Has anyone removed the Metal LCD Cover Plate from the Exec? My one has a few dents in it and I want to debrand it. I have a Milling machine at work that I can use to cut myself a new plate, all I need too do I work out how to remove the old one without damaging the the rest of the cover.

hi
i have your problem but i contrite for removing that(after removing it geting worse) since i haven't laser cutter or milling machine i cant do any thing and i forced to stik lather instead of metal
i recomend you if you want to do that embed a tiny knife or blade betwen the plastic part and metal plate if you use long knife it better embed it far as you can (becareful you may cut your hand / scratch plastik part use a piece of cloth to prevent this) then rotate the knife or pull it up-> (use two khife at the same for pulling up) and be careful the plate maybe lost her face

sorry for my bad English

i hope these are usefull for you

Sounds just like I suspected the Metal cover plate is stuck down with a double sided tape then.

Nice idea the leather, could add some protection.

Hi !

I am not REALLY sure, if this can help you, but I think so. I do not remember, where I found this, but it helped me, when I had to exchange the front cover of my Universal some months ago...

I've got this manual already, what I what to do is remove the metal plate fitted in the centre of the top cover. Basicaly I want to de-brand my XDA uni form the Mobi operator and to pimp my XDA Uni.

The manual only gives info on removal of the complete top cover but not the metal plate.
