Results of my "Custom G1 Housing Change"

I just ordered the keys since I already have a white G1. Glad to hear that part wasnt to bad. Any tips for doing just the QWERTY keypad?

Mike,

the QWERTY keyboard was pretty simple for me and my dad all you gotta do is remove like 4 screws and lift the motherboard for the keys and replace the plastic keys with the new one and replace it and your good to go

hope everything goes well

Thanks man! Is the motherboard held in by clips or anytihng? Or does it just lift up?

No problem, and its just a lift up sheet its easy you won't mess up the keyboard for sure.

So has anybody else had any success opening up their g1?

I want to open mine up to tighten the sliding mechanism as mine has gotten loose, but I don't want to break it.

Especially after Johnny's experience.

Anybody want to share a success story to make me feel more confident. :-)

Ok, if you have Susan's phone, that means she has her magic running Ion.
