That guide will cover you everything you need to do the swap. Just take your time and don't rush. Use extra care when working around the LCD

Do a search for Panter88 on ebay. This seller has cases for all models of the XTS for a reasonable price with the electronics. If someone can confirm, there may be two different types of connectors for the ribbon cable. My M3 has the 40? pin D connector and my replacement case that I purchased from this guy looks brand new. I was in your boat and went from yellow to black.

Good luck.

That's correct, panter88 sells revision "B" cases. So make so your sticker on the back plate ends in "BN" for the model number and you'll be fine. The "A" revision has a white connector vs the B revisions black one.

I've ordered 3 cases from panter, and they all work great, and I've gotten them in about a week and a half from Hong Kong.

Panter's stuff is top notch, his housings are complete with stickers and clean- shipping usually takes 7-10 days- he's much cheaper than Moto and other Ebay sellers.
