Teardown

Introduction

This guide explains techniques, tips, and advice on how to dissemble a Nokia N900

  1. GQywhYTEs2RlxXOA

    • Set the phone face down so the back of the phone is facing up.

  2. LKvHF5TNTxMAVZZL

    • Find the slit on the side of the phone and use your fingers to gently pry off the back cover.

  3. ANWDr16VIKlIPjAO

    • Carefully remove the rectangular-shaped battery from the center of the phone.

  4. RvMfTeI2XMZ4UGe5

    • Remove the six screws from the top and bottom of the back of the phone.

    • Gently pull the phone screen away from the base of the phone.

    • You should have two pieces: the phone screen and the base of the phone.

    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!

    • Use the blue iFixit Opening Tool to carefully pry off the outer rim of the phone screen.

    • To avoid breakage, pry each side of the screen off individually. This will help loosen the parts and ease the disassembly process.

  11. Q11iQ1qViAtSKAxo

    • Once the screen is separated from the outer rim, remove the screen cover.

    • This is the final step. You should have three pieces of the disassembled screen: the outer rim, the screen, and screen cover.

    • Congrats, you've successfully completed a Nokia N900 teardown!
