Nokia E71 disassembly Pictures!

At no time did my front cover ever feel like it was stuck when I was removing or re-installing. I changed out the housing in less than 30 minutes.

Do a search for the E71 service manual 1&2. It has all the information you need.

Question. Is the lens cover part of A cover assembly or is a separate part? I see here it is listed as a separate part, but I only see it listed for the white steel.

The lens is included when you buy a new front housing aka faceplate.

GT_R -
To seperate the middle housing from the phone guts takes a little prying. Once all the screws are out, there isn't really anything else anchoring the motherboard. I just started slowly coaxing it out of the middle shell. Keep everything around once you've seperated it, it's the best guide for what goes where.

GT_R,
I take some of that back. There were 2 other screws now that I think about it. Once they came out, the slight coaxing can begin..
Sorry

Anyone know where to get just the faceplate for cheap? This place has it, but it's $39.99 and it includes the battery cover which I do not need.

I got my parts from mytrendyphone.com. Everything is original. The prices are based in pounds so I don't know what it costs as of today. I'm in the Chicago area and it took one week to ship. I highly recommend them.

The selection at mytrendyphone.com is quite limited. cnn.cn has more than twice the selection of parts and tools.

mytrendyphone was a nightmare to navigate. Looks like a 2 year old designed it.

I agree about the site, it could use work. But I'll still tell you that regardless of the above comments about "choices", you asked about a specific piece, not how many different pieces you could find or how many different toolkits they had in stock. I found exactly the pieces I needed, ordered them, they shipped out immediately, I received them quickly (considering where they came from), and were exactly what I expected. So if that kind of service means anything to you, I would use them. If you want to find every other part, you may have to look around. Some of the parts at cnn.cn don't even have the correct picture. I will definitely use mytrendyphone again.

Last week I ordered my Bold parts on Monday and had them on Wednesday by 10am. Ordered the black housing for my E71 on Wednesday and had it on Friday by 10am.

How much was shipping? You ordered your parts from cnn.cn?

[oddsocks]

I think my shipping from CNN.CN was $5 and 7-10 business days. Or $19.99 and 3-5 business days. I can wait the extra week or so.
