Yes that one!

From what I can tell from the teardown, looks like it holds the LCD/Mainboard in place. Could be wrong.

as far as I'm concerned, every LCD screws must be tightened as it also acts as a Grounded plane for it. tx

Htc Desire Thermal images :D

Was playing around with an IR-thermal camera at work while my Desire was on charging. So next logical thing happened: I took a few pictures and thought of sharing them with you
(i just noticed that Date on images is wrong. This is because camera was set up wrong)
First up, front view. Using CM7 with LauncherPro atm.

Display (AMOLED) off
Back view. Note that i use a silicon cover that covers entire back, minus a small rectangular area around the usb port. Apparently this cover shields much of IR.
And finally, my rather cold coffee because i was too busy taking pictures of my phone
wow, very interesting, there would be much more red spots on my desire lol

The red outline was added to show what part of the tablet I'am talking about
If anyone has an nexus 7 2013 you see the shiny full black plastic that wraps around the tablet I dropped it smashing a little bit of the plastic off no actual damage but still is annoying.

[Q] Need Help Identifying Part

I took my EVO 4G apart to replace the screen. While putting it back together on of the parts fell out and I'm afraid it may be forever lost is a bunch of clutter. I'd like to see if I can get a replacement part, but, I need to know what it is called. If I search on rubber I get all sorts of protective cases that include rubber.
The part is black rubber and looks like two joined rectangles. It is located just behind the USB port.
Here is a picture of the motherboard with the part I am looking for circled:

Does anyone know what this part is called, its part number, and where I might get one?
Thanks

Watchband keeps coming off

Three times now the watchband has come unclipped from the watch and the whole thing falls to the ground. What can I do to keep this from happening? I'm worried it will fall off and I won't notice it until the watch is long gone.
Take it to a jeweler my friend and see if they can fix it. You might have a bent pin.
try motorola, should fall under warranty unless not moto band.
I have the same problem. I had small accident and bracelet came off and as you see on picture fixing hole for pin is no hole anymore and after slide pin inside it keep coming out if pull bracelet is there any solution ? maybe fill by glue ??
see picture attached.
