Tools required: Phillips size 0 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card.
Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Remove the four screws you can see.
Slide something like a credit card in-between the join of the back of the phone to release it, as shown below.
With the back of the housing removed, your phone should look like below. The circled connector needs to be disconnected. It attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it away from the phone to unplug. The circled screw also needs to be removed.
The circuit board needs to be pulled away from the phone, starting near the black antenna. The antenna needs to be levered away from the rest of the phone at the point indicated by the arrow. It's important to get this right as the speaker behind it is stuck down with double sided tape and needs to be levered off along with the antenna as the two parts are connected by two wires which can snap if you're not careful.
Below, circled right of the picture, you can see the speaker and two wires mentioned in the previous stage. Two more ribbon connectors needs to be disconnected. Again, each one attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever them away from the circuit board to unplug. 
Your phone should now look like below. Lift the orange keypad membrane away from the phone. Note that the button on each side will be stuck down lightly so carefully peel them away from the side of the phone.
Your phone should now look like below. Remove the four circled screws. You can now lift away another layer of the phone.
Your phone should now look like below. Remove the four circled screws. Also remove the two rubber/plastic stoppers at the top of the phone to reveal two more screws. Remove these then slide your plastic tool all the way around the join of the front cover to release it.
Peel back the green sticker, indicated by the arrow, then slide the flex ribbon through the gap.
Your phone should now look like below. The circled connector needs to be disconnected. Again, it attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it away from the phone to unplug it. Peel back the flex ribbon. It's stuck down at the two points indicated by the arrows.

You should now have the LCD screen removed. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
