BlackBerry 8703e Screen Replacement

Position your phone like the first image so that the highlighted button is on your left.

Slide the battery cover to the left while pressing the button with one hand and applying pressure on the center of the phone with your other hand.

Remove the cover completely and set it aside.

Position your phone like the image to the left, then locate the rectangular battery in the middle of the phone.

Locate the notch on the top right of the battery compartment.

Slide your fingernail or the flat end of a Spudger in the notch, then lift upwards on the top of the battery to remove it from the phone.

Set the battery aside and out of the way.

Make sure the back of the phone is facing upwards like the image on the left.

Remove all three screws highlighted in the image by turning them counter-clockwise using the T6 Torx Screwdriver.

Locate the notch in the back of the phone.

Use your thumb to push up on the notch, separating the back half of the phone from the keyboard and screen in the front.

Slide the opening tool in between the two halves of the phone.

Continually apply upward pressure with the opening tool to pop the back casing off of the main body.

Set the back casing aside and out of the way.

Remove these four screws by turning them counter-clockwise with the T6 Torx Screwdriver.

Hold the phone so the screen faces downward like in the first image, and remove the front casing.

Remove the two keyboard components from the front casing, then set them aside.

The port protector is shown in the picture and located on the upper left side when looking at the screen of the phone.

If the port protector did not fall off when removing the front casing and keyboard components, remove it and set it to the side.

You should be able to easily remove the battery housing from the logic board by simply pulling them apart.

You should now have 7 main components: battery cover, battery, back casing, front casing (including both keyboard pieces), port protector, battery housing and logicboard with screen attached.

You should also have 7 screws.

With the screen facing down, gently use both thumbs to push down and slightly out on the 2 highlighted hooks attaching the bottom of the screen to the logic board.

With caution repeat this for the 2 hooks attaching the top of the screen to the logic board.

There is a small strip on the upper left of the screen that is connected to the logic board by a small black clip. It is highlighted in the picture.

Holding the screen and logic board together, use the plastic opening tool to push the clip into the up position as shown in the picture.

With the clip in the up position, remove the screen from the logic board.
