Hi,
So I am about to open up my K800i to replace the scratched screen. I noticed 2 different types of screws when I open up the battery cover. Does anyone happen to know which tools I'll need for the K800i? Is there an online guide that exists? Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

So neo2600, was it difficult to get the K800 apart? How did it go?

What amazes me is that the phone has only been out for a short while and yet someone already needs to have their screen replaced..

Don't worry. The k800 screens are solid and does not scratch easily.
I'm pretty sure these were accidental scratches.

I was carrying my mobile around in my pocket commando style for the first few weeks. It was fine for the most part until the day I wore some trousers with some abrasive pocket lining which left my screen with a blanket of light scratches. Nothing major. The scratches were only noticible under harsh lighting and during video playback. Overall, the screen is pretty solid. It is not prone to scratching like the iPod. Up until that point, it withstood all the dings and dangs of your typical daily grind. Since "The Incident" I have gotten myself a case (Sony Ericsson ICE-30 which I highly recommend by the way) so no more worries.
Anyways, the moral of the story is ALWAYS BUY A CASE FOR YOUR MOBILE AND NEVER WEAR TROUSERS WITH ABRASIVE POCKET LINING!
I will actually be replacing my screen this weekend. I've been busy I will let you all know how it goes.
Wish me luck!

Like a d**k I've scratched mine n the first week (I think a grain or two of sand managed to get in between the lens and the crystal hardcover I bought to protect it!!!!).
Would any of you brave souls help me by posting EXACTLY the procedure followed to replace the lens?
I'm going to buy the replacement (and any tools??) from the link included above.
Thanks
