EditStep 3

EditStep 4

EditStep 5

Remove 7 bolts.

Release clickholders, 5 pcs (green). The back should

lift up from the surround.

Release from the bottom up.

Be careful around the camera, as theres a

Flex cable right under it, attatched to the

logicboard.

2

Release the Flex cable by lifting the lower end off the

logic board, and lift off the back assembly.

3

Remove the logic/motherboard.

Push the motherboard from the keypad side, it

should pop out

Be careful with:

the small clips...

...and the rubber USB port plug :)

Start loosening the board from the end with the 2

red circles.

EditStep 7

EditStep 8

2

Release Screen flexcable + lift off of adhesive under

flexcable!

Remove 7 bolts (black ones), holding the

slide/screen in place.

1

Remove 3 bolts, top right one is covered, look

carefully

The Green line, shows where to flick the slide off of

the screen assembly!

Easiest way: is to flick it at the top, where you

removed 2 bolts. It will come off, pretty easy.

Once slide is removed, you got access to LCD and

touch assembly. Easily remove the small flexcable

from touch to LCD and take off LCD.

Only the Touch screen is left -> next.

EditStep 9

EditStep 10

The LCD and the Touch glass CAN NOT be

separated!!!!!!!!

Go to step 10!

4

Use a thin tool to wiggle the touch screen from the

metal+plastic frame, and then throw the lcd + touch

screen into the BIN (ONLY IF U NEED TO REPLACE

LCD OR TOUCH SCREEN)

I hope this 10 step guide helps some of you guys out

there!

AGAIN:

THE LCD + TOUCH GLASS CANNOT BE

SEPARATED! BUY NEW ASSEMBLY!

@ Step 10: How a new LCD panel with the digitizer are glued again on to the metallic part???

George, Jan 10 2012

George:

U need a "special" adhesive tape, a thin one, as the kind used for iphone 3GS touch screens.

Or you can buy another kind, it just have to be thin, STRONG and double sided!

What you do is: Cut the adhesive so it fits metal fram, NOT covering the sensors around the top.

After doing so, u fold the flex cables as they were on the old part. There should be some adhesive already on the LCD flex cables,

that needs to be removed.

When thats done, you remove the coveredge on the doublesided adhesive tape, and place the touch + LCD firmly on it, now, press

and hold for about 30seks, till you belive the touch is holding, mind the corners, press here also!

THEN your done, assemble the phone again, close your eyes and press the power button, hopefully your "lucky" and you got a

picture on the screen hehe :D Good luck mate.

contact me on Skype: CRATERHEAD

Thanks so much! I'll probably get this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Iphone-Touch-Pan...

George, Jan 16 2012

Åhh yes sir, my bad, the LCD aint glued to a metallic part, but its glued to the touch screen wich CAN NOT be separated!! Just like the

iPhone 4, LCD screens + touch.

The touch glass however is softly glued to the "metallic" frame, bo biggie to remove!

Because:

In any case, you will need to buy a LCD assembly with the LCD already assemled with the touch screen!

Here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280781653630?s...

I will add

Please scan, and "like".

And comment on my guide if you want :)

Thanks for watching!

<-- #BadNews... This is what happens if you try

removing the touch glass from the LCD

ArHerning, Jan 10 2012

Hey dude...I am in a bad situation..I broke my mini pro some time back and ordered a touchscreen digitizer from here :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Digitizer-To...

Now, when I gave my handset to someone for repair, he sys me that he cannot change only the touchscreen because its glued badly

to LCD and thus, will break even the LCD if he tries to do that. Now, he has made even my phone non usable and bad looking since

he broke the touch component badly while repairing. What do you suggest..? Should he try to separate LCD and touch or is it of no

use..? Shall I get my money refunded for touchscreen. Why is only then touchscreen being sold if they cannot be separated from

LCD..:O..? Shall I better buy the complete assembly..? Please reply ..Thanks

manjo3311, Jan 14 2012

"Why is only then touchscreen being sold if they cannot be separated from LCD..:O..? "

---> That's a good question! :P Digitizer is glued with the LCD panel, so you have to buy the whole set and use adhesive tape as Mr.

ArHerning just said. Do not try to seperate.

George, Jan 16 2012

any answers to this.: http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/77008...

Why is digitizer coming up..? Is it not glued properly to LCD or is it not glued properly to the mettalic part since its just from sides..?

manjo3311, Jan 23 2012

Akshit, Mar 2 2012

Hello mate..

I would say, take it to the dealer, and simpely tell him that it cant be Right that such a drop should take out the screen.

If he doesnt Care, i Can fix it for you, or Im sure some one In your country Can.

About quality, you wont sense the difference :) i have never Got Any complaints :)

You just gotta be sure that the person who does it, knows whats he's doing!!!

If you need more answers, mail mé: [email protected]

:D good Day sir

ArHerning, Mar 3 2012

please please please I want you to show me how to be dismantled sony ericsson xperia mini (note: not sony ericsson xperia mini

pro) this is my link on facebook:((http://www.facebook.com/abdulla.saifelar...)) please do not forget me and I will be grateful to

you..........thank you.............I waiting

abdulla el gibaly, Mar 17 2012

Im Sorry to hear This mate.. But hopefully he didnt glue the LCD!

Just open the phone again and redo the attatchment of the touch screen, remember to remove ALL the leftovers from the old glue

wich is a Dark clothish adhesive!

Reattatch the touch properly and your good to Go!

Hehe him being a noob, i told you to find a guy whom put some pride into his work :D

Anyways, good luck!

@Abdulla:

Its pretty much the same procedure as the pro. Just take it easy on your way, not pushing any of the fragile plastic parts to much,

they will brake!

Just take it easy from the back and through the phone to the front, its kl problem.

ArHerning, Mar 17 2012

hi i need your help, im replacing the lcd screen on my sk17i myself and am having troubles getting the logic board off :/ don't want

Somebody... HELP ME...

I allready replace the screen... but... the speakers do not give me any sound, in calling and ring mode...

How can I fix this problem?

I call the Sonyericson and told me... "may be a flex... but only sold by Operators on your country"... I'm from Venezuela and the

operators do not sold any parts from them...

I replaced my whole LCD screen. The phone is working, but the screen has black lines across the top. What could the problem be?

Could the new screen be a bad part?

tony , Aug 8 2012

thanks, following your guide I succeeded to replace my screen , the screws where very tight,one I couldn't loose but since I am a

dentist, I used my bur clockwise rotating and happily I got it released. My phone is like new again. I hope I won't have to do it again

Paul Fivez, Aug 23 2012

Thank you so much for this guide! I was able to replace my shattered screen easily because of it!

As for the glue - I used some Permatex Ultra Black - an RTV silicone adhesive commonly found in autoparts stores.

I carefully applied some using a cotton swab, and then wiped off any excess after putting the screen in the frame. I was very careful

not to get any behind the camera, proximity sensor, etc....

Arjun Bhatnagar, Apr 3 2013

Hej!

Thank you very much for this guide.

Without it I probably wouldn't have dared to replace the LCD+touch screen myself. It assured me, that it can be done successfully.

Using your guide the replacement was easy.

Franz, May 19 2013

great guide many thanks

dave, Jul 9 2013

hey i've sk17i.. it's display not responding properly, it stop responding suddenly then later it stars after restarting.. should i've to

replace display or jus replacing strip wil work?? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

raj, Jul 17 2013

How do I "release the flex cable"? Thanks!

xianndc22, Jun 20 2012

I figured it out. You just lift it from the place it's connected, the flat square end comes up revealing a square underneath. I used a

screwdriver to gently pry it up.

xianndc22, Jun 20 2012

My motherboard doesn't seem to come up. A few other commenters had this problem I think. Any ideas?

xianndc22, Jun 20 2012

I had to disconnect the screen cable first.

xianndc22, Jun 20 2012

To release the logic board, you need to release the ribbon cable at the side (carefully lift the flat steel strip) and remove the rubber

stopper from the USB port. Then slide out the keyboard and gently push on the keys to release the board from its clips. Once it's

part of the way up try slipping a fingernail or similar under the board and gently pry it up until it comes loose.

Rob Kemp, Jul 23 2012

Do you know what the screw models are?

Yeng , Mar 22 2012

In this photo we can still see the keyboard, right? This is confusing to me, because I supposed it should have been removed with the

motherboard in the previous step...

Step 10

Yuyu, Jun 29 2013

The lay out of my phone on step 7 is *completely* different to this particular image. Further to this the one screw in step seven has

been glued in place. There is also no way to release the screen cable in step six.

You can see here the layout is completely different -

james, yesterday

There is a possibility to remove the touch panel and glass from the lcd-screen. They are glued together, but with help of a hairdryer

and a thin peace of plastic you can make the adhesive warm and there are able to split the two from each other.

Clean the residu of the adhesive from the lcd with any detergent, so you are able to reuse the lcd itself. Be very careful though and

take your time.

Thanks for great instructions.

Worst part was removing the glue from the frame.

Since I had a new screen/digitizer I used brute force

ch vos, Sep 29 2012

Hey!

I've installed a new lcd + digitizer assembly to my phone. Only problem is that the lcd stops showing picture if touched. The touch

part still works fine still. Can be tested at the lockscreen. Do you know what might be the problem?

Juuso Jalava, May 12 2013

I have got too this problem. When i touch to the right side of the touch glass screen goes blinking and suddenly went black. To

identify the reason i deliberately obseved the front glass panel. I saw that there was an in out movement in the right side of touch

glass in reponse of my firm touch. So in my idea the front glass losed its stickness with the lcd. I dont know what to do now. Can

you give me any idea?
