HTC Destruction Anonymous?

[hooty]

Hi, My name is Hooty, I'm an HTC Killer. Tonight marks my 7th HTC phone to be destroyed in some form in my possession...
1. Jasjar - Screen
2. Dash - Screen shatter - replaced
3. Dash - Charging Circuit Fried
4. Advantage - Screen - replaced it.... then...
5. Advantage - Charging Circuit Fried (both related to 1 single bad charger...)
6. Diamond Euro - Slammed in a door and frame bent (screen survived miraculously, but permanently mis-aligned)
7. Diamond US - Fell in to a puddle from my laptop bag....

So this leads me up to my next question, the internals of the Diamond Euro seem to be just fine, it was just the frame and exterior that are bad, with the exception being the screen... Is it feasible to change out the radio and any other boards affect by the water for the unwatered down parts from the Euro version? or are they non-interchangeable? I am not worried about the 3G capability as I use T-mobile US and of course they use off-frequencies for their 3G..... I have the manual downloaded and definitely have all of the tools (have done the screens on all of my devices myself, so technical prowess isn't the issue). Just need to know the interchangeability of the parts....

Phones: 7 down.... how many more to go?

i would have thought the main board etc would be generic.

hmmm, let the phone drip dry over night in a warm room (after pulling sim, stylus, battery and back) and it seems to be doing alright with the exception of the triggered moisture indicator.... maybe I got lucky this time....

My wife's blue angel fell in the toilet... don't ask. Same thing though, I thought it was toast but after it had fully dried it worked fine, I won't comment on the smell :) Seriously though it lasted until I got sick of it.

Of the phone or the smell? ;)

So far, it is doing well, just means I keep my other phone for being a test bed for whatever ROMs I want to play with.....
