University Tear Down of the LG KF700 by Richard 'Bootstrap Bill' Turner, Estyn 'Indiana' Jones, David 'Adolf' Hilliker and Elani 'Cupov' Kafa!
This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your LG KF700, use our service manual .
All the circuit boards are attatched with wiring which makes it hard to remove all the components without damaged to the phone. To remove properly you need to remove to solder holding the wiring to other componets, or you can just cut the wires.
The boards are held down with small screws, simply remove the scres to access the underside of the circuit boards.
Make sure the metal slider is not pushed up and partially sticking out of the phone.
Then unscrew the single screw in the centre of the slider.
From underneath the slider, the small spastic spring should be easily unclipped and so too should the slider.
With the slider removed the metal backing to the screen can be slowly clicked out.
Be careful to slowly disconnect the wires that are attached to the back of the metal backing and the inside of the screen.
Finally the screen being made up of several layers can also be separated.
Unhook the final chip carefully to allow a protecting layer to be removed.
Then slowly pull the chip off itself and the four layers will then be easily separated with a steady hand and a small pair of tweezers.
