Sidekick II Outer Casing Replacement

Step 1 Outer Casing

• Use the plastic opening tool to remove the 4 buttons on each corner of the Sidekick.
• Gently pry open button and remove button.
• Do this for each of the 3 buttons remaining.
Step 2



• The bumpers on the top and bottom of the phone can be removed by simply "peeling" them off.
Step 3
• Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that are underneath the 4 buttons you removed in step one.
Step 4
• Flip the screen up halfway (90 degrees), to reveal the 2 screws above the right side of the keyboard.
• Use the Torx 6 screwdriver to remove these 2 screws.
• Be careful in handling the phone after removing the screws, because the two main bodies of the phone are no longer attached.
Step 5
• After removing the 6 screws and both bumpers, the phone will be easy to separate into the two main bodies.
• You can use your hands to simply pull apart the top casing from the bottom casing.
