Hello! My current phone is pretty beat up (scratches, dents, missing joystick (don't ask)) and I know I can buy a housing faceplace/fascia for it online.



It's basically the outside hard shell for my phone. But then I would have to take apart my phone and put it all back together. Does anyone know a place where I can actually go to get it professionally done so I won't mess it up? Or know any big stores that would do it ex. best buy, circuit city, t mobile store, etc?

Thanks. (: I was thinking of doing this instead is because I have to use my phone as of right now for a couple of more years. As of right now, I dont have the budget to buy a new one. Let me know, thanks.

but i've seen those asian cellphone shops do it..
remember the good old days then people pimped out their nextels? haha

its a really simple procedure, I've changed the faceplate on my psp and sidekick before without any problems.

like finding forever said, you probably won't find a company to do it for you and you really can't mess it up unless you use the wrong tools and mutilate your screws or something

Try searching online, like google and look for some faceplate changing tutorials if you're willing to try changing it yourself =]
Or go to those small asian cellphone stores like above posters have said ^^!

I'll try asking my bro later, about where he got his faceplate for his mobile changed (since it was damaged).

BTW, does anyone know where I can buy the Sony Ericsson w910 white faceplate online?

I used youtube for help in changing the housing for my w800i. it wasn't hard to do, but kind of tedious. i suggest you watch the video several times to make sure you got everything before making the switch.

that phone isnt hard to change the faceplate if i remember. i work in those tiny asian booth things at the mall and we have to do those. anyways if i remember you just have to run your nail through and it should pop out. those one there are no screws that you need to take out or anything. Do you know what i mean? i think just the back you would have to buy a screwdriver. <-- special kind it might come with it if you buy the faceplate. But the front should definetly pop out.

if anything just watch youtube videos there should be some that has it.
