How to fix stylus slot problem with HTC Universal (Qtek 9000)

Main problem: the stylus slot is becoming not tighten enough to retain the stylus, and it slipped out by itself, here I have a solution.

What you need:

Now, first you need to disassemble the back cover:

Second step is to locate the problem – the stlyus is holding by this little piece, but after some time of using it becomes weak.

Here we have to use a super glue and toothpick:

And the final step – pieace of paper, just put it over the glue like this:

Hi !
My stylus has the problem and I would have been happy to offer you a beer but I had some problems in following this guide.
Firstly I had removed the four screws on the back of the phone but the cover remained sticked to the phone. I went round in circles for one hour until I found the service manual (you should maybe put a link to the manual directly in this tutorial)
Finally, the little piece which holds the stylus is broken on my Universal, and neither plastic glue nor super glue will be able to fix it once and for all. 🙁
Anyway, I’ll try to find a trick to block the stylus by another way.
If I succed and if you are interested, I’ll give you the method 😉
