Need Help With Facia, Badly.

5 replies · 2,151 views · Started 15 October 2004

Hi, I have got a new facia for my 6600, and don't know how to fit it.

I know youre supposed to press through the holes at the back, but it won't work!!!

Has anybody got any tips/ tools to use, im desperate.

And ive already asked carphonewarehouse, and they say ive voided my warranty but making cosmetic damage, so will charge �30 for it, which im not payin.

Also the new case comes with the other half of the ring aroundthe camera, how do i get that out????

Many Thanks In Advance,

Al

I was wondering about this problem too - I've not been brave enough to buy a cover until i find an answer

I think there are peope on ebay selling tool kits and instructions combined - about �4 might be worth a look! just search for 6600 tool or something like that

I removed and replaced my fascia using a broad, flat bladed instrument to gently prise the front off. The broader the better, as there is less risk of damaging the casing.

i brought a faceplate for my 6600 the other day off EBAY and it cost about a �5 it looks like an offical one (NOKIA NAME) but it was from japan/Hong Kong, they sent it within a week, and get this they sent a complementry Tool for takin the covers of easily, A Bacck replacement Cover and a lens disc thing for the back.

I used to use a flick knife well kinda and once i cut the strip under the keypad resulting in no buttons working :banghead:. So be very careful take your time, if it takes you all day to do it then it will be quicker than earning the money to buy another :hmmmm:.

This Is the Shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Sandymates-Shop You may not be so luck but up to you
