Inexpensive way to change k850i backlight to blue or other

Press more for instructions!

This is an inexpensive way to change you K850i (or any other phone which has a white backlight) to a colour of your choice. Here is what you do:

1) Find a transparent coloured wrapper of your choice. The best place to get these is in Quality Streets.

2) Open up your phone using this guide (finish reading after opened front cover):

3) Take the wrapper of your choice and cut it out perfectly, so it goes just under your touch-sensitive keys, and fits the keypad perfectly. To get the colour I got, I used a layer of purple and a double layer of blue on top. This gives a dark blue effect.

4) Put the phone back together and done.

5) Enjoy you keypad backlight changed, without dishing out too much money changing PCBs or anything. =D

In the guide, once the front came off, you can see small gold-coloured thingy's on the white thing (get it?). Are those gold thingy's the lights? If so, then making the D-pad the only button emitting blue light would be impossible, wouldnt it?

@3XPERIMANTAL yes the gold "thingy's" are the lights and just to make the d-pad emit blue would be possible.
