T39 fascia -- easily removed?
Posts: n/a the screen on the T39. Want to replaced my heavily scratched one with a third party version if it can be done. Will it come off without damage? Is it glued on, snapped into place, or what? Where's the best place to lever it off from? TIA. Stuart C  Responses to "T39 fascia -- easily removed?"

I wouldn't have been able to progress without it. Got the front casing off fine according to the instructions. I ended up using two old guitar picks as my levers! They worked a treat. I had in fact tried to get hold of the 'correct' toolset from a dealer on eBay, but unfortunately it never arrived -- "lost in post" :-( I took the risk of removing the fascia from the casing, partly because the replacement casing I'd bought (from a non-working T39 via eBay) had more damage on its corners than the one on my own phone! It came away quite easily in the end; the glue used to hold it on is surprising soft. Just pinch the edges of the casing (once it's been taken off the back of the phone), and the edges of the fascia pop up slightly. Move your tool (in my case, the guitar pick!) into the gaps, and slowly and GENTLY prise it away. I say gently because otherwise there's a risk you could bend the metal at the narrow sections. Of course, the fascia being replaced on the other case can come off as roughly as you want! A few drops of superglue on the underside (taking care not to apply too much so that it doesn't spill out onto the case), and just drop the new fascia into place on the original phone. Cheers. Stu C
