GrandMasterThis article will describe the process of disassembling Moto Doid Turbo 2 and images with its internal contents. All information provided is for informational purposes only. Under no circumstances do we recommend making repairs yourself at home; it is better to entrust the repair of your Motorola smartphone to professionals. This will prevent you from additional waste on eliminating defects due to unqualified intervention.
For periodic cleaning and maintenance, it is often necessary to disassemble the cell phone. How to do this correctly so as not to harm the device is a question that interests many. This is why this short guide with photo instructions was written.
You will be surprised, but almost all cell phones are disassembled according to the same principle. Once you disassemble a modern device and understand the principle of disassembly, it will not be difficult to cope with any other model. So, for example, we take the Sagem myX-6 phone and use it for disassembly.First, you need a set of tools that will be used to unscrew bolts with tricky heads. The bolts in this case (myX-6) are (*) (N-T6 screwdriver marking).
We inspect the number of bolts, their type, the presence of hidden bolts (under plugs, etc. (On the phone). Accordingly, select the necessary tool. (Difference in Bolts - 1 positive (+)., 2 Asterisk (*)., Minus ( -)., and, accordingly, the size of the tool: for Plus - 0.000, 0.00, 0.0, 1., for minus - 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm., for sprocket T-5., 6., 7., 8. , 9., 10., (T)).
Mostly small tools are used. (Those larger ones are suitable for computer components. I have a set from Kraftool, consisting of 12 items.) I don’t recommend trying with ordinary screwdrivers.., the screws sit tightly in the plastic, you’ll only tear off the slots... There’s still a risk, that the screwdriver will come off under load, and the phone will go to dreamland :)
We open the phone, carefully pry it from the middle of the case using a plastic puller (or just a fingernail :)), first on one side, then on the other we open the case.
After the lower part of the case has opened, carefully pushing it up, remove it from the upper latches, and it will open in half (don’t forget that some phones may have components that are not visible at first glance... so you shouldn’t overdo it :)) , so carefully open it.Don't forget about the numerous latches! If handled incorrectly, they break easily..., as a rule, the body is then lost... In the photographs they are shown with a red arrow. When working with a case of a model unknown to you, you need to find out the location of the latches by lightly pressing the edge of the case with a thin screwdriver.
We remove the printed circuit board. It is attached around the perimeter with case latches, so by carefully prying it up by the edges, we remove it first from the bottom, then the top. All fees were removed completely.
That's it, the phone is completely disassembled, now you can do anything with it :)
PS. Do not forget that if your device is under warranty, it will be automatically removed from you for this matter.P.P.S. In cell phones (any kind), all connections are secured with clamps and latches, so disassemble it carefully so as not to break anything.PPPS. Use it only!!! quality tools (screwdrivers)Happy modding, Doktor.
At the moment, touchscreen smartphones have two types of designs - unibody, in which the body is made of one non-separable part, and the classic monoblock phone design, in which the body is divided into a front part and a back part with or without a battery compartment cover. Unlike ordinary smartphones with a touch screen, the front part of the case is often a non-separable module made of protective and touch glass glued to the display.
So let's start with the unibody phone Nokia Lumia 920.
The diagram in the figure is valid to one degree or another for most unibody smartphones.
- Screen module. Often this is not a collapsible “pie” made of protective glass, a touch screen, an LCD or OLED display and some electronics on the back of the module. A striking example is . It also happens that this module is still collapsible like that of ;
- Motherboard;
- Probably the motherboard, speakers, microphones, connectors, etc.;
- Battery;
- Cables and body parts;
- Unibody housing.
We take out memory cards, SIM cards and everything that we can get from the phone.
We twist the device in our hands and look for screws at the ends; they can be hidden under stickers and protective curtains. We twist everything we see.
We take a suction cup and stick it on the screen something like this.
We carefully try to lift the screen, if it doesn’t work, take a tool to disassemble the cases and try to lightly pry it in several places.
If the screen does not budge at all, it may be glued like that.
In this case, take a hairdryer and warm up the screen.
Then, using a housing disassembling tool, carefully pry off the screen.
The screen module may be daisy-chained to other phone components, please proceed with caution.
You now have access to the phone's motherboard and battery. They are connected by cables, or soldered, like in .
The battery can be mounted in the housing or on the display module. Removing it is usually not difficult.
The motherboard can be screwed to the display module or to the chassis. It is usually secured with screws. Remove the screws and voila - the motherboard is free.
As I wrote above, the display module can be collapsible or non-collapsible. If it is collapsible, then most likely, unfortunately, it is glued with adhesive tape to the touch screen and glass. Use a hair dryer to thoroughly heat the adhesive tape and then you can try to separate the glued components.
How to disassemble a smartphone with a touch screen in a regular all-in-one case using the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music as an example
The diagram in the figure is valid for most touchscreen all-in-one smartphones.
- Front part of the phone case;
- Protective glass, touch screen and LCD matrix;
- Screen backing;
- Motherboard;
- The back of the phone case;
- Battery cover.
The whole thing is sorted out in this order.
We turn the phone so that the screen is facing away from us and remove the back cover, take out the battery if it is removable, take out memory cards, SIM cards, etc.
Remove all the screws you can see in the battery compartment. Inspect the phone from all sides, look for stickers or rubber seals under which screws may be hidden. Check if there are screws in the compartments that are closed with lids; if you find them, unscrew them.
Now you need to halve the phone body. To do this, insert the SRT-6 case dismantling tool or a credit card into the gap between the back and front of the case and run it around the perimeter of the phone, prying the latches that connect the parts of the case.
If the body is almost separated, but the halves are kept in one place, then there is no need to apply excessive force. Check for a screw in the area. See point 2.
Please note that parts of the case may be connected by cables, be careful and do not act abruptly. First, open the case a little and look inside. Usually the cable is located on one side, so parts of the case can be unfolded like a book and the cable can be disconnected without any problems.
Next we take out the motherboard. It can be mounted on the back of the case or on the front (on the display module) - depending on your luck. Unscrewing the motherboard is not difficult. Pay great attention to the cables that go from the motherboard to the peripheral components and display module. It is often necessary to first disconnect the connectors on one side of the motherboard, then lift it up and disconnect the remaining connectors.
Lots of daisy chain connections. 
Now you can move on to the display. Most modern phones have a display module glued to the body; in addition, the touch glass is glued to the matrix. If some part of the display module is glued, you first need to heat the adhesive joint with a hairdryer. Then, if the gap between the elements allows, take several picks and stick them around the perimeter between the elements. If the gap is minimal, then it is better not to do this. Then take a tool for disassembling the cases and insert it under one of the edges, heat the edge with a hairdryer and lightly pry the glued part with the tool. The glue will give way and the edge will begin to peel off. Warm up and move the tool around the perimeter of the glued part.
At this stage, there is a high probability of damaging the touch screen or matrix.
Assembly is carried out in reverse order. It is best to clean all initially glued elements from the old adhesive base and glue them with new adhesive tape.
For modding, maintenance or cleaning, it is often necessary to disassemble a cell phone. How to do this, how to disassemble a cell phone - this question has been asked more than once on the forum. This is exactly why this short guide was written.
You will be surprised, but almost all cell phones are disassembled according to the same principle.

As a child, after reading the story “Old Man Hottabych,” I was especially impressed by how Hottabych, with a snap of the fingers of his left hand, creates a telephone “from a single piece of the finest black marble.” True, this phone had one drawback - it didn’t work: “In this case, it’s clear why this phone doesn’t work,” Volka said. — You only made a mock-up of the phone, without everything that is supposed to be inside. And inside the device is exactly the most important thing.” It was then that I became interested in the question of what was inside the phone. One such telephone - however, not made of marble, but of bakelite - stood on my parents’ table, and I, driven by curiosity, took it apart. After assembly, I was left with a lot of extra parts, and my parents had to buy a new phone.

Over the past three decades, technology has changed significantly. Inside the Lenovo S90 you won't see what I saw: no carbon microphones, no magnets with wire coils and cardboard speaker cones, no pulse dial with gears, a spring and a split flywheel for the centrifugal speed control. In a modern smartphone, there are generally not many parts that can be taken apart - they are arranged into fairly large non-separable units, and the parts are packed extremely compactly inside the case. It is not always possible to disassemble and then assemble your smartphone yourself. So Popular Mechanics did it for you.
1. The anodized aluminum back cover is available in three colors: platinum, gold, and graphite gray. The matte finish of the case resists fingerprints, so the case always looks clean.
2. The frame increases the rigidity of the body. It also houses some of the structural elements. 3. Super AMOLED display covered with Gorilla Glass protection
3. Capacitive touch sensor (touchscreen) is integrated into the display. A cable for connecting to the motherboard is also visible.
4. Motherboard (main) board with processor, graphics accelerator and memory. The board contains connectors for connecting the display, side power and volume buttons, main camera, front camera, battery and coaxial antenna cable. The board-to-board connector is located on the back of the board.
5. Polyphonic speaker
6. Antenna amplifier
7. Main camera. The flash for it is located on the motherboard.
8. Front (front) camera with integrated optical image stabilization system.
9. Board with connectors for connecting a charger and an inter-board cable. The round “tablet” on the wire is a micromotor with an eccentric for vibration alert and tactile feedback when pressing keys.
10. Earpiece speaker.
11, 13. Fastenings.
12. Front camera LED flash.
14. Lithium polymer battery.
15. Tray for two SIM cards.
16. Antenna.
17. Volume and power button cable.
18. Board-to-board loop.
