Believe me I've look, but can't find it anywhere.
I wa't to prepare myself before replacing the touch screen, that has obviously broken.

It's not in the Wiki, where it should by IMO

Updating a Wiki? -> Wiki has been updated by adding "/magician" to string "disassembling Charmer"


Furthermore, the manual only goes as far as removing the parts from the housing and cleaning some contacts on the earpiece.

Missing are:
How to remove/clean-contacts the backup battery and replacing the touch screen from the display.

As I stated that I'm not lazy, I will post both procedures shortly. I've already succesfully removed the touch screen from the display (very tough doublesided tape). I've ordered a new one from hong kong (€ 5,-).
The rebiuld of this touchscreen will be photodocumented and posted in hopefully 14 days (shipping!!)

My vibrator is spinning at a slower speed that it used to. As you pull apart yours for the screen fix, can you also please provide some pics of how and where its mounted so that I can compare it to mine before I pull it apart to check. This area isn't shown in the speaker repair document in the Wiki.

I will provide a picture for the vibrator.
It it mounted in the front plate, but you have to remove the systemboard to get to it. It has two spring contacts that may cause a bad connection. cleaing with a pencil erasor and alcohol wil probably help.

i had the casing of my xda mini replaced in a celphone shop. however, the imbecile damaged my xda phone and now its signal signal is intermittent. the signal goes off, sometimes it is recovered in its own but oftentimes you have to manually search for a signal. now i cannot use its phone function since how can my messages and calls be received if i dont have any signal. can this problem be solved or remedied?
