Introduction
Is your display screen cracked or not operating correctly? Replace it by following these steps.
What you need
-
-
Once the battery pack is removed from the phone, remove the five indicated screws with a size #00 Philips screwdriver.
-
Bend back the antenna to access the indicated left middle screw in order to unscrew it.
-
Do not forget to unscrew the indicated screw on the top left corner of the phone as it will be difficult in further steps to take the phone apart if this screw is left in.
-
-
-
Place the phone on its side.
-
Insert the small plastic opening tool into the slot that runs along the side of the phone.
-
Slowly pry open the phone by working your way around the edges of the phone with the opening tool.
-
There are tabs that run the entire length of the phone which hold the phone together and you may need a significant amount of force to pry the phone apart.
-
During this step, the side volume key may fall out; this is okay.
-
-
-
-
To start, remove the two highlighted sticky covers using the blue prying tool or your finger. Prying off the stickers allows access to the screws underneath.
-
Slide the tool or your fingernail under the stickers and they should come off with relative ease.
-
-
-
Next, insert a plastic opening tool into the crack that runs along the side of the phone display under the screws. Doing so will start lift the display screen.
-
Once you have the display cover open, use your fingers to pry the whole outside cover off. Only do so to the top half of the phone.
-
Set the outside display cover aside. The two separate parts should look like the third picture.
-
-
-
Carefully wedge a plastic opening tool between the hinge on the body of the phone.
-
Slowly pry the hinge from the body, as shown in the second picture. Set the phone down after when finished with this step.
-
Next, slide the connector cable out of the slot on the back side of the phone and the screen will be disconnected from the key pad body.
-
