I've tried resetting and also just yelling at it but no luck. Since it's no good to me by not working, I figure I'll put it up for sale. PM me with any interests. Thanks!

Little rubber/plastic cap on top of Car Antenna Connector on Hermes missing

Don't know how it happened, but just looked at the back of my Tytn, and it is missing that little plastic/rubber cap that goes over the Car Angenna Connector (that's what they call it in the manual). Can anyone suggest how I could get one ? I haven't seen any posts of this type of thing happening to anyone else..not sure why? I now realize that it must be a removeable cap. I am surprised that nobody else, seems to lose theirs. Anyways, any suggestions are appreciated. It certainly shouldn't cost a fortune for such a puny thing!..

List of goods

Usb big problem got a line on screens no problem

i have usb's but highly advse against buying them unless you have 600-800 micro soildering device.

I have fixed probably 50 of these things for a goof, and i think that if you line the pins up correctly u shouldn't need to solider them. So all you need to do is the 4 feet , or 4 little metal edges the 5 tiny ones in the back shuold hold a conection if you take your time. My hands shake to much and i don't soldier but other than that its an hour process to not damage the plastic or device.

It would cost $100 plus shipping to fix mda's and 8125's are bringing $80-$120 totaly destroyed on ebay. What i don't understand is why the rest of the guys that have online stores don't help u out unfortunately i have 70 people that expect a check every Friday or i would be more pro active. Any ways if your the type that is hands on down load the guide from the ftp site. But i will warn u taking apart the mda is not the same as the 8125 and 8525 has no businesses to be taken apart its under warranty. But don't worry rumor has it china is now in the us and a parts department is headed your way wholesale.

for the ones that are broken screens for sale.

email me and i will buy them all.

aboutthemind@gmail.com

if you have everything your still looking at under a $100 hand again this is just to make sense for me to step up.

I got a free usb to the one that knows he can get it up

less than 2 hours and no injury's!!

fixing and time matter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PaulMdx:
@aboutthemind, et al:

I get vertical lines on my screen occasionally that I can get rid of if I hold the case down and turn the phone on/off with the power button. I guess I have a dodgy connection as a result of taking it apart. <cough>

More recently when I have gone to the phone after leaving it overnight the screen has been completely blank. The green radio light is still blinking so I think the phone is alive, it's just the screen has completely lost connection.

I cannot afford a new phone, so I would really like to get it fixed. Can you offer advice on a fix, and possibly sell me any parts if I require them? I've been skeptical about the screen ribbon for a while, although it looks in perfect condition.

Many thanks.

if you cant aford a new one

Sounds like the flat cable is loose or bad but if you can correct it with pressure we have a way to go.

get the manual from the ftp sight or email me and i will give you a step by step tutorial.

The manual is good

if i can do it any one can my first time took me 3 hours now i can disassemble and reassemble in less than a half hour.

the screen connects in 2 places both require board removal.

here is you need to know

plastic knife or credit card

1 Torx T6 and 1 small philllip screwdrivers

a towel and a place to work sitting down and no carpet under nieth you

the device for your purpose consists of 7 pieces to take apart

battery cover easy

battery easier

plastic lid over camera ( consists of four connections 2 that you will get too)

silever back piece 5 grooves 2 on infared side and 3 on the other)

main board (leave the speakers conected to the board but take them out of thier slot, don't touch the antena, take of the yellow tape and disconect the keyboard with your finger nail under the black side where it conects watch the volume trigger.

when you get the board up open key board it will give you plenty of slack to see your first conection and possible issue)

Black middle piece( 4 screws )

I believe your problem is in the front screen take out the four screws and use your finger nail to separate the plastic.

Again the manual is a must and you can find it here

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/Wizard_Service_Manual.pdf

NOW off the record here is my insight

i have taken apart five mda's at the same time and swapped the boards out at random they all fired up with no problems.

Key board stopped working swapped it with another both devices work fine.

But that does not mean i am right.

I have no fear and do not use logic, how ever i take apart one of these a day and it is no big deal the mda is a rock so essentially if you bust a piece it can be replaced. Email after you look over the Manual and have a question. I will pop this account to my phone for you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PaulMdx:
Thanks for the advice, aboutthemind.

I have the manual and I have taken my device apart to try solve the issue. I tried cleaning and reseating the ribbon but I still have the same issue. 99% of the time it is fine, but I can sometimes have the issue 2-3 times over a few minutes. I think it may be worse with cold too.

I have a cingular 8125, but the only problem is that the touch screen doesn't work 100% meaning it only works time to time. The actual LCD is in excellent condition with everything visually in tact. Is it possible to get a replacement for the touch layer or would I have to replace the whole thing? I'm looking to put this on ebay and jump to the AT&T Tilt when it comes out. What would be a fair price? No special roms or anything like that, just lots of programs and a 1gig miniSD card.

Problems with LCD Brightness!

Hi folks,

I cracked my MDA T-Mobile phone's LCD about a month ago. I ordered a new one from ebay and after istalling it, seems like the brightness is messed up. It comes up very bright (almost white) and I can barely see the letters (that are a bit darker color). I cannot see any colors.

I need a mainboard for a Wizard.

Right now I have two mainboards. One works but the USB is off and it appears the person I got it from tried to solder it back on but did a sloppy job (solder all over the area and I am pretty sure some of the main board is burnt)

I bought a broke MDA this weeked for 25 bucks to use that Mainboard, and it works...sorta. There is something shorted out on it that makes the LCD screen to be really really dim and it gets really hot. So right now I can use that one to charge my second battery for the first phone, but that is becoming a pain.

I need a working mainboard with USB if anyone has one.

And if someone wants the mainboard that gets hot and has a dim screen, if I get a replacement you are free to have it. It doesn't get hot when no screen is attached.

OR if anyone knows a fix for the getting hot issue, that would be most helpful.
