    Replacement Fascia

    Was going to buy a full replacement fascia on ebay as my unit has some wear and tear - ideally I really want to remove the black shiny casing which has the Nokia logo on.

    Is this difficult to remove?

    Saw some dissessembly vids on YouTube and does seem a bit difficult - do I really need to detatch the top part of the phone from the bottom (where the ribbon is) that is what worries me.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Yes, you have to do that. But get the leaked instruction manuals instead of youtube videos. The screwdriver used in that video gives me the creeps.

    Secondly (or the most important actually), get some real tools. Good quality screwdrivers of correct size (or you will ruin your screws) and phone disassembly tools (a couple of guitar picks will also do, but they are usually not sharp enough by default).

    Is it difficult to replace though? Just really worried I will attempt it and both up my phone and then I will be wishing I just left it alone and lived with the scratches and dents!
