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

[istafa111]

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.

Thank you for the compliments.

lol. I actually don't need sticky notes to remind me about the Finals. They are here since day one. Actually they remind me of freedom. It works like a dynamo for me.

25th Last Exam, 30th Submission, then Pakistan!

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.

Hahaha... Yes the SIM card belongs to IMC service provider based in Hong Kong.

Btw, what do you think about these SIM cards.

[istafa111]

Thanks for the appreciation brothers.

Maine choti se chori aur bari se bari cheez ka operation kiya hua hai. Shayad meri training hi aisi hui hai.

Once, my mother's shoe got broken and she had to wear it urgently so she asked me to see it. I said "Mai mochi hon kya? Joota kaisay sahi karun..." And she replied, "haan te tenu Engineer kais aastay banaya hai..."

fake ones

fake ones

From where do we get fake SIMs? They all are original. One is still unused.

and so you remember all the numbers you have used?

Hahaha... No I just remember the one which I am using.
Actually these are kind of disposable SIMs for me. Here in HK, we can get calling cards or these SIMs. 3 for 100 HKD. Every SIM has 90 minutes talk time if I call from HK to any number in Pakistan. You can get them recharged, but I don't know from where and how. :S

So I just buy them so that I make calls to Pakistan and then instead of throwing, I just keep them.

This is one of the most detailed DIY available in PW and a clean one :P.
Istafa bro you did a great job. You explained everything in detail. I never change housings myself (as a matter of fact I'd love to) but who wants to ruin things when it can be done in 100RS Well done bro. Keep it up

Ammi Jaan's comment is worth a "million dollars" if not more

My father-in-law was a mechanical engineer but could never figure out how to change the tyre of the car ...

Thanks for the appreciation brothers.

all the punjabi moms are same
and besides pointing out mistakes they love to slap freely when ever they like to there kids.

Don't let the interior minister know about this ...

According to latest instructions of yesterday, it wont be possible for users to buy SIMs from shops or franchises. The SIMs will be sent to addresses of the users after verification of their antecedents from NADRA

HK still has traditional Chinese .. so the translation is 等丙醇

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.

[askhokhar]

I can try doing that .. just don't tell Laadli about it

Even after so many years, my E71 is still factory sealed. I just wanted to know if it would be possible to rectify the issue of left top button about having to press it hard by cleaning. If it is possible, I am ready to invest in a set of screw drivers.

Your expert comments please

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

[askhokhar]

Okay .. that is good economics .. but what if someone wants to call you from Pakistan? If you have a "stable and ongoing" number, then kindly PM me... thank you

bro isoporyl alcohol is a chemical used by computer shops to clean electronics. it evaporates fast without leaving any residue, nor does it conduct electricity. this allows thorough and safe cleaning. it is difficult to find it in liquid form but medical stores keep cotton pads which are soaked in this chemical. they are called alcohol prep pads, they are ideal for this use. i even used them to clean my dsl modem. the pic shows the pad on the left

Hmmm... What do you think was in the picture :rolleyes:

Thanks brother. Aur haan, things get done easily par khud kar k jo feeling aati hai (agar kaam sahi ho jai to) woh kissi se kara k nahi aati.
