Repairing Palm Treo 680 LCD Screen and Touch Screen

Step 1 Battery



• Remove the battery cover by pressing on the small rectangular button located on the back of the phone.
Step 2

• Remove the battery by pulling it out towards you.
Step 3 Back Panel
• Remove the stylus in order to access the screw.
• Remove the 27mm top-left screw using a T6 Torx screwdriver.
Step 4
• Using the spudger, remove the rubber rectangular cover located in the upper rear, right-hand corner.
• Remove the 27mm screw using the T6 Torx screwdriver.
• If there is a red Palm sticker covering this screw, puncture it to access the screw.
Step 5
• Remove the remaining two 27mm screws from the bottom using the T6 screwdriver.
Step 6
• Turn the phone so the screen is facing the right side.
• Use a spudger to carefully separate the back panel from the front panel to access components inside the phone.
• Separate the covers from the left side of the device as indicated in the picture.
• The right side contains orange ribbons that are easily damaged.
Step 7 LCD Screen and Touch Screen
• Take the front the pannel and notice that the screen is attached by a piece of silver tape.
• Using a pair of tweezers, carefully peel off this piece of silver tape.
• Remove the screen from the front pannel.
Step 8
• Obtain a small metal spudger and flip up the 2 tiny plastic flaps that hold the tiny orange ribbons in place.
• Do the same thing for the other flap on the opposite side.
Step 9
• Flip the screen over a 180 degrees and take off the metal piece that cushions the screen.
• Flip the screen over another a 180 degrees and place pressure on the bottom ribbon (Where my left thumb is).
• Slightly Pull apart the touch screen from the LCD screen by placing your thumbs where my thumbs are. DO NOT PULL THE TWO SCREENS COMPLETELY APART YET.
• This part is tricky and might take some maneuvering and a little bit of force, but it is possible.
Step 10
• Move your thumbs to the other corner of the screen and repeat the same procedure in step 9.
• Carefully peel the touch screen away from the LCD screen.
• Now you should have both the touch screen and LCD screen detached from one another.
