Nextel i730 Housing Instructions Please allow time for all pictures to be displayed. If they are not all displayed, please refresh your brower. We hope that this is helpful! Please take your time on your first housing change. We are not responsible for any misuse of these instructions or claim any responsibility for any damage to your phone.
Unscrew the antenna Then remove the metal tube from the back housing. This can be done by pushing the tube up a little bit. Most of the time you can do it with your hand, otherwise a needle nose pliers work great. Then take a small screwdriver and push the tube out and up. It should come unhooked and then you can gently remove it.
We recommend that you don't follow the next step and leave the two boards attached. Simply pull the boards out of the housing a little bit. With a small flat head screwdriver push the sides of the ribbon a little bit. The ribbon is what connects the phone to the flip on top of the phone. You might have to push the boards apart a little bit, but it is easier than detaching the two boards.
After you disconnect the main board, you need to unscrew this small screw right by the ribbon. This is a T4 screw in every phone we've done.
Heat is not necessary to remove the panel, but recommended. We use a small hair dryer. Sorry for the misspelling, but these were not our original pics.
The Spring hinge will need to be removed before the next step.
Most of our housings come with a clear LCD holder. You can use the factory LCD holder if you prefer. This will make it easier since the ribbon is fragile. The clear LCD holder will allow you to see inside of your phone more with a transparent housing. If you do decide to use the clear LCD holder, please remove the ribbon very gently. If your phone doesn't work after installation, most of the time it is because of the ribbon. We stock every part for this phone. |
