Default Attention to ebayers!!! - Full Housing for Trinity

Good afternoon,

Recently bought a housing for my trinity. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120315350939)

The product was not expensive when compared to others, and it is the original cover from HTC. I have the white one, so i wanted to try the black.

The product came as quicker than expected and in perfect conditions. Also, the seller offers a complete kit to disassemble the Trinity. Checked the Dimantos tutorial (to whom i'd like to thank) in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311463 and dissassembled my old cover.

The black cover i bought didn't even have the LEDs, the camera protection, the buttons (camera, power) - Well, i thought, i can reuse the old ones. And so i did.

But, unfortunately, when trying to fasten the screw, i realised it's just plastic (there nothing in the cover to "receive" the screw) and its impossible to fasten them.

Also, i'd like to know if its possible to buy those little golden pieces, since i don't want to break the other cover to take them out.

Thanks in advance

Same here,
but I menage to pull out little golden pieces and place them in my new housing.

If you don't find "little gold pieces" here what you can do...

Fasten the screw in golden pieces but only a half way, than take tweezers, grab screw, and pull it out..
Warm golden pieces with lighter (also use tweezers) and stick them in new housing...

Talking trinity housing from ebay

YUP YUP same thing happened to me! Me and my buddy used a lighter to warm the case and then forced the screws in. I had the black and got the white, I also bought the white silicone case too looks good! It was a nightmare I had to use EVERYTHINGfrom my old case.
