Need new 7110 backside!

[riva]

Hey everyone!

Since i went go-karting with my 7110 still in my pocket it has now 2 smal cracks in the antenna, just below the screwed bit, which is part of the backside.

Now these people at an official service point told me they weren't allowed to repair it as the backside holds the IMEI number....:-( It has to be send to Nokia and costs about 160 guilders (like 80 US$)

In fact, i got a second opinion at another point, they charged even double the price!

I find this a bit strange and was wondering if there is any other way to resolve this "repair problem"?

Thanks!

go to a store and ask them if they want to sell the dummy 7110 because thats the same phone only without something in it go to smal particular stores try it

where are you from???? they are pulling your leg.

i've disassembled many 7110s already and the IMEI is on the PCB and not on the backplate.

you can buy a backplate seperately. just remove the 4 screws at the back after removing the battery. removing the back plate is easy, ders a snap fitting on both sides. then remove the antenna [snap fitting] from the back plate. thats it.

dn't remove the 2 screws on the PCB anymore, since all you need to do is change the backplate

anyone know how to remove the sticker on back of most phones (which contain imei and other info) and stick it back to other back casing properly, without damage and without trace of tamper?

use a sharp blade [cutter / shaving] and peel it from the buttom and use clear gel glue to stick it back to the replacement casing
