How to change S710 numeric keyboard?

[caraboy]

Hello,

My s710 keyboard is in bad shape. What I`m saying is that all the grey shinny color in the "end" and "answer" buttons is gone, and also these keys are broken near the light sensor (the part of the button, transparent, on top of the sensors that connects this buttons). So the buttons are now independent, if you know what I mean.

I am planning to buy this keyboard (the one for spv e650 because I like it more) and install it myself: http://cnn.cn/shop/orange-e650-black-keypad-p-3455.html

But the part is that I don`t know how, any ideas or tuts on how to replace my numeric keyboard?

Thanks!

I found the service manual, I`ll try to follow the indications there. :)

Wait! I bought the exact same keypad and you can't install it .. Its not the same as the one you have .. The e650 keys misses some small flips that will bound the keys to the pcb.. And then theres another problem.. The Keypad and the keypad pcb is connected with somekind of glue and its extremely difficult to do this yourself.. Believe me i have tried it and i gave up.. I ended up buying a device with broken screen and replaced the screen on that device with my own lcd instead as that is much easier..

Thanks for the reply! So I`d better go to a htc authorized service.
