Tools required for disassembly: Phillips screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar
plectrum or credit card.
- Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Seven screws
need to be removed. The screw circled in white is a different size to
the others so make sure it goes back in the right place.
- Run something like a credit card around the join of the battery
compartment to release it from the rest of the phone.
- With the battery compartment removed your phone should look like
below. A number of ribbon connectors (circled)
need to be disconnected. Each attaches like a plug and socket. Just
lever each one up to unplug. The power button, indicated by the arrow, is stuck to the side of the phone's housing and should be carefully lifted away, being careful not to damage it. Do not try to disconnect it from the circuit board you just need to make sure it's not stuck to the side of the phone. You'll now be able to remove the circuit
board simply by lifting it away from the rest of the phone.
- With the circuit board removed your phone should look like below.
The hands free socket and earpiece, circled below, can now be lifted
away from the phone. The part is held in place with a little double
sided tape and will peel away with little force.
- With the hands free socket and earpiece removed your phone should
look like below. The ringer, circled below left, needs to be levered
away from the phone. It's held in place with double sided tape. Just use
your screwdriver to carefully lever it up. It will still be connected by
two wires. Be careful not the damage these two wires. Two more ribbon connectors (circled
centre and right)
also need to be disconnected. Each attaches like a plug and socket. Just
lever each one up to unplug.
- Now slide something like a credit card between the front and back of
the phone and carefully lever the phone apart.
- Your phone should now look like below. The next stage is to remove
the screen. To do so first heat the front of the screen around its edge
with a hot air gun or hairdryer. Then push the back of the screen from
the point indicated by the arrow. The screen should then raise slightly
on the other side, enough for your to slide your plastic tool under
its edge and separate it from the silver frame.
-
With the screen assembly removed your phone should look like below.
Now simply replace your damaged screen with new and reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
