    A comment for anyone wanting to clean the metal contacts to improve keypad response, make sure you spray iso alcohol onto a lint free cloth and wipe the contacts, not onto the device itself and definitely not onto the LCD screen, as it can leave a marl on the screen. Luckily it evaporated eventually but only after 48hrs...

    • Use the plastic opening tool to separate the top part of the backplate.

    • The plastic clips at the top require slightly more force to separate.

This includes removing the antenna, since it's just one screw.

The antenna guide talks about "replacing the antenna."
