Dismantling/Assembling Htc Touch 3g... I need help!

---

Hello
Hope everybody's fine.

I bought Htc Touch 3g housing set from ebay and I want to change the old one.

I found a very good dismantling guide here:

I haven't tried it yet. But I opened my Phone and I think I am going to have trouble at step 5 6 12
specially step 6 { I don't know how much pressure to apply to unplug it?! does it have any lock above the wire or not }

and what about stick in step 12? it is ok to dismantle it ...but what about assembling it again!?

Any help is regarded
Thank you in advance!!

il be doing this in the next week or so , when the digitiser i have ordered today from ebay arrvies. dont think you will have too much trouble, normally them cables just slide in and out or have a latch you slide back or lift to release cable, cant tell from the pics, but it shoud be easy. the stickytape you shoud be able to put back after, if not use some double sided underneath it to fix it back lol .
il post back when iv done if you havnt attempted it by than, and let you know how it went. am not looking foward to seperating the digitiser and casing oh no

Hey dear...
thx

So please come here and update us...
I had several rainbow in my digitizer...I fixed it very very easily by this method....:

my jade lives again, so am happy

i was right , the ribbons for the lcd are the plug type, you cant rally mess this up unless you push too hard at a funny angle, just lift from underneath like in the guide. the digitiser has a black clip that you lift to release the ribbon than slide it out.
i never removed the tape from the lcd, but did from the ribbons and re used it after, if all your doing is changing housing, just remove the button pcb and lcd as one like i did , its eaiser
i was right , removing the old digitiser was a right pain, but i got there in the end lol.

i totally agree with the whole moisture thing, cut my old one up into layers and moisture in the wrong place will sure mess it up. il try it if it ever happens again so thanks for the info

hope this was helpfull

Hey
Thank you for reporting back
I want to change my housing....I ordered it and received it...
But I want to change it several months later
What was the hardest part? In which step damage to phone is possible?
Please tell me...
Thank you in advance

in all steps damage is possible, just have to use common sense. your most likely to do damage to the lcd if your too rough removing it from its clips. if theres nothing wrong with your original housing and your not confident enough to do this its prob better you dont. if it aint broke, dont fix it. or if your me, modify it lol.

so, how did do go about it then?
any feedback highly appreciated, since i need to swap the digitzer on my jade!?

my special interest lies within step 12 of the guide from pdacenter:
is it necessary to unstick from the screen plume front buttons? if i only need to change the digitzer?
looks like i can extract the whole section by just jumping to step 13 and loosen the screws and then extracting the whole lcd, in order to get to the digitizer...right?
