Edit Step 1 — Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Teardown ¶

Turn Off the phone :), Remove back cover, battery and simcard + sd card from the phone!

Edit Step 2 ¶

Behind the battery, you will have to remove the CE sticker!
Remove from Sim-tray and down, it wont break.

Edit Step 3 ¶

Remove 7 bolts.
Release clickholders, 5 pcs (green). The back should lift up from the surround.
Release from the bottom up.
Be careful around the camera, as theres a Flex cable right under it, attatched to the logicboard.

Edit Step 4 ¶

Release the Flex cable by lifting the lower end off the logic board, and lift off the back assembly.

Edit Step 5 ¶

Remove the logic/motherboard.
Push the motherboard from the keypad side, it should pop out
Be careful with:
- the small clips...
- ...and the rubber USB port plug :)
Start loosening the board from the end with the 2 red circles.

Edit Step 6 ¶

Release Screen flexcable + lift off of adhesive under flexcable!
Remove 7 bolts (black ones), holding the slide/screen in place.

Edit Step 7 ¶

Remove 3 bolts, top right one is covered, look carefully
The Green line, shows where to flick the slide off of the screen assembly!
Easiest way: is to flick it at the top, where you removed 2 bolts. It will come off, pretty easy.

Edit Step 8 ¶

Once slide is removed, you got access to LCD and touch assembly. Easily remove the small flexcable from touch to LCD and take off LCD.
Only the Touch screen is left -> next.
