When dismantling any phone, great care should be taken to ensure that no damage is caused to any of the parts. Rough handling may result in severe damage of many parts, and if proper anti-static procedures are not followed, electrostatic damage may result in any electronic component.
Before commencing, it is recommended that the correct tools are purchased for the job in hand - at the very least, you will require a Torx T6 screwdriver..
Step 1. Remove the back cover, and SIM card that is present, and the MMC card (by pressing the latch shown in the second picture below.
Step 2. Remove the front fascia starting at the base of the phone, and moving on to the sides.
Step 3. Remove the six Torx T6 screws in the order shown below.
Step 4. With the screws removed, you can simply lift away the keyguide and screen.
Step 5. To remove the screen from the keyguide, release the clip shown below.
Step 6. The picture below shows the light guide being removed from the key guide, both of which are simply clipped together.
Step 7. To remove the metal frame from the key guide, use a flat bladed screwdriver to release it at both sides.
Step 8. With the metal frame removed, the ear piece can be lifted from the frame using tweezers, but caution should be exercised to ensure no damage is caused.
Step 9. Moving back to the main body of the phone, the main circuit board can be listed out from the main chassis.
Step 10. The aerial can be removed using either your fingers, or a pair of tweezers.
Step 11. The MMC retaining clip can be removed using tweezers.
Step 12. The power and volume keys simply slot in place and are easily removed using tweezers.
Step 13. The power jack and line-in jack are again simply clipped in place and can be easily removed using your fingers.
Step 14. As with most Nokia phones, the vibra motor is held in place by friction and is easily prised from the main chassis.
Step 15. Use your fingers to remove the IHF-lid.
Step 16. Remove the fun key in the same manner as you removed the volume keys..
Step 17. The last item to remove is the speaker. Take note that this is held in place using double sided tape which cannot usually be re used, so bear this in mind before you remove the speaker.
Step 18. Reassembly is a simple reversal of the above steps taking extra time to ensure that everything works as it should, and that you have caused no damage whilst inside the handset.
