Hi All.

Does anyone have any idea as to how i can remove the covers of the nokia n80, a tutorial would be ideal if there is one available. Thank you so much

well as far as i know you can get a replacement cover, as i pointed out in an earlier post.
But they don't mention how to take it appart, and i'm not about to try taking it appart any time soon 🙄 Maybe in a year (or two) from now.

My cover came this morning and i was very easy to take off and put on.

Ive taken some photos to show you how its done.

1. Remove the two screws at the back.

2. Put a flat headed screwdriver down the side of the phone and prize apart.

3. As you can see the side has lifted.

4. Do the same on the otherside and the case will release.

5. Put of you new case and snap into place and put the screws in.

Thanks

Stu

:icon14: Thanks for the reply.Does the screwdriver come with the cover?

Is the cover decent material/durable?As i have bought unofficial nokia covers before from Ebay and they have been rubbish:frown:

No you need to get the special screw drivers seperatly. I dont no where cuz there my mates

Cool.Did you mange to get a black key pad anywhere for the front of your fone?
As i think the silver keys will ruin the look of the black cover i bought!

I'm so mad that I bring my N80 to the dealer for changing the front cover. They do leave there finger print right inside of the cover god with those guys....

Does this void my warranty??
i mean screws will be defenetly marked this way..
And here in Syria we have very cheep chinese made (though exactly like original) covers and defenetly not nokia original..
does that void my warranty??

its very important U know.. to keep the warrenty ok, just in case..

Thanks for your instructions on changing the facia blkcliostu. Done mine yesterday and the slide works better then before.

As for the special screwdrivers... you need a TX06 you can buy them from maplin (UK) I got the twin wrench driver set and it cost �3.49 and the code is N73BD. It comes with 10 other attachments. It's a handy set for �3.49.
