Tools required: Phillips size 0 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card, suction cup, needle/drawing pin/paperclip or something similar.
- First push something like a paper clip into the hole at the top of the phone. This will release the sim holder.
- With the sim holder removed, your phone will look like below.
- At the other end of the phone you'll see two screws. Remove these screws.
- Now attach a suction cup near the bottom of the screen but don't push it on too hard as that could damage the screen. Now hold the bottom of the phone in one hand and slowly pull the suction cup towards you with the other hand. The screen will lift up but will still be attached by three ribbon cables.
- You can now access a number of ribbon cables. The two circled attach like a plug and socket. Just lever up the connectors up to unplug them.
- The next ribbon connector (circled) has a black latch that you flick up to release the ribbon. You can then separate the two parts of the phone.
- Your phone should now look like below.
- Remove the screws on each side of the screen.
- The screws on the other side will be covered by a piece of sticky tape which you'll need to remove.
- Now remove the screw circled in the picture below.
- Slide something like a credit card under the LCD screen to release it.
- You should now have the LCD screen removed. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
