Blackberry Disassembly (Part 1)

hi emm.. my storm 9500's four buttons at the bottom (call, escape and menu) are no longer that easy to press. I need to press harder in order to work it. I figure there is too much dust trapped underneath, can you show any way to clean it?? Thanks

using a flathead screwdriver to remove torx screws? professional or what?

[KillerNumberX]

Nope, it's not professional. If you have a torx screwdriver, then I do not recommend it.

HOWEVER, this is a neat little trick for those who do not want to spend any unnecessary money on little tools, or who do not want to wait a week for one they order online to arrive.

In the latter case, this trick will definitely serve a great purpose for those people. This trick will not harm your torx screw, and in addition, it is all that is needed to replace the front screen.

Judging by the fact that a torx screw kit likely costs more than the front panel itself, it does seem a waste to buy a tool just to be able to replace it.

This is why I made this video - to help those people.
