    Im looking into rebuilding my now spare torch. Has anyone here removed or installed the speaker on this thing. I've looked at every video I can find and no one touches the thing. I believe its pretty important but I have no idea how it works. Does it just go into the housing. I dont see any obvious connectors for it. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

    The speakers is held in the front slider with pressure. There are spring contacts. Everything goes through that ribbon cable. It's a lot of work to get to that speaker. Why are you replacing it? Broken?

    No I made a custom skunk berry (white screen black trim) by combining two torches together. That ordeal was chronicled here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f209/cu...-torch-603386/
    I want to rebuild the spare torch to stock black and was going to buy a digitizer/lcd/ear piece since I already have the whole housing.

    It can be done but it never seems to go back together the same. I was even able to remove the lcd without breaking it. The adhesive that holds the cover for the bottom 4 bottoms needs to be replaced. Its kinda like weather stripping. I managed to cut some thin strips of double sided tape but its not as good. Try taking it apart first and see what breaks

    I bought a complete front on ebay for around 90$. Now have the other one as a backup.

    Yeah I know what you mean. That's why Im getting a new lcd, because I hear most people ruin it in the process.

    The custom job didnt need to take off the LCDs, but this next project will.

    Every single teardown doesnt touch the ear piece. Even the assembly videos start with it already on. A little frustrating to say the least.

    See my thread below. Gets into the guts of the front screen assembly and its components.
