BOTTOM HALF OF THE PHONE
Step one
Make sure you have the correct tools.
A small phillips head screw driver.
A T6 screw driver
A suitable prizing device, (you can manage with your finger nail)
A pair of Tweezers (optional)
DISCLAIMER: I nor SE-NSE take any blame for damages to your phone if something goes wrong.
You should follow the Tutorial better
Anyway, moving on.
Step two
Take the battery cover off your handset and take out the battery and SIM card, store them somewhere safe.
Undo the screws (with the T6 screw driver) circled in red.
Step three
Turn your phone over and take of the sticker just bellow the walkman sticker, this should uncover another two screws (T6) undo these too
Step four
The Casing should now be easy to split in two, if not, start at the fast port end and go round with your prizing instrument. (see picture for more details)
(Sorry about the quality of the pic its hard to take photo's with one hand
)Step five
When done, you will have something looking like this, becareful with the connecters as they are quite fragile.
Push the circled bits up towards the fastport. It is easiest to to this with a pair of tweesers.
Do this with both connectors.
Make sure you know which connector is which, if you get them wrong your phone will not start.
I make a mark on one with a Permanent pen, and i remember which side this went to.
Step six
At which point you will have this! I will take the Screen part of the handset appart later in the tutorial.
Step seven
Now, to lift the main board out of the housing you will need your prizing instrument.
Put the prizing instrument down the side of the main board, now lever the board out, Do this to the other side aswell. After this you will be able to lift the board out.
Step eight
All, the major components come out with the board, only the antenna and the vibrator are left in the housing.
becareful with the circled component, it is a bit of plastic that connects with the lock slider.
This is fragile so becareful!

Step five
(Sorry i forgot to take a picture here) it's easiest to Start at the top of the screen,the go round with your prizing tool. becareful as around the middle of the case is quite thin. This part of the hosuing is very tight around the bottom so don't worry if you find it tricky

If you are Changing the housings don't forget to Take this peice of metal out, it is a magnet. the phone uses this to detect weather or not the phone is open.
