Re: DIY Black battery cover

WOWOWOWWOWO!!!!

I am a happy geek.

Followed the instructions on the first page of this post to a T.

Excellent results.

A few caveats:
  • Make sure the stove is on between 4-5.
  • Make sure the water comes to a uniform heat (very slight/light steam)
  • USE GLOVES!!!
  • Take out the back first
  • Leave the stylus in there for a min of 5 min longer (it needed it)
  • Rinse and dry as stated
  • YOU MUST BUFF (See pic)
  • When buffing I used paper towels
  • Some color WILL COME OFF when you buff so use paper towels or a cloth you don't care about (See pic)
  • Use your fingers to buff suborn areas
  • Make SURE you buff the inside of the clear plastic where the camera hole is!
  • Buff the strip of clear plastic down the middle
  • Remove stylus WITH A METAL SPOON!!! It'll stick to it because it's magnetized. (I lost it in the murky water!)
I'm so happy right now!!!

I used a sharpie to do the USB area. We'll see if it holds.
