V3 disassembly

islide · 01-23-2006, 01:29 PM

My v3, amoung others from reading some threads, has collected dust inside the faceplate. I went to dissasemble today but found that the screws are NOT a T6 torx wich was what I thought. Im guessing its a T5 but just wanted to verify that with anyone who has done this yet. Its the black Razr if it matters. Thanks in advance

Sorry to say it, but the fact that nobody has told you yet, either is testament to that fact...or you just don't have any friends around here

Yes, it is a T5. I have never tried to take the whole phone apart, but I do change the faceplates(the easy part) which requires to take out the 4 screws around the LCD.

and yes T5 torx.

Also have you contacted Cingular about the dust problem on your Razr?
