The phone itself!

Notice the bad lighting, dirty phone etc. just proves how hi-tec i am.

Removing the boring stuff. Back cover, battery etc.

The battery!

It shows 1500mAh, decent.

also the manufacturing date is shown.

I added a piece of sticky tack, to cover up the IMEI code, again showing how hi-tec i am!

This is the point of no return when it comes to warranty.

But that's okay, i'm using this phone for spares anyways.

Sticky tack

Screws, 7 to be exact!

Here comes the first tricky part. it's easiest to start right under the volume button, and work your way from there.

And it's off!

Lets see the innards of this thing.

The back camera.

And the front facing camera

The speaker, actually quite large.

Water detector on the plastic cover, as you can see, this is a water damaged phone. normally you would see a purple pattern.

Contacts, probably for antennas.

Better close ups of the components.

Vibration motor

Taking off the speaker.

Remember to lift the tab on me!

And it's off!

Now for the camera!

Both the rear and front camera are a single component.

Now for the motherboard!

Detach all (4) of these to get the motherboard out.

Done! (do not try to remove yet)

Now detach the power button, its held down by a little bit of glue, not a big deal.

Lift it carefully, making sure no connectors are stuck on. Especially the one marked red.

Front/back

Flash memory.

CPU running at 1Ghz, but can be overclocked.

Volume buttons.

Ill add more specific specs when i get around to it.

Removing the cable for sim/sd card slot..

And it's off.

The simcard/sd card slot.

And the stuff underneath.

Now for the metal Shielding on the back! again, more specs coming (hopefully) soon.

Parts parts parts!

And a bad white balance..

Now for the component that holds the headphone jack, earpiece and both proximity and light sensor.

This thing quite literally just pulls off. you can remove it without any special tools!

Now for the bottom portion, including the Mic, vibrating engine and the antenna board.

We seem to be connected together!

Disconnect, unplug, take off..

see that? the AMOLED display is actually transparent!

Can't go farther than this without a heat gun that I don't have. I tried removing the bezel, but with no luck.

That's about it! Thank you for reading, and please give me feedback!

This is my first teardown, and pictures were taken with a functional Galaxy s phone.
