T-Mobile MDA Compact III disassembly Tools required: Torx 5 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a credit card or guitar plectrum, small flat head screwdriver or nail scissors or something similar.
First remove the battery cover, battery, memory card and stylus. Remove the two circled screws (one will be covered with a white warranty sticker).

Next pull the camera cover up. Some force is required.

Your phone will now look like below. Now remove the two screws you can see. The battery compartment of the phone can now be removed.

Next you need to detach the circled ribbon connector. There is a black latch where the ribbon attaches. Flip this up (from right to left) and then simply pull the ribbon out. Pay attention to how the ribbon attaches.

Now lift the circuit board from right to left and detach the ribbon connector, circled below, in the same way you did the previous one.

Now push something like a watchmakers screwdriver with a flat head or one arm of a pail of nail scissors into the circled slots to lever away the clips that hold the front cover on.

The front cover has now been removed and you have access to the LCD screen.

The screen is held in place with double sided tape. Pry the screen away from the rest of the phone, as shown below.

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