haha red water sticker.. had a user bring me his saying it doesnt work anymore. I asked did you drop or get it wet.. No he replied. I opened up the back and saw the red sticker and said ahhh yes you did.. They always try that.. Red means it got wet somehow.

Very nice resource! Hope I never have to open up my 8700g, but if I must, I'll be consulting this guide. Well done!

Mine is red and really didn't get wet - seriously. We had a week of heavy rain and although the phone was dry, I think the high humidity turned the indicator red.
The placement of this indicator is giving false positives. There needs to be another one deeper in the guts of the phone. |

That was the worst walkthrough I've ever seen.
You left out few important things and suggest using a dentist pick/ice pick as a pry tool? Are you mad?
I'm definitely going to redo this and post up soon.

Just curious if anyone knows where to buy a repacement outer shell if I were to want to replace mine.
I bought my 8700g used. Its in fairly good condition but there is some noticable wear along the sides. If I can get another shell on the cheap I may be tempted to take mine apart and swap them out.

I have taken apart and assembled many 8700 devices using the T6 and a flat head screwdriver to replace the housing (sometimes just the front). Unfortunately, there always seems to be minor unsightly damage (on the back) as a result of using the screwdriver to unhinge the back cover. The "prying device" you have pictured.....where can I find such a tool? Thanks.

I have the same problem on mine too. The battery sticker is completely normal though. |
