Sony Ericsson S710a
Anyone know a Pro who can install new housing on s700i
I ahve an S700I and i would I tried to change the face on the phone and it did not work out at all. I have a new Case and i wanted to know if anyone can recommend a website where they would be able to INSTALL this new housing.

I changed mine over myself. Took about an hour. Just make sure you remove all the parts from each original piece of the housing--there are some small ones you may miss if not careful.
Make sure you identify the connectors and where they go when you remove them (the wires that connect the two sections of the phone). They look the same and you could reconnect them wrong. Mine had blue dots on the ones on the "right" so I didn't mess up.
Finally, be careful not to loose the small spring that works the camera lens cover. You'll see it when you take it apart.
All you need is a small philips screwdriver, a small flat head (to pry off the glued on pieces), and some patience 🙂
