My Motorola A1200 Housing Replacement guide.. sorry no pics

[danielmendes]

Ordered brand new oem one off cnn.cn

took it apart today really basic instructions sorry lol

1) back 4 screws come off easily... hard thing is prying off board from middleplate
2) i ripped one of the ribbon cables when i yanked the middle plate .... although it was the ribbon cable that leads to the hinge
3) cnn.cn's housings come with the hinges pre installed and the ribbon cable is there available when u purchase it.. meaning even though i ripped my cable theirs comes with one pre-installed
4) plug back in the ribbon cable from their hinge and flip into your board
5) put everything back pop in the screws and voila brand new a1200... unfortunately its 79.99 US for the housing and not to mention the 3-400 + u spent on ur phone so if u screw up... it really sucks.

Thanks for the mini-guide. I will certainly replace my housing once it gets beat up enough. Im just glad the housing comes pre-assembled!
