HTC Touch Disassembly
This is a guide to illustrate how to completely disassemble the HTC Touch, including the digitizer
What you need:
T5 Screwdriver
#2 Screwdriver
Plastic opening tools
The steps for disassembly:
- If you want to be on the safe side I’d also recommend using anti static gloves
- To start, remove the back cover by pushing it upwards and sliding it off Remove the battery and stylus
- Using the T5 screwdriver remove the 4 screws at each corner of the main chassis
- Remove the rear speaker at the top of the main chassis by lifting it off
- To remove the front housing, use a plastic tool to get between the front part of the case and the chrome rim. Work it around the edge to release all of the catches
- Now you need to disconnect the front housing from the mainboard by using a plastic tool to gently lift the connection from the mainboard
- Next, disconnect the vibration part by lifting the red and black wired connection from the mainboard
- To remove the mainboard from the chassis, gently pull the USB connection upwards.
- Once it is just out, pull it clear using the sides – avoid touching it as much as possible
- To remove the camera, simply pull it away from the mainboard in the same way as the front housing separates from the mainboard…
