6515 housing change?

---

I know the 6515 is an old phone but I like it. I had one when it 1st came out, and last weekend I found one at a local pawnshop/yardsale. The owner let me play around with it, I put my sim in and everything worked as it should. I bought it! Anyway the point of the post is, how hard is it to change the housing? Actually just the front Silver faceplate would suffice. The screen and back housing are in pristine condition, but the Silver part has several scratches/dings on the corners. I found a replacement Black housing on eBay, plus a couple of Black faceplates. I'm pretty good at taking stuff like this, I've changed housings on several regular phone. I'm just trying to get an idea of the complexity.

Thanks in advance.

hey, i understand you want to change the housing of ipaq 6515. it isnt really hard, but be sure to have the right tools including the screwdrivers and phone opener(really important) because i tried without it and ended up breaking the screen. other than that, once you open it be sure to avoid pullin too hard because there is a vibrator motor connected to it. if you want to see a video, there is one on youtube.

it is quite easy .
