Exclamation How to change 8520 middle frame/housing insides?

Hello, I have a blackberry 8520 that is in pieces! However it all works so I have decided to repair it. I have not got the buttons on the top of the device because thwey fell off. So I have bought a new frame for the rubber section that I will replace. However I bought the one that does not contain all the internal bits like my old one.

I am just wondering if anyone could give me instructions on how I would change all of the parts from the old rubber frame into my new one.

Thanks

Smile 8520 Youtube Teardown video

Hey there

I did the same thing to my 9300 curve and it's not too hard but it's very tough to pop the bottom trim piece off that covers the first 2 screws you remove from the face of the phone. Make sure you have a replacement part handy because you most likely WILL need to put a new unit on due to broken tabs.

Have fun with the like new 8520!

Default Do you not understand?

Do yoU not understand? How do I move the old parts from my old chassis into my new chassis, I don't want to buy a new one, if I wanted a link I would have looked myself! The white for the 8520 is horrible anyway!
