Nokia 3600 & Variants

When dismantling any phone, great care should be taken to ensure that no damage is caused to any of the parts.  Rough handling may result in severe damage of many parts, and if proper anti-static procedures are not followed, electrostatic damage may result in any electronic component.

Before commencing, it is recommended that the correct tools are purchased for the job in hand - at the very least, you will require a Torx T6 screwdriver. 

Step 1.  Press the release button to begin removal of the front fascia.

Step 2.  Release the two side clips and lift the fascia away.

Step 3.  Press the release button (1) and remove the battery cover in the direction shown by (2).

Step 19.  Use a flat bladed screwdriver to release the connector retainer.

Step 22.  Take acre not to damage the connecting pins when releasing the battery connector.
