Case Swap K750i/W800i

I have compiled this ‘How-To’ only after having done the mod myself. Thisway, I feel, I’m in a better position to describe and now help others if questions arise.My thanks must go to gbrooks3 of www.se-nse.comand towww.52sony.com. For the images that have been used here (with some alterations). Enjoy!OK, heads up! The following ‘How-To’ is simply my way of modding myphone! I write this as a guide to others who may wish to try out this mod. Iam no way responsible for your inability to carry this out without trashingyour phone. My phone is 100% in fine working order after this mod – if yoursisn’t .. well you broke it – not me!READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN. MAKESURE THAT YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS – DON’T CUT CORNERSHERE! ENSURE THAT YOU ARE IN AN APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENT TO DOTHIS WITHOUT BEING DISTURBED OR LOSING ANY PARTS!

ENVIRONMENT:Clean and clearWell illuminatedTOOLS:1 x Precision Screwdriver Set (Philips & Flat)1 x Penknife or other flat-bladed instrument1 x Anti-Static Wrist Strap** so as to not short out the PCB or any of the components, I’d strongly suggest one of these.

Remove the battery cover, the battery and the sim card from your phone. Unscrew the 2 xPhilips and the 2 x T6 torx screws you see. Use the pen knife to skim around the edges of the back cover, whilst gently twisting the blade to prise and release the clips.

Once the front cover is off, this is what you’ll see. Lift off the numbered pad.Next, to remove the keypad plate and black plastic backing, gently lift it up like you’reopening the lid to a chest. You’ll see the PCB connector clearly now, so using a small flatscrewdriver, unplug it and lift the assembly free.
