Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, but xda-developers has come up on a lot of my Google searches. My G1 had a run in with a storm drain. I managed to fish it out, only after sitting in water for about 20 minutes. I dried it out for 3 days, and to my surprise, it turned on and worked for about 15 minutes, until it crashed again. I believe the problem is some corrosion on one of the keys. While it was on, the home button appeared to be "stuck" as the recent application screen kept appearing and disappearing.
Well, I found the service manual and proceeded to disassemble the entire phone to clean all the components. Now I need advice on where to find the non-reusable tape and gasket tape in the phone. The part numbers for the tape are in the manual, but I cannot find a place to order HTC parts.
Any advice, or ideas for alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Matt
