The front keypad suffers a lot of wear-and-tear, but can be easily replaced. This guide will show you how to remove the old keypad so that you may install a new one.

    • Remove the two triangular pads at the top of the two speakers.

    • These pads have adhesive to keep them situated, so you may want to use a fine-tipped object, such as a screwdriver or a pen, to remove them. It is easiest to place the fine-tipped object in the small indent in the corner of these pads.

    • Remove the two rubber cylinders from their shafts. These cover more screws.

    • This requires a little more effort, so you may need to "dig" them out.

    • Now remove the four screws.

    • The screws are small, so put them somewhere that you can easily keep track of them.

    • Starting on the side with blue square, pry the faceplate upwards with the flat end of a spudger.

    • Continue to slide the flat edge along the seam of the faceplate.

    • You should hear popping or snapping noises as the faceplate is being removed.

    • The faceplate is attached by wires, so do not pull the faceplate very far away from the phone.

    • The faceplate is still attached through speakers that travel from the ear-piece to the motherboard.

    • Carefully wedge the flat or pointed end of the spudger beneath the ear-piece and the faceplate.

    • This may require a bit of force, as the ear-piece is stuck to the faceplate with adhesive.

    • The faceplate and keypad can now be completely removed from the phone.
