They (cnn.cn) are located over-seas, right? Was there a customs or import fee or tax?

They are located in...china hence the .CN. I paid a total of $64.98 USD through PayPal which is exactly $39.99 for the faceplate and battery cover, $19.99 for a white keyboard and $5 for shipping. I don't foresee any charges when it arrives, I've never had any other ones.

I haven't had to pay any customs fees on the parts I've bought through cnn.cn

[Londo_Jowo]

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

I paid $38 for second day air.

Ok, I got the E71 level 1&2 service manual. According to the manual, to remove the "A" cover, which would be this here: http://www.cellulardr.com/0252082.htm

You first remove the battery cover and battery. There are 4 screws (according to manual, T4). The manual says to remove 2 T4 screws at the bottom. Open the "A" covers snaps (clips) from the "B" cover by lifting lightly with tweezers, both sides. Lift up the "A" cover and slide upwards.

Can anyone confirm you only to remove 2 screws, and is it a T4 or T5 driver. I've seen it mentioned in this thread it's a T5 driver, but the service manual says T4.

Thanks

As far as I know, they are T4 screws... but a T5 screwdriver can/will get the job done.

Don't use one too big or you'll strip out the Torx bits - I hate Torx with a passion.

Ok, so can someone who has actually take the E71 apart comment on whether you need to remove 2 or 4 screws to remove the "A" cover? The "A" cover being the one that contains the lens cover.

I've always taken out all 4 screws to remove the front cover. The disassembly manual states the same.

Yes, you have to remove the four screws in order to get the front bezel/lcd cover off.
After you remove the screws you will need to work your way around the bezel, with a plastic prying tool.

I'm dying to do a faceplate or housing swap soon, because my E71 has sooooo much dust behind the screen. What I really want is black faceplate/housing with red keypad.

Anyone know where I can buy the new red keypad?

The best way is to press up on the front cover clips from the back side of the housing.

I believe you but....

I have this service manual:
E71_RM-346_RM-357_RM-407_SM_L1&2_v2_0.pdf

Near the end of the service manual,

12. Disassembly/Assembly Hints.

It states clearly:

12.1 A cover removal

Remove the 2 screws T4. Picture shows 2 screws being removed from the bottom of the device. It does not show removal of the top 2 T4 screws.

[Londo_Jowo]

Section 11 says to remove all 4, section 12 says to remove the bottom 2. So we're both right...
