Re: Whitestone Android It Booted!!!

OK! So I got tired of having my Imagio sitting around with bad keys... and since it's no longer under warranty, guess what I did? I FIXED IT!

Yes, they keys are not that hard to fix after all. Here is what I did:

Opened the phone, unplugged the keys cable, the LCD cable and the digitizer cable. After taking 2 rubber strips which seemed to have a white dual sided tape I revealed the 2 ultra small phillips screws. I took them off and pushed the screws after I loosen them to snap out they keys on the front. I then realized the reason why the keys were bad and didnt work.

They have the metal "clipping" piece and on top of that what seemed to be a round transparent rubber piece that had shifted to the side and other positions other than the center. I was like "WOW, are you kidding me?" So what did I do?

I centered all 5 round rubbery thingies, on the keys I applied a very small amount of crazy glue and placed it back and screwed the two ultra small phillips screws back in place. I connedted all 3 cables back and closed the phone.

The phone now 100% works, clicks, buttons function and I have a feeling this will never ever happen again, since I superglued them where they should be.

I am subscribing to this tread and I will try to help as much as I can. This phone is nice (WITH WORKING KEYS) after all... Or I can sell it to a Verizon, MetroPCS or Cricket customer.... LOL
