PART 3 8700 FULL RE-ASSEMBLY...
This part is the hard part for several reasons. First, you are assembling the new replacement shell and DO NOT want to damage the screen area on both sides, nor do you want to break any connecting clips.
Once you've juggled the new mid-case and old electronics-body together, or perhaps you are re-using the old mid-case...I'll insert a note here because I can sense that questions about re-using the old original mid-case will come.
NOTE: YOU CAN RE-USE THE OLD ORIGINAL MID-CASE FROM THE 8700g TO THE NEW 8700v SHELL BODY.
YES, IT WILL FIT AND
I RECOMMEND DOING SO SINCE IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND YOU WILL HAVE KEPT ALL YOUR IMPORTANT IMEI STICKER INFO THAT CAME ON YOUR ORIGINAL MID-CASE (under the battery)!
...so all you do it connect the mid case to the front case first, then screw the 4 mid-case screws in, then connect the rear case and screw the 3 rear case screws in.
Once you are done this insert sim card, battery and close battery case and viola you got yourself a BRAND NEW Berry for less than $30!
