For this new guide I will use the spare housing I have as a "beautiful assistant" - you will see exactly what I mean when you get your phones open ;o.
All info is in the images and it's all basic, if you dont understand a bit try it first because more than likely whenyou try it it will all make sense..
NOTES: - be careful with screwdrivers around the k700i, the lens and pcb are delicate, scratching them will mean a costly repair!.

the warranty may void yes BUT since there is no need to use a screwdriver nor leave any tell tale signs or fascia changing or fascia removal you should be safe 
it's only if you remove or change the middle housing case that problems will arise since the middle bit has the imei and model stickers on the rear!

Yup, no difference in quality at all, in fact the new housing somehow (i can't explain houw) feels a bit more robust too, the brushed metal rear cover feels a bit more brushed too |

@fatreg
You sure you put the buttons in properly and they are not aligned wrongly?

Yup, sounds like you didn't align the rubber contacts to the button on the pcb properly, place the button pad in the front fascia upside down so it slots in then place the phone unit in the fascia whilst upside down, fit it this way to ensure everything fits like a "shoe" - otherwise there is no reason why anything shouldn't work unless you accidently scratch or damage something! - in total I have opened my phone 4 times and not a single problem! |

ribbon?
You mean the small round black rubber thing that attaches to the underside of each button? or the white circular thing on the PCB itself?
If it's the button then you can buy a new button pad for a few $ from the above mentioned site!
