After a 4 month ordeal with a warranty repair, I finally got my Jasjar back. Although, it had a loose screen swivel mount. When I tore it apart (using the pdf service manual on this site ... thank you), I realized the warranty center (TOPP Solutions) had left out THREE of the five screws that hold the swivel mounts on !!! I have been searching everywhere I can think of for these very small specialized screws and have been unsuccessful. Has anyone found a place to purchase these? By the way, I've already checked with PDASmart, PocketPCTechs, Digi-Key and i-mate tech support. I've also attached the relevant images from the service manual to help identify what I'm referring to. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
...try any hardware shop. They've got 1000s of different types...
I truly wish it was that easy
These are so small that even the electronic shops I’ve stopped at look at me and laugh. At 1.6mm they are about the size of the screws on eyeglasses and about 1/2 the size of the small torx screws that hold the back on. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
...try this one
Electronic Products - Enclosure Assembly, Mechanical / Electro-Mechanical, Mechanical, Hardware, 1, Fastener - Screw - Sheet Metal Screw, M1.6 x 2.8mm, Type B, Philips, ... - www.electronicproducts.com/whatsins...
a little more help please?
Thank you very much for the source, although, I haven't been able to find it on the site. I've registered in electronicproducts.com and spent about an hour searching the site, but I must be dense since I can't find it.
Could you be so kind as to post the complete link, since the other link got cut off (www.electronicproducts.com/whatsins...)
The site looks like it has access to tonnes of components. Thanks again.

:? Boy do I feel dumb.
I've been using a 3-1 stylus (from Proporta) on my M2K and today the plastic "tip" got stuck in the unit's slot! Peering down the slot using a desk-lamp I can see the tip and it's off-centre to the actual axis of the hole. It looks like the hole for the stylus is NOT a tube - but is instead merely an opening into the unit. (thinking about it - I'd noticed that the stylus tip was "awkward" to fit into the slot a couple of times - obviously it had been getting caught in the body-work).
Stupidly I've further compounded my troubles by attempting to fineagle (technical term.. ) the tip out by using a biro refill - and the tip of the biro refill got stuck in the stylus tip!!! AAARGH! :shock:
Looks like I'll need to dismantle the entire bloody unit to get this thing out - so... how do I do it, what do I need, and where can I obtain the tools??
DOH!!!!
Damm, your having one of those day's
Just as a side note.
Don’t buy or use 3 in 1 stylus, they will break the clamp in the device holding the stylus in place so the stylus gets so loose that it will slide out and in without any resistance
Check your warranty before taking your unit apart!
You'll need a T6x60 and maybe a T7x60 drive. Then search for a thread on this forum that will guide you through the dismantling process.
good luck!

somehow I doubt Orange will be terribly impressed with what's hapened!!!
Anyone know how much it would cost to have the unit dismantled by a repair workshop (and thus maintain the warranty)? And is there such a place in central London?
Why not try the finest tad (more technical phraseology) of super glue on the end of your 3 in 1, push in hole, wait 1 minute and pull out. It might just work and surely would have done without that biro bit. Got to be worth a try - but be frugal with the glue !
By the way, I've used a 3 in 1 form Proporta for 3 months now and the old stylus fits and is retained just the same as its always has done (just tried it).
Stylus.
Hmmm I dont remember where i bought mine, but this is the second time i need to get the 9090 to service.
There is no resistense at all, it just slide in and out by it self
They are going right to the trashbin now.
Do you have a link to where you got yours??
Bottom stylus is the original.
Much more soft in the area where the clamp goes in
Mine came from here;
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=933&t_mode=des
But having looked at your photograph, and had a good look at my stylii, the 'shoulder' is different on my original stylus and that from Proporta - just as your picky shows. Still haven't had a problem though - YET.
Don't like it that you have to take of the tip to use the pen as reset tool
The ones i got are working very good, but I just cant use them any more since they destroy the clamp.
Here's one more pic.
I don't. I just use the tip of the stylus for re-set.
If you pull out the stylus and look into the hole in the BA, does it look like white plastic clamps in your BA.
I can se 2 white plastic clamps in mine.
Yes - just the same !
Since we both have plastic clamps, my stylus clamp shoulders must be the reason for the defect in the BA.
Well then I can only say to anybody reading this thread, don't buy 3 in 1 stylus that look like the ones in the pictures :!: :!:
TIP: Use a software to reset the PPC. I use CLaunch on normal reset. During lockups, I have to use the stylus. But that's only 1out of 10 resets.

nomadman - sir, sorry this is out of the topic.... i just noticed your ROM version... where did you get the ROM update for our XDA IIs?
Thanks!
YAY! Fixed it last night.
1 T6 driver and 1 small flat bladed screwdriver were all the tools necessary.
Just removed the 2 silver screws, and 3 of the black ones (the "Void" sticker was untouched) and the rear cover was loose enough to allow the very flat blade of the screwdriver in just far enough to dislodge the "item" and it just dropped out.
reassembly was easy and the only shock I got was when I turned the unit back on the emergency battery was nearly dead!! I'd only had the main battery off the unit for 5 minutes!!!! Not terribly impressed by that I have to say.
Hey so I purchased a new housing for my Universal and it arrives from Hong Kong with no instructions... I have replaced a few housings in the past but this by far is the most dificult.
I was wondering if anyone had any photos or instructions from a housing change they had done. I am right now stuck trying to remove the piece on top of the keyboard which ends up being bound to the motherboard by touchscreen connectors from the lcd. Any help would be great as I am truly in a bind.
Also, if anyone has any instructions on changing a housing on the MDA or any other IMATE/HTC product I could use those as well. THANKS.
I've changed my housing and it's pretty straight forward if you are careful and have the right tools.. A copy of the service manual with step by step disassembly and assembly is on the ftp site at..
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/UNniversalL_Service_Manual_CONFIDENTIAL.pdf
The only problem I had was with the keyboard membrane in that it was slightly different to the old one. There are dimples that press against the membrane switched and these were in a different position on the space bar on the new membrane, so I found that the space bar didn't work and had to take the whole thing to pieces again. Also I found that the new housing didn't need three securing screws.
Anyway, It can be done just do it on a clear worktop with plenty of space.I printed out all the sheets and placed the disassembled part/screw on the relevant sheet, this stops screws getting mixed up!!
Going to give it a try right now. I appreciate it.
Hi Odyseus.Have you bought the keyboard too? I have found the housing but without keyboard(and mine's silver) in this shop in UK http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10679.htm
I think it's a good idea to print out the sheets
I think the housing should come with a new keyboard pad? (Not the keyboard switch assembly. but the membrane with the keypads on).
Benbenben let us know how it goes. :lol: Why are you changing cases BTW? Different color or damaged?
Hello all Universal Users, I am Loooking for a Mother board for My Qtek 9000, maybe some one can help me to find one?
Are tey all the same Qtek->I-mate->Dopod...
Many Thanks,
Jean-marc.
All boards are the same, (only different branding, and of course G3/G4 difference)
need parts too !!!
Hello, If you can find a dead uni (with MB ok) we can buy it together , i need a part (little board next to the screen) for my second uni.If you find one, pm me (sorry for english, i'm french).
Good luck for your searches ...
My Mother-in-Law got my Exec wet... arrrgh!!!
so I have a water damaged one (not wet enough to blow the warning stickers though). The damage is only to the screen the M-board is fine & in fact the phone is fully functional unlocked and not subject to an insurance claim (more fool me for not insuring it!). The phone is less than a year old, the case has the usual pocket wear and a couple of tiny dents on the top most centre panel and one of the two little rubber bits by the led’s is missing
The damage is the screen has gone smokey and darkened and does not turn of the light fully as a result the battery life is shortened.
I needed total reliability for business trips to the Far East so I have had to move to another phone for a bit.
I had the whole thing apart to see if I could track the damage and repair it and as far as I can see it is just confined to the ribbons attached to the screen and digitizer. I am happy to break it for spares if you are interested.
Any parts (no guarantee offered) make me an offer – I even have the original box & manuals.
Wouldn't trust the screen or main ribbon - these are now available on ebay.
Happy to advise on dismantling,
Cheers,
Newton

Hi Newton,
Do you still have this machine for parts?

Hi,
Not really sure where to post this, Tried in the universal forum but with no success. Please move if its in the wrong place!
Does anyone know where i can get some of the conductive fabric that is used inside most of the HTC phones. I'm trying to repair a universal but have misplaced the fabric. I made a makeshift version with electrical tape and spare bits that i butchered of another phone but it just isn't the same - Screen is pretty messed up! I'm guessing its used as some kind of screen or ground thats common to a few components.
Found a supplier in Hong Kong but they only sell it in massive sheets (50m2 or something) and i don't need nearly that much
I've attached a picture so you can all see what i'm talking about.
Any help is much appreciated.
c'mon, no one?
After I replaced battery (dead after 2 years) after 3 months the watch just fell apart, tearing in two one of the two thin flexible connector stripes that go from LCD to the main body. Where can I find a replacement part, or maybe someone has a dead Moto 360 for cheap so I can cannibalize it for the replacement? I thought of buying a new watch, but it's disappointing that the prices are high and there is almost no progress in functionality in 2.5 years. And cheap Chinese smartwatches are very bad. The only website that has "Watch LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly" that I wound has it "out of stock".
Thanks, any advice appreciated.
while I don't have the answer to your question I can tell you why your watch fell apart after the repairs.
There are 4 tiny plastic retaining clips that need to be properly removed during disassembly, and then reinstalled during reassembly. They are very easy to loose if you don't know they are there, and pretty much all guides (including iFixIt) make no mention of the clips. I found the info on them by accident so I've been trying to spread the word on this important step.
+1 on those clips. I thought they were bits broken off as I removed the innards for the battery repair. Ended up with the watch in the same state as midirt; torn cables. As a result, I do now have a G1 360 available for parts (including a new battery, but minus those clips ) and two chargers. (If there is a more proper place to offer these up please accept my apologies and let me know where, I'll get it there).
