LG KF510 disassembly

Tools required: Phillips screwdriver

Remove your back cover, battery and sim. Remove the four screws you can see.

The battery compartment can now be removed. Just pull it away from the rest of the phone.

Your phone should now look like below. Remove the two screws you can see.

You can now detach the camera surround. Run something like the edge of a credit card around the join to detach it. Note that the camera surround will still be attached by a ribbon, near the volume keys, so be careful.

The camera surround should now be loose. A connector (circled), which attaches like a plug and socket, needs to be detached. Simply lift the connector up, away from the phone to detach it.

Your phone should now look like below.

Open the slide slightly to reveal two more screws. Remove these. Open the slide fully and you'll have access to two more screws. Remove these too.

The circuit board is still attached by a connector (circled). There's no need to disconnect this if you are replacing the LCD screen, although you can do if you wish. Remove the four screws you can see.

Run your credit card along the join of the front cover to release it then lift the cover away, starting near the top of the phone. Once you have the cover removed as far as shown in the picture, pull the cover down, in the direction shown by the arrow. When you have removed the front cover, notice that another ribbon has disconnected. Remember to reconnect this when you put the phone back together.

Open the slide and you'll have access to another connector. Remove the piece of orange tape you can see. To release this ribbon, flick the black latch up.

Turn the phone over and the screen can now be removed. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
