What size "Torx" driver do I need?

Anyone know what size the torx screws on the back of the P800 are?...I thought they would have been T6 like nokia but they are a little bigger.

Cheers

Torx 8 is the ones you'll need. You might want to refer to this thread if you're opening up your P800.

Someone posted a nice little faq about opening it up.....

I had a couple of difficulties!

They are 8 for the outer casing and 7 for the PCB shield inside. 😃

Thanks guys, i'm fitting a grey case you see....heard it's not as simple as you'd first think but i'll give it a go 😊

yup, my grey case is all fitted now and it sure looks good..

My main advice is BE CAREFUL OF THE LED ASSEMBLY. Man that thing is so fragile, if you bend it wrong, it'll break, or be too flexible so that when you put it back together it'll be lose and it will vibrate on the speaker. Which isnt' good.

I'm doing mine too soon (grey casing), and I'm scared. 😞

Is it worth me taking it to a service centre and asking them to do it? (I'd ideally like to get the firmware done at the same time - its still on the factory one)... or do you think they'll charge me an arm, a leg and a kidney for doing it?

I was quoted ?40 pound forr the whole of the mineral grey casing and ?10 labour charge.....didnt get it done mind as im adament that I can get it cheaper and confident enough to replace it myself.........firmware update will be free

�50 fitted is actually a very good price, I paid $50us but there was shipping to pay on top so it's not far off.

I fitted it myself dead easy, you can find the torx driver at Halfords.
