Someone in that forum claimed that his N70 works. Somehow I can't change my font in my N70. It turns back to normal font but the file in c:/system/Fonts remains the same.

Anyone tried it with n70 yet?

I wish the site had more phones though...

[Jose_R.A.M]

I probably would never disassemble my phones but the 2nd two are real good.

[carcomptoy]

this is the best I can find for now - regarding the dismantling of an N73. (like if you wanted to change the housing into a black one, for example).


from fidorulz (hofo):
tools:
- 1 T6 screwdriver
- 2 credit cards
- 1 Air in a can to remove dust.
- Small but solid needle to remove some parts.


First, Remove battery, sim and memory card

Remove the front plate by using a credit card. Place the credit card ontop of the c but under the housing in the bottom right hand corner until the housing lifts a bit. Leave that credit card there and with another one go around the housing from the gap you just created thus lifting the plate.

Remove the 6 screws

Remove the screen frame by lifting it off the holders (not the white holes you see in the pic but beside those are smaller holes)

Remove the screen by lifting the cable from the connector

Remove the Memory card door

Now to remove the main board by pressing on the sides a little and from the back. The board "pops" out.

This part here was already installed with the housing I got.

Otherwise if its not it should be included as piece 6 here... and install the whole thing as in the pic below. Then remove the middle part.

1-For these 2 things on the back side of the housing press on them a little bit with something and they will pop out.

2-You will need to get this out by leveraging it out with a small pin or something

3-You can remove this by hand its not glued in.Its a thin plastic cover that goes on top

4-You will need to get this out by leveraging it out with a small pin or something. Its stuck a little underneath so you need to be careful but leverage a bit on all sides little by little

5-Same as number 2 but make sure when putting it back in the new housing the metal parts are centered and to the right as seen here

6-The red thing should be stuck here to block the hole.if it dosent stick (as mine didnt) just put it here anyways and once you put the components back it will stay in place.

Put the items the same way they came out. Use the pic above as a reference as to how the items are suppost to look once entered.

Last tip make sure when re-screwing the phone together to screw it nice and tight. My first attempt wasn't tight enough and as such the slide on the camera wouldn't start the camera app since the contacts where not touching the back housing.
