BlackBerry Curve 8900 disassembly

Tools required: Torx 6 screwdriver, mobile phone opening tool, plastic tool such as an old credit card

Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Four screws need to be removed. The top left one is covered by a warranty sticker. Just push through it with your screwdriver.


The BlackBerry logo bezel will now be loose and can be removed, as shown below.


From the point indicated below, push your opening tool in the direction shown by the arrow. Do this on both sides.


You should now have revealed two more screws. Remove these screws and the battery compartment will be loose and can be removed.


With the battery compartment removed your phone should look like below. A few clips, such as those circled, hold the front cover in place. Release these clips and remove the front cover.


With the front cover removed your phone should look like below. A ribbon connector needs to be detached. It attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up to unplug.


Carefully lift the circuit board up and you'll see some more ribbon connectors. The one circled on the left needs to be detached, just like in the last stage.


Now turn your phone over and slide something like a credit card all the way under the screen. The screen is held in place lightly by double sided tape which will release when you slide your credit card under it.


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