Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / May 2004Has anyone replaced thier screen on the T616???
I personally think that living in a technologically backward countr sucks as far as cell phones are concerned.... sony ericsson wont sel me a screen that im fairly confident i can fix myself with the righ instruction. SO, I have already opened the phone up, taken the displa out but not sure how to dissconnect the old one and connect for tha matter the new one. Has anyone replaced the screen - wabam4 There is a company that sells 630 screens and alot of the hoibbyist types are putting them in their 616-610s I believe. Mush nicer resolution, but evidently requires a Firmware flash and that makes the phone not perform as well, also. So it s become a trade, pretty for quality of service. Personally, I look at my 616 and still havent gotten over the quality. So it can definitely be done, now its a matter of finding one of them. I will check my sources and archives and see what i can find for ya. > I personally think that living in a technologically backward country > sucks as far as cell phones are concerned.... sony ericsson wont sell [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > http://cellphoneforums.netView this thread: http://cellphoneforums.net/t120736.html > > I personally think that living in a technologically backward country > > sucks as far as cell phones are concerned.... sony ericsson wont sell > > me a screen that im fairly confident i can fix myself with the right > > instruction.

Has anyone replaced the screen? eBay (UK anyway) has several for around ?18.99 with screwdriver and full instructions. I replaced my T630 screen without much difficulty. A quick search on eBay will throw up several - go for it! Ted I have found a few 610 screens... I just want my display back! A nice screen would be nice but I'm not too sure about installing the firmwar flash stuff your're talking about... The only difference between th 610 and 616's are ones UK and the rest of the world and the 616 i specially for the U.S.... of course because America likes to b complicated.... Anyway, the screens should be the same and I wouldn' have to install new firmwear would I - wabam4 > I have found a few 610 screens... I just want my display back!

Sometimes the vendors don't ship internationally but I note that this one will, for example, if you email them first. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42423&item=4186868184&rd=1 Good luck!

It is secured in three ways, a piece of tape, a securing lever and a small plastic pull-out clip (you'll see what I mean when you take the tape off). You have to pull the lever across first and then draw out the plastic clip to fully release the cable. Simply insert the new one, press in the clip, pull the lever back into position and replace the tape. You'll find piece of clear protective plastic on your new screen, simly remove that and re-assemble. The hardest part of the whole process is removing the top cover (the one above the battery cover which covers the antenna plate). You may break a finger nail or two here, but follow the instructions and you'll be OK!
