Thanks to both of you already. Jimmy thanks for posting those directions, they look a little more intense than I thought but I don't think I'll have a problem replacing it myself. the $70 is way cheaper than the $170 from pocketpctechs.com

How would I make sure everything else is working fine on my phone? It's still syncing fine with my laptop and sends/receives calls, so I imagine its still fine. Is there a SIM access point through WMDC? Just to check that?

Also, anyone know any other ways to possibly get around this warranty here? The screen broke this morning, and I'm still not entirely sure how it happened. I had left my wall charger back home and only had my usb plug to charge my phone from. I woke up to the screen cracked and my phone being really really hot. The phone was at the foot of my bed, so I am not ruling anything out like me accidentally pushing in the screen, but has there ever been issues with the Kaiser's over heating and popping their LCD screen?

I used to work for Simply Wireless, and Mobile Solutions.. both a crooks.. dont buy from them, and definietly dont buy their insurance...

even though they are trying to clean their act up, their are 100% sales driven and dont give a f*ck bout their customer... trust me like i said, i worked for them...

if ur in the DC metro area, check out Wireless Jungle, they are located in Burke, Manassas, Herndon, and other parts of NoVA, they are excellent imo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] higherbeing:
honestly i doubt heat caused it... looking at my phone, i have enough room to stick my fingernail under the casing sourrounding the screen, so there is alittle room to move in case heat does expand the internals. My phone has gotten pretty damn hot before, to the point where i couldnt hold it (forgot it in the car with wifi bt and gps on... in 105F temp) and it was still fine....

I dont condone this... but when i broke my screen, i was extreemly careful in replacing it, and made sure not to add any additional scratches... once i was done, the phone looked like it did on day 1... so when i sent it back to AT&T there was no way they could tell it had been cracked open...

if ur phone still rings, and u can answer the calls, u should be ok...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kendallreeves:
I actually had the insurance prior to switching over to the tilt in October. In December my screen cracked and I called them and they said that since I was a long standing customer, they would replace it. they sent me a refurbished phone in 2 days.

I broke the scren again in February and this time I did not call immediately. about a month later I went past the store and told him the situation and he said to call again. I did and they sent me another one. they canceled my policy because I had two claims in one year. but they told me that I could pick it up again in a year.

Moral: always ask...you never know!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] l3urton32:
Awesome, more good info from everyone. I'm from the Rochester, NY area. Any idea if theres some sort of place that will insure any branded phones in my area? Google is failing me here. Also, do these places have to check your phone before they insure it? If theres some way I can get around that and put insurance on my phone I would just wait like a week and send it in...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] higherbeing:
yea if they "forget" to remove the insurance plan... or if u ask a stupid rep to add it, and they do... ur golden, and they will replace ur phone... I'm still grandfathered in with my insruance :D

btw kendall sent u a pm
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] l3urton32:
so maybe AT&T is getting a little smarter. I called and got 4 different customer service reps and all of them told me it was ineligible...no luck with the bull**** approach. HTC USA said no go on everything too... I am getting a little fed up here. I have had this phone for only 3 weeks and everywhere I go everybody pretty much just dismisses me. My favorite dialog of the day came with one AT&T rep who was pissed off at more than just me trying to get an answer from her. And this is after she already told me the Tilt was ineligible for insurance

Me: So basically what your trying to say is that if I break my phone I'm pretty much screwed

AT&T Lady: umm... well. You can apply to get insurance on your phone and than you would be covered.

Me: you just told me I can't put insurance on my phone at all and you can't fix it for me

AT&T Lady: Wait. You can't put insurance on this? Hang on. (here she put me on hold to, what I assume at least, check her facts again) Alright Mr. Davis we can't insure your phone. Can I offer you a replacement Tilt at full retail price?

Let's get it it together AT&T, support the customers that pay your bills. We don't get the corporate discounts you get so it's a little ridiculous having to deal with all this crap.

Suggestion here...add an LCD Replacement walk-through to the Kaiser specific Wiki...or perhaps a whole section concerning DIY repairs and mods...Just something concise so it's a little easier to find. Thanks again to everyone though.

i ordered from htclcd.com (redirects to blackberry8100parts.com) on tuesday afternoon; i just received it from DHL. came in two separate boxes, one was the screen and tool, the other was another tool (different sizes). price was 68.80 including shipping from omaha, ne to knoxville, tn. regrettably i left the tilt at home so i can't do the replacement in the office today; i'll update when i've done the replacement (successfull or otherwise...) this evening or tomorrow morning. i'll try to remember to take some pics.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] paulsuerth:
take off the four outer screws, and GENTLY GENTLY GENTLY pry the outer plastic bezel/frame off. you have to remove a philips head screw inside and to the left of the ear-peice speaker (as you look at the board from the back of the ear-peice (i.e. the inside of the bezel); i did not put this screw back on when re-assembling, i did pry the ear-piece connectors up a little to make sure they had enough stroke to make contact. you will need to remove GENTLY the adhesive that holds the sim-carrier to the back of the screen. once the parts are apart you can see the plug to remove the screen from the back of the button pad. reverse to reassemble. you do not have remove any peices from the main body or remove the screen from the main body IF you are only replacing the touch screen. i'll have my pics uploaded some time tomorrow. FYI, htclcd.com did not include the "plastic tool" that you are to use to pry the bezel off with but judicious use of a micro-driver and a guitar pick got the job done; for 20$US less than the competition and 2 day delivery, i am very happy with my purchase from them (htclcd.com = blackberry8100parts.com).

cheers all!

Are you sure that I only need to remove four (or five) screws to do a screen replacement? Do I still need to separate the front and back part according to instructions here for "Skdvr Replace the Kaiser LCD Screen" ( http://michael-channon.mobile.spaces.live.com/ent.aspx?h=cns!4472423472DCFC38!287&fp=/top.aspx )

If it is four or five screws I can do it, but the directions oon the Channon site seems intimidating. Thanks for your help in advance.

do it w/out voiding the warranty?

Hi,

I am like a few of the people out there... i JUST bought my Tilt and the screen cracked... so I'm ordering one from blackberry1800parts.com and going to try and replace it... Can i do it without voiding the warranty? I am going to try the 4 screw method and see how that goes... any suggestions?

I'm hoping to fix it and return it to wait for the Touch Pro and NOT have to pay for the WHOLE touch pro...

Any ideas?!?

bump/anyone done this?

So, looking to sort of bump this and find out if anyone has successfully replaced the screen on their tilt w/the four screw method... not only that have you replaced it without seriously damaging your phone?

I ask because i'm hoping to replace my screen and return it... if i cant return it, i'll probably ebay it... BUT if i can replace the screen w/the 4 screw method AND return it to ATT that'd be great... Just wondering if anyone has had such luck...

Some help

Hey, so I just broke my screen for the second time and ordered one from blackberry8100parts.com too. I actually ordered it on the 10th and had priority shipping on it. It says it hasn't even been shipped yet and bb8100p's customer support has been totally non responsive to me. I was wondering if you know if your screen has shipped yet or if you got it already. Just trying to figure out when my screen will get here.

On the other issue, whether at&t will take the phone. I honestly think if you do it right it should be fine. Just send it back and hope for the best I guess. Other than that you can only just be honest with the dude at the at&t store and hope for the best. there's a good set of photo directions earlier in this post, look through it and read the comments. there should be some help there. and if your gonna sell it on ebay I recommend unlocking it first. should be worth some more their even with the replaced screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scdavis:
I bought mine through google checkout and just emailed them through that and got info about it... I shipped it vial USPS and it said that it shipped on the 14th (ordered on the 10th also) and Monday was Columbus day, so I assume thats why its taking a little longer. I live near a major USPS building, so once it gets there I usually get it the next day. but we'll see...

I talked to one of the managers at the ATT store near me and was trying to get it replaced even with the broken screen, but he couldnt take it back... So i mentioned that what if it gets fixed and he said sure bring it back, but it cant look like it was taken apart... so when i do disassemble it, i'll have to be REALLY careful...

And yeah if i EBAY it i'm sure i'll unlock it and include a microSD card and possibly a cool theme or something... maybe manilla2d... we'll see..

Oh, on the first replacement, how did you do it? did you take it totally apart or just do the 4 screws?

Any advice either way besides go slow and be careful? heh...

-SCDavis
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] l3urton32:
When i did it i took it all apart...than again i kinda just wanted to play around inside the phone too. Just be careful and slow is right. I had the luxury of using a light table and a sweet stationary magnifying glass when i did it so im sure that helped but you should be ok. i think when i do it this time im going to just take the back off of the screen though, way faster. and still no word from bb8100parts.com on where my screen is.

good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scdavis:
Just got the screen in today AND replaced it... it was difficult to get the rest of the frame around the screen to click in, but it did! i'm sure it would have been just more steps to do it the right way, but again i dont want to "void" my warranty...

Hopefully the ATT guy will let me return it and stuff... we'll see... I'll post to let anyone interested know... I'm also going to put my sim in and my microSD in to make sure they both work properly... otherwise its back to the #4 hex!

OH and it wasn't even the LCD that was cracked... JUST the touchscreen part... fun stuff...

-SCDavis

Oh and i'm sure your screen will be in soon l3urton... but keep on them if it doesnt... call them up and bug them...

I ordered a replacement screen for my Tilt from blackberry8100parts.com about two weeks ago and I haven't received a shipment notice, nor have they responded to my e-mails. Apparently this has been happening recently. It's becoming a little annoying.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hotwell:
give ebay a try, it worked for me, the screen came within 1 week.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fidgetyphil:
My screen broke and I sent it off to HTC under the warranty. needless to say they declined to honour the warranty, but won't tell me why. Billed me for £86.00 to fix it but can't take a credit card payment only cheque. Sent them a cheque but they won't start to repair it until the cheque is cashed. Their repair tracking option on the website lists the bill as still outstanding. The call centre says the bill has been paid and the phone should be repaired but can't tell me when by. Frankly they don't know if they are Arthur or Martha but they do have my money and my phone, and I don't look like getting either back shortly. To date they've had it for a month. Fortunately they did send me a customer satisfaction survey so thats OK.

NorthBay Electronics

If you search for "www.northbayelectronics.com" you'll find many

entries that are exactly the same as the one posted above on this

forum. Clearly someone from the company posted all these identical

entries under different user names. Let me balance that entry with

the perspective of a real customer.

I sent my iPhone 3G to NorthBay Electronics to repair water damage.

I called them before I sent my phone in and they said they were getting

so much business that it would take 3 - 5 days to fix my phone.

In the end, they had my phone for an entire week (let's say 5 business

days), and with the shipping time I was without my phone for 12 days.

I sent the phone in via USPS Express Mail. Apparently no one was home

the first time they tried to deliver it, so a day was lost there. I

chose FedEx for the return shipment. The phone was shipped back to me

via FedEx on a Friday. The price for the FedEx shipment was more than

what I paid for overnight Express Mail, but it was only for the FedEx

2day shipping, so I didn't receive my phone until Monday, despite the

fact that I'm only 3 hours away from them.

They claimed the battery in my phone wasn't working as well as it

should, which is plausible for damage such as this. It's also the

kind of thing where they could claim the battery is bad, charge me

for a replacement, and do nothing. So, I asked them to send me the

old battery. When I got the phone back, the old battery wasn't

included. Almost two months later, and after several emails to them

and several promises from them, I still don't have the old battery,

which makes me extremely suspicious.

In the end, although they did actually fix my phone, I can't recommend

them. Their customer service is poor, and their business practices

are questionable. There are plenty of other companies that offer

this service, some of them very well established. Take your business

to one of these other companies.

Obvious ATT Tilt Screw-up

I have an ATT Tilt I bought at the end of March 2008. I've still got it under warrenty but ATT won't replace phones under warrenty with any physical damage. I went to bed on Saturday night and woke up Sunday and the screen was cracked to Haites and back. The phone hadn't been touched, moved, had anything wet spilled on it, it was just cracked for no good reason. I've now called ATT probably 5 times in regards to this. They told me that the phone didn't have insurance, which I asked when the insurance was taken off of the phone because it had to have been taken off since I'd previously had it. I was informed that the Tilt isn't available for insurance, so even if I wanted insurance on it, I couldn't have gotten it. That tells me that there's an obvious manufactorer problem. I can't remember the site I went to, but I found a replacement screen for $50 and there's another site that has a video of how to take out the broken screen and put in the new screen. ATT transferred me to HTC and they wanted to charge me $200! This phone is a $500 phone, not to mention that our phone bill every month is close to, if not more than, $300, for 10 years! And ATT refuses to honor the warrenty on this phone because the screen is cracked and that's considered physical damage. I asked them how it could be physical damage if nothing physical was done to it. The screen just broke. I'm now seeing a pattern with this phone having this problem. I'm going to call ATT back today and I don't care if they don't replace it, I'm going to tell them what I think of them and HTC and what they can do with their defective phone! I am so mad about this. I don't have the money to buy a new phone. I like this phone and don't want to get one of those $15 Go-phones that are just the typical Nokia phone's. We don't pay ATT thousands of dollars a year to have them tell me that the $500 phone I bought isn't covered under warrenty because the screen is broke. This is something that needs some type of protest signed demanding this phone be replaced or everyone that has bought the phone and had the screen crack should be paid back so they can get a new phone and HTC needs to be put out of business. Just because these two businesses are legal companies doesn't mean they're not committing highway robbery by refusing to replace the phone or willing to have the manufactorer fix it for $200. That should be illegal!!! Good luck to you and getting your phone fixed...which I know this post is almost a year old...

paulsuerth, thank you very much for the instructions. I got my screen and then seen the other sites that say it takes 3-5 hours and you need to be a technician. I followed your instructions, took about 15 minutes all together. Phone works great, no problems at all. I didn't even have a torx, just used a small eyeglass phillips. Screws are not very tight, doesn't take much to get them out. Thanks again.
