Black fascia / Casing - anyone done it yet?

[TopCat]

Huey85,

You could always try putting back in your Original Keypad just to check that it is indeed the keypad thats knackered?
I didn't pry mine out like they show in the video? (seems a stupid way to remove the keypad) I took off the top/front cover and then took off the internal slider unit. Much easier and safer. The Keypad just falls out.

A thing on the videos that for the life of me I cant figure out WHY they did it? During the Disassembly - after removing the Back Cover they show you that its now EASY to remove the SD-Card Door. Ok that looked easy enough, but then the guy disguards the Back Cover and SD-Card Door until he reassembles the phone. He then reattaches the SD-Card Door?

WHY! did he remove the door in the first place???

Mate, its not the S60 keypad that's knackered, its the Multimedia Keypad (the Music Keys).

Sorry m8,
Seem to have a one track mind since I tried to pry my S60 Keypad off.

Yea my gps stopped working without that antenna and worked when i replaced it with the oem so i can confirm it has something to do with gps

Hockey87,

That cover your thinking of buying is from the same seller as I bought mine (shoujiwang384) you shouldn't need anything else.

NOTE.. Parts (B) & (C) are not a simple job to replace

My kit didn't come with (C) in the pictures on your link.

A couple of things I suggest is you download the Service manual....

Service Manual courstey to Spook.

and the Youtube videos....

YouTube - Nokia N95 Upper Block Disassembly Assembly
YouTube - Nokia N95 Lower Block PART 1 - Disassembly
YouTube - Nokia N95 Lower Block PART 2 - Assembly
courstey of huey85

...have a read/look through them.

Also its good to have a clear clean area to work on. I done mine over a large serving tray, that way anything that drops/falls out landed in the tray and wasn't lost on the carpet.

Well, I got my parts today and was just about set to go for it when I noticed that the camera cover shutter was not functioning properly, -not opening/closing with the little slider-.

Pretty gutted really, but I've waited this long so I'll get the seller to send me another, -from the other side of the world-, rather than me forking out on a replacement.

I've already bought 2 diff sets of covers and BOTH sets came with a camera cover shutter, both of which only worked once first time in testing. I just left the old shutter in.

here's a link to a post with some photos of my modded up N95 with the Black Housing - as you can see I kinda reverted back to some of the OEM bits to make it look a little more flashy - I did however keep the black slider module but reverted back to the OEM silver part that holds the multimedia keys and shows at the top of the numeric keys
