@spacecowboy you do it to fix the phone when your employer is an asshat and won't replace the phone your dog chewed. And you happen to be a former tech with the tools to fix it yourself.

do you need to unscrew the two screws at the back or can you just rip the bazel off (its broken anyway)

[Rahman7864]

Muchas gracias, felicitaciones...

[MrEJR26]

Guess who has money.

[oomsin1000]

Thank you

[chevyinlinesix]

Thank you very much for posting this. I used it as a guideline for taking apart my 8530. However, I needed to go a step further and remove the speakers because there was metal shavings and such built up in there, making my them pretty much useless. Took me 3.5 hours from taking off my Otterbox case, to getting it all back together and turned on. Sounds brand new now :)

[rhanjaG23]

this shits too complicated, blackberry 9000 ftw:)

[unit2940]

first find a screwdriver that fits !

[Thebigd00d]

How do you fix the navigation pad? Because mine is messing up and randomly moves when it wants and I have to hold it to text? Any ideas?

[guayacan07]

@Thebigd00d:there are many videos on that, look them up

[kevine1995]

Hi, I only want to change the middle plate on my blackberry curve 8520 but i dont want to take out the charger socket, the headphone jack, etc; does this mean i have to buy the middle plate with all the metal and components already inside?

Great video, much appreciated!

[juanma9112]

240p... We meet again.

[LukesCodAndRuneScape]

[babygirl27708]

[TheAckerson96]

[TheErikFasterling]

@TheAckerson96 shit happens

[ElectriicHeartss]

I'm scared to do this to my new Blackberry I'm getting tomorrow.. :L

[kwidjibo1]

this video has actually put me off from buying the product. Seriously, fuck taking my phone apart in layers just to make it look tacky when its never gunna look more than a shitty blackerry anyway

[PabloOaks]

works like a charm to me, my keypad was strange, I opened it, cleaned and now its fully worked. Thanks a lot! :)

[PabloOaks]

[joebmxx]

did this and my screen has sticky stuff all over it so ruined my screen protector.

[looserlucy]

When I tried removing the front cover bit that you did first its all stuck to the LCD screen so I panicked and stuck it back on and now its a right mess. Are some stuck and some not or is mine just weird? ORRR am I doing it wrong?

[MitchHuxley]

1:25 What is that you are unscrewing? I really need to find out what it is called so i can buy one, mine broke :(

[OlivialovesLuke]

You can change the screen and the colour of the keps bydoing the first part of the disassemble :D

[RsRugbyMike]

Mine only has 1 torx screw and the place where the other is supposed to be its just a blue circle?

[MorningGlory1172]

@RsRugbyMike that's a sticker they put on the screw so they know if you've tried to take it apart yourself, just put the screwdriver in it to rip it off, there's a screw under it

[XDNicolaa]

2391fef3 - add it!

[elconcador]

is the screen cover dealio reusable?

[SjRahman]

how would you replace the keypad membrane, is there any connectors which need to be connected or anything or is it just stuck in place?

[fierstein92]

[babbiiangell]

[baldyjeff]

Make sure you actually get your prise toolunder the face plate. I got mine between the face plate and the celophane protective cover and mmessed up the face plate

[grahammiranda13]

The video ends at like 2:45, and I want to know how to you put all this back!

[jiena001]

DON'T DO IT, I DIDN'T MANAGE TO GET MINE IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE. IT'S F*** NOW.

[Linsay61]

Hey I was wondering you know how you took off the first screen . Do you just push it back on??

[PardoKiyo38]

If i wanted to change the color of the keyboard for my curve, would i do what you did in the video?

[blessedbrewster]

im getting a new housing for mine, but im afraid to rip the screen off :(((

[AndreDr18]

Thanks, i'll try and then tell you how it goes! ;)

[AndreDr18]

Hi guys, my >trackpad< got damaged :(. I went to a technician and he said it was a manufacturing problem, will have no fix? thanks

[blackflowerhorn]

It fixed min in 30sec.

[blackflowerhorn]

@AndreDr18

take out your battery and look beneath it for a small metal plate with a white dot on it (this is a screw covered with white tape) use a T-5 screwdriver to tighten this screw a bit (not too tight) this will fix non-functioning trackpads.

[jplatypuss]

The problem I encountered was with the lens cover. the thing is glued on throughout the back surface, so in order to remove it, you have to scratch the hell out of it.

[002baandro]

i will do the same thing when my phone is wrecked!

[SuperPitu2]

why would u do this anyway :s

[vatosking]

@SuperPitu2 if its already f'd and u dont wana buy a new 1...

[summerloving18]

[bramsmit2795]

[diegodmt7]

[yzkivt]

[luckable]

i screwed my original casing! really not tat easy, be careful.

[Danielissocoollike14]

Dropped in the sea :-/ this helped me get the sand out! Thanx! :)

[VotreCauchemar]

I have a question... the main lcd screen seems to be stuck in a metal-like cage so, how can I take it away? I need to do that to make the right choice to buy a brand new one!

[lauren1702]

i replaced the lens on my blackberry but im not sure if i took too much out?? is the lens very thin when you take it off or does it have 2 layers to it?

[logunlad]

whats that thing called you take off at 1:35 ? cheers

[SOF006]

This looks painfully scary, especially the start when hes taking off the screen and its bending and shit, im like omg its gonna snap!

[hollylollylol]

woah.... i was thinking of changing the housing but not anymore buddy...

[Repin5]

Hey guys. Where could I purchase the pry tool? Ebay?

[frankyangel1998]

[video00111]

@VotreCauchemar it was my first time and it was very easy for me..

i just followed this video

[blancomax]

i fucked mine to don't do it

[transitfusion]

This video is to help you change faceplates,LCD,trackpad,keyboa­rd and other parts yourself without the need for professional help. If you feel you are able to perform these tasks then take them upon yourself with pride, if you can't then find someone who can.

[nurichaco]

gracias por tu video!!!!!!!! tambien tengo video de mantenimientos. saludos!!

[LiiveLaughLucyy]

It hurts me to watch this.. D:

[itsbrad2008]

@LiiveLaughLucyy Ik D:

Epecialy because of the fact im geting it for Christmas

ITS LIKE WATCHING A PIG GET SLAUGHTERD

[LiiveLaughLucyy]

@itsbrad2008 *A BABY PIG D:

[yzkivt]

@LiiveLaughLucyy i somewhat slughtered a baby pig :S

it was in biology class, they made us do it!

[LiiveLaughLucyy]

@yzkivt YOU HORRIBLE PERSON.

Nahh, I'm just kidding :P

At my school, we slaughter worms, but I think that I have a dissect a kitten for my senior year *Cries*

[yzkivt]

@LiiveLaughLucyy jajajaja thanks? xD

na

well, if i say everything we opened in class (i'm studying biology at the university), it's been 2 baby pigs, a baby shark, fish, lamprea (sorry, forgot how to say it in english), an adult cat, a grasshopper, a pigeon, and we did slaughter some drosophilas and drosophila larvae (we cut their heads off, their "bellies", and we killed the larvae by tearing them apart xDD

and there are more animals that i don't really remember their names jajaja

[LiiveLaughLucyy]

@yzkivt OMG xD

If I went to that university, I'd probably drop out or something, I'm wayy to sensitive for all that stuff, and I have a phobia of insects, so Larvae = NO :P

Even if they were already dead, I'd probably feel them crawling into my skin and slowly murdering me xD

[yzkivt]

@LiiveLaughLucyy well, it's biology, gotta do it if i wanna be a doctor xD

i have a phobia for insects too, but w/e, i need to do it :/

and i'm mostly the one who slaughters everything xD

[confoundb4]

I felt horrible watching this. I couldnt do it to mine, even though I know what I am doing, it just hurts to see my phone being taken apart like that....

[haskam01]

all the idiots saying why would u do this to a phone. its for people who want to change the faceplate of their phones or other accessories

[MrNiels202002]

YOU DOSNT HAVE HOBBIES!!!!

[modicim]

[aberrios09]

Man dude great video, now I can change the housing on my phone!!!! Thanks bro

[spawnabhi]

fuckin retard...why wld u wanna post a video for killing the machine...

[DAVIDRUIZ09]

What if there is dust underneath the screen?

[nzayour07]

Why would you do that to a perfectly good phone!?

[guysumo]

my god, what a bunch of retards some of you commenters are... You clearly wouldn't do this unless you needed to replace the screen or trackpad etc. and knew what you were doing. Very helpful video.

[Blackenedbarman]

;-(

[SuperCoonie]

why would one do like that, just drop into the river or something, or run over it, looks kind of real surgery.

[SuperCoonie]

why would one do like that, just drop into the river or something, or run over it, looks kind of real surgery............save the BB

[jamaicanbadboy1]

y dah fuk would u do datt?? RE-TARR-DEDDD!!

[Koko0771]

Seriously.. Don't try this if you're not confident about it and you've never done it before... There's a 99% chnce it will go wrong. Mine did. ='(

[swagger93]

heat the phone before you peel anything adhesive

[IchLiebenBill]

THE HORROR!!

[jojasweety]

where can i buy that gummy part which is on the sides and on the back...he is removing it at 1:55 to 2:00...my dog ate it a bit and i want to change it..:(

[graydonm4]

where do you get the pry tool?

[SuperLoaders]

that's hurt me idiot

[liamthetwitch]

if the case is infact held on with sticky tape ( which is normaly what phone manufactures ues ) or any type of adhesive, please and i mean seriously do not try and just pull the part off with your pry opener tool, make sure u use a hair dryer and run it over the part u need to change on the phone for about 15 seconds, moving up and down reguarly, so it doesnt melt etc or fry the motherboard etc... then once u have done this, immedietly pull the part off, this has heated up the glue and WHALAA

[liamthetwitch]

2nd comment -

right, i recently had the bb 8900 phone and i found this phone to be the simplist phone EVER to dissasemble, change parts and re-assemble...

i am currently changing parts on iphones for girlfriend and myself. avoid this as they are really really complecated.

ANYWAYS to the point. i am going to change my friends new 8520 housing in a weeks time, im unsure wheather or not the casing is held in with sticky tape as usual, but if it is then carry on reading for advice...

[liamthetwitch]

PLEASE READ THIS.

for everyone that is thinking of changing there housing please read the following.

i have recently had an interest in gadgets/mobile phones etc, and decided to refurbish my girlfriends old bb 8310, what a mistake i made, the older phones are very complicated and take a lot of care to change/replace housings, or anything at all. try and avoid this... please continue to read my other comment

[darkxmasterfool]

Now how do you REASSEMBLE everything? O_O
