D.I.Y - Changing the housing & front body of Nokia E71

[Zubair530]

You got to have STEEL balls for that...
I will never do such a thing with my phone.... unless or until it is a 20years old...

Nicely done...
great acomplishment...
the most important... it turned back on...

I treat my phones the same was as "Laadli" .. However, my very old E71 has couple of problems ..

The left top soft button is giving some problem ... I think some dust has gone into the contacts .. and the other issue is that the main 5-way button in the middle has developed some wear and tear marks on the edge of the chrome rim

Here are some photos

My phone appears golden in photos, but it is actually grey ..

I am a little concerned about action of left top button .. does it need cleaning?

The 5-way button issue is a trivial matter .. my son is anxiously waiting for hand-me-down

what i have previously learned(by observing few pictures posted by istafa111) that he can fly and now learned from this thread is that He has 3 hands

This is one of the best DIYs present on this website. Amazing job to keep the step by step process with photographs. Thumbs up!

On a lighter note, if you need a sticky note to remind you about Finals, you got some issues.

lol
sim card is of different country
and in picture where he is cleaning the phone with a brush is not possible with 2 hands.
i was suspecious at the cimcard part but didnt said any thing otherwise i would love to digitally josh people.

[istafa111]

really well done but i suggest that you use isoporyl alcohol or alcohol prep pads for cleaning the circuitry

Bhai, is ko Cantonese mai translate kar k batao k kya kehtay hain.
Kitni cheezain mai nahi lay pata k yahan logoun ko samajh nahi aati mai kya keh raha hn. Bari mehnat se is banday ko samjhaya tha.

how much this casing cost you, it looks like a genuine one.

It was for 150 HKD. He was asking 100 HKD extra for installation. I am not sure whether it is genuine or not, but the quality is very good. I may have found cheaper in Pakistan, par ab itna intezar kon karay.

Hahaha... I just used steel screw drivers. Btw, there were many things which didn't turn on after I tried my experties. Thanks for liking. And yes, Allah ka shukar hai chal para.

nicely done, every step was explained in detail. very helpful.

Thanks for the appreciation brother.

You don't like what appears on the left of the phone .. Do you?

Hahaha... I do like them now because its gonna be for the last time now. Shukar hai!

Thanks brother.

BTW I love the posters in the background.

My favorite cars have always been on my desktop.

Sattar bhai, now you have the manual. You can now spend one Sunday on your phone instead of Laadli.

It might start working fine after cleaning. But you wont know until you try.

Thank you 2c bhai.

Hahaha... Nahi bhai. Neither can I fly, nor do I have two hands.

This old small tripod came handy today.

I took most of the pictures in this angle. Baqi, timer zindabaad!

nicely done

Thank you bhai!
