and in theory I should still be able to pull it apart again if needed.
Hope this helps someone.

The back cover on mine is loose in the same area...but its just fractions of an 1/8".
I don't know if the heat(what heat?) expanded the metal there, but it wasn't 'loose' when I first bought it.
I'm not too concerned, I bought a cheap silicon glove for it and it has not been that noticeable.

It does look a bit darker. I have also noticed that it looks like the bezel is recessed more than on my previous one. This one just feels a lot sturdier than my first one.

Sounds really interesting.
Did you also remove the bezel ?
Thanks

I have had my nook color sine april of this year. Its been rock solid with none of the issues described in this thread. Just thought I would add in my own observations.

[Q] TouchPad Digitizer Issues?

Just "scored" a 32 gb HP TP off CL for $100..only thing is he informed me that the touch screen was a little glitchy at times. So, I just decided to take it apart and fix it myself since it was already halfway opened Actually the digitizer wasnt even glued sufficient because while prying the case open, the digitizer came unstuck. So I didnt have to remove anything from the bezel just unclip the connectors and analyze the problem. I haven't gotten the replacement digitizer yet. Just wondering if this replacement or any of the other numerous listings on ebay would be ok before i bought it.
Also, he said he replaced the digitizer before..could the problem not be with the digitizer? When I opened everything up and reattached the connectors, it seemed like it functioned better than before but it was still a dead zone. Holding the TP upright, the row containing the numerical buttons dont function, as well as certain portions to the top of the device.

You need a new digitizer control board, not digitizer glass. And as far as I know they are not sold.

nooooooooooooooooooooo...i already ordered it. fml

I bought digitizer and changed it for repair. But... Nothing happened on my TP I think it need digitizer control board. so I search on Google
Sent from my XT862 using XDA

we need this item
Sent from my XT862 using XDA

ugh...i wonder what goes wrong with the boards. It seems like its really nothing on them that could mess up unless a solder joint is bad or bent,etc. But the "good" news is it looks like he didnt try to replace the digitizer at all or if he did he put in an OEM replacement but i think thats highly doubtable. The digitizer has the same OEM stickers as the ones on the motherboards and every where else. So im holding out hope that the new replacement may correct the problem but..idk..
Side note:
Ok..im not understanding why the douche chose to try and repair it himself when it's still actually within the year warranty. He got it in DEC 2011...warranty is good til' October 2012 it says. I talked to HP and they said it was under warranty and sent me a box to ship it back. I was going to ship it back, but upon further inspection you can see where the azz pryed open the case. I didn't want to prolong the process of getting it fixed by having them just tell me that i voided the warranty,and sending it back to me...so i opted to do it myself. Any one have any testimonials with sending back opened Touchpads? Do they inspect them "good" before repairing?
If all else fails i guess ill just take the chance and send it back to HP.

update:
Just Received the digitizer from the ebay store posted in my first post. Works like a charm...guessing it was just the digitizer after all. Im now the proud owner of a 32gb HP Touchpad for $124.89 Case Closed!

Replacement Touchscreen TF701T

My TF701T fell off my bed over the weekend and the screen cracked (even while in the PERFECTO case ). ASUS customer service wants to charge $200 for me to ship it to them and replace the screen. I'm trying to find somewhere online that sells the touchscreen replacement to do it myself, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know a good source to find a replacement screen for the 701T?

Yikes, that's ridiculously expensive... I dropped mine last night and the screen cracked. The display is still alive, but it registers touches like crazy. Luckily I can still use it with my mouse to some degree...
Has anyone had luck with ordering parts directly from ASUS? There's no way i'd pay them that much for that job, and the going rate on ebay for replacement TFx00 screens (albeit every one BUT the 701, WTF!) is in the $20-$40 range. I've already got the tablet apart, and am working on separating the glass from the bezel with a hair dryer. Very easy disassembly.

I wanted to close the loop on this one since I initially asked the question. I ended up going with the tech support at ASUS, going through the RMA process, shipping my tablet to them, and having them replace the screen. In the end it was cheaper than the website above (they charged me $170), but it appears lke they sent me a new one in the end...because the invoice I got in the mail today said new, and it looks like it really is new (i.e., needing the firmware update again, not having a single thing that I had went it was sent, new registration number, etc).
So although it took them nearly a month, in the end I have my tablet back and it's smoother than ever.

I had one tf701t with a cracked digitizer and another where the LCD just failed (but the digitizer was fine). Since I was unlocked, I figured I wasn't going to get much help from Asus. I figured I'd swap the digitizer from one onto the other. I've done this on other tablets but I was unsuccessful on the tf701t. Getting the screen out was pretty easy. The hardware is close to a tf700, but one important difference is in terms of how the digitizer and LCD are attached to each other. On the tf700, there are screws to hold on the LCD. These don't exist on the tf701t and there are plastic tabs instead that don't lift up. It doesn't look like there was any intent to allow the digitizer and LCD to be separated again (unlike other tablets). I was unable to do so without damaging the LCD. I thought I did it, but when I turned it back on, the pressure required to slightly bend the LCD to separate it from the digitizer damaged it just a bit.
If anyone is able to make this repair successfully, I'd love to hear about it. Replacing the combined LCD and digitizer as a single combined unit, would actually be pretty easy given the assembly method (easier than previous Asus tablets). I think that is the planned repair process.

I successfully separated the LCD from the back of my broken digitizer without damaging it, and used the tablet for quite a while with the broken digitizer disconnected. A few weeks ago, digitizers started popping up on ebay from china, so I ordered one when they dropped from $150 down to $100. I saved all the sticky back foam for the LCD, and replaced all the sticky back tape for the bezel-glass attachment. The ribbon cable was mounted a bit closer to the edge on the new digitizer, so it wasn't clearing the bezel properly when folded over. So I had to bevel my bezel a bit, lol, and thus made room for it. So with great satisfaction of not breaking anything, I button the tablet back up and boot it...
WTF??? X Axis is inverted. I touch the left, it registers on the right. I draw a circle, it mirrors that circle. Damnit. I've heard of this being a problem with the TF201's, but this model too??? So now, I'm contacting the seller to see about an exchange or refund.

Parts Tablet the way to go?

Personally, I would do like I just did with my motherboard replacement on my laptop.
**Just buy a broken for parts/AS/IS 701 and just take what you need off it. Then you have a parts tablet. I saw a few go for less than 100$ a few weeks ago when I was looking for parts. I just ended up sending it to ASUS though. I'd rather have warranty work if it's still under warranty, than void my warranty prematurely.
That being said,by the end of the year, I'll probably invest in a parts tablet, just in case. I live a rough lifestyle, but I try to take the best care of my electronics. That being said, accidents happen.

Hello,
My lcd+digitizer screen have broken down and I need to replace them. Please, any help? On ebay, all I could find were screen digitizers.
Best regards!!

TF700 Screen Woes
Just some related info that may be useful to some of you:
My Asus TF700 tablet slipped from my grip whilst crossing the parking lot from my car to the local Starbucks. To be fair, I've dropped it a handful of times before with no serious damage (including the very first day I had it... the tablet wasn't securely locked into the docking keyboard and I wasn't yet familiar with how to make sure!) But this time it hit the asphalt hard, striking the pavement directly on the corner of the folded keyboard/tablet case. The screen still displays, but the gorilla glass has cracks all over the place!
I took it to a local computer repair shop and they quoted me a screen replacement price of $150 to $250, depending on which screen was required. Apparently they were finding multiple part numbers for the TF700 screen, with overlap between the TF701 and the TF201. They mentioned that some screens are held in place with screws and so can be removed from the back panel, while others require actually going in through the glass itself to separate the glass and screen from the back plate. After reading some of the info here on XDA-developers.com it sounds as though the TF701 has the "fused" screen and the TF700 has the screw-attached version. In any case, I deferred on repairing it for now. I may instead try to sell the docking keyboard with supplemental battery to recoup what I can.

I have the same story, and found some hope on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55290214&postcount=146
maybe when more people have the same problem (same problem with the tf201 is solved), the solution is on the way?

[Q] How is the quality of the available replacement screen assemblies?

Hi, everyone.
So, I've dropped my phone in a parking lot and cracked the screen, and I'm trying to decide whether to accept the risk with attempting to replace it myself. A major concern I have is the thought of painstakingly carrying out a successful repair, only to find that the replacement screen is some cheap ripoff. I see a lot of people have discussed the difficulty of carrying out the repair, but I can't find any mention of the quality of the replacement screen they were able to obtain. As far as I've been able to figure out, no original HTC screens are to be found.
So if I shell out the USD 50-70 required to buy a replacement screen, can I expect it to look and feel precisely like the original?

$50-70 is the marketing price for a new screen replacement at present. Have you repaired the your HTC one yet, is it difficult?

I decided to go ahead and buy a screen from Fixez, because they've made an excellent instructional video on how to carry out the replacement, without which I probably wouldn't have bothered trying this myself. However, they sent me the wrong part initially, and I have yet to receive my second order with the correct part.
I'll be sure to give you an update when I do make my attempt.

Wait for your updates, good luck. :good:

I just finished my repair with the very good fixez instructions. Make sure you follow it closely as I glossed over one part. The ribbon connectors are released by tabs. Three of them are released by the black tabs. One is released by a white tab. I assumed all four of them were the same. When I tried to lift up the "black tab" on the 4th one, it tore off the connector. It's the video connector. There is a guy on ebay who specializes in soldering phone connector parts on ebay and I gave him $40 to solder on a new connector. Unfortunately it didn't work. I ended up needing to buy a new motherboard.
Also after I got the motherboard, and put it in, I had issues with the sim card. First of all, the replacement LCD/frame I got had a defective sim card slot. The button to eject the tray is broken.
I bought mine from here since it claimed to be a genuine product. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350863317919?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I don't know how true it is since the cables don't have the htc logo on it like it does with the factory one.
Anyways, regarding the sim card, it might've had to do with this one small gray connector(2cm long) that connects the top board to the motherboard. I had it oriented the wrong way which made the connector touch the screw, which might've shunted the contact. After I oriented it away from the screw, it's been working fine.
So essentially I ran into a lot of small issues that gave me a lot of headaches. If I were to do it over again, I not sure if I would've. But then again, I probably would've saved myself a lot of trouble if I were more meticulous, short of the sim card eject issue.

Do your phone function well after repair? Any lessons that you have known that how to tell high quality screen to the poor? I also got caught in the same situation. But i don't want to buy the part in ebay. Do you have any suggestions? i would appreciate it!

I just carried out my repair today, and I must say I'm very pleased with the result! I have several friends who also have this phone, and I've been able to compare the screen to theirs. The look and feel of the hardware itself is indistinguishable from the original. The HTC logo, the perforated bezel, the smoothness of the digitizer -- everything is precisely the same as far as I can tell. The image it displays is also indistinguishable from the original, in all its brilliance. By every metric I've been able to come up with, there's no difference.
As for the repair, I had no trouble carrying it out. I did notice the flip-up connector trap mentioned by astroidea, but my level of inconfidence with the task was such that I followed the instructions very, very closely. The instructions themselves were excellent. Nothing was skipped and everything looked exactly as in my phone (with the exception of the brown and blue coax cables, which weren't crossed on my phone). I've incurred some very minor aesthetic damage where I pried against the back cover, but the internals all seem to be functioning as they should. All in all, the repair took about three hours following the instruction videos from Fixez.
Despite the long wait, I got a good impression of Fixez. They replied to all my e-mails in a timely manner, and were willing to cover the expensive international return shipping for the item they sent me in error (which is only reasonable, but still). I'll still buy my next screen from them if, heavens forbid, I need one again.
