T39 housing exchange - Esato archive

Posted by ksjohansen
Hi,

I recently bought a new housing for my Ericsson T39. Does anyone have any experience changing this - able to give me a good tip or where to find a manual for that?

Also it looks like some special tool is needed for the antenna - any good tips how to avoid buying this / alternatives?

Thanx!

Kristian

instead of the special opening tools you can use a flat screwdriver, but be careful...

to remove the antenna, you simply pull on it with sufficient force. Instead of a screwdriver, use old credit cards. You're going to need three, one for the left side, another for right side. you must completely slide in the long side of the credit card into the gap. Once you manage to jam the credit card on both left and right side of the phone, use another card for the top and it'll pop right out. this minimizes if not totally eliminate chances of scratching the new cover.
