If you require a new screen, phone cover and screwdrivers, they can be purchased
here:
http://www.formymobile.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=z10lcd
Tools required: Torx 5 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card.
- Remove the battery cover, battery and the two screws, circled below.
- Unclip the microphone cover (just lever it out with your fingernail) to
reveal two more screws. Remove these screws.
- With the two screws removed in the above step you can remove the mic.
- Lift the battery compartment away from the rest of the phone and you'll
see it's attached by a ribbon.
The ribbon connects like a plug and socket. Simply lever it away to
unplug.
- Your phone should now look like below.
- Pull the green circuit board away from the phone and you'll see it's attached by
another ribbon.
Again, the ribbon connects like a plug and socket. Simply lever it away
to unplug.
- You now have access to two more ribbons (circled) which connect just
like the others. Disconnect them.
-
You should now have the circuit board removed. Next remove the two black screws at the top of the phone,
circled below.
-
Starting near the top of the phone, run your credit card around the join of the front cover, where the silver
metal part meets it, to release the front cover. The front cover will
still be attached at the bottom and needs to be pushed in the direction
of the arrow. (Note that when you put the front cover back on you'll
have to slide it on at the bottom first).
The front cover will still be connected by a ribbon so you won't be able
to remove it completely just yet.
-
You should be able to move the cover to the side slightly to access two
screws, one on either side of the phone. Pay careful attention to these
screws before removing them. They hold two brass coloured clips in place
which will pop out when you remove the screws. Just make a mental note
of their position for when you put the phone back together.
-
The front cover will be loose now. Below you can also see which way
round the brass clips go.
-
You can now remove the ribbon which is attached to the top half of the
phone/LCD screen (circled). Again it attaches like a plug and socket.
-
Detach the ribbon circled below. Again it attaches like a plug and
socket.
-
You can now lift the ribbon shown below away from the phone.
-
Slide your plastic tool under the edge of the LCD screen to release it.
It will be held in place lightly with double sided tape.
-
You should now have the LCD screen removed. Reverse the whole procedure for
reassembly.
