MOD/FIX: back cover off does not turn streak off

[Guest tomqman]

reason for my mod: back cover kept coming of in my pocket resulting in streak off and me missing very important calls.

ease of mod: very easy

instructions: follow this guide up until you have the back part of the case off. then locate the lever at the bottom near a ribbon cable. use a tiny amount of hot glue to hold it down. then resemble the streak.

check my pictures out

location of lever

glued down hard to see in photo

proof that it works

Good work, however i achieved the same thing just now by putting a tiny tiny piece of paper in that slot and it works perfectly, thanks for starting the idea though!!! Its nice to be able to take the cover off and swap cards now :)

it would be very hard to take a picture of this method.

i'll try & explain it tho....

look at the very first picture in this thread, observe the location of the red circle

you'll see the lever is on the outside edge of the device.

when you take the back cover off your steak you'll notice the little hooks that hold the cover on

one of these hooks (the one that matches up with where the red cricle is on the picture) despresses a small lever that is not visibile with the streak assembled

you need to use card to wedge this level in place - to replicate the cover being in place

the piece of crad you use should be very thin (i used a flyer)

i cut mine into a V shape, so that the hook on the battery cover can still fit in there (the hook on the cover fits into the well of the V shape)

do note that if you f this up, you'll almost certainly have to take apart the streak to get the card out...

the card will be approx 5mm long & 2-3mm high

worked for me, :huh:

cheers

thanks for the guide Adzman! :rolleyes:

so i should put the tiny card into the hole right.. sounds easy but risky.. hmm :huh:

[Guest adzman808]

yup tiny bit of card inside of the tiny hole that the back cover hook slips into

i used a pin to guide the card in!
