messenger kit is just the same as changing the rol.

toadzilla · « **Reply #3 on:** February 15, 2010, 12:59:12 PM »

Is there a tutorial to do it because taking the keys apart is hard, and putting it back together is hard.

treemty:Next time please post in actual english

Modded Matt · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2010, 06:47:09 AM »

I havent seen a tut but its not hard atall. I think there are only 5 screws.

toadzilla · « **Reply #5 on:** February 17, 2010, 08:25:41 PM »

i know i`ve taken it apart to paint it red but what i mean is when i went to check under the the keys i ahd a hard time putting them back together

I've never seen a tut for the messenger kit, but maybe I'll make one up for it this weekend, I've been wanting to do this since I got my messenger a few weeks ago...

the key boad is a seperat unit, if I remeber correctly it comes out of the shell then has a cover with all the holes, and then the button pad with all the letter buttons, then the actual via pads themselves. you just have to pry it apart. its plastic snap clips. this is all from memory, and beer clouds that lol.

I guess I wasted my time and space on my camera's mem card working on this today...

Oh, and you may want to edit the 'parts/tools needed' section... it's a T6 not T8...

toadzilla · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2010, 07:25:10 PM »

nooo i was saying thank you to you i was just asking mod if the led site ships to canada so i can buy them to do it

jrfhoutx · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2010, 07:47:25 PM »

actually, I meant that I wasted my time cause I actually wrote up a nearly identical tut, but I didn't write the article in that link, treemty did... before I posted anything I checked here and saw the link treemty posted. So treemty is the one you should be thanking...

Modded Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2010, 04:22:41 AM »

no problem, matt. I might still write it up when I have time this weekend...

treemty · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:06:19 PM »

lol. also, jrf, thanks for pointing out my mistake, I wrote T6 in the tut, but T8 in the "parts needed". Was thinking about xbox controllers I guess.

jrfhoutx · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:08:46 PM »

no prob man, you can also note that if a T6 is not available you can use a .050mm hex key/allen wrench will also work to remove those T6 screws.

toadzilla · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2010, 10:38:21 PM »

um i was woundering does anyone know anything about the xcm green(apple) silk like casing cause i seem to be having alot of problems

bradleyh · « **Reply #22 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:05:29 AM »

you have to peel back the white plastic layer also, or else you might ruin your board. a bit of advice, dont mess with the 3 point smds. only the 0603s. and you can get cheap ones from buyledsonline.com for 6 cents a light.

toadzilla · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:12:32 PM »

hey how do u peel back the white thing is it that easy

bradleyh · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2010, 02:44:31 PM »

yeah, al you need to do is get a finger nail under it and peel her back. but SAVE IT. the chat pad wont work without it. you can re apply it after your done with the smds. just try to be accurate.

toadzilla · « **Reply #25 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:57:09 PM »

dude u got msn ill add u and this way if i got trouble with ill message u
