well, i don't have a haiku for this, but don't forget the official nokia care teardown guide for the n810!

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=15751

i've used this guide to teardown and make the slider more stiff after losening over time.
the only tools i used were a small jewlers phillips screwdriver and a plastic type wedge/pry tool from and ipod repair kit.

be brave! it's not that bad. the only thing to worry about are the flex connectors.

good luck!

Precisely: the docs I have (far more complete & detailed... use google ;-) explicitly state that the flex assembly (and screws too, go figure) should be discarded if removed. I am understandably a bit cautious.

Lol, I actually envisioned a Nokia factory worker going out late at night to fell the birch trees and make the stylus :-)

No no, they're fruit. When they ripen you pluck them.

Okay, here's what I can bring if anyone has uses...

-a few malfunctioning 770s
-a few 770 slide-on covers
-a couple of N800 faceplates (yeah I found more!)
-some odds and ends for various phones
-an old model working phone or two
-some broken phones
-a refurbished 770 with accessories in box

I can provide details later, but odds are I'll bring what makes sense. We could keep the stuff at the maemo.org booth.

I'm sure there may be some demand for the covers, faceplates, and even the 770 refurb. So I'm open to ideas on how to make distributing them fair and fun.

Sounds like a good place for a "post your sob story" thread and have the community vote on it. Or as we saw the wall of notecards with comments at Nokia World, have people jot down their 770's ailment or similar need and have other attendees vote. (get a mic and a decibel meter just for kicks, unless some skilled dev works out the N900-as-wireless-mic code in time)

Or simply draw names from a maemo.org hat.

Curiosity not only killed the cat but for all practical purposes my N810 too: if anything, my attempt to open it up and re-seat the cable has only made the problem worse. Plus the screws are... need I say? Screwed.

EDIT: fast-forward a few days, the touchscreen is not responding anymore. Guess I have to come up with a creative use for a dead N810.
