  • With the battery compartment removed your phone should look like below. Three ribbon connectors (circled in white) need to be disconnected. Each attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever each one up to unplug. Next, remove the five circled screws. The two at the bottom are black and a different length from the other three. Remember this when you put the phone back together.

  • Now pry away the front cover and your phone will look like below. The sim card reader and speaker will also come away. The ringer, indicated by the arrow, is attached to the circuit board by wires but stuck in place with double sided tape. Lever it up with your screwdriver, making sure not to break to wires connecting it to the circuit board.

  • Lift the circuit board away and the camera will also come loose, as shown below. Two ribbons, circled in red, need disconnecting. This type of connector is called a zif connector. The black part is a latch which opens and closes on a hinge. Flick the latch up, towards the ribbon, and you can then pull each ribbon out of its socket.
