If you require a new screen, phone cover and screwdrivers, they can be purchased
here:
http://www.formymobile.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=g1lcd
Tools required: Torx 5 screwdriver, Torx 6 screwdriver, Philips size 00 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar
plectrum or credit card.
- Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Now remove the
four torx 5 screws, circled in red, and the torx 6 screw, circled in
blue.
- Run something like a credit card around the join of the battery
compartment to release it.
- Your phone should look like
below. Remove the two screws circled at the top of the phone and lever
off the connectors at the opposite end of the two wires, also circled in
red.
- Your phone should now look like below. The large connector, circled
at the bottom of the phone, needs to be detached. This attaches like a
plug and socket. Just lever it up to unplug. The other circled connector
attaches in a different way. Remove the orange sticky tape, flick the black latch up and then slide the
orange ribbon away from the phone. Now push the green circuit board at
the bottom of the phone in the direction of the arrow. You should feel
it click and release.
- Lift the green circuit board up and after removing the sticky silver
foil (this can be thrown away) you have access two more ribbon
connectors. Each attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever them away
from the circuit board to unplug.
- Another ribbon needs to be disconnected. Peel the orange sticky tape
away, flick the black latch up and then slide the orange ribbon away
from the phone. The circuit board will now be free.
- Your phone should now look like below. Remove the four small screws,
circled in white and the two longer screws, circled in red. Now push
your small screwdriver into the two gaps circled in blue. Be firm. This
will release the phone control part (trackball, on/off button etc) on
the other side of the phone.
-
Pry the user control part off and you phone will look like below. Now
lift the screen away from the rest of the phone.
-
You phone should now look like below. On the reverse side of the screen
(pictured below, left) there are four screws. Two small screws, circled
in white, a larger screw circled in blue and another large screw
opposite (move the arm of the slider across to access this screw).
-
Pry the phone apart, as shown below.
- Your phone should now look like below.
-
Lift the metal part from right to left. It will still be connected by
three ribbons on the underside of this part.
- You now have access three more ribbon connectors. The two at the
bottom attach like a plug and socket. Just lever them away from the
phone to unplug. To detach the orange ribbon, remove the orange sticky
tape, flick the black latch up and then slide the ribbon out.
-
Your phone should now look like below. Peel away the silver foil
indicated by the arrow. This is not needed so don't worry about damaging it
but be careful because the ribbons it is stuck to can tear. Also remove
the speaker, circled in blue.
- With the foil removed your phone should look like below. Another
ribbon connector needs to be released (circled). To remove, flick the
black latch up and then slide the orange ribbon out. Now use your credit
card to lever the screen out. Start at the top then slide the screen out
in the direction indicated by the arrows.
-
You should now have the LCD screen removed. Reverse the whole procedure
for reassembly.
