Can someone please tell me step by step or give me a website that teaches people how to change the housing, bezel, keypad, lcd, etc. I recently purchased an all black housing for my v600 because it is all scratched up and now I want to change it, but don't know how and I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks

I would assume so. You should not have any problems since you have an idea of Motorola phones. I've just changed my old bezel. Finished it in about 40 minutes. I took some pictures as well.

You are going to need shades when you get done with it.

You need to modify it somewhat to fit V600 housing?

Yo Duceduc thanks for the instructions. I spent 5 straight hrs working on it yesterday and now I have ran into some trouble. The LCD screens on both sides doesn't work. I think I might have ripped the LCD ribbon while putting it into the black housing, but not sure. It doesn't look ripped to me just a little creased up. Do you know if I could have done something wrong in the process of putting it into te new housing. Also when I was swappping the LCD screen area I didn't remove the camera or the LCD ribbon I just lifted everything up and placed it all in the new housing at one. Do you think that might have messed everything up?
Thanks

Do you see any crease on the ribbon cable? You may have pinch the cable when you closed it?
