Please don't underestimate the amount of experience and skills it needs to do 
SMD-soldering!
Anyway http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/GSM_EMI_noise/ is the place to go and 
have a look at files named bigC*
Probably if you take a printout of big-C_rework_SOP_rc2.pdf to next cellphone 
repair shop, and bring your (preferably already disassembled and prepared 
[protect screen, remove mic-rubber]) FR, they can do the job in 30min. Maybe 
you need to find the components prior to that. In US I think Steve could send 
them to you.

A7 revision is bigC-buzzfixed by default, A6 is shipping now with buzzfix 
rework afaik.
