Hi,

Just bought a black housing for a Samsung E800. Wondering if anyone has any guides or somthing to help me change them. Shouldnt be too hard but since i've never opened this phone up, i would prefer to know a bit before!!!

Any help would be great, thanks!

Yeah i saw the pictures on the site but the english writing bit doesnt help much! The english words dont make any sense and so i only see the inside bits, i dont know how to get into them or anything!!!

Also i got my black housing via ebay. I'm not sure what kind of quality it will be but once done, il upload a few pics onto you're site!

Anyone have an ENGLISH guide (hehehe)

Cheerz!

Did you have any luck with this? Is ebay the only place you can purchase a housing for the E800? I have a friend who could do with a new housing for his E800 and has asked me to ask you guys.

Thanks for that.

Has anyone actually changed one of these. Is it as difficult as it looks?

Thanks, I'd really appreciate that.

Changing the case on a phone like this is usually considered an engineers job. It will void the warrenty.

Mean while, if I remember right, there's 4 screws under the batters, and numerous clips around the side and top.
Once you get past that, there's a nice an fragile ribbon (breaking this can render the phone useless), and once you disconnect that, you'll have to get through to the LCD/top circuit board.

If you do that successfully, I raise my hat! But then you have to put the 20 odd pieaces back together again, remembering how and where everything went back in.

My suggestion: Find a professional!

(By the way, tools you'll be needing are: T7 TORX key/driver
Time (a lot of it)
Guts (or money to burn, you choose!)
