Hi There,

I have disassembled many devices over the years, and no matter how delicate you are with them, always keep in mind that most of them were never designed to take the stresses and strains of being dismantled.

Chances are too that you might nick a ribbon cable or worse, the board and turn your device into a pretty looking paper weight.

I live by the rule of "if its not broke, dont fix it."

If you do happen to go ahead with it then I wish you the very best of luck!

i live by the rule: "if it has screws - unscrew it and dismantle!" :P

almost every electronic device can be dismantled easliy... im not pro-uber-electronic but ive dismantled many electronic devices of all kind, including every phone/pocketpc that i ever had and i never had any problems with putting them back alive... just remember to be careful with mainboard, extremally careful with display and treat well the display cable/tape ;)

ouch... and try not to damage the guarantee sticker... or get one on ebay ;)

hi,
i tried opening my Pda2k as it was having a sound of a broken peice inside after a free fall to the ground, well, i got the tiny broken peice out, but now i have a white screen with no display, it seems the the pda is working well but there is no display,
i tried several times to plug the Screen plug into its socket but no way, sometimes it gets display but for a second then vanish .

any help from those who have done this several times ??
