When I sent mine in to Samsung for repair of a wifi issue, it came back slightly cracked near the power jack. By the look of the screws, it appeared they opened it up, or at least tried to. lol But in the end, all they did was hard reset it and put the same firmwire on it that I had just put on before. When I sent it in a second time, they just sent me a whole new phone, minus the battery cover and sim card. So I guess perhaps it isn't very easy to replace the boards in these things, or to get in them for that matter. lol

You said you need to replace the housing? Well where do you plan on getting this housing from? I don't see them on ebay anywhere like I have seen in the past for other phones. I'm asking this because if you had the new housing in hand, couldn't you just look at that to see what is keeping it together?

The "new" phone Samsung sent me is brand-spanking new, and I didn't pay a dime for it. But then again, the old one I sent back was it pretty good shape except for that new crack they made. Unfortunately the only place it has a really slight scratch is on it is the battery cover, and they didn't send me a new one of those. lol I'm sure they just tossed it aside or threw it away. =/ But I did get a second stylus out of the deal, which they forgot to take out. So if I could find a source for a new battery cover, that would be great.
