My E61 screen is very scratched, can I just replace the ‘glass’ screen or do I need to replace the LCD display as well?

Hi!

I have problem that the courser moves to the left side of the screen by it self every now and then. Going to try the instructions on this site to remove the front cover and see if I can remove some dirt and see if it’s that what causing the problem. Keep you informed….

Hello folks,
Does anyone know how to solve a ‘crazy’ going joystick; it went crazy few days ago, can not navigate up/down or left; it scrolls only clockwise, by itself… has anyone had similar problem. Is it software or mechanical issue?

Hi Guys,

I’m sorry, but the only place I know for getting parts is http://www.afterbuy.de/afterbuy/shop/storefront/start.aspx?shopid=33097 which is located in Germany. You could try to get your spare parts there. But be advised, shipping (Germany-Switzerland, which are neighbouring countries) took more than 4 weeks in my case!

Cool, thanks for the tip! Now I’m a little less worried about all that dust “in” the display, under the protective plastic (which gets in there no matter how careful I am with the phone). When it gets too irritating I’ll just order a new screen. Heck.. hope I’ll manage to change it though… %-)

Hello,

Thanks for the insight on the E61. Where can I find the English keyboard and do you have advice on how to upgrade the firmware for the keyboard and where to find the firmware? I appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Todd P

Thanks Risotto,

I followed your steps and changed front cover on my E61 easily.
I wouldn’t dare disassemble it on my own without reading your step-by-step ‘manual’

Good job!
