Yes it was a surprisingly easy job to get it apart and the only problem if anything was to ensure not to damage those softer plastic parts.

Another point that i mentionned in the post and really should stress again is that really to take caution when working with the small ribbon cables. If the material is 'worked' too much they can begin to split. Once that happens, its all over.

I'm glad to say that without any exterior markings and all the screws tightenend up, it feels as if it were out of the box.

hey pop, im taking my phone apart to replace the digitizer (touch screen). now I notice the screen is "whole". I only managed to take out the guts of the system, not dissasemble any of it, I had a few questions for you.

1, once the case is open and removed, as well as the screen rubber, how do you remove keyboard to get at the screen connections to remove the screen, once screen is removed how do you take off the digitizer and leave the LCD alone? need to have my scratched LCD replaced. also I had some trouble with stripped torx screws but I managed to create my own custom bit and remove it although it was not easy, I also created a thread how to create this custom bit piece as well.

This thread came just a tad bit too late for me. I fell into a pool last Saturday. Yes, you know what I brought with me with that fall. I just couldn't figure out the last 2 screws (like from the FIRST pic, ironically) so I just unscrewed the other six and kept it halfway ajar with tissue, hairdried whatever parts I managed to expose and waited till Monday to send it to the service centre as none was open over the weekend. Everything was badly rusted but it remains in working condition surprisingly. I might have to sell this one off soon and get another before it's too late. Dang!

That shouldn't be too hard. When you get to the point where one side of the shell is removed, you can easily access the camera button where it meets the pcb button and blow compressed air or use cotton buds to clean it all up.

If, however, the PCB button is all gummed up, then it will be a very different situation as that button is sealed and enclosed as can be seen on with the last pic above.

A little tip if its the latter problem. In the past, but not on a mobile it has to be said (garage remotes ) a little dab of alcohol into the button casing itself and a continuous blast of compressed air into a small crack/hole afterwards should clean up the insides of that button easily. If its just a little dust then just use the compressed air on its own.

Actually, now that i thought about it, i remember doing a similar thing with the jog dial on my old P910 after it started to miss a beat when moved.

Best of luck

Try using a little pressure with a light plastic tool to get into between the phone body and the plastic cover. If you work gently from the side where the access notch is you should be able to unhinge it easily.

Another method is running your nail along the left side until the cover just pops out.

Good luck
