Keyboard hardware sliding sound /problem

First of all I'm not talking about the sound the phone makes when you slide it out. As in the software one, the when that only works if the phone is on.
There's a window on the back of the phone which you can slide only if the keyboard is out. Look at the picture.

When I slide the keyboard out, the section of plastic seems to grip and so it will make a clicking sound when it springs back to cover the insides. Look at picture
The window wont slide into place when I slide the keyboard out. It just stays there until the spring has enough force to pull it, which makes a loud click *shhhk
Does anyone know how to fix this?

bump. please

Pretty sure that the spring is actually supposed to be connected to that piece of plastic - I moved mine a little bit with my keyboard open; looks like this is just a protector for the ribbon cable.
Perhaps since you can see the spring in your pic, it's come loose somehow? Sorry I don't have any further insight - perhaps someone who has replaced a screen / keyboard may have further insight.

The spring on mine is connected to the piece of plastic. The problem is the window doesn't slide close when I slide the keyboard out. Instead it stays half open until I slide the keyboard out further, then the window snaps close making a annoying sound.
On your phone if you slide the window back can you see the spring?

I'm sorry to bump again. but this is really annoying me.
Can anyone else take a picture of that window when they force it open, as in slid it with your finger.
Also when you slide it out can you ever see the window open at all.

I don't think that's normal what you're experiencing, the not sliding till it's all the way open thing. Call HTC up if it's still under warranty and see what they say. However, mind looks exactly the same if you slide the ribbon protector, you see the spring in mine, but mine looks flat against the ribbon, and curled up tighter than yours is. Mine is a couple months old, perhaps you may have worn the spring loose from usage over time. But the spring shows on mine, albeit flat, and tighter.

Thanks, I bought it off ebay, I dont think its under warranty plus I've already flaSHED IT. I think you're right about the spring.

acer s200 touch syntetizer (the clear plastic over the lcd)

Hi i have to change the touch panel due to a big scratch,anyone here know if i have to disassembly all the phone?Or else someone with a service manual?

My phone was out in the rain for a bit so my digitizer is all messed up. Only thing I can do is touch the bottons on bottom. Not much function in the touchscreen besides that. Have ordered a new digitizer and will hopefully get it by the weekend or next week. Can report back how it goes with the disassembly or have you already done yours? Please give a report on how to do it if that's the case.

I m still waiting for mine from hong kong.look s like someone else had changed the syntetizer in the forum,but i had no reply to my question

Ok. I guess we'll have to wait and see who gets his first. Whoever does though it would be nice with a report on how it went.

Hi i ve received the touch panel,but i tried to disassembly the phone,but i can not get the cover to open.I unscrewed the 5 screws on the rear but the cover is as strong as before.Have you ever tried to disassembly our phone?
And the touchscreen i received it s not the new one but the old engineering example,i think it s the same but i want to try the respone so i can give the seller the positive or negative feedback.The panel differ from the classic one for the acer logo on top right,not at the bottom center,and...there is the trasparent hole near the headphone for the front camera as you can see from this old sample picture

And this is mine

I read in the screen replacement forum. There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house.
Hope that helps. The guy in hongkong that sent me the digitizer sent it by registered air mail first but sent another one by EMS so hopefully i'll have it this week.

Ok i ve found the way by myself,it s not so difficult,i ve seen the two screws after...You have only to pay attenction to not force too much the plastics when you try to open the cover and when you try to detach the touch panel.The best way is to use a guitar plectrum and start to open from the bottom right,for the touch you have to go carefully.Now i ask in the forum if they need a guide with high res photos,because i ve taked pictures with my nokia n95

Well I would be really interested in seeing the pictures. Please do share. How's the new touchscreen working out ?

You can see my guide in the general section,maybe will be sticked.The panel is working good,but it seems a little less sensitive than the official oem one.Maybe the engineering sample is a little different.In plus the light from the touch keys is not diffused good,and i have an hole for the front camera,wich is not present in retail s200.But if you go to the guide you can see pictures

I have now changed my digitizer and thanks to your guide it went pretty smooth. Was done in about 10-15 mins. I got the oem one but the buttons on the bottom is diffuse as you said yours was. maybe i can move the white from the old one to make it nices. Probably won't bother though. Don't really find a difference in response from before the change.

How to fix unresponding digitizer

So I bought a replacement screen, it became unresponding to touch within a few days. After sending it for a replacement the new one had the same issue right away. This time I desided to give it a go fixing it myself. I'd like to share with you how to fix this problem.
First of all the problem, the touch screen is not responding; its feeling very warm when you turn on your phone on the left down corner. The left down corner is where the screens hardware chip is located.
There are enough video's on youtube how to dissable your phone; so I will skip that part. Remove the screen and continue reading.
==================================================================================
Remove the copper carefully, try to keep it in one pieces. Its probably a ground field to keep interferences away.
If you dont want to remove the white plastic frame of your screen, you can cut it carefully for a little. Make sure you cut as less as needed and never cut it completely. Don't cut it near connections.

After remove the copper you see an L shape of components, protected for short circuits by an L shape on the copper plate. These are circled with red.
Then also note there is an arrow on the picture, showing there are more conductors, but these are unprotected! Pressing on the screen cause short-wiring here. Fix it by placing some kind of protector on it ( insulation tape or something like that). Place the copper back and assemble your phone!

Thanks. You have resolved a long standing problem with my 1020, two displays later.
For others:
To insulate those exposed components use the proper stuff. Kapton tape. Google it. Sold by electronics suppliers and on ebay.
Also, look carefully at the circuit board for uninsulated vias. Vias are the small holes that join tracks between layers in the circuit. They look like a small gold circle with a tiny hole in the middle. Cover these too.

Thank you so much ! :good::good:

You are a genius

Battery Percentage Colour And Fingerprint Sensor

Hello, I'm a newbie here and have had my Oppo for a few weeks or so, its on an O2 contract, not modded in any way and the English version. Two things, I did have a search but could not find anything.
Coming from an HTC where the FP sensor worked faultlessly I am finding the Oppo sensor works maybe 50% of the time first time. I registered four of my prints and it took several attempts to register my fingerprints in the first place and will often take several attempts to unlock the phone. It doesn't seem to help if the screen is forensically clean or a bit mucky and the same for my fingers. I know it has a stock screen protector and am tempted to remove this to see if it improves it. Anyone else had this issue? I do have face recognition set up and thankfully that usually works very well but in these current times I may be masked up so a fingerprint has to suffice and anyway sometimes its dark. It also seems to be an absolute dust magnet, I am permanently sweeping a little bit of dust around the screen.
Second thing, sometimes the percentage figure inside the battery is a beige colour and sometimes it's not, I don't think it's a setting as I'm not changing any settings in between and it can switch from beige to clear and vice versa, probably has a few days being beige then swaps to clear for a few days, has anyone else experienced this? See pic:

As an aside I have been using this case which is OK but not perfect, the main fault with it for me though is that you can't fit a dust cap in the USB socket, or rather you can but it's an absolute chore to try and get it out when you want to charge it as the case is quite chunky. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08C2JQBWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: I had power saving mode on which is why the battery was beige.

Same question about the fingerprint sensor.

X2 Pro on O² contract here too (it's unlocked not branded with O² btw). FP works flawlessly just like previous phones with under the screen fp I had. Why do u need dust cap? Mine is like new inside, I wash my phones under the tap from time to time. Keeps the port and speaker grills/mics like new. Good choice getting the X2 btw. I guess you got the B&O headphones too as gift from O².

Thanks for the replies, so I took the original screen protector off, no more ridiculous static dust build up at least, I've redone all my paw prints to see if that improves the FP sensor, immediate results seem to be showing an improvement but I will re-post in a week or so. I've always used a dust cap, just keeps the socket free from dust/detritus and also any cables you plug in free(er) from dust. Whilst I may be able to, personally I have no intention of ever washing it under a tap. There were no special offers from O2 unfortunately but then I wangled a bit off the monthly payment.

So a few weeks on and the FP sensor is no better, resigned to just accepting this phone doesn't have a great FP sensor, despite what others may think. It seems that some phones out there are learning to read a face with a mask but this one doesn't seem to be one of them.
I'll not be washing it under a tap that's for sure, further research into that tells me the phone is designed for waterproof mishaps but not cleaning. Each to their own though.

Question question about ending the speaker of the conversation

hi, i need help could the owners of the silver pixel 7 pro have a look into the slot of the loudspeaker for calls? because normally it will go crazy, do you have the entire filling in black or are there silver gaps as in the picture? I was looking for many videos from disassembling pixels as it should be and I got stupid. I am sending pictures of what I mean, you have to look at the right angle Thanks in advance for your response

Mine is all black, no "gaps".

So I thought that my Pixel is unique and now the question arises in connection with this factory "flower" will this loss of seals, fillings somehow affect the operation of the phone, e.g. water resistance? Report it under warranty?

Mine has the same effect as your speaker grill, but the darker lines are equal distances from the front camera punch out. Too even to be dirt or anything that would accumulate in a random manner. I wouldn't worry about it, personally.
If you're worries about the ip rating maintaining, use this app from time to time to make sure it's still good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.waterresistancetester
I feel like you might have a hard time getting google to replace your phone for that. Might not hurt to at least inquire so you can have it documented that you reached out previously in the unlikely event that it causes issues. Good luck friend!

I fixed this tiny defect in my own way, using a marker that we use at work and a piece of paper, I painted the inside black a bit tedious job because you had to dot by dot at points but finally now it looks like God commanded. Before the procedure, I checked the tightness using the application, thanks a lot, I didn't even know such a thing existed.

I respect the dedication and it looks good! I love that app. I use it to make sure the seals are good from time to time and it gives good peace of mind.

I have no gaps but the sound is ok.
Maybe Google is experimenting with real buyers and one of them appears in the p8p...
