Nokia Lumia 610 Touchscreen Glass / Digitizer Assembly Replacement

The first thing you'll need is a Nokia Lumia 610 with a broken front glass

Slide the back cover off, and remove the battery

There are 8 Torx 5 screws you have to remove, 4 on each side

After removing all 8 screws, proceed to prying off the back cover

This is done very easily, by prying it from the 3 grooves depicted

This step might also be done using your nails, as the clips are not strong at all

Watch out - the buttons easily fall out; just make sure you don't loose any, a'aight ?!

Lift the back cover up, and pull it back - most likely, the 2 sided tape sealing the camera module will be the last thing to break loose

Make sure you stick it back to the rear case assembly after this step

Disconnect the 2 ribbon cables connecting the LCD & Digitizer to the motherboard

Now to separate the Motherboard from the front assembly !

Gently pry on the 2 hooks depicted in the picture to release the motherboard

Again - using your nails should be just fine !

Lift the motherboard up from the back, and pull it backwards

Apply the same motion as with the back casing

You should now have separated the motherboard from the LCD/Digitizer Assembly

To detach the LCD, gently lift it from the sides - be careful, and don't pull too hard on the ribbon cable !

It's secured in with pretty weak double-sided tape, so this step shouldn't be a problem

Remove the ear-piece speaker from the Digitizer Assembly

It's held in by - again - pretty weak double-sided tape

2nd picture gives you a look of the front of the speaker unit - it's pretty hard to damage the membrane - though, you can never be too careful !

Something very easy to forget - remove the tiny rubber gasket for the microphone, and place it in the new front panel

To put everything back together, just follow the same steps backward, and you should have yourself a good-as-new Nokia Lumia 610

The last step in this guide - is trying not to break it again :)
