    • First, flip the phone so the back is facing upwards.

  2. LKvHF5TNTxMAVZZL
    • Next, locate the slit on the side of the phone and remove the back cover.

  3. ANWDr16VIKlIPjAO
    • Once the back has been removed, take out the battery.

  4. OOe5In2sw5ODxAfk
    • Using a small bit screwdriver, unscrew all six screws located in the back of the phone. If necessary, iFixit has 16 to 112 Bit Driver kits available for purchase.

    • Once all six screws have been removed, gently pull the phone apart. You should now be left with two pieces.

    Be aware when doing this step as the LCD flat-flex cable is still connected to the mainboard, disconnect the cable first before pulling it apart!

    • With the touch screen now removed from the keyboard slider, use the blue, plastic opening tool to remove the cover of the screen.

    • It is highly advised to take off one side at a time.

    • Once one section of the cover has been removed, the second cover will be removable. You have officially completed tearing down a Nokia N900.
