Changing a 6310i front cover

vulcanbomber

I have an old Nokia 6310i phone. I would like to change the front cover, I have undone the 4 small screws under the battery but still the cover will not come off. Is there some sort of knack to removing these covers or am I not doing it correctly. Any help would be most gratfully received.

Hi,

Be warned the cheaper ones off ebay result in the buttons jamming. I paid over £30 in the end for a original cover as i got that sick.

Best regards

Thanks for the help, I'm beginning to wonder whether or not it is worth it having seen what is involved. :T

I took mine to bits once as on/off switch not working well. Not really all that difficult. I agree don't even think of the cheapo fascias off ebay they are a waste of time being made of thin plastic that creaks all the time. The key to most phones' solid feel is that the plastic bits fit exactly - not "almost" as in the knockoff fascias.

I believe https://www.mobiles.co.uk have some 6210 Genuine Nokia Red (or Black) 6210 covers - I am fairly sure 6210 6310 and 6310i are physically same. They want 25 quid each but can't be right price and must be open to offers.

Hi,

6210 are different to the 6310. I believe there is a difference is profile to the 6310 to the 6310i but maybe wrong.
