Tools required: Torx 6 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card.
Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Four screws need to be removed. The two at the top are covered by rubber stoppers which can be levered out with your screwdriver.
Run something like a credit card around the join of the battery compartment to release it from the rest of the phone.
With the battery compartment removed your phone should look like below. The memory card door will also come away. A ribbon connector (circled) needs to be disconnected. It attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever this up to unplug. Next, pull the grey part, at the top of the phone, in the direction shown by the arrows.
Your phone should now look like below. Another ribbon connector needs to be detached (circled). Again, this attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up to unplug.
Once you have disconnected the ribbon in the previous stage, lift the part it is connected to away from the phone, as shown below. Now pull the housing in the direction shown by the arrow. This will release the circuit board.
Your phone should now look like below. Note that the volume button on the side of the phone will come out with the circuit board, as you can see below.
Pull the top and bottom parts of the phone away from each other. The parts will separate without force.
Turn the top half of the phone over. Starting it the point circled below, peel the sticker off.
Remove the two circled screws and then remove the sticker at the top of the screen.
Remove these two screws as well.
Run something like the edge of a credit card all the way around the join of the housing.
The cover half of the cover should now be removed, as shown below. You should also be able to lift the screen assembly away from the other half of the cover.
Your phone should now look like below.
Turn the phone over and remove the black part, as shown below. It is stuck down lightly with a small piece of double sided tape. Now lever the circled black part out with your fingernail. It just clips in and out.
The circled ribbon connector needs to be disconnected. Just flick the black latch up and pull the small screen away from the phone.
You should now have the small LCD screen removed. The two circled connectors need to be detached. They attach like a plug and socket. Just lever each one up to unplug.
Now remove the black plastic part from the phone. It will come away with very little force. The circled ribbon connector needs to be disconnected. Just flick the black latch up and pull the orange ribbon away from the circuit board.
Turn the phone over and the large LCD screen can be levered away from the phone (just slide your plastic tool under it). You now have both LCD screens removed. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
