what are the dangers of changing the case of a w800i (dust in screen etc)?
want to change it to black from this item because i scatched mine pretty bad. btw white/orange is nice but black/orange is also nice, maybe nicer

I'd rather have a scratched default case, rather than that awful looking one.

btw QVGA i want to keep the default aswell because i think its much more sturdy than the black unoriginal one.
ish this really ugly ?

Nice. This is my k750:
I recomend that you take a look at some dismantle instructions like this before you take your phone appart. http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=870

static on the Mother Board of the phone as the chips are sensative but apart from that i would have nothing to fear as ur old OEM white is being thrown just take your time and see how it all works while u remove it make sure u can remember how it goes back together

If you worried about static damage then get a static wrist band.
If your taking phones or computers to bits then for the low cost of static wrist band is well worth it.
Posted by slugworth
most static problems only come if you touch the componants its only a low level risk its just if you do short the phone out then you have no warrenty to fall onto
Posted by PowerLee
Just touching the PCB can fry any static sensitive components on the board.

thanx

i hope i don't hurt my baby when i try this mod. if thats the case of stuffing up the motherboard than i will just swap the front and back cover only and leave the middle.

hubby tried changing the fascia on his K750i and ruined the phone.
Posted by scottt
Well he must of seriously screwed up as it really is quite simple, if you follow that guide you should be fine

Posted by dcbastable
just make sure that you get a decent fascia pack. a lot og the ones on ebay are total bulls**t!!! some local service centres can get hold of good quality ones for not much money (just don't ask them to fit it as they will charge the earth for that).
