    That’s just removing the casing. That’s not disassembling the unit itself. Pretty lame to be honest. Be more daring!

    hey man, disassembling is disassembling, there are times when I dont completely disassemble something because i still need to use it, or i only have to remove something from under the casing. We at the site appreciate anything our users submit to us! Look in the user submitted section and you will find much simpler submissions than this. I dont mind the suggestion to be a little more daring, but it isnt to cool to call someone elses submission lame.

    maybe you can also show the people how to remove the display, this is pretty easy if you know how to do it,if not you can break some plastic parts of it.and also how to take out the print ad parts like the speaker,mic and vibration device

    dan, yep the lcd inside is not glued or anything. Simply disconnect lcd connector, remove those 2 screws on the screen frame, take lcd apart from the frame.

    Thank you for your help
    All of the screws are T-6, the other size (the lower one holding the display)is a T-4

    The instructions above dont tell you very well that the connector holding the display is very small, and is on the left side of the display when looking at it. Be Gentle and pry with your fingernail (rocking back and forth) and it comes off in one piece (square + Ribbon + Dispay). It is the square portion and has the small ribbon connector from it to the display. Dont try to remove the center piece (chrome in color).

    I was fortunate to have been given a E61 and swapped the case and display from a E62 I have. Now I have a faster device and was able to swap displays as the E61’s was a little scratched.

    I just finished cleaning the dust from the display of my E-61. I needed T4 and T6 Torx bits, plus a camera dust brush, and lint free antistatic cloth (for cleaning glasses). For those in Australia Dick Smith has a phone repair tool for $8.95 with the torx bits (T6335). Many thanks for this article.

    Thanks for posting this. The information I need is not really posted, though: I need to know how to get through the 4th and 5th images in the set above. In other words, I’ve already removed the 4 torx screws — that part was obviously required — but there’s some resistance when I try pulling up on the back casing (as pictured in image #5).

    In the picture, a Swiss army knife screwdriver is being used; I’m using a similar tool. But this casing doesn’t want to budge; I fear it’s going to break…
