A Motorola V3i it's from the "RAZR" series.

The V3i had an improved camera resolution with 1,3Mpix and a external Memoryslot (MicroSD) for additional storage. Even if it had serveral problems with the keyboard and handling, it's one of the most sold mobilephones in the world.

    • You need to detach these two plastic lashes from the surounding.

    • Now you can remove this transparent plastic case.

    • The metal thing on the end of the picture is the antenna.

    • Vibra motor.

    • Mini USB.

    • Connector for the antenna.

    • After I took these EMI shields away it looks like this...

    • Remove these 4 rubbers.

    • Then remove the four torx screws.

    • You can easily lose these rubbers. (That's why I have only 3 of them...)

    • Filp the device and you can remove the top housing.

    • Remove the three buttons on the side of the device.

    • Remove the connector to the mainboard...

    • and to the camera.

    The front cover can be very stubborn to remove as the clips may be very tight. Just persevere with your plastic opening tools. Two can be better than one here.

    • Lift up the speaker.

    • Then, that's a tricky part,remove all the buttons around the screen housing. Caution: They are really thin and they easily break!

    • After you did this tricky part you can lift the top of the phone away.

    • Around the screen there are some lashes. Detach them to release the screen of the metal housing.

    • Then you can lift the metal housing up.

    • Again there's a small lash on the botton of the front screen housing.

    • After that you can remove the front screen with the PCB.

    • The front screen.

    • Yes, my front screen has some dead pixels. (They are pink?!)
