I've just receive my black and orange housing for my silver w610. Any i want to do some mixing and matching
but i can for the life of me figure out how i get the phone apart! Does anyone have a link to a guide for disassembling one?
I've got my t6 screw driver to hand but i can't get the back/top plastic cover off to remove the last two screws...

Posted by leeboy13
awww wwhy didnt you jst ask for it back.... you fanny! i will give you the wonger for this one when i next see ya dude
Posted by Burgaz
Don't worry duder this one cost me 80p lol.
Anyways back on topic i need the housing change guide! i only want to change the front faceplate but cant get the old one off!!!
Posted by Burgaz
The bits circled in yellow are the bits i can't get off?? I can't even get the one of the new housing... i haven't tried that hard because i don't wanna scratch them but there must be a way!!?

Doesn't it just unclip Burgaz?
have you got a couple of plastic splitting tool's?
or long finger nails? get them in between the plastic at the bottom and work them towards the top tres gingerly!
Posted by Burgaz
It must unclip i guess nanu... But even on the new housing i cant see the clips? The one on the black one has a little movement so i know it's gonna come off but i want to keep the black one, the orange one is going to be a spare. the problem is there are two screws under it i need to remove!!!
I've tried using my nails and a very fine pair of tweezers i have but it just doesn't want to budge...?
Posted by Nanu
You sure there are 2 screws Burgaz as it looks to be the same as the K750/w810 and they just unscrew in the battery area and then unclip near the top!
Fetch it to ours tonight and I'll have a look for ya!
Posted by Burgaz
that's exactly what i was hoping when i ordered it. but unfortunately on the new housing there are two holes that look like screw holes to me....?

I'd be interested in a guide to as I want to put a black W610 front onto my black K550!
Posted by Nanu
I wouldn't like to see the size of the screws that go in there!!
Posted by Burgaz
Coxy does the k550 have a seperate piece at the top on the back? I'm just wondering now?
I only want to change the face plate on mine because i want an entirely black w610... if i ever manage to get this little bit off and change the faceplate i'll post some pics up and descibe how i did it.
I've got my finger nail right under it on the spare back plate now but i can't get it off at all??? it just starts to bend the Chasis...?
Nanu... The holes are the same size top and bottom. They're only t6 screws.

It's a tough one Burgaz I can't find anything on google either!
Posted by Burgaz
I've been trying on and off all day now with no luck... Anyone have any ideas?
Posted by Nanu
Crow bar?
Posted by Burgaz
I dont think that'd even work lol.
I've even tried removing the speaker cover (which is metal by the way) from the orange housing to see if that revealed anything but nope...
Posted by Burgaz
Bugger me!
I've just got the orange one off!!!!
Posted by Nanu
This may sound daft having never handled said phone but does the front come off first?

How?
Posted by Burgaz
I managed to get a very fine pair of tweezers up under here (see yellow arrow) then the left side clips off. Then i just popped it off along the top side. It all just came off then. No problems!
I just need some super glue now to hold the clear plastic display cover onto the new housing...
Posted by Burgaz
Finally got arund to finishing this!
I've now got me a totally black w610i with flash themes! Yay!
IMO it looks loads better in black. I did consider putting the orange back on it too but then stopped at a totally black Walkman!
Lovely!
Posted by Coxy
Nice one burgaz! I like. Where did you get your housing?
All black K550/W610 hybrid coming soon!
Posted by radeonboy
I don't think a K550/W610 hybrid is possible, the center piece is different
i.e. the K550 camera button is different from the W610's camera button
Posted by Coxy
I'm sure I will find a way! I'm only going for a W610 front piece anyway so that it is a Cybershot/Walkman phone with a good cam and
player!
Posted by scottt
Dang Burgaz! That is one sweeeeeeeeeeet looking little W610i
Posted by altusan
I don't have any idea about it but I will keep looking up to the internet in order to find instructions to disassemble it. I have a question: is the loudspeaker as big as the group of small holes of the cover?
Posted by JuanPablo
It looks great
Posted by abbafan1972
It looks nice, well done.
Posted by Burgaz
@Coxy...
The housing was from www.cnn.cn it came complete except for the side buttons?
Posted by bEmo
OK what I would like to see is someone get the K550 middle set with the blue LEDs and throw that into the 610... Especially this one. All black 610 with blue illuminated keys.
Posted by lockinsocks
Hm..maybe I should give this a try too since I scratched the front and back side of my phone. Sadly cnn.cn doesn't have the silver housing or else I would mix match the colors. I guess my silver version is going to be the black and orange version now.

It was a t6 screw driver i got for 80p lol. Not a w610 if that's what you were thinking?
