Cn you convert a 9100 to a 9105 and vice versa?

I was totally new to this but I managed to do it so don't worry, it'll be fine
By the way, I have tried to record something for you but I've found a big problem :

-Last time I opened my blackberry I've destroyed the screws so now, I'm unable to open it and it will be like that forever
So, be very careful with this...

dont worry, this is where what i do comes in handy i have a whole set of precision screwdrivers i take phones apart day and night so that will help me loads, but just to clarify , as long as im running OS 6 i wont need to do anything fancy with the software on the 9105/0 hybrid

boooooooooo

I broke my screen backlight trying to adjust the two little hooks (part of the screen) attached to the membrane!!! How do you put them in place it's impossible!

Anyway do NOT try to bend them as this will result in a broken screen:-(

Otherwise yes it works, OS6, keypad and membrane

Now i need to fix the screen

Just to share with you all my experience:

* I bought a 9105 with OS 6 already installed,
* I made an order to cnn.cn for these two objects:

BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 OEM keypad PCB - - Cellular Accessories | Mobile Accessories | Cell Phone
BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 OEM Black keyboard - - Cellular Accessories | Mobile Accessories | Cell

* my package arrived in 4 business days (I payed for an EMS speed post to avoid to be stuck in the Christmas workload)
* I replaced (with the help of a friend of mine, to be honest) the old keyboard and keypad PCB with the new ones

and...that's all ! Everything is working well

I must mention the good quality of the products I received from cnn and the superb client support; just an example: during the order procedure I forgot to mention a discount code that would have given me a 20% discount; I wrote them the day after the order and they gave me a refund on my credit card.

glad it worked for you... i busted two capacitators in the process and it broke my screen :-( be very careful people
