Hi. I was just wondering if you had a plastic cover on the very top of your motherboard before you can of the screen there's this plastic cover that covers the whole top half of the screen were the t5 screws go into.

Do you know if this is important at all? it seems to be working

I was on the beach and I entered to the water with mine (yeah that was quite stupid) and now it won't turn on! I dismantled it and all the metal parts have oxide. What can I do?? it won't turn on! I tryed several batteries!

[LeBronForTheWin]

@001RafaelXD That sounds like a dead phone to me. Go have it checked out at a tech shop, but even if they could fix it, i doubt it'll run the same again. Time for a new phone for you! yayyy

[felliciawann]

@001RafaelXD u need to sent to service quickly,

[oliverkerin]

Which steps are necessary to do a full housing replacement?

I'm just not sure.

Thanks.

[me4uk]

the track pad stopped working so i threw it on the ground couple of times and it started working again!!!

[TheRedPanicButton]

thanks



[TheSliceBread]

My top left lock button has stopped working, do you think a bezel change with the top attached will fix the problem?

[felliciawann]

@TheSliceBread you can try to open as the video show. you can check if the bizel problem or the button underneath.

[adamsbil1]

Do you know how to replace the middle part where it actually says bold on the handset? Cant find a guide anywhere

[felliciawann]

[00MissSabs00]

[apmirkin]

@Narcli I am glad you are on here.

I have a complete new housing for mine. I want to refurb it.. However, I wish to keep the original metal plate, so that way I still have the IMEI and serial number on my bb etc.. Is it possible to swap the old one with the new one?

Thank you in advance.

[felliciawann]

@apmirkin yes you can use the original back cover which imei retain there.

[suddendeath04]

Thaank you a lot for this video! It helps me very well!

[sxcshez12]

[felliciawann]

[felliciawann]

@VUSTAH u need to clean the water damage underneath the white colour keybord plastic cover.

[msmopar1]

@Narcli What is a 'splunger tool' ?

[pexx1000]

Is that gonna void warranty?? I know it's kind of a stupid question, but I haven't seen any sticker or anything like it on blackberry.

[felliciawann]

@pexx1000  yes.. it will void the warranty.

[MrManKilt]

Looks like taliban putting detonator in that.

[felliciawann]

@MrManKilt :)

[felliciawann]

@frezzera

Nothing you can do due to phone is blacklisted.

[ralban]

HOW DO YOU TAKE THE LENS OFF THE LCD SCREEN??? I need to replace mine

[felliciawann]

@ralban

The LENS cannot be take out , this is whole LCD which cost at least 65-70 pound to replace it...

[felliciawann]

@felliciawann yes ,, the info is correct..but the price maybe £30-45 in EBAY

[felliciawann]

@ralban

Lens cannot be remove, unless you thinking to pay 60-80pound to get the LCD change.

[IvoryAbuhay]

My Manz!!!!! Who Would even do this to their BlackBerry?!!!!?!!!!?

[lachesisxtc]

Throw it on the floor with full power it'll do the same- just quicker.

[RyanCronshaw]

OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BLACKBERRY ; (

[yourfacedouche]

hey man, if you kno about housing, are housings that are designed for the blackbold fit on the white bold! please help!!!

[capitaltrees]

Hi

Thanks for the info so far. I have used T5 screwdriver and have got to the same position in in your demonstration. I now need to take off the lcd screen as it is cracked and I want to replace the screen. Can you tell me how to take off the screen and where to locate the serial number so that I can order a new one for this bold 9700?

Many thanks

[DrGoodwrench64]

@capitaltrees

Just head to your local Flea Market or Swap-Meet and pick one up for $25.

I've seen a lot of 9700s out at my local flea markets so I know they're out there and you can get them cheap!

[MrParanoiid]

why ? would u? wanna? do this?

[capitaltrees]

thanks

happy christmas

[capitaltrees]

Hi

The bold that I have is the same as in your video demo but when I take the little panel strip away from under the space bar it reveals two really small holes at either end. It does not look like you could get a screwdriver in there. The measurement for the hole diameter is about 1mm. So if i purchase a screwdriver which one should I get T4, T5 or T6? Thanks

[felliciawann]

@capitaltrees is T5

[capitaltrees]

thanks for this

[nootenstien13]

do you need the T5 or T6 for the blackberry bold?

[felliciawann]

@nootenstien13 is t5

[FIFTY212]

LEMME SEE U PUT IT BACK TOGETHER...LIKE HOW U GOT IT LOL

[rayzian]

[gmid24]

Whre do get tht screw driver?

[felliciawann]

@gmid24

T5..buy at ebay !

[thejuzboi2]

has anyone noticed that there is a gap between the top of the phone and the top of the screen ? or is it just mine ?

[JaybeeTiratira]

What really is the point of doing that to the phone? "COOL!!! this is what it looks like inside!"

[ljhyun89s]

[Seann1995]

[edwinicable]

[Starmub]

[djaneiro99]

[felliciawann]

@djaneiro99

it call pry! this is not necessary if you have other way to open it.

[leonardpermana]

@djaneiro99

[wany]

Hello! Is it what I have to do to replace the lcd screen? Because mine is broken...

[felliciawann]

@wany

yes..follow this and there are 2 more screw in the LCD parts.

[felliciawann]

@wany

yes..follow this and there are 2 more screw in the LCD parts.

[AngryBagpiper]

Very efficient, sir. And to all who are scared....well, it's a scary thing to do, especially with your baby.

I have never taken anything electronic apart, and I decided to go for it. This video is the best one for exactly how to do it. You need a T5 screwdriver, and although I used a razor to do it, anything really thin can do the job. I nicked a couple notches in my phone in the process, very minor, and it got the job done. Just remember to keep your old stuff in case of warranty issues.

[Chris385261]

All I want to do, is take off my original bottom bezel thing ( with the At&t logo) and then replace the front housing? I guess its called, so its call black and dosnt have the silver lining. Is that hard to do?

[felliciawann]

@Chris385261 is very easy, follow the step by step  according to the video will do.

[eloklaku]

i am helping problem with the speakerphone, anyone know how to fix or replace the speakerphone? thanks

[gianfrynco]

Guida ben fatta.

Bravo

[ppinkice]

Does it cause the BB to have any side effects if u dismantle it and change the housing? Do u need glue when u put back the top part?

[felliciawann]

@ppinkice

Hi

If you have a new housing which will come with top part, just glue it to the bezel otherwise take the old parts and glue to the new bezel.

Br,

[felliciawann]

any 1 interested on our 9700 housing can add aquariuswann in facebook and you can see all kind of 9700 color housing in my album

[nicklking]

[felliciawann]

the antenna located underneath the battery cover , at the bottom part of the phone after you remove the battery cover.it been painted into black color you might not aware on it.

[shapesy]

The backlight on my 9700 has broken. does anyone know if this is repairable? Or will i have to buy a new screen?

[felliciawann]

Just change the LCD

[tincoster]

@shapesy No..! Changing LCD doesnt work. Check whether the problem with the light sensor or power for the LEDs having a problem.

[Regards200800]

[felliciawann]

:(

[wendejelo]

nice vid, thanks

[killajdotwizzle]

Erm Y???????

[mariajoseeee]

how does ur battery slide out so easily?

[ProPhresh]

what's the purpose of this

[felliciawann]

because we do sell a lot of the 9700 color housing, this is to teach customer how to change the housing by DIY .

[callawaykilla4]

poor 9700, in the hands of a pure amuture

[Snowman7999]

thanks for this wonderful and helpful video how to open and change faceplate.

[Chany14]

This hurt my heart and soul to watch this.

Unlock your blackbbery 9700 MEP

[circa512]

hahah well ur warranty has been voided!!!

[felliciawann]

yes, i know. but i can repair this phone by myself. :)

[KinkyDreams]

cant believe some plastic case with a display and some microchips inside costs $200-@600..

[TheWontonWonder]

Clearly you've never purchased a computer..

[lilblitz]

@KinkyDreams guess what its not just a whole bunch of shit stuck together otherwise u would do it and make millions, ever heard of research and development thats what they have to fork out on initially to make the device so since its not a charity they may want to make that money back, oh and perhaps some profit

[ImDaGuest]

@KinkyDreams really ? i got this free with my plan but it would cost 30 bucks

[tightgrip]

*cries* i wish it was a nightmare instead of a video on youtube

[bless3dsc1m]

now can you put it back together? lmfao

[felliciawann]

u can get it from my another video how to assembly blackberry 9700 :>
