Tools required: Torx 6 screwdriver, Philips size 0 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar
plectrum or credit card.
- Remove your back cover, battery, sim, memory card and stylus.

- Run something like a credit card around the join of the cover at the
bottom of the phone.

- Your phone should look like
below. Remove the screw you now have access to then lift the part away
that the screw was holding in place.

- You should now have access to two more screws. Remove these screws. There are two more screws, circled at the other end of the phone, which are covered. Lever off the covers then remove these two screws.

- Run your plastic tool around the join of the battery compartment,
all the way round the phone.

- Your phone should now look like below. Remove the piece of tape
(circled) giving you access to a plug and socket type connector. Slide
the connector out.

-
Below is a close up of the connector once it has been disconnected.
Remove the screw, top right of the phone

-
Now lift away the antenna. A connector (circled, top right) need to be
detached. This attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up to
unplug. Clips around the edge of the phone hold the green circuit board
in place. Pull these back a little to release the circuit board.

-
The circuit board will still be attached by a ribbon connector. Remove
the orange tape then lever the connector away from the circuit board.

- Your phone should now look like below. Remove the four circled
screws and you can lift away the keyboard part of the phone.

-
Your phone should now look like below. Four more screws need to be
removed. Two screws will be covered with sticky rubber covers. Just peel
these off.

- Run your plastic tool around the join of the housing to split into
into two halves.

-
Your phone should now look like below. Peel away as much of the silver
foil as possible. This is not needed so don't worry about damaging it
but be careful because the ribbons it is stuck to can tear.

- With the foil removed your phone should look like below. Another
ribbon connector needs to be released (circled). This attaches in a
different way to the previous ones. Flick the black latch up and then
pull the orange ribbon out.

-
You can now lift the set of ribbons away from the phone, as shown below.
You can use double sided tape to hold these ribbons in place when you
reassemble the phone. Peel back the four circled stickers and the LCD
screen and digitizer (one part) will be loose.

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