Broken screen/Scratched housing replacement

[imasri29]

Hey,

about a week ago, my kaiser fell out ouf my hand and had it's face slide across ceramic floor while being stepped on. This leaving my LCD screen smashed with a beat up/scratched face.

I have ordered the face, lcd and D-Pad buttons. The only problem is i cannot find anywhere on the web (including this side) how to replace the lcd and case. The closest i came to what i needed was the FCC site, showing the dismantled Kaiser in different peices. No instructions were provided on how to take it apart. Any help?

Check this site out. It has a guide on dismantling the Tilt/Kaiser and can be use as a reference to do what you need done.

Good luck!

BTW, where did you purchase the replacement parts?

Nice he got the guide for the kaiser

i cant find a guide that a simpleton like me could use to replace a screen, has anyone done it?

[ecltech]

What's so hard about using the guide above??? Don't see what the issue is. If you can't do that then don't even bother opening the device. :)

thought i'd get that response but i can't afford to go down any other route other than do it myself. does anyone know if you have to follow the whole guide (i.e. seperating the two halves of the kaiser) to get access to the screen? also, i still cant see anything about how to replace the screen, just how to get into the back of the top half of the kaiser, could anyone elaborate on the proceeding actions required?

thanks in advance for all your help,
josh

there are a couple of posts on this site. You also need (although some have suceeded without it) a special plastic hook tool.

Check this out & GOOD LUCK, may the SCHWARTZ be with you!:)

Yes you must separate the two halves. There is absolutely no way getting around that.
The guides show you how to remove the screen however it does not show the actual picture of the screen outside the case. The last screen shot in the guide is the very last step you do prior to the screen being lifted out of the casing

no u don't have to seperate it completely when i did it I opened it enough to pop up the lcd and slide it out there are other users that have done the same, it all comes down to preference.

I bought a replacement D-pad (outer keypad) from http://cnn.cn/shop/index.php. When I received it, I found that the buttons were in different places than the original keypad on my AT&T 8925 Tilt. After installing the replacement keypad, at least the damaged keys are gone, but the stinking buttons are in the wrong place.

In the Settings menu I was able to reassign four of the eight buttons. But I still have four buttons in the wrong place. Unfortunalety this includes the green and red telephone buttons.

My question is, does anyone know where to get a replacement keypad with the correct button layout? For mine to be correct, the green and red phone buttons would be on the top.

Incidentally, I have seen this keypad in some photos of the HTC Kaiser (not newer photos).

Otherwise, if someone knew how to reassign all eight buttons, that would be just as good.

Thanks
