How do you take off the Wizards housing? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories

Hello,
I ordered a new full set housing for my Cingular 8125 and it should come in the next week or two. When I get it, whats the best way to remove the original housing?

---

I have absoluteley no Idea how to change the housing, but don't forget to make pictures while you change.
Thanks,
Andre

Where did you get the new housing and is it different from the original one?

The 8125 wizard casing is all over ebay but some sellers charge upto $90 for it! You should find dissassembly instructions in the service manual on the FTP site. I have the MDA vario wizard casing ( no stubby aeriel ) listed on ebay under id fluffcat1.

I too would like to change my 8125 housing. I dropped mine the day after I bought it. I think the stock case was my problem. I hate tucking it in and out of that thing. I have another one coming and want to get another housing.
GSXR_6:
Where can I locate the FTP site. Sorry, I'm new and this is my first post.
I also thought of reworking the color of the housing once the warranty is passed.

Here we go, 3rd attempt (having issues with attaching file.)
HTC Wizard WIZA200 housing with MDA T-MOBILE written on bottom left and right:
Ebay Item Number 130005148788
2 more housings (almost double the price of previous) with T-MOBILE written on bottom center:
Ebay Item Number 9733402561
Ebay Item Number 9141941613
And the attached service manual is the one from the FTP just renamed from Prodigy to Wiard so i could locate it easier on my pc.
Also when disassembling your device watch out for the clips, i've broken a total of like 4 or 5 on my device, although when all put back together it is good as new.
ok, stupid thing doesn't want to attach.go to the Wiki of this site and theres an ftp tutorial of how to get to it.

Can someone please link me to the ftp page where I can download the instructions on how to replace my wizard's housing? I can't find it on the ftp site.

That's my auction
They are both original BTW, mine are t-mobile UK 'MDA vario' cases and Che_sir's are US spec - the only difference being the placing of the logos.
I only have limited quantities ( 2 left for now) and che_sir seems to have loads of 'em.
Che_sir also has digitisers and other parts that I simply cannot get hold of :-(
But I'm cheaper

HAHA, I think i messaged you on ebay asking about other parts for the wizard. Well i might have to buy one of the cases, depending on the damaged wizard i just bought on ebay for parts. We'll see.

Cingular 8125 & T-Mobile MDA
Even though these 2 are the varient from Wizard, but is the housing interchangable? What I mean is buying a Cingular housing for T-Mobile MDA. Is there a good place to buy T-Mobile MDA housing other than ebay? Thanks!! 8)

Check the FTP.

Disassembly of the 8125 (Dopod 838 case) is a little bit different from the Tmobile mda (Qtek 9100) casing. I still haven't found instructions for the 8125 but for the mda, its on the ftp site.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread but anybody ever find a manual or figure out how to do it? Debating whether or not to get a new housing or purchase a clear case and paint it...

That's the service manual for the Wiza200... we're looking for the service manual for the Wiza100...
Disassembling is different between the two models...

i didn't realize the that the 8125 was the wiza 100 (and it looks imo)
how different can it be, is it not just the shape of the housing, meaning the clips and principles must be same/similar
anyway here is another guide to disassembly (actually the stylus fix) still of the wiza200 but the pictures may be clearer if it may help
