Guest mandt Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 You gotta love T-Mobile for their brushed metal screen surrounds, as it makes removing their 'artwork' so much easier. As with the original Vario gently rub in the direction of the grain with a copper coin to remove that lovely pink from under the screen..... Five minutes later - much better ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandt Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 You know I thought about this, and if you feel the paint with your fingernail I think it would come off. but the plastic button underneath may scratch if you took a coin to it, maybe a sugarcube would be better for this. Try it on yours and if it scratches I won't risk mine ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FloatingFatMan Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) The WnW button is backlit. Try to scratch it of and you'll remove the silvered paint from the clear plastic leaving an ugly splotch of light there instead...

Guest mandt Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yeah I think you're right, that had occurred to me as well. I also wondered on the possibility of changing the buttons for the TyTN II ones, no easy job that one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandt Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dummy units maybe?, or wait 'til there's some replacement parts on ebay On further inspection of the W 'n' W button if you look closely the two Ws are indeed 'holes' in the silver paint, and the red square in the middle with the n is painted on, probably with another hole in the silver paint underneath it so remove the badge and it might say 'wow' ;) but it probably will look crap!

Guest xtreme__boi Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 As with the original Vario gently rub in the direction of the grain with a copper coin to remove that lovely pink from under the screen..... WOW, I just tired it with a 2p coin. First started on the "MDA" bit, and literally came off within seconds. Now moving onto the "T-Mobile" bit, and again came off in seconds! RESULT!

Guest Mr Alom Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 :D Thanks mandt, :( You're a man with lots of talent!!! I've done that when you first assigned this thread last year but is there a way of removing the pink bit of W&W, I've notice it's painted silver and didn't touch it because I might ruin the painwork of the keypad.

Guest andrewkeith5 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 taking the paint off would ruin the keypad - but what you can do is to find a generic keypad and put it in place of the varios. as they are basially the same layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll search for the keypads on eBay. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shootydogthing Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 apparently people who've tried have found the replacement awful to use... I actually prefer the Vario III ones... And I did this today, it's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 ^^I'm in that club^^ Changed the buttons for the default ones, hated 'em and stuck the originals back in. Search for my thread 'I nearly took my Kaiser apart' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
