Wow!!!! Finally Changed My Housing On My N73!!!!!!!!!!

[rutoughenough2002]

Thanks for sharing the results. I combined the instructions made by digisnacks and elcapitan into one for those who want it in one place. Great work by these two!

you forgot the last step btw.

So do these pop out? Anyone?

my housing changing experience says just take a flathead screw driver and lightly pry them out.. they should be held with some stickier tape at most

Yeah cheers guys, did any of you use anto static gloves or any other pre-caution when housing changing and coming in contact with the main board etc? I have heard stories of people fudging there phones when not wearing anti static gloves?

I just pulled mine out with my hands.

You could ground yourself just to be safe, but it probably wont' make much difference, the board is pretty seperate, it's easy to avoid touching delicate parts while handling it. I've taken apart and rebuilt a lot of electronics and it's never been a problem.

Ive never grounded myself and ive changed parts many times with no problems.If you want to be extra safe it cant hurt
