I was practically given a white G1 off a friend when he got his my touch. The housing was horribly scratched and looked like a dog had chewed on it. So I bought the all white UK version of the G1 off of eBay and attempted to swap housings. I knew it looked pretty tough but as long as I made sure I took my time and made sure my connections were solid I'd be ok. My first attempt to power up gave me a solid black screen. I disassembled everything, even the lcd, this time much faster, and made sure all connections were secure. Second power on attempt...it works. Made sure all buttons trackball, and most importantly touchscreen worked. Perfect! Went to test the camera. Force Close. Went back to my camera connection and made sure it was secure this time. Third power on attempt. Voilą! Everthing works. Only thing I notice That is different is the LED is a tad bit dimmer then it was previously. Other than that all I have to say is if you attempt this don't be discouraged, back track and MAKE SURE all of your connections are secure! Good Luck!
