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. Protect the screen with a film or similar.
Step 2. Remove the battery cover.
Step 3. Place a shim between the top cap and D cover and unlock the top cap as shown below.
Step 4. Now twist the top cap as shown below and remove it from the handset.
Step 5. Use your shim to unlock the front fascia.
Step 6. Lift the front fascia away.
Step 7. Remove the key mat.
Step 8. Remove the six screws in the order shown below and store them safely.
Step 9. Use your shim to raise the guts of the handset slightly and then remove them from the main chassis.
Step 10. Lift the shielding slightly and remove the light guide.
Step 11. Use a (blunt) shim to open the board connector.
Step 12. Use your shim to unlock the LCD module.
Step 13. Protect the LCD screen with a film or similar.
Step 14. Remove the two locking clips.
Step 15. Use tweezers to remove the acoustic channel.
Step 16. The internal hands free assembly should simply drop out of the chassis.
Step 17. Use an unplugged charger to remove the power jack and easy flash connector.
Step 18. Remove the microphone with a small flat bladed screwdriver.
Step 19. 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.
