Does anyone have a dead gear yet? Hoping to see the internals or an expanded/exploded view/pics. I keep getting tempted to start unscrewing things but cringe at the thought of not being able to reassemble it correctly.
I'd be interested in seeing a teardown too

I'm wondering if anyone has managed to take apart their kaiser -- beyond just unscrewing the back cover. The "Void" sticker by the way is very easy to take off and put aside for easy replacement later. However, I can't get beyond the specially shielded antenna area. Anyone taken it apart and want to share their instructions?
Hi
You don't need to, it's already been done on the FCC website:

But I like to take mine apart to put the screen protector on so I don't have any non-protected space. The FCC doesn't guide me through taking it apart. I was hoping someone around here had managed to do it, but I guess the phone isn't popular enough yet.
LOL, applying screen protector cant be that big a task, can it? Be careful of turning the "screen protector" into the "other parts un-protector"
*Shrug* I did it with the Hermes every time. It was nice frankly -- and yes, certainly a bit OCD-style unnecessary. But it looked nice, hard to tell there's a protector on it at all. And as long as one is careful, it doesn't hurt anything -- my Hermes is still kicking after a year of doing that. So again, I'm guessing no one has been able to take it apart yet... it'll happen soon enough.
I dig the fact that you went through so much trouble to protect your Hermes BUT at this point no one has had the balls to take apart there $1,000 Kaiser just yet. I'm sure pretty soon there will be some pictures detailing the steps
It is VERY easy to take a tilt apart
My Screen got cracked so I ordered a new one for $47. The website also has the instructions for taking the tilt apart to replace the screen. You can get the instructions here:

I replaced my screen in about 30 minutes.
why do people keep posting threads like this, are the others not good enough?
Ok, I am considering ordering a new housing for my X1.
Ive searched and searched the forums for this and found (surprisingly) that no one has brought this up yet
I watched the SE document detailing the disassembly and reassembly of the X1. I decided to try it myself to see if I was capable of doing it before ordering the new housing. I got all the way to the part where you start peeling **** off and got scared and had to put everything back together (and did it successfully I might add)
So I was wondering, in the tech spec it says to discard these things. Obviously this is not an option since I dont have another one to reattach later.
How hard is it to carefully peel off these things and reattach them later the way they were?
Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement of these things?
Has anyone done this successfully that can give any insight or tips as to how to go about this?
I have found some conductive fabric for sale but the one used in the tech video seems to be specially tailored for the X1.
Please help, any help or comments would be appreciated!

you just put them back on.. it's not that tricky.
I've never had a problem with any phone I've ever worked on.. just take 30 seconds to make sure its all lined up correctly.

Ok thanks for the input. Now I feel a little better about it. So you HAVE done this for the X1?? or just other phones?
Screwing and unscrewing I am perfectly fine with, but when I have to start peeling **** i get uncomfortable.

I've done repairs on touch pro's and touch diamonds, I can't imagine they are too different from an X1.
just make sure you don't place them sticky side down on anything and use tweezers so none of the oils on your fingers get on the sticky side.
So as the title states, my nook literally ate my micro Sd card. (It said om nom nom while it happened too)
I was sliding it in as always and it disappeared up and over the slot all the way into the back cover somewhere.
I wasn't forcing it or applying any more pressure than you normally would getting it to "click" into place.
I can hear it rattling around in there, so I'm sure its in there.
I went to the store and they said they'd never heard of any sort of problem like this. The guy even called BN tech support and they had no idea.
Anyways... I searched around and couldn't find any way of taking the back cover off. If anyone could point me in the right direction to doing this I would appreciate it.
Look for the nook color teardown...first there are two torx screws under the SD card cover...I think the back just prys of after. Double check on the teardown page first.

I can't post links yet, but zdnet.com has a nook color teardown with pictures and descriptions. Easy to search for.
maybe if u would charge it, the poor nook wouldnt have to eat other parts of its self!!!!

Thanks, found it. Had never heard of zdnet before.
I'll give it a try tomorrow - I want my class10 card back
It was a pretty funny how the Nook salesman responded when I brought it into the store.
He was like WTF i can hear it rattling around inside it!
Same thing happened to me, removed the back cover and retrieved it. The two philips head screws under the flap are covered with little decals. Remove the screws, and gently pry the rear cover off to get your sd back. This is what solved the decision whether to root or not since I probably voided the warrantee. Didn't like the idea of frequently changing the SD.

It's TORX, not Phillips!

Just a quick warning before you strip out those screw heads, those are TORX size T5 screws, not Phillips.
Mine were philips head, most of the chassis screws were torx.

Sorry about that, they are torx screws
Perfect time to find this post. Seems I lost two cards in there. Woke up today thinking "I could have sworn I put the card back in there last night!" Luckily I had a backup card from another phone I had. So I popped that in and ran off to work. Came home and went to flash it and hmmm, no card. Time to grab a torx!
What are you doing that the card slips in the wrong area? I have not come close to doing that. I don't think. If you could reconstruct the "crime" it may be a valuable lesson for us all!
Cheers,
kev
glad i stumbled across this, so when i do the same i don't tear the house apart looking for my sd.
I ran into the same thing last night, sorta. I went to eject my movie-filled SD card to change the content and it wouldn't push-eject. I'd been using it with no problem, except when I went to remove it. Seems like whatever mechanism keeps the card in place must have gone away? Luckily it hadn't gone in all the way and I was able to pry it out with my fingernail.
Did a B&N tech chat this morning and they are sending me a replacement. Tech at first told me that warranty was expired (got my NC for Christmas!?) but when I reminded him that there is supposed to be a 1-year hardware warranty, he processed the replacement.
I think that there is a lesson in this. We are pushing the Nook to it's limits -- a good thing. In the process of doing so we're probably also pushing the secure digital port past its design limits -- which weren't terribly encouraging to start with. I suspect that whoever designed the thing figured that a SD card would get shoved in there maybe once -- or even not at all.
Probably ought to be a sticky somewhere that cautions about carefully and delicately inserting and extracting the thing. I also read of someone else whose card would no longer lock in place -- just kept popping out.
I know, I did something really stupid. I put an MicroSD card in the slot where the Sim Card is supposed to go and now it's stuck. I can't see it.. so I have no idea what to do.
Please help, I have no idea how to get it out.
Can you see it at all? I believe the sd card bay has enough clearence so that a microsd could get lodged inside the body of the device itself. There's nothing besides the tray itself to stop something like that. (which is kinda crazy if something exactly like this happens)
Nope I cannot see it at all :\
I'm not concerned about the sD card itself, I'm just worried that it'll mess up the functionality of the tablet.
The only real risk is that the pins on it might short something out, or a very remote chance it might cause one of the connectors to detach.
You could try and keep shaking it until it falls out or carefully dissassemble it and get your card. I'd personally try the former, the open part of the tray is the one nearest the display, so hold it display faceing down and bay facing down and hope for the best.
I have tried shaking it out for the past couple of minutes with no results.
There is no rattling sound however, so is that a good thing?
There are no visible screws of any sort for me to take it apart, so if you know of a a way that I can do so, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would share it with me.
If it's not rattleing then it might be jammed up against something, as far as damaging the internals that's a good thing. As long as you dont let it rattle around inside it, it shouldnt be a huge issue.
I made a guide on dissassembling it, it's around here somewhere. But tl;dr the first step is held together by glue and it's a huge hassle to dissassemble and reassemble unless you dont care about casuing cosmetic damage.

If it's held together by glue, I doubt I will have the patience to reassemble it xD
Are there any other options that you know of that I can try?
But nonetheless, thank you for helping
Mail it to me, I could use a 2nd S7

Haha, definitely not an option xD
I've tried everything I could and the thing still won't come out. Might just have to try a mini vacuum cleaner..

How exactly did you manage to get it out? I've bent a paper clip out so that it was long enough for me to stick it in there and I tried to press it down and slide it out with no results - I don't even know if I was actually touching the card or not :\
If you could provide some details on how you were able to get it to pop out, that'd be great.
Thanks
The phone works okish, aside from data drops, but figured that's normal since it happens on every ROM, but that's not what I'm asking about.
A few months ago I dropped the phone and no apparent damage was done, but recently I've started hearing what sounds like loose screws around the camera, again it doesn't look like it's messed the camera up or anything. But I have the insurance on it and was wondering if that would be enough to see about getting a replacement. I'm kinda tired of hearing little screws moving around now.
I know I probably should of done it way back when it first started, but it did stop doing it until recently, so I never called them thinking it'd be fine.
