I have just realised that i have a broken bit on the top of my phone but i dont know which part i need to order to replace it and where to get it from. I didnt want to take it apart to find out incase it got worse. I have attached some photos so hopefully some one can point me in the right direction.

Thanks All😊

It looks like the part you need is the back housing. Unless it's attached differently than the original N95 it is very easy to replace. Be careful on ebay as non genuine housing parts scratch and wear quickly in my experience. If you don't mind and want a cheap aftermarket one dealextreme.com has them for €3.

You need the part on the left in the above photo. Obviously the black 8GB variant though.

Try these places, but failing that, there's always ebay...

Right found one on ebay can someone just confirm this is the correct part?

Also how easy a job is this? Do i need to do any soldering or is just a take apart and replace the broken bit job?

Thanks
