Apple iPhone 3G Disassembly

http://hdtv1969.blogspot.com/
Tools required: Phillips size 0 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card, suction cup, needle/drawing pin/paperclip or something similar.

1.With your phone upright, push something like a paperclip into the hole at the top of the phone. This will release the sim holder.

2.With the sim holder released, your phone will look like below.

3.Remove the two screws at the other end of the phone

4.Now attach a suction cup near the bottom of the screen. Be careful not to push it on too hard. Now hold the back of the phone in one hand and slowly pull the suction cup towards you with the other hand. The screen will lift up but will still be attached by three ribbons at the other end.

5.You can now access a number of ribbon connectors. Each one attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever the two circled connectors up to unplug them.

6.The next ribbon connector (circled) has a black latch that you flick up to release the ribbon. You can then lift the LCD away from the phone.

7.Your phone should now look like below.

8.Remove the screws on each side of the screen.

9.The screws on the other side will be covered by a piece of sticky tape which you'll need to peel back.

10.Now remove the screw circled below.

11.Slide your plastic tool under the LCD screen to release it

12.You should now have the LCD screen removed. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
