Cheapest Replacement screen for Alpine

Like a twat, I have trod on my beloved XDA IIi and cracked the screen.
Does anyone know of anywhere on the internet I can locate a replacement screen kit. I am located in the UK, I have found one on Ebay for about £95.oo from Hong Kong, but I would prefer from UK and at a cheaper price cause I'm skint.
Thanks

Have a look here. Worked for me when I had to strip my 2i down.
Where did you get your screen from by the way?

I got the screen from here, http://www.runpda.com/ , it cost £93.00
including shipping. But I got stung by customs for £38.00 Tax, rip-off, so it cost me £131.00 in total. I've bought from this part of the world before and not been charged by taxman, its just the luck of the draw.
Someone suggested this place in the UK, but I had already ordered, if anybody tries this one, post costs etc for everyone. Mobile Repair Centre in London. 177a North end road 0207 610 3103.
I've dismantled my XDA IIi and the new screen is in and she is working fine now, I'm so happy. Thanks to all

I cracked my screen about a week after I got my Cingular 8125. Cingular basically told me I was out of luck. I ended up selling the broken unit on eBay, and getting a new one off eBay.

how much did everything cost you

Kaiser Replacement LCD ?

My 2 weeks old Kaiser slipped from my hands and the LCD broke !! I am looking for a good repair shop in Belgium or any links from which I can procure a new LCD screen real fast! Any pointers would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if the LCD screen is covered under the HTC warranty ??

whipout ur htc carepack, call the number nearest you. They probably would fix it for you for a small charge. Keep in mind, repair shops aren't htc specialists.... So my suggestion is that you contact htc and see what they can do for you.

i feel for you :{
my girlfriend just got her LCD cracked from a roller coaster (stupid safety bars). probably going to take a few weeks for us to get a replacement screen since they don't even sell the kaiser here.
she keeps subconsciously trying to touch the screen on her interm dumb-phone... and sighs.

do it yourself! buy a replacement screen on ebay, and look for replacement instructions on this forum

how easy does the screen crack if you drop it? just for arguments sake shouldn't the phones be able to sustain a reasonable drop? After all you are constantly using it in your hands so it is likely you would drop it at least once.

Put this under you favorites

My Tilt has only 2 buttons on the right, the power and camera buttons. http://cnn.cn/shop/images/IMG_5052.JPG shows there are 3 buttons. What's the 3rd button?

I found that on expansys website while i was checking for a good screen protector... Have a look here :
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~HTC_TyTN_II-972~area~repairs.htm
I think 169 $ is pretty good for a whole LCD replacement?
Hope it helps.

Well, I've taken up a hobby of repairing all makes/models of phone that I can get parts for, so I'd be exceptionally grateful if you could provide some info as to WHERE and HOW you get them so cheaply....
TIA!

there are a few shopping mall in china that sell only spare part for pc, mobile phones and all micro electronics part.
and because most of the oem and third party parts are all made in china, its always cheaper to buy from there, I travel to china a lot, and in search for some parts, I did come across some tytn II parts.
but then you need to live in china or hong kong just like me, so you can go back and forward.
I can also let you know that only micro electronics parts and mobile spare parts are cheaper in china, PC stuff are cheaper in hong kong, as well as back up service.
you need to go to wha qheung ( my own english translation) street along the china railway system, most of them do bulk buy and send overseas, but its best to be there in person, as you cannot trust them sometime.
next time i'll get the address when I go over again, but i'll don't think you will travel there.

Does anyone know of a decent protective case for the Touch Pro

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers

I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.

The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

I like the case, but does the flap get in the way when trying to make a call?

No sir. It flips all the way around to the back of the phone. I got a case just like it for my 8525. I really like the design.

Looks like I may have found my case then!! Now to go for book style or the other... hmmm....

How does the phone stay in the Pdair case? Is there a plastic film over the slideout keyboard? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures.

The best Case Ever
Hey I just got my new Kursell orbit flex case And let me say the best I have ever had it's a Stay in case with a plastic cover over the keyboard also it's a 2 part case So the front lid comes off along with slots for a micro and sd card slot in the case WoW.... Take a look

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...

Replacement full casing/housing

I purchased one of these as the housing i had was getting very messy
http://cgi.ebay.ie/FULL-HOUSING-KEYBOARD-HTC-TyTN-II-2-P4550-P-KAISER-/180496072719?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0667800f
DONT BUY THIS KIT !!!
The item was listed as new but clearly most of the parts were used.
The biggest problem I had was with the front face plate.
There is a few gold "connectors" that have to be melted in the plastic.
I had to break these out of my old case and used a soldering iron to put them into the new faceplate.
There was also the gold screw holes! these were a real pain.
Again they needed to be broken from the old case and then gently heated with the iron until they melted into their respective hole.
Maybe this is what I should have expected but it would have been nice if they said a little fiddling was required for fitting.
The keyboard was also not as the picture is. It was a chinese keyboard so I just used my own.
All in all it worked out well and my phone looks spanking new but its not really a worthwhile mod given the cost and hastle.

I was also planning to buy that housing but had a second thought about the keyboard. my original keyboard is all black and doesnt have the white numpad.
thanx for the advice ! ill try to inquire from other seller.
how about this one?
http://cgi.ebay.ph/FULL-HOUSING-KEY...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b0bf01ef

A few days ago I received the same housing from the same vendor and is all ok. Mounting screw is settled and the exterior is not damaged.
Before ordering I contacted him and sent a picture of my phone. When he confirmed that everything (including keyboard) is identical, I ordered. I got the body and I get happy.
I think you had bad luck

Maybe its bad luck but eBay rules are pretty straight forward.
I was not sold what was listed in the pictured and it was not new (item had marks from use where case slides apart and also scratching.)
The keyboard was not the one in the picutes. I actually have a full black KB but wanted to go with the white panelled one in the pic.
What I got was a chinese all black KB. Useless to me.
Anyway, i got my phone rebuilt and its looks new and works great. It took a little more fiddling than I would have expected and the KB was wrong.
I left Neutral feedback for the vendor because I felt I got what I needed.

codejack:
sorry to say but it is really a bad luck. lets try to be careful with items like that and inquire every detail of the item we will buy. thanks for sharing pal
pozabi:
thanks for the tip. ill try to send a picture of my unit when i buy a full housing so that everything will be clear to the seller
