Hi, xda... I am a quiet user here, but i love your forum... it's like godlike for me, but now to the point!

So i got a HTC TyTn HERM200 and i used it for one year, so i figured that i cud buy it a new housing because its old housing looks simply used out! So i downloaded the HTC TyTn service manual to see how to change the housing perfectly right! So i did! I changed the housing perfectly i didn't miss a thing!

BUT... obviously i did...

Now wen i slide the keyboard open, the screen wont rotate anymore! I am desperate, cuz i tried everything.

Maybe some of you who changed the housing before me can help me out, give me a hint or something...

I DID READ the WIKI... there was nothing about my problem, please, please... HELP ME... :(:(:(

When i changed the housing i didn't see the micro little magnet that was on the old housing, that you must replace from the old to the new one... it is a tiny little magnet!!! :mad: But i found it, it was on the back cover inside of the LCD part of the phone (or PDA/PPC)...

it was really hard to locate it, but i found it! SUPERB... now i can live happy with my new look old Hermes, a smooth black housing that i got on ebay...!!!
