Blackberry Torch 9800 / 9810 Disassembly - Complete Take Apart

[ascoul]

taking out the display at the final step is not easy

it is glued on the frame

you should have mentioned that in your video

[GStreamInc]

@ascoul - I didnt bother because its almost impossible to do without breaking it. if its already broken, then you can simply pull it out, its not hard at that point. You can also buy new lcds with new bezels all installed already.

[AndreMed22]

Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering what if I just want to replace the slider screen bezel ?

[colombia0226]

Thanks

[MJFAN4ETERNITY]

Thank you very much for the very informative video. Everything was explained, and shown perfectly. Now this is how a dissemble video should be put together, cheers :o)

[candiretreat]

do you have any suggestions on how to repair a problem i am having - my 9800 will not work when the screen is pushed up at all, the screen stays black and the keypad doesnt work either, my phone will only work when the slider is down and i have to use the touch screen only

[oneeyebubby]

Graet video. The website is not available. gstream.ca.

[khkworks]

you need some tweezers for better work

[GStreamInc]

I have New OEM Blackberry Batteries for sale. MOQ 2000pcs. Anyone that is in need of them for refurb phones or any other reason please message me.

[paigefox8]

Fantastic video, MUCH APPRECIATED.  Lifesaver.

[GStreamInc]

@paigefox8 you're very welcome thanks for watching

[mk3mobile00]

iphone more easy to repair , and reaalllyyy more profitable

[GStreamInc]

@mk3mobile00 in my opinion they are about the same difficulty. Iphone 4 volume buttons, power button ect are more of a pain.

[DayB0n3]

thats good man thank, you save my life

[jraularevalo1]

thank man i already did it... thanks a lot

[YehItsMyCRF]

does the ear speaker come right out with a pull?

[GStreamInc]

@YehItsMyCRF yes if you pull the foam will just rip but be careful. if you do it very carefully you can also get beneath the glue and it will all come out.

[LeandroCaliento]

Be careful when removing the digitizer screen, mine broke into a million pieces when I forced it out like in the video... Otherwise the video is great!!

[GStreamInc]

@LeandroCaliento a heat gun will help this.  but if you do it carefully you dont need it.

[TheCanisRufus]

Is the LED part of the digitizer or no? I dropped mine and the digitizer cracked and now the blue LED won't go out and obviously I'd like to replace it for as little cost as possible

[newme7771]

Do you know what kind of battery is used on the motherboard?  Thanks

[rad006029]

Thanks! although not shown in the video the earpiece comes out easily and can be replaced for 2$.

[DrKidd8]

thanks! :]

[illmatic33]

Now from what it looks like, the bezel from the top slider does not come off like the other one. How do you change that bezel without messing the with LCD screen? I want to change my bezel but from what I have heard if you take out the LCD it's done, you have to replace it...

[sxcsouthafrican85]

for sale 2x fu%$d  Blackberry 9800

[GOGO90272]

Thanks. This was helpful. I used it to check my kid's phone that was not charging. It turned out it was not the USB connector but the Cable.

[vijayxx9]

if you remove the warranty sticker can u put it back on in a way that no one will be able to tell?

[neonexrt]

Dude, excellent tuto, its the best tuto that i seen about how disassembly a torch. tnks buddy. nice.

[CDM976]

you didn't take the front bezel off !!!! Thats the whole reason I watched this video

[jonathannarutomadara]

how do you change the keyboard on the torch? no one ever shows that, everyone ignores the keyboard!!!!!

[marszal31]

Do you know what is ESD???

[bl0ndebarbi3]

is this safe? or will is there a high chance i'll mess my phone up if i do?

[alexawood2k11]

Thanks man you really helped LOLAGE

[benjiebenjie026]

hey guys, my torch fell from a significant height the other week, it works, but the backlight is out, sometimes it would light up, but when i slide it up or down, it goes out again. any tips? thanks

[OHADASSUSIL]

How can i get to this guy i wanna but some stuff please

[redplanekat]

My 9800 dropped in the sink. I put it in rice immediately. The screen doesn't work but when I plug it into the computer, it registers, allows backup, sync, etc. Can this be cleaned/made to work again and can you guys do it?

[othertyme]

This video works great if you are replacing the entire slider unit- digitizer and LCD. I don't think I would have attempted replacing just the digitizer since mine was actually run over by a car and I wasn't sure about the condtion of the LCD... even though everything did still work. The phone is back to it's former glory... thanks for the video.

[kinkon86]

don't open your phone if you don't know shiet about it..go to the pro.

[studio53admin]

my torch wont come on , it only gets the red light!

whats might need repairing ?

[gallis92]

yo i got a torch and carried it to be be repaired becuz the digitizer screen was cracked up ... the man did the repair but now my headphones only plays on one side dont matter wat headphones i use ...he says wat he changed had notin to do wit the headphones jack .... could u tell me wat might be causing the problem and the solution plezz... i need a reply like asap ........

[vaolac]

in french please



[ddenn]

can the bottom bezel be removed without undoing those screws?

[othertyme]

@ddenn No... the screws hold the bezel on. Hope this helps.

[wlfpck]

What is the best way to fix a stuck lock button at the top left corner of the blackberry torch? Mine is stuck and it's not really clicking when I press it now.

[saucysoupbowlsxx]

at 4.10, my T-3 screwdriver is too big! please respond asap!!!

[saucysoupbowlsxx]

please help!!! the four screws at the beginning, mine wont unscrew!!

[bumpyjason]

Superb.

[Rileyfree]

Hey. i have a little problem. My torch had it's fire put out temperarily. That's should give you a hint. Because of that, my screen won't lock, won't rotate, and not touch sensitive. Is there any way to fix it, or do i have to replace it? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!!!!

[stonecoldkiller33]

your crazy man

[coolkidd723]

I'm not sure wht its called, but the black board with the icons that surround the trackpad? mine keeps on falling off now, my phone has never been dropped, so im thinking it has something to do with when i got it housed to red. When i got it back from getting housed the trackpad looked slightly indented but it didnt look like a big problem. Any suggestions?

[Daelmyth]

@ 5:15, instead of bending the locking clip for the flex, it is a folding lock. lift lightly on the side away from the trackpad and it's a hinged lock. easier to remove and also to lock back down when done. just sayin. :-) not tryin to be a critical prick or anything.

[xBABIxJx]

I've got a housing case for my blackberry and blue keyboard, I don't know how to take the front case off

[xBABIxJx]

ive got a housing case for my bb and blue keyboard, i dobnt know how to take the front case off

[PKJiszle]

what type of screwdriver is used at 3:40 please?

[12MANYcp]

my blackberry wont start up it gets stuck whn it is starting up whn the screen is still black WHAT DO I DO?

[PrincessAlbertina11]

apparently there is a sticker that indicates whether the blackberry has been opened or not, so if something happens to your phone, and you want a new one, they will know that you had it modified by someone that isn't your provider and wont sent you a new one.

Hypothetically, if i were to change the keyboard and/r bezel, would the indicator sticker peel off?

[Miszi]

The shutter on the camera of my torch seems to have slipped down. is there any way i can sort this? like when i take a photo, its like only a hazy bottom part of the photo if that makes sense

[WeedCampfire]

lol nwo put it back together

[pinkshamrock18]

at about 7:30 would you be able to pop off the speaker at the top and put in a new one?

[Baltierra1982]

Dropped a milkshake on my torch. It works fine but the sounds are a bit distorted (kinda static like) and when I use the handset the volume is a bit too low. What can I do????

[BamitZzU]

my black berry torch goes black when u slide it up and down i think i need a new ribbon cable can u explain how to replace it or any other help thx...

[rikochet87]

yea my front slider on my torch has a gap and doesnt stay flat to the back part, my wife thru it against the wall one day and its stayed that way ever since. what do you think it could be?

[markocfc]

Can you take the case off and replace it with the white case ?

[DamThatLyric]

can you repair a broken digitizer?

[mrmavallee]

Where can i find the T1 Screwdrivers?

[blackopslikeaboss]

do you have to do alll that sh!t to get the front part off?

[bellejem07]

MY BATTERY COVER DOES NOT COME OFF!!!!

[pianotuck]

can you please make a video about replacing the keyboard

[lmuzzammil]

The lock button on mine is not a button anymore its mor like touch sensetive!!! How do u fix that?

[mbagala1]

Why !!!!!!!!

[spacedude01]

this makes me sad :(

[3millionand1]

so can you just stick the warranty sticker back on when your done and they wont know any different if it breaks?

[I3eastFX]

@gstreaminc can you please help is there anyway ofrepairing a blackberry torch after water damage?

[chrisrickey01]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had my Torch 3 weeks before dropping and shattering the glass. Thanks to your step by step instructions, I was able to replace the glass myself costing a total of $30 including the tiny T1 driver I had to special order.

[roguext1]

Hi, is it possible to change the internal memory 4GB to a bigger memory?

[guywith2names]

@roguext1 why wont you just buy a bigger minisd card

[roguext1]

@guywith2names I have 32gb already filled up and I use torch alot for my job. so I was wondering if the internal memory is a minisd card otherwise I just get a new external storage device.

[caguamassatanicas]

Hi, Is there any way to just remove the digitizer for cleaning? Mine got a lot of dust somehow and its in the inside of the digitizer and it really bugs me cause the outside is perfectly clean but the inside looks nasty. Thanks and I hope you reply.

[HORSEcabbage9048]

could i change my torch to a different colour likeee with a kit from ebay or something using the methods shown in this video? i want to personalise mine :3

[tallonebrownme]

@HORSEcabbage9048 yes i was looking into this also you can find different colors of parts on ebay to mix and match colors for your phone.( torch)

[pimpincurly09]

im doing a full hosuing replacement for my torch from black to white including the bezels u never mentiond or showed hot to change the bezel that fits around the lcd cuz its really reall messed up lol on a scale of 0-10 how dificult is it to change that bezel and is there any white replacmenets for the digitizer?? i dont think i got one in my shipment

[jks519]

AWESOME!!! my screen cracked @ days after getting it, i bought the screen but it came with no instructions.......so thank god for this video!!! otherwise there'd be no way i"d be able to do it myself!! now if only i could figure out where the 2 extra screws go...... :-/

[Finsinger71]

Good video, but the first screws are T7, not T6. The T7 does fit much better. I´ve tried to fix the wiggle of the slider, but cannot find any T3 screwdriver.

[xxbukwildxx]

i broke my screen...dose this mean that my lcd is broken..??

[arminxxxbeast]

@xxbukwildxx

No, if your lcd and touch still work it probably means you only broke the glas... you can get a screen and "digitizer" at sw-box or truesupplier

dont ask how to replace them because i have the same problem

[REDvKK]

recently i replaced the trackpad on my torch (beacuse the old one was not working properly) now the trackpad works fine but since i replaced it the 4 front buttons (answer, BB menu, Back, end) all stay lit ALL the time. Even when i power down the phone. Ive tried pulling the battery, restoring the firmware, restoring the settings etc etc) and the button lights just stay lit still. Any suggestions? PLEASE PLEASE REPLY

[tonylcv2]

You should show how to take it apart starting with an otterbox case. I can't get that case off with out breaking the phone, someone know a trick?

[CNRStudios1]

Do you know where I can get a new antenna wire from? Mine got a little clipped after reassemble and my reception is now poor as a result

[skydiei]

Perfect. I just replaced a screen following this. You do need the a T1, T3 and T6 screwdriver, so don't start until you have all 3 like I did the first time.

Thank you

[essbee69]

Hi...is it possible to change the keyboard without separating the two halves...Possibly the question i should have asked first is, is it possible to change the keypad? I am in France at the moment and the phone has come with a French azerty keyboard and i want to change it to a qwerty.

many thanks for your amazing video!...It really is kind of people top post stuff like this.

[HighAway]

fuck torch and its mechanism.

[LinWilliam]

same question here! can you replace the screen without having to disassemble the whole phone from the back? ><

[megaahmedm]

i had a question can i take the screen off straight away or do i have to go through all that process

[wkdurrani]

Hiya,

love the video , i can see myself following it quite easily.

the reason i was look for take apart video is coz I dropped my torch 9800 in the water , now it does come on but nothing comes up on the screen.

do you think if i open and clean ( not sure how either, any suggestions ? ) , is there a chance it would work? or what else do you suggest i can do to fix it?

[REDvKK]

My blackberry torch's sim card reader got screwed up. Long story short the copper pieces got ripped off. Looked all over the net for replacement parts but cant find any. Any suggestions? Can i use the Bold's sim card reader as replacement? please reply thanks

[TavuDrums]

I wanted to see how one can access the top buttons on it (the lock and mute buttons).

[dakotaterrell]

hey my call button<blackberry menu button<blackberry back button<and decline button became unstuck from my phone there is nothing wrong with the phone but gets annoying because you have to use your finger nail to push the buttons help please

[nna528]

You say you wouldn't take the LCD out if it's not broken, but is that the only way to replace with a new chrome surrounding bezel for the front?

[LAVV1]

hello, is there any new and faster processors available for replacement on blackberry torch? I love my torch, but would definitely like to tune it up...

[xMOWERYx]

do you have to take apart the whole thing to replace digitizer?

[xMOWERYx]

ok what size is the screw drivers to take the front screen off....i know you get like a guitar pick and then you got to take screws off by the ribbon...what size is it

[RhondaBBify]

Great video! How do you replace the speaker?

[chiesouw]

where's i can find touchscreen for blackberry torch ? mine fall broken. :(

any suggestion?

[kazalbash]

hi my top slider wobbles is there some way i can tighten them up? its the screen part.. thanks

[kazalbash]

hi my top slider wobbles is there some way i can tighten them up? its the screen part.. thanks

[Andysbox001]

My slider was stuck at the open position. It looks like something is blocking it from retracting back. There is no physcial damage at all. Can anyone let me know how to fix it? Thanks very much - Andy

[Seven2Siks]

you never mentioned taking off the bezel along the lcd screen. My torch is in great conditon but the front bezel is scratched up. I wanna replace it. plz comment 

[GStreamInc]

@Seven2Siks

I wouldnt recommend changing your bezel until your LCD breaks because it is stuck on very very well. there are 6 tiny clips on the lcd which you have to unclip and press against the lcd which is very stuck to the steel plate with double sided tape. Once again i say dont do it unless you really need to because an lcd repair will cost about $100-200. but if you must, i recommend heating the back of the lcd slowly to make the tape more viscous, and slowly pry away at it as you do.

[akathebestOne]

@GStreamInc Please make a video on how to do it properly, i really want to do it but im afraid i break it accidentally

[nequamNic]

@GStreamInc

@GStreamInc

If I just want to change the front/upper bezel, is it really necessary to remove the LCD from the metal plate? The metal plate is part of the LCD and not of the front bezel, right? Is the bezel only attached to the LCD with the clips you mention or also some kind of adhesive. This is unclear to me. If an adhesive is used, which parts would I need to order to get hold of this adhesive. Is it part of the bezel or LCD? Thanks for help, much appreicated.

[arminxxxbeast]

@GStreamInc

[khaledm1991]

Damn I Love you Guys, I was trying to fix the wobble with putting in a paper, It was too thin that is slipped too deep I couldn't take it out and the slide was very rough while opening and closing it, so i had to open it !

Respects ...

[jlee7692]

Can you post a video of just changing the full housing. The housing around the touchscreen looks really hard to dissemble and one of the last steps but the other part was one of the first things you take off. Thanks

[weezul]

would not want to put it back together! nightmare haha, cheers though. Tempting to tighten those six screws to stop wobble..

[Photoshopuzr]

hey man is it possible to tighten the spring that when the phone slides up to show the keyboard that part that goes up you know it gets loose a little can that be tightened?

[danger39]

hello great video but can you provide another one showing how to change the blackberry torch 9800 keyboard pleeeeeese
