Nokia E71 disassembly

Nokia E71 disassembly

Tools required: Torx 5 screwdriver, torx 6 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card.

Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Remove the two screws you can see. Then push your screwdriver into the four circled gaps. This releases the clips that hold the front cover in place. Now pull the front cover away from the phone.

With the front cover removed, your phone should look like below. The circled connector needs to be disconnected. It attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up to unplug. Now remove the two black screws you can see at the top of the phone.

Run your plastic tool around the join at the bottom of the phone to remove the bottom cover, as shown below.

Now pull the screen and frame towards you. It'll still be connected at the bottom by a ribbon/connector so don't try and remove it completely.

Your phone should now look like below. The circled connector needs to be disconnected. It attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up to unplug.

Your phone should now look like below. Pull the metal frame back at the point indicated by the arrow and then slide your plastic tool under the LCD screen to release it.

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