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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086178
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123609

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.

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

[Q] Help with NFC antenna pad located on rear cover assy Xperia Acro S

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

I suggest that you buy full screen set with assembly frame. I just finished changing lcd screen and glass without new assembly frame and it was pain in the ass...

but why you buy new full LCD if you need only front glass only ?
its more cost and more pains:cyclops:
i think i will get the front glass only and i will go to some center to replace with broken one

Success or Not?
I know that's an old post but... Did you succeed in replacing the front glass only?
Or do you advice me to buy the full screen set?
Thanks!

Replacement digitizer/LCD and housing

Hi all, apologies if this has been covered, I did a search but didn't find anything.
I have an HTC one with a cracked digitizer and I am planning on trying to fix it myself (I like a challenge!)
However, I am struggling with which parts to buy. I live in UK and all of the sellers on eBay seem to be on Hong Kong or China and the parts do not seem to be OEM. I am concerned about the quality of non-OEM parts.
Does anyone know of some genuine sellers in the UK/Europe? If you know of somewhere better in the US then I'm happy to pay postage as long as it's genuine.
Also, there are a lot of listings for digitizer only - I cannot find any recorded method of removing the digitizer from the LCD so I assume I should stay clear of them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Find a HTC Carepoint. They have them but i don't know if they sel them. A repair ad mine shop wil cost you €240,-

@stumark man that's gonna be a tough thing to find. In order to get original parts your either going to have to get it to a HTC repair shop or buy an m7 for parts and rip of the front housing. I just bought the full housing so I can change mine from silver to black but I have not seen any official screens. I can give you the links to some I found in the US if you want tho.

I assumed that I would need to buy the full housing but I cannot find one that seems genuine. So if you have found some that you know are genuine then some links would be great, thanks

I'm interested in doing the same- changing from silver to black. I'm curious how did it go, did you manage to swap the casing/display without damaging it? I saw some vids on YouTube about it.. looks pretty messy..

I bought my housing from this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Si...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item51b4c6527e
U think it only can be original if it comes from us or uk? where do you think this is made?

I'd recommend etradesupply.com also. Bought iPhone replacement digitizer there and it worked awesome.

Hi,
I have a htc m7 with a cracked digitizer and I want to repair it.
I know that the best is to change the digitizer and the screen together(like this one for example), but I saw this video and others to replace the digitizer only and it seems easy.
Did anyone already tried to replace the glass?
I thought it was needed to unglue the screen from the glass and glue it again, but I didn't found much information about this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Diogo

Yes, i did it my self and if you going to replace the lcd you shouldn't be worry much :victory:
my recommendation it to remove the SIM stick first then, start to insert the tool between the upper lip of the SIM port and the Black lcd frame :good:
then start to pop out the lcd from the the back cover BY moving the tool around the phone.
the bottom speaker grill can be removed easily, but the upper one has a screw from inside from the left side only.
you will find some youtube video, but my recomendation to start from the upper lip of the SIM port

I think you should remove the sim slot first. I messed up mine trying to take out the back case and also messed up the volume up button. [emoji35]
