Cracking Open the HTC Trinity (D810)

Posted by brad on August 6th, 2007

So two weeks ago I decided I’d had enough of the dodgy answer button on the trinity, so I decided I’d send it off for warranty repair. I know it was two weeks ago because I’m very aware it took two weeks for them to repair it.

It arrived back on Thursday afternoon. I got it all setup again, all setup that is as a mobile email device because it sure as hell wasn’t a mobile phone. A phone is used to converse, not something possible with my newly mute phone. The loudspeaker was fine, but the earpiece for phone calls was busted.

Facing another two weeks without the phone wasn’t going to work, so I decided I liked the idea that maybe they just hadn’t connected something back up and I really should pull it apart myself.First off with the case, I needed a mid-small torx for five screws, the fifth is obscured here in this pic by the stylus head which I hadn’t yet removed from the case.

Next the top of the case has three tab snaplocks to be pried open gently, then another two on each side of the case before popping the back enclosure over the usb jack on the bottom and off the device.

Rid of the mid plate the next step is to remove the three very small philips heads, the last is a tiny black one at the bottom end of the case. Once this is complete the board is apart from the screen. And there in the clear is the repair job screw up, the ear piece speaker has been placed in upside down. Phone is all back in working order and no two week trip to the repair shop!
