Nokia Lumia 610 Touchscreen Glass / Digitizer Assembly Replacement

Introduction

This repair is very easy; all you need is a T5 Torx Screwdriver, and a new Digitizer Glass & Frame Assebly - it's better to order it with the Front Frame as well, as it makes repairing a lot simpler, and will give your phone a new look and feel.

    • After removing all 8 screws, proceed to prying off the back cover

    • This is done very easily, by prying it from the 3 grooves depicted

    • This step might also be done using your nails, as the clips are not strong at all

    • Lift the back cover up, and pull it back - most likely, the 2 sided tape sealing the camera module will be the last thing to break loose

    • Make sure you stick it back to the rear case assembly after this step

    • To detach the LCD, gently lift it from the sides - be careful, and don't pull too hard on the ribbon cable !

    • It's secured in with pretty weak double-sided tape, so this step shouldn't be a problem

    • Remove the ear-piece speaker from the Digitizer Assembly

    • It's held in by - again - pretty weak double-sided tape
