Nokia 6300 ~ Refitting Front Facia After Fall

    Dropped this and no damage except that the front cover or facia is slightly loose mainly on right hand side and at bottom.

    Looked at several youtube vids about opening this up and its fairly easy.

    I just wanted to pressed the cover back into place but a couple of tiny brass coloured kinda v clips fell out, and when I removed the cover a few more fell out, think there is 6 in total.

    The thing is they are so damn tiny its impossible to fit them back in their place.

    The video's show how to dismantle the phone and fit new cover etc but do not mention these little devils.

    Any suggestions lads, (nice one's that is):D

    The brass coloured bits that fell out are basically the thread housing for the screws that hold the fascia. If you can retrieve them, a quick dab of super glue on the bottom, a steady hand and a set of metal tweezers will do the job.
    Alternatively, if you're part of the 6300 lovers club, find your nearest Nokia Care Point and they'll outfit a brand new fascia for you while you wait. Hope this helps :)

    oh that's great news thank you very much.

    I have a spare 6300 and opened up that to see where these yokes go and some fell out of that, so I now have two with the covers lifting.:D

    Think I'll leave it up to the gsm or Nokia centres.


    cheers.:)
