Nokia 9210/i & 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 cover label from the front cover.

Step 2.  Remove the two screws from the bottom of the front cover.

Step 3.  Remove the front cover assembly.

Step 4.  Lift the key mat away from the phone.

Step 5.  Remove the two screws from the screen frame.

Step 6.  Remove the co-axial cable.

Step 7.  Remove the key pad flex.

Step 8.  Remove the user interface module from the screen frame.

Step 9.  Remove the four plugs from the back cover.

Step 10.  Remove the memory card cover.

Step 11.  Remove the six screws from the back cover.

Step 12.  Remove the back cover assembly from the chassis.

Step 13.  Remove the ear piece and gasket.

Step 14.  Remove the battery latch.

Step 15.  Remove the extension of the keyboard flex.

Step 16.  Remove the audio holder assembly.

Step 17.  Remove the backup battery.

Step 18.  Remove the co-axial cable.

Step 19.  Remove the chassis assembly and keyboard flex from the main frame.

Step 20.  Remove the QWERTY key mat from the frame.

Step 21.  That should just leave you with the frame assembly.

Step 22.  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.
