Steps:
- Separate the top half of the clamshell from the bottom half by first locating the two hinges.

- Locate the two small circles located at the bottom left and right corners of the main screen.
- Remove the two small rubber dots covering the screw heads using the tweezers.
- The sharp ends of the tweezers can be stuck into the rubber dots in order to remove them.
- Locate the rubber strip found above the main screen. Use the pry bar to remove the rubber strip. This exposes the screws in the upper left and right hand corner.
- Use the small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove four 3mm screws exposed during steps 1 and 2.
- Using the pry bar, remove the front cover of the phone.
- It may be necessary to run the pry bar along the length of the perimeter to separate the front cover from the rest of the phone.
- Once loose, the front cover should easily be pulled away from the phone, as shown in the second picture.
- Carefully pry around the crevice of the entire plastic screen covering using a pry bar or some other type of sharp tool.
- Be careful when prying as the plastic covering can easily be bent or cracked.
- Once you have pried all the way around, using tweezers to pull the plastic screen completely off.
- Locate the ribbon cable connection that attaches to the screen's circuit board.
- Using the tweezers, carefully grab the corner of the rectangle and unplug the cable.
- Locate the circular earpiece located above the circuit board.
- Use the tweezers to grab and remove the earpiece.
- The circuit board containing the outside and inside LCD screen should now easily remove from the phone's casing using your fingers.
