Need to replace n85 faceplate

6 replies · 5,270 views · Started 09 May 2009

My N85 has become very scratched, decided I need to start a fresh, get a new face place and slap a good quality screen protector on it immediately after fitting!!!

The only thing is, I have been browsing the internet and the only vendors are ones I have never heard of, I don't know whether to trust them, I'm also not much of an ebayer

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a reputable company that has one in stock (preferably based in UK)

I really need some help, it would be very much appriciated

thank you

there are quite a few decent ones on ebay, there are also a few that offer replacement sliders which I used to replace mine and it was top notch for about 15 bucks US and it was just as easy to do as the big sticky topic of wobbly slider fix here's a few linkshttp://cnn.cn/shop/nokia-sliding-mechanism-p-3830.html

Hi
I got one from http://www.accessorylink.co.uk/product.asp?ProdID=35128&CtgID=33064 it was delivered next day.
just noticed its currently out of stock, would reccomend them though give them a call to see when its back in stock.

I too need one of these! thanks for this, didnt know they existed 😊

Any idea how to remove the old one though? ive taken the 4 screws out and it wont budge

The cover is just glued on.

Does anyone know if the slider mechanism (and assembly) is similar to the
N95?

Also the OLED is it sensitive to touch when you finally get the cover off?

Many thanks
