W200 has a very bad screen.. no contrast, no clarity...
I have a k510... is it possible to interchange their screens....
I can manage the hardware part but would I need to make any change in the
firmware???
I have managed to interchange their speaker, vibrator, mic (just for fun...) and it was successful and without any change....
Experts please suggest....

well, the k510's screen has 262144 colors while the w200 is 65536. i guess it wont work because of this. but, give it a go. nobody knows.

how are u gonna fit it into the w200's housing?
Posted by tranced
what do you mean? does it have different dimensions?
Posted by w200
i dont think it has different dimensions ... both phones have the same structure...
What I am really concerned about is that would it affect my phones software (I dont want my w200 or k510 to be DEAD...)
If i get an assurance(with reasoning) that my phone wont die with the operation, i'll go ahead and do it

Hey please help... i really wanna do it but dont want to spoil my phone...

You can try if the display can fit into the W200. If not, don't use power... Just put it in the connector gently... Then upload the K510's default display driver to your w200 in ifs/settings/display.

got it!!! finally did it... exchanged the w200 and k510 screen... display drivers also exchanged... both working fine...

Could you post some pics before and after, so we can see the differences ...
Good work!!
Posted by w200
well i havent got any "before" pics coz its already changed now.. the new one has the k510 lcd so its just like the clarity of k510...
i would suggest to every w200 user to get a new k510 screen and replace it with the old crap one...
Why did SE put such a bad screen in w200??
it is a low end phone but the price difference wont have been that much between a good 65million colour lcd and the one that w200 has...

Heheh congrats mate. I was wondering if it will really works, but as you said it did. So I can do it now to mo uncle's w200...
heheh tnx for reporting back.

@vatam2.. you just cant use the k510 display driver in w200, you will have to change the w200 screen to k510 (i mean the hardware) then only u can put the k510 driver in w200...
anyways, u can download the driver from

Hi W200. I saw this thread and I also want to change displays between k510 and w200 (which is horrible) but I can't find anywhere display driver for k510 and this link is dead now. Can you help me, please, uploading it one more time? I'll be very grateful.
