AVM Fritz Fon C5 front cover / keypad Replacement

ID: 144532

Description: The front cover quickly suffers a break on the...

Steps:

1. Loosen the back panel using your fingernail/ guitar pick or a spudger.
2. Slide the pick all around the housing until the back panel comes off.
3. Once it's off simply remove the battery from the housing.

4. Loosen the 8 T5 screws, and set them aside.
5. The upper shell / front of the housing consists of filigree bars around the keypad, so special care is required here. In my case, some of these were already broken.
6. Move the opening pick / spudger around the case, lifting off the tabs (orange) with a flat screwdriver. This is done through the corresponding openings in the middle part of the housing (green).

7. The circuit board can then be easily removed together with the keypad.
8. Replace the parts to be repaired and screw them back together.

9. Loudspeaker (yellow) and screen protector (green) are glued on and can be easily lifted out with a flat screwdriver.
10. A transparent piece of plastic (light blue), which was probably used to align the loudspeaker, was no longer needed, nor was I able to take over the piece of fabric (red) in front of the loudspeaker.
11. The keypad got hooked in a few places, so I had to rework the associated openings with a file.

12. Put everything back together in reverse order - make sure that the buttons do not get stuck.
