Introduction

Microsoft Lumia 535

RM-1090 / RM-1091/ RM-1089 / RM-1092

How to disassemble the phone and replace broken, smashed Display or Touch Screen Glass Digitizer.

!!!There are different versions touch screens:

• CT2S1973FPC-A1-E

• CT2C1607FPC-A1-E

The version is printed on the flex cable.

Tools

Step 1

Turn off the phone.
Remove the battery and any SIM and memory cards.

Step 2

With a screwdriver Torx T4 remove the 9x screws.

Step 3

With a plastic opening tool separate the back cover from the middle frame.

Step 4

Disconnect:
Touch screen flex cable
LCD Display flex cable
Charging Dock board flex cable - remove the foam and tape, then flip up the black lock before easing out the flex.
Coaxial antena cable - take your time here, be sure to pull the metal connector and not the cable or you risk pulling the cable from the connector.
Remove the 2x Torx T4 screws.

Take care when removing the coax connector. Mine was very tight and I managed to disconnect the coax cable from the connector. Phone is now in the bin :-(

Also, when removing the charging dock board flex cable, the connector has a black lock arm. Remove the foam pad and tape to reveal the lock. Gently ease the lock arm up then ease the flex out.

With the camera/logic board removed then don’t forget to remove the other end of the charging dock board flex cable from the charging board. When reassembling I found it awkward to hold the protective black guard over the flex out of the way when sliding the end of the ribbon into the replaced charging dock board: combination of tweezers and fingernail required.

Step 6

Remove the display flex cable rubber.
Put scotch tape on glass to prevent it from shattering.
Use a hair dryer or heat gun and warm the glass to make adhesive soft.

Step 7

Use a cutter or other tool with a sharp edge and start the separating from the bottom side. When you make enough room, continue the operation with a plastic tool.
Work slowly and do not force the frame with the display too much.
If necessary, warm again the glass with a hairdryer.

Please display prise

Step 8

Using a plastic tool, carefully remove the display.
Clean the frame from the remainders of the old adhesive.

Step 9

Install back the display.
Put adhesive tape 2mm on the digitizer.
Order the digitizer glass together with an adhesive tape. The replacement is easier.

Step 10

Install the touch screen and start with the reassembling.
That's all.

Did you do it successfully?

Is the phone memory gets deleted after doing it??

No it doesn’t

I did this successfully but as I pressed the glass down on the edges , it cracked. I believe its because I hadn’t cleaned up the glue from the previous screen and so the surface was uneven.

So, clean up the adhesive well and CAREFULLY press down on the glass. Its brittle.
