well, i don't have a haiku for this, but don't forget the official nokia care teardown guide for the n810!
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=15751
i've used this guide to teardown and make the slider more stiff after losening over time.
the only tools i used were a small jewlers phillips screwdriver and a plastic type wedge/pry tool from and ipod repair kit.
be brave! it's not that bad. the only thing to worry about are the flex connectors.
good luck!

Okay, here's what I can bring if anyone has uses...
-a few malfunctioning 770s
-a few 770 slide-on covers
-a couple of N800 faceplates (yeah I found more!)
-some odds and ends for various phones
-an old model working phone or two
-some broken phones
-a refurbished 770 with accessories in box
I can provide details later, but odds are I'll bring what makes sense. We could keep the stuff at the maemo.org booth.

I'm sure there may be some demand for the covers, faceplates, and even the 770 refurb. So I'm open to ideas on how to make distributing them fair and fun.

(get a mic and a decibel meter just for kicks, unless some skilled dev works out the N900-as-wireless-mic code in time)

Or simply draw names from a maemo.org hat.

EDIT: fast-forward a few days, the touchscreen is not responding anymore. Guess I have to come up with a creative use for a dead N810.
