Nokia 6610i & 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 and battery.

Step 2.  Remove the front cover.

Step 3.  Remove the six Torx T6 screws and keep them in a safe place..

Step 4.  Take the main system modules from the chassis and separate the screen connector by separating the modules as shown below.

Step 5.  The speaker is held in place with double sided sticky foam.  You may need to replace the foam if you remove the speaker

Step 6.  Remove the microphone taking care not to damage the sprung contacts.

Step 7.  open the clips on both sides of the display shield.

Step 8.  Now remove the display shield noting that it is held in place by hooks at its base.

Step 9.  Use a clean cloth to push the screen out of its frame.

Step 10.  Bend the frame slightly and then move it slightly to the right and pull up.

Step 11.  You should now be able to remove the user interface module.

Step 12.  Remove the charging jack using tweezers or an unplugged charger.

Step 13.  Lift the vibra motor out of the chassis.

Step 14.  The volume keys and IR shield can be easily removed from the chassis.

Step 15.  To remove the power button release it at the lower left hand side first then lift it off its locating pin.

Step 16.  Unclip the aerial on both sides using your shim and remove it.

Step 17.  The Pogo pins can be simply pushed out of the chassis.

Step 18.  The release button can also be simply pushed out of the chassis.

Step 19.  Camera removal.  These steps are included for the sake of completeness.  However, if you haven't got the correct tools for the job I'd recommend leaving it alone.

Step 20.  Reassembly is a simple reversal of the above steps taking extra time to ensure that everything works as it should, and that you have caused no damage whilst inside the handset.
