Broken Screen: Million Dollars Question PLEASE READ!!!

---

I have recently broke my XDA screen.

Does anybody know if the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same as the XDA? Is there any hardware modification to be done or the connectors are ALL the same?

People at Microsoft told me the Wallaby was designed after the Ipaq 3630, so most of the parts, including the screen should be the same.

Please advise. It could be helpful for a lot of people fouled by O2 with CRAZY requests for fixing the screen.

The ipaq 3600 series screen is bigger.

I have no idea about what you asked, but I would really like to know how you broke your screen?

it is very easy to make the screen break ... just drop your XDA, it happened to one of my XDAs

i drop mine about 5x a day...(scratches on case, looseing that wen vibrates, it rattles alot)...thats why im SERIOUSLY lookin for a dummy model, but everytime i try to check on ebay, the auctions are over...so i tried going to TMO stores, or where ever they carry them, always ask the sales ppl if they could just sell me the model, an they never want to :roll: i jus tell em to order an extra one, an say sumone stole the old one....but since theyr too stcuk up to get a few extra $$$$ in there pockets, ima just have to "take" one

Basically the screen has imploded. I was talking, the screen went on power saving mode, and when ended the call it was broken.

O2 asked me too much money to repair, but I am sure the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same size, already checked.

Has anyone tried to open up both devices and check it?

Just want to know if connectors are the same.

Thanks

yes, my friend did open the device .... not mine but the similar unit - MDA, seems like it is a sony make, but according to his words IPAQ screen will not fit

BTW I have the same problem - I have two machines - one MDA with broken but functioning screen and XDA I do operate on a daily basis, I can make calls from both units ... but hesitating between repair and sale as is

You must have the only ipaq 3630 that has a screen the same size as xda1, I have one in front of me and I will eat my shirt on camera if you manage to get it into the xda1.

although I am not going to eat my shirt :lol: but I agree that screen sizes are different
