Nokia N73 disassembly

Tools required: Plastic shim such as a guitar plectrum or credit card

• First remove the battery cover, battery, memory card and sim. Now push your plastic shim into the join at the top of the phone to lift the front cover out slightly. Then run the plastic shim along both sides of the cover to unclip it at these points too

• You should now have the front cover removed, like below.

• The LCD screen is held in place by a metal frame which needs to be unclipped around its edge for removal.

• The LCD screen will now be loose and can be removed. It will be attached to the phone by a ribbon which attaches like a plug and socket. Simply lift it upwards to unplug it.

• You can now lift away the LCD and replace with new. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
