Hello!
I think we should do a communal knowledge base for repairs for the N9.

I'm going to be replacing the front glass, but I don't think it's possible.

I just want to replace the front/outter glass alone. Not the digitiser or LCD.

Is this possible?

I have found a seller for outter glass.

But is it possible?

We need a total repair thread.
Similar to all the N900 repair guides.

I'm also interested in how (if possible) to change only the front glass.

outter glass and digitizer are both the same ¬¬ and yes you can replace only the digitizer but IMHO i dont recommend you to change only that part, save some more money and go for the whole piece

EDIT

sorry i hadnt seen your link and please dont be a fool this part WONT BE USEFUL for you you CANT do anything with that, you MUST buy the whole part

REMEMBER outter glass = digitizer

Thanks for the link to service manual!
I might just end up replacing the whole screen. Maybe this eBay link for top glass might not even work.

In going to replace my outter shell. Black or white.
