Nokia 2100 & Variants

When dismantling any phone, great care should be taken to ensure that no damage is caused to any of the parts.  Rough handling may result in severe damage of many parts, and if proper anti-static procedures are not followed, electrostatic damage may result in any electronic component.

Before commencing, it is recommended that the correct tools are purchased for the job in hand - at the very least, you will require a Torx T6 screwdriver..

Step 1.  Remove the back cover.

Step 2.  Remove the front cover.

Step 3.  Use a small flat bladed screwdriver at the points shown below to release the aerial.

Step 4.  Use your screwdriver to release the two clips at the top of the aerial.

Step 5.  Now you should be able to lift the aerial away from the main chassis.

Step 6.  Remove the six Torx T6 screws in the order shown below and store them safely.

Step 7.  Now lift the user interface away from the main board and chassis.

Step 8.  You should now be left with a view as seen below.

Step 9.  Remove the main board from the chassis taking care not to damage the metal gasket.

Step 10.  Below you can see the main chassis.

Step 11.  And below is the view of the main chassis with everything removed.

Step 12.  When removing the battery connectors take care not to damage them.

Step 13.  Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to release one end of the SIM retainer.

Step 14.  Now release the opposite side and the retainer should simply fall out of the chassis.

Step 15.  Remove the two user interface screws and store them safely.

Step 16.  To remove the display, release the retaining clips on both sides of the user interface module.

Step 17.  Now the speaker can be simply lifted away whilst taking care not to damage the contacts.

Step 18.  Reassembly is a simple reversal of the above steps taking extra time and care to ensure that everything works as it should and that you have caused no damage.
