Screw fell out of my NIKI

[eyecrispy]

Last night, after I flashed the newest Mary ROM, it turned off suddenly and would not turn back on. I heard something rattling around in there so I took off the battery cover and removed the battery. Didn't see anything, so I took out the stylus to see if it was making the noise. When I shook the phone (gently), a very very very tiny screw flew out of the phone.

The phone now will randomly turn itself off.

I have no idea where this screw goes. I think I have to take the phone apart to look.

Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know how the screw could've come loose?

when i took my niki apart to line up the case better (HTC Build is SH@T!) two screws that hold the slider on were loose!!! in fact weren't even tightened up, which is odd, as all the others had some kinda blue glue holding them in. :/

so yes, mine were loose :D

oh wow. were those two loose screws very very very tiny? the one that fell out of mine were smaller than screws that you use to hold glasses together.

the one that fell out of my niki is 1/2 or 1/3 the size of that one. sooo small!

did you work it out? i took apart my nike to rebuid it a bit better, the back was creaking after last time i took it apart..

the screw could have come from a bunch of places, i noticed a small screw holding the mainboard in and one holding the small pcb at the top with the speaker etc.. its probably one of them. i'd screw it back in asap though.

good luck.

No. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to go buy a kit that I can use with those itty bitty screws. I hope to do it soon. Will report back to let you know where that little bugger came from.

Hey there...no available guide yet..? :D

[eyecrispy]

I sent my husband to the store to get tools so I can put this cursed screw back in my phone but the kit he got was too big! What kind of tools are you guys using to take your phones apart?? Where might I get some??

im not sure where you can get them - most likely any hardware store, online, ebay. there are 2 types of screws in the nike.. you'll need a torx screwdriver (a t6 should do it) to get it open, and a real small philips (not sure about size.. just real small lol) for a couple of screws inside..

I'm pretty sure the one we tried was a t6. I'll have to verify.

I know this is slighty offtopic and i apologise. However, after you tightened your case up did it eliminate all the 'wobble' when the device was closed? :)
