N9 repairs - Communal guides
 

Hello!
I think we should do a communal knowledge base for repairs for the N9.

I'm going to be replacing the front glass, but I don't think it's possible.

I just want to replace the front/outter glass alone. Not the digitiser or LCD.

Is this possible?

I have found a seller for outter glass.

But is it possible?

We need a total repair thread.
Similar to all the N900 repair guides.

I'm also interested in how (if possible) to change only the front glass.

I have seen a youtube clip showing how to do this

actually this doesnt look like it gets stripped all the way! but its half way there? :)

Thanks for the link. The separation at 2:00 is freaking me out. :eek:

Re: N9 repairs - Communal guides
 

outter glass and digitizer are both the same ¬¬ and yes you can replace only the digitizer but IMHO i dont recommend you to change only that part, save some more money and go for the whole piece

EDIT

sorry i hadnt seen your link and please dont be a fool this part WONT BE USEFUL for you you CANT do anything with that, you MUST buy the whole part

REMEMBER outter glass = digitizer

Thanks for the link to service manual!
I might just end up replacing the whole screen. Maybe this eBay link for top glass might not even work.

In going to replace my outter shell. Black or white.
