Tools required for disassembly: Torx 5 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a credit card or guitar plectrum,
small flat head screwdriver or nail scissors or something similar.
- First remove the battery cover, battery, memory card and stylus.
Remove the two circled screws (one will be covered with a white warranty
sticker).

- Next pull the camera cover up. Some force is required.

- Your phone will now look like below. Now remove the two screws you
can see. The battery compartment of the phone can now be removed.

- Next you need to detach the circled ribbon connector. There is a black
latch where the ribbon attaches. Flip this up (from right to left) and
then simply pull the ribbon out. Pay attention to how the ribbon
attaches.

- Now lift the circuit board from right to left and detach the ribbon
connector, circled below, in the same way you did the previous one.

- Now push something like a watchmakers screwdriver with a flat head
or one arm of a pail of nail scissors into the circled slots to lever
away the clips that hold the front cover on.

- The front cover has now been removed and you have access to the LCD
screen.

-
The screen is held in place with double sided tape. Pry the screen away from the
rest of the phone, as shown below.

-
You have now removed the LCD screen. Reverse the whole procedure for
reassembly.
