Can anyone refer me to a good replacement chassis for me N9?
 
Hi guys,
I bought my N9 used about 6 months ago, and so far it's been a good device. The problem is, the power button has been extremely loose the entire time. Is it possible for me to replace the button? (I want to replace the entire chassis as well because of some major scratching and cracking). Can anyone give me a link to a case that's a good buy and is from a reputable seller? (Also can anyone link me to the original rubber case that came with N9, i didn't get one)

Thanks a lot :)

Is it safe to change the case? Like, is it very difficult, or can it be done in less than an hour or so? I don't want to break my N9 because I use it as my primary device, so this is a main concern I have

It can be a tricky job, but with the right screwdriver its fine. Getting the mobo into the chassis is probably the hard part, mine is still a bit oddly placed, I haven't gotten around to putting it back properly. My wifi antenna is crap though.

@Shadwblade2652 it's safe and very easy. You just need to have tools and follow video. If you buy complehe housing you just need to replace board and display.

This one?
Nokia N9 Housing

Any concerns? It comes with a tool, so it may be okay (I have a torx screwdriver set laying around anyhow, so it shouldn't be much of a problem, right?)

This one is okay. The only problem you may encounter is broken screws in your phone. I had some of them rolling and did drilling to unscrew

Hi, Coderus.
Can you elaborate a bit more about the drilling?
I have the same problem, but hadn't figured out a solution yet.
Regards.

Just a warning to you Shadwblade, I bought that same replacement housing (same seller as well) and it came with a broken headphone jack. There were others (Djjonosound one of them I think) who reported problems with the wifi antenna not working. before you buy, just keep in mind they've been known to ship with broken internals!

Parts4repair.com also sells two different housings, one that appear to be original and another OEM. The OEM housings are cheaper, but it might be worth shelling out the extra bucks to get a fully functional unit.
