I think DIY is a daunting project.
I do remember that when 8125's first came out there were a lot of reports of faulty keyboards. I would certainly go back to your eBay seller if I could.
There is a parts and repair company that can probably fix this but it's not cheap: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...rs-full+service+repairs~action~updateunit.htm

As you might have noticed in my previous thread, my Wizard took a splash.
Now, after ordering a new LCD screen, my keyboard seems to have stopped working on certain keys, and the LEDS won't go on anymore.
I think the flat cable between the board and the keyboard unit has gotten a breach in it.
Now, does anybody know where I can get a replacement keyboard, the electronics that is?
Or does anybody have a broken wizard I can buy cheap to canabalise to repair my own?
I can't seem to find anything on the internet, and I am really fond of my little Wizard.
Please, can someone help me ,before I go broke trying to buy myself a new one?
Just a simple question:
Are both phones the same? Do they use the same stylus pen? Do they use the exact same motherboard, screen, connectors and etc? The only difference is the case and keyboard shape?
Thanks in advance!
Both devices are HTC WIZARD 200. They have a different housing face plate and keypad. Therefore also the shape of the stylus might vary - I am not sure! I am using the MDA version which looks better on the front in my opinion. Allthrough I think the keyboard looks better on the 8125 ...
Anything else is the same in the devices.
A friend of mine is sending me a dead MDA and I'd like to know if I buy a Cingular 8125 with a broken screen, will I be able to use the motherboard from the MDA or the screen from the 8125 to get a fully functional unit?

I wouldn't buy a 8125 with a broken screen in first place! Research this forum for the SERVICE MANUAL of the HTC WIZARD! After seeing how to take it appart you might be able to imagine that too much can go wrong! The screen and the keyboard are the last things you can access! You open the device on the back and have to work all way down piece by piece until there ...
I saw broken screen WIZARDs on eBay for $150.00 - compared to that you can find working dev ices for $200.00 w/o contract.
Yeah I saw the service manual and got scared too, but I can give it a try I think, if I find a broken device for less than $150
Hi there,
My HTC TyTN screen is defect after I tried to repair the alignment issue. HTC seems not to be able to send me a new screenpart. Is there anyone here with a defect HTC TyTN after flashing who is willing to sell me his device?
Or does anyone know where to get spare parts in europe for the TyTN?
Thanks!
Dennis
screen defect
Hi there,
I have (on rare ocasions) seen tytn parts on ebay selling fairly cheap, it might be worth checking on there.
Failing that I thought HTC had a repair centre somewhere in London, you may have to leave it with them for a few days but they should be able to fix it for you for a fee.

There was a thread recently from someone looking for the screen ribbon cable - this pointed to a couple of websites which sold tytn (maybe the O2 version) screens.
I'm a bit busy at the moment but will post the links if I find them later.
Edit: found the links - They're in this thread, hope on is useful to you:

Almost 2½ years on and buying a brand new screen for a TyTN is not very economical anymore. If there is anyone on this forum with a paypal account, a broken TyTN/P3600 (but working screen !) and a helpful nature, then will you sell me your old TyTN so I can take out the screen and fix mine which cracked today ?
Thanks for any tips !
Hello all
I require some input from some of the gurus of xda-devs and its a question im guessing a lot people would like to know the answer to
Can we swap spare parts from say a Cingular 8525 to a MDA Vario II? (Herm200 --> Herm300)
what i mean to say is, lets say we could only find a front keypad for a cingular 8525, would it fit into the vario II?of course the orientation of keys would be correct for the cingular and not for the vario so you'd need a new front keypad aswell, but on the 'technical' level, is this possible?
many thanks
Don't quote me on this BUT I believe I read a post from Mike Channon saying that internally ALL the Hermes variants were the same. Be best to search through his threads, website or ask the maestro himself...
Cheers...
Yes that's probably about 99% true, BUT I notice the d/pad layout on some variants is quite different and so the underlying board may well be different - have not had time to fully check this.
Mike
Thanks for clearing that up Mike, as I said I wasn't totally sure...
Cheers...
many thanks
so mike, my theoretical scenario, would it work?
if i was to get a cingular 8525 d-pad board and a 8525 keypad to go over it, technically it ought to work right?

I tried to check that out and did not find much info. BUT I see no reason for it not to work circuit wise. You might need to remap keys.
Have you checked that the 8525 keypad will fit the housing you have?
Mike
id happily modify the housing as a temporary thing, but i reckon i'll give it a shot and report back. i have a hunch it will fix the white screen issue.
does anyone know of anyone who has a brick they'd like to sell?!
Ebay is good, bought a couple of dud jasjams off there to fix mine and wouldn't you know it, one actually worked except for the camera & battery. Ended up cannobilizing MY Jasjam to fix up the "broken" one I purchased for parts....

Hi I I have a small problem with my Vario II with Ebay I have bought at an auction has exchanged with the Seller because he meant the touchscreen is broken, well, besides, I imagined nothing one can still use it, However, now I wanted this gets put back this everything goes though, however, as Windows me asks the touchscreen to aim I can make nothing the touchscreen is broken is there any alternative?
MY einglisch is not so good
YES but ive found a new Touchscreen,but it takes time after the paket will be here i want also se the MDA
Mike, I think Dracon775 means "use"...
You need to find a program called Remote Screen Alignment (you can find it if you google it - its freeware). It can fix this BUT you will also need a friend who has the same phone to get the alignment settings as this program stores them on he pc.
It was intended for people who can't, for medical reasons, hit the 5 alignment points so they can have these great devices also.
Cheers...
