I have dropped my XDA exec (very lightly) and the damn screen has broke. I am surprised at how delicate the damn thing is, when i had my XDA2s i threw that about and nothing!!

The part that is damaged is the LCD section

Anybody got any numbers for repair centres? I have rang o2 but they want £185.00 on 01603269927 :oops:

Try HTC, but I remeber it being cheaper to buy a C500 (sim free) than get it repaired!

I tried to get my Exec repaired by HTC Europe. Sent it to them as well. They sent it back saying they could not as it was different from the Orange and T-Mo versions.

How about SBE? They do Jasjar repairs, not sure about other models though.

SBE 0871 2000 995

Thanks so far. it costs £379 for a new XDA exec from o2, im going to give ema call and see what the other comapnies say.

i have noticed that there is a BIG void in PDA repairs, maybe a new business venture

My screen cracked also when dropped from only 18 inches onto a soft linolium floor. I couldn't believe it. I have never seen a screen that was so fragile.

I bought a junk JASJAR from Ebay and swapped screens myself. I am a pretty good technican. It works fine now.

I have a broken JASJAR for sale for $200 US. It has a broken screen and a bad motherboard. Everything looks physically good though.

I cracked my wizard two weeks ago or something like that, i have had alot of pda phones but haven't cracked a display yet on them and they have been with me on alot of wierd partys.... So said that you can't use warranty on that, we should do something about this

If i crack my Qtek 9000 im gonna start crying

This is scary. I'm thinking maybe I should superglue mine to my hand. I've grown pretty attached to it anyway. :wink:

HTC Europe 0871 223 0217- all you get is a damn answering machine - crap


SBE 0871 2000 995 - they said that they do not touch o2 PDAs for some odd reason!!

any suggestions or will i have to fork out £185.00 HELP!!!

I have know some other people who have had the PDA screens damaged on exec, i dropped my old XDA2s on the road at least 3 times, no screen damage, and i drop the damn EXEC on my CAR HANDBRAKE - lightly, and the screen damages

:roll:

i think it is just luck whether you get a good one or not. when I bought mine the screen broke after one day. it cracked round the corners when i turned the screen. i knew how dodgy the hinges and lcds were as well so i was being extra gentle with it as well. since having it replaced the new one has taken a bit of a beating and is still ok. touch wood. i think my hinge will go though, or at least something other than the screen just to rub it in.
