So i got my new Front bezel faceplate and trackball from Truesupplier today. this was my first time taking apart the tour and i finished the entire install in less than 20min. here are a few pics of the result.
Trackball and Front bezel faceplate
P.S. the new track ball is amazing i didn't realize how bad the old one was till I used the new one.






this is after removing the top buttons from the old faceplate and putting it on the new one

great lookin tour... i like it.

Very different..

is this easy to do? will i still be able to use my replacement warranty if i do this? the first appeal of being able to do this is having control over the performance-losing trackball, which i can replace whenever i want.

Nice work. I wish I was as brave as you (to try disassembling my Tour).

Where did you get the key board and or what did you do to it?

it was so simple and like you see in tehman's pic above you dont have to remove the screen like a lot of the videos tell you. and no you wont be able to use your warranty unless you change it back and have a friend at VZW, so dont loose your old parts and go make some friends.

[tripp0090]

i used this one but there are a few videos on youtube.
http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/bl...eakdown-279255 the videos usually tell you to take more parts off but you dont need to. i didnt take any ribbons off.

will they know that changed anything if you put it back the way it was? and the warranty i'm talking about is that $50 replacement warranty that they always have. for $50 verizon will replace your phone. send it to you in the mail via next day and you send the old one back in the included box.

[tripp0090]

Well. You have to remove that little white water paper dot

ah so removing that will make it so that i'm not entitled to that $50 exchange warranty they have?
