Introduction

The front panel is a single piece of plastic covering the motherboard, the earpiece speaker, the buttons, and the LCD display. It's the piece that holds the phone together. If you need to replace any of the components inside of this device, or you just want to replace the front panel itself, you'll need to start with this guide.
