Well hoping someone will just point me in the right direction or give a miraculous cure to my prob.

Debranded orange desire that worked about as well as they do, wifi decided to stop working the other day(quite awhile after I updated to froyo) so I tried all the suggestions of factory reset, reinstall the ruu with goldacard etc, nothing worked, also then noticed the light and proximity sensors didnt work, ie screnn brightness didnt change and more importantly the screen didnt black out when making or receiving a call.

Read up on that which suggested vacuum,blow into corner of phone, didnt work. So, with my warranty screwed because of debranding I decided to take it to bits with a little help from the HTC vid on you tube.

What did I find, well, a missing screw(you have to remove 2 silver philips screws to release main pcb thing, one of those wasnt there!), a disconnected gps cable, the gps did work but the cable joint is a tightish fit and it wasnt in place, loads of dust, dirt and crap everywhere, especially over the sensors. Cleaned it all out with some cotton buds, all back together and nothing, well not nothing, it worked but just as poorly as before.

So, I'm just looking for a fe ideas on what I could do to maybe sort it out, wifi and proximity/light sensors dont work. I was thinkg about either trying to re brand it if at all possible or root,but, and I know there are loads of threads/posts on this but I need a muppets guide to how to do this in its most basic form.

Please any help mucho appreciated.
 
you should have tried sending it back before taking it apart
if its a hardware error then htc would have probably replaced it if you had contacted them directly.

now you dont have a chance as you took it apart
 
Not much you can do after taking it apart. HTC will sometimes honour warranty claims for hardware defects even if the phone software has been changed.
 
Tbh all I had read was that debranding invalidates your warranty so I thought I was done for.

Does anyone sell thaose two little round stickers that say void? :D
