Samsung SPH-M360 Keyboard Replacement

Locate the arrow on the panel of the rear side of the phone.

Use one or two fingers to apply light pressure downwards on the rear panel and push or pull in the direction of the arrow.

Place finger inside the small semi-spherical slot near the top of the battery.

Lightly pull the battery away from the phone. This should not require much effort.

Remove the four screws on the corners of the casing.

Starting near the top of the casing, use the plastic opening tool to gently pry the casing open.

Slowly work the plastic opening tool around the edge of the casing, gently prying it around at all sides.

Once the casing has been fully pried off of the phone, it should be easily removed by hand.

Use the plastic opening tool to gently detach the golden strip from the logic board.

The strip should detach easily with little force required.

Use the plastic opening tool to pry the logic board out of the phone case from the bottom area of the phone.

Flip the logic board over and locate the three screws along the edges.

Carefully unscrew the three screws to remove the panel covering the logic board.

Flip the logic board back over and use the plastic opening tool to remove the metal cover on the logic board.

This will not require much force, so be gentle.

Flip open the phone so that the text on the keyboard is showing.

Place one or two fingers on the text side of the keyboard and apply pressure until the keyboard has been completely detached from the phone casing.
