Reset Button Lost- I finally fixed it. HTC... Bad assembly Quality !!!

[ahegazi]

Suddenly yesterday I can't insert the stylus in its place to the end. It stuck before it's fully inserted in my Diamond. Trying to explore the problem, surprisingly the RED dot of the reset button is not there. I'm going to disassemble the lower part of the phone to see what the problem is. However, I'm trying to find the lost reset button, but I'm searching for something that I don't know what it looks like.

Can someone be kind enough to post a photo of the reset button while taking the battery cover off?


Thanks a lot.

As you probably still have waranty you shouldn't disassemble it yourself. Bring it back to the shop you have it from and have them repair your device.

Finally I was able to fix the problem. Thanks goes to SecureGSM for posting the photo.

After comparing the the photo to my phone and other photos I downloaded it form http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/raz...ond/index.html, I knew what was wrong and I'll try to explain it for the benefit of everybody.

What happen is that a small magnet piece (responsible for holding the stylus) is glued to the phone. And somehow, the it was pulled by the movement of stylus (in & out) and was stuck on the reset button and hide it. !!! very strange.

I had to dismantle the side plastic bar (where the stylus goes in) and re-glued the magned in its place. Then finally assimbled everthing back again.

I just can't believe that the the magnet is fixed with a very weak glue that goes off in less than two weeks of use.

In the attached images I tried to explain how I did it.

Thank you very much for your description of this problem. I experienced the same problem today with my stylus and saw that the magnet was sticking not on his place, but somewhere inside the backside cover.

I only want to know from you if you removed really all the parts inside the diamond to reach the original place of the magnet? Or is it enough just to unscrew just the 2 screws of the steel plate of the stylus holder?

I have fixed it now without unscrewing anything. You just need small fingers and much patience!

Of course it's better to use a new glue strip, but I used the existing one...
I will see how long it works till the magnet is again placed anywhere in the cover ;)

Hopefully this will not happen again! You just have to watch out, not to use the stylus outside on the right side of the diamond.

I never knew the diamond had a soft reset button till now atleast :D

On the matter of build/assembly quality - is anyone else finding there pressure sensitive Enter/OK/Select (or whatever you want to call it) key slightly going deeper into the groove of the panel [Home,Back,Answer,End panel)? Mine is no longer sitting flush with the panel and I can feel that it has been 'pushed' in.
