Sony Ericsson w810i Teardown.
I bought a cheap eBay housing to replace my current one for $7. I can say that the quality isn’t as good as the original housing. I found some listings selling the original housing for $30, but since it is an old phone, I will give the $7 housing a try.
Side by side, the font is not as sharp as the original one. The plastic sover for the LCD isn’t as good either. It is thinner, hence not as flat to the front face plate. The plastic housing gets scratched easily too.
The fonts are not as sharp. Yes, I taped my battery because I lost the cover. The battery easily pops out without the cover.
Remove the 2 screws and peel the back cover.
Remove the other 2 screws and peel the front cover. You can see how dirty is my phone.
The whole phone disassembled.
Phone assembled to new housing.
