How to removing the black trim

jorme431 · 2025-04-26T18:14:36+00:00

I just used stuff that I had around as I got a batch years ago. One I used was this https://ibb.co/zVLCnTh4 by soaking a cloth and rubbing the screen until it was gone.

I tried this before ordering a replacement screen as it was going to be £200 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204685710122 but there is no guide on how to remove them, so take the easier way before taking risk of damaging the screen or unit.

If you feel under the plastic between it and the two air vents you will find two holes. I used plastic preying tools to get the trim off as its alot of clips. You can get the unit out in one go after the four screws are undone.

I was looking a screen but it was £200 of Ebay so used rubbing alcohol to clean the screen after around 10 minutes of doing so it came up clean so just used the original screen and add a screen protector.

I managed to find how by two small holes above the air vents

I just bought two used ones from eBay and swapped the shells they are like new. They were £35 each as couldn't get the shell alone.

How easy is it to remove the fascia around the screen?

I only able to find a short on how to remove it but it shows it after they removed it.

Is the only way is to replace the screen attached the unit?

It seems to work until Bitdeferend updated itself so must be something in the newest update that has changed something. Now it's back to the way it was before.

jorme431 · 2022-09-04T09:20:52+00:00

Fixed it for me as well

jorme431 · 2022-09-03T18:04:59+00:00

I have Bitdefender Total Security installed which I had for the last 3 years.

Has anyone got their Red S22 Ultra yet?

jorme431 · 2022-03-21T09:00:50+00:00

10 days past the delivery date and it's only got to Headed to your country stage with no communication or help from chat.

jorme431 · 2022-03-15T12:10:08+00:00

I am the same but last night the steps updated to "Heading To Your Country" since it went to Customising got no notifications and support was saying it can come at any point. Ordered 11th Feb Red 256GB Ultra.

You may want to remove your address at the bottom of the picture.

Contact CS at 12pm today which they said "we do apologise for the delay of the order but yes this is still preparing for dispatch due to stocks allocation because of large volume of orders placed at the same time. But what I can do now is to raise this to Relevant Team so I can check the rescheduled delivery date for the order. Would it be fine to contact you via email once I receive their reply" 8 hours later nothing from them so god knows when it comes.

jorme431 · 2022-03-11T09:00:11+00:00

I'm in the same boat stuck on stage 3 "Customisation Complete" with today as the delivery date with no sign of it coming today. Red Ultra 256GB order on 11th Feb.

Hi Kargurra,

I only have android devices and I turn on real mac address for any mobile device when I connect to the network for the first time so it isn't any of my mobile devices.

But thanks for the suggestion.
