  • Your phone should now look like below. Remove the screws you can see. Three ribbon cables need disconnecting (circled in red). Each ribbon attaches with a zif connector. This kind of connector has a latch which opens and closes on a hinge. When the latch is open the ribbon cable can be slid in and out of its connector. The two ribbons in the middle of the phone have tape over them. Remove the tape and then disconnect the ribbons. Also disconnect the small ribbon circled near the bottom of the phone.
