Need Parts! Battery Interlock Switch and D-Pad Switch

EngrPaul · 01-01-08, 11:57 AM

I have two h2215's that I want to keep working. :cheers:

One of them needs a new battery door interlock switch. The switch stopped working reliably, so I removed it and bypassed the connection so the device would keep working. Only problem is changing the battery causes a hard reset, so I can't change batteries on the fly without plugging into power.

Both have D-Pads that don't work reliably. I'm wondering whether it's even worth replacing the switches: Compared to my X50v and X51v they are infuriating to begin with. I'v always had to disable the "center" button feature when I use a flip case because the flap presses the button when I close it. :realmad:

I use these hp's as music players, or to run older software that don't run on newer devices. I even use them for GPS because of good battery life and to keep my Dell PDA's out of harm's way. :hide:

So my quesion is, does anyone know of a cheap source of these switches? Or am I best off posting "WTB: old h22xx's" and hope the switches are in good shape?

Maybe some of you are in the same situation. Feel free to clutter my thread with your experiences. :)

I have found fix-your-pda store on ebay to be a good source for H2200 series parts (and older models too). You can buy a replacement shell there.

If you can't find what you are looking for I would call him and see if he has anything. Not all items are listed.

Other than that I would buy a non-working pda off of ebay and use it for parts.
