I wanted to order one but, I am afraid I won't be able to change it properly and screw up my phone! Is there any video/picture guide on how to change the housing on the arc?
I tried to replace the blue housing to silver before. There's pda file about how to change it properly. In my experience, the hardest part is how to remove the lcd from the housing(need a special tool for it), the rest is actually pretty easy.
Oh here's the instruction and pdf

So you managed to replace it?
I need to change the front buttons, how hard/dangerous would that be be?
i already did it once before, so it shouldn't be too hard for me. For the LCD part, because the entire lcd is glued with the housing, it takes a bit skills to remove it.
For the front buttons: you need to separate cover rear and the front housing, then remove the sub pba. After that you can replace the front button. As long as you follow the instruction from the pdf, then it shouldn't be too hard(in my experience).
I'm very interested in it, please can you upload some pics when you'll receive it?
wow, original?
well ya, that's what the seller said. It will takes times to ship, i will post some pics when it arrives.

I'm waiting! I have never heard about this housing
Wow, thats what Im looking for cause my camera has a scratch.... Cool
*edit*
In the working instructions it says, that two peaces cant be reused (ant gps flex & audio jack). Thats true? no way to remove it undamaged??

oh, that 2 peaces i can actually reuse it after for some reason without any problem.
(Maybe it said the mid housing can't be reuse because it use tape to stick both peaces on the housing, so once it removed from the (old) housing, the tape on the old housing can't be reuse because it is not sticky anymore.
Still waiting for the housing, hopefully it will arrive soon....( i hate canada custom, always take forever....)
I bought it from a German store so it will hopefully arrive today or tomorrow. I take some pics of the"not reuseable" parts.
Wohoo, I will not have a scratch at my camera.

Any pictures?
Btw.. do you HAVE to use a special to remove LCD panel?
If so, where do you get it?
Thankss
yes you need special tool to remove LCD panel. I bought the tool from dollar shop(suction cup) and it works well lol.(However, you still need to find a way to hold ur housing while you remove the lcd panel.)
****in awesome I want this one too
Hi, i got some dust inside a xperia play that is almost invisible and a white speck that is very visible inside a new xperia play, i also got another play that has some minor dust inside the screen that can only be seen by using a bright flashlight.
So my questions are:
1)Is this normal?
2)Did this dust came from the factory?
3)Will i continue to get more dust?
Thanks
1) I have some dust. But if you still can view the screen when using, it is okay. If you want, send to centre and ask them to clean it.
2) Possible.
3) There won't be more dust.

mey mate
that is not normal , i think your phone is second hand , there is no way for dust to come inside ( from factory )
i personally have some dust between touch digitizer and LCD, cauce i've changed my broken touch-digitizer. so i think that is not normal and please talk to sony support guys
Anyone more, i know some HTC phones like Desire and the iphone 3 and 4 have had similar problems, anyone more has dust that havent oppened their xperia plays?
I forgot to say the 2 cells where purchased brand new separately and both have some dust
hi
if there brand new id take them back and get a replacment

The iPhone 4 and beyond never had that problem. The digitizer and LCD are fused together.

Look online, there is tons of topics of people reporting the iphone 4 problems of dust, and some from the iphone 4s.
there is some reporting the play but i want to know if pople here got it too, look your play under a flashlight while off to see if you got dust that can't be cleaned.
Anyone?

Have you tried eBay? Search for "xperia arc housing". You can also try Sony service centres

Im just opened on this subject topic:

Recently I bought from ebay an new original housing for my Sony Xperia Acro S, because the plastic protection that covers the battery was broken and for this reason my phone has lost the waterproof protection. I have downloaded the service manual for this phone to change the new housing by myself because there are no Sony Xperia specialized technicians in Ecuador, I am really dissapointed because of this. In the service manual it doesn´t specify how can I change the NFC antenna pad from the original rear cover assy to the new one. It apparently seems to be sticked, but I am not sure of it, could someone please help me explaining me how can I unstick it to put it on my new housing? I am worried about breaking this part and not to have NFC function on my Xperia anymore. In the next picture I show you in the yellow part the NFC antenna that I need to change. I will really be thankful if someone gives me a good answer

i havnt taken anything electrical apart for a while but (try about 10 years (exclude 12 year old computer last week)
check if its attached or stuck to anything else? then that something else just try to cairfuly pry it off of the housing,
(im unsure if the one you bought is suppose to come with one but if its Glued on the original(From factory) then the housing you bought should have it too :/)
I suggest you Dont try this first,
Search things up in google first! DO NOT TRY THIS because i did say i was unsure
