I have 2 N900's (long story - one was blacklisted). The non-blacklisted one has a few scratches on the border of the screen, the blacklisted one is flawless. Would it be easily possible to take the screen section (including border of course) from one to the other? There are 2 screws on the back of the screen section as it flips out, perhaps undoing those would remove it? I'd rather not risk it until someone with experience has told me.

Thanks a lot guys!

That has nothing to do with it, but if you must know, I bought it on eBay and the person who sold it to me reported it as stolen, so its been blacklisted in the UK...

Either way, can I transfer the screen section from one to the other? Anyone know how?

There are instructions online for disassembly. Google it. I disassembled mine according to the instructions, and put it back together. You could swap out the screen/slider part pretty easy. Only warning: there are short screws and long screws. Take notes during disassembly so you get the right length screws back in the right place.

Why don't you speak to the authorities and tell them the truth?

BTW, there is a nice disassembly video.

take much care about 64 pin connector. if you pull it form kapton cable ( orange flex cable ) you can break the solder joints and flex cable itself. also take care about devices around connector on main board. those chips don't have case those silicon chips ( shiny ) are direct soldered on the board and can easily brake. don't touch them.

I spoke to Vodafone (who blacklisted it), they don't give a damn Got my money back though so I am not too bothered. May sell it in America as its only blacklisted here (still trying to find out if that is legal.)

Well, if Vodafone doesn't care, maybe you should contact consumer protection or something like that.

However if you got your money back, you may as wel throw it out of the window... :P

Do you mean "the person who sold it to you reported it as stolen" or "the person who sold it to you sold a stolen phone"? Big BIG difference between the two.

I mean the person who sold it to me reported it as stolen, as it was working fine when I got it, for about a month. Well, that's my assumption at least. I can't be sure.
