    • Remove Rear casing.

    • With a thin blade, gently lift the top tight hand side of the buttons board releasing a peg from a hole on the midframe below. Whilst doing so, gently push on the top left hand side in order to release the buttons board from a clip. At the same time, the bottom left hand corner wil be released from another clip.

    • Flip over rear buttons board to expose LCD ZIF clamp.

    • Flip open the clamp of the ZIF connector and slide the ribbon cable out. (The connector may have a piece of sticky tape over it. Removing this may well open the connector clamping bar.)

    • The ZIF clamp is very fragile so please use caution when releasing the ZIF clamp. It breaks easily.

    • Remove the LCD.

    • Remove front housing case

    • Remove top cabinet part

    • The two areas highlighted in red have loose parts. Please keep your eyes on these parts because they can get lost easily. Once you remove the top cabinet they will most likely fall off. In particular, there is a tiny spring behind the battery retainer which is very easy to loose.
