I have already posted this over at Esato but was asked by scotsboyuk to do the same here. So here goes.

You will need something very thin and made of plastic to slide between the faceplate and the housing. I used some little tools bought off ebay for opening the T610. A long fingernail might even work (thanks to jcwhite_uk). I would not recommend using any metal tools as you might scratch the cover. A thin plastic prepaid calling card might also do the trick. Dont be afraid to use a little force as the faceplate has some flexability for lifting up the edges.

There are 6 plastic clips holding on the faceplate. 2 on each side and 2 on the end. I have circled them for you to see and also where they clip into the housing.

Once the faceplate is removed you can see part of the antenna and the first 2 of the T6 screws. Remove the screws with a T6 screw driver.

Now you need to open the handset so you can see the 1.3 Megapixels sticker below the main screen of the phone. You will need to have a very sharp craft knife to slide underneath the sticker and remove it. Once removed you can see the last 2 of the T6 screws. Remove the screws.

The last obstacle is separating the internal and external housing of the phone. There are 5 little clips holding them together. 2 on each side and 1 on the end as cirlced in the picture. A small flat head screw driver (like the ones used to tighten reading glasses) may be needed to get this open.

Once this is unclipped just fully open the handset then remove the internal part of the housing. Almost completely close the hanset to remove the external housing. Just be careful of your antenna when doing this.

Now you have access to the screens if you need to replace them. I will do another guide to opening the keypad part of the phone later.
If you are after parts for your V800 and you can read German try this site as they have everything.

Just an additional picture that I thought somebody might like to see.

The lower housing was a bit more difficult as the clips were a little uncooperative. Again there are six clips. But first you must remove the last 4 of the T6 screws. 2 under the battery cover and 2 externally exposed screws just above the battery bay.

http://www.se-nse.com/forum/attachment.php...entid=422&stc=1

Now you are faced with unclipping the inner and out parts of the housing. I again used the little plastic tools for the T610 that I have to release the 4 clips on the left and right sides of the housing.

http://www.se-nse.com/forum/attachment.php...entid=423&stc=1

http://www.se-nse.com/forum/attachment.php...entid=424&stc=1

To get the clips on the black hinge part to release I had to push inward with my finger where the clips are so that they were almost unclipped and then I used the tiny flat head screw driver lift the clip the last little bit. Once you have done this on both sides you can remove the housing.

The camera connector is on the left and the LCDs connector is on the right at the top of the main circuit board. The keypad PCB is connected at the bottom. These connectors can all be unclipped by gently lifting them up from the edges. The white antenna cable connects to the main circuit board just above the LCD connector but hidden from view by the silver ribbon cable.

Here are the parts all disconnected.

I managed to pry off one of the metal covers on the main circuit board and found what I believe to be the RF modulator made by SKYWORKS (http://www.skyworksinc.com/). This must be the little **** that is causing so many of us problems. Maybe we should start writing to them to fix our problems.

If there are any electrical enginees out there here is the Data Sheet for the chip http://www.skyworksinc.com/products_detail...p2.asp?pid=1699 . The 2 silver like chips on the right look like they can be lifted out of the main board connectors they sit in. Might try that later.
Another image for you. I used a toothpick to hold the battery in place and you can see the white antenna cable too.

I have just replaced the housing and have a slight problem, The white lead that runs from the top LCD to the bottom has come loose on the bottom part, I need to find out where it reconnects.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the attached picture to see where the white antenna cable attaches on the main circuit board.

Thanks for that, will get it done.

OK I got the wire connected and the phone back together.

Now I need a bit more help, the front LCD screen no longer go.

Any ideas to what I should look for.

Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem.... So sad.. Anyone could help here...

I've got a solution now.. Any body still want to know to deal with that problem? Just let me know and I will post the pic here.

Or just take a look at your post here: http://www.se-nse.com/forum/showpost.php?p...757&postcount=5

It is actually a tiny magnet that tells a sensor on the lower part of the phone that the handset is now closed so turn off the main LCD and activate the external LCD.

Yes you are right.. But i cannot speak good english so hope the people need this info could understand my english...

Thanks again guys, An idiot like me would be lost without you.

I will be the death of someone, if not it will be my phone that goes.

Got the cable fixed.
Got the external screen going.

Now whan I call someone or they call me they not hear me att all.

Suggestions please.

Thanks again.

And I promise that this will hopefully be the last time.

Hi.. Would you be kind and provide the pictures as all the links are broken? Thank you very much.

Hi, I've been following your insturctions above.. without the pictures since they all seemed to have been deleted. My external lcd isn't working. Not sure where the magnet is. Please help! Thanks!!
