Replace a Nokia 5300 Screen
The 5300 is a Nokia brand new cell phone. In addition to being a phone that can send and receive calls, the 5300 also has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera and a music player with a 2GB MicroSD card. One thing that is a concern for most people is the fragile nature of the phone's LCD screen. Phones can be dropped or damaged very easily which can cause the LCD screen to crack. If this happens, the process for replacing the Nokia 5300's screen is actually quite simple.
Instructions
1. Remove the back panel of the phone and take out the battery. Don't remove the Sim card from the phone, just the battery.
2. Slide a flat thin object along the edge of the front cover of the phone to remove the faceplate. It's held on by small plastic clips, so you may have to push these in to remove the faceplate.
3. Remove the four screws that hold on the metal cover resting on top of the phone's LCD screen. There's one screw at each corner of the metal cover. Pull the metal piece off and carefully set it aside.
4. Remove the phone's LCD screen. To do this, locate the film-like ribbon that leads away from the screen and connects to the top of the phone. Lift up on the small plastic tab that holds down the ribbon. Once the tab is released, the LCD screen can be removed.
5. Place the new LCD screen in the exact spot where you removed the old one in Step 4. The new screen will have its own gold ribbon. Place the end of the ribbon inside the plastic tab and press down on it so that it holds the LCD connection in place. Once reassembled, the components that you removed during these steps, and your replacement screen, should work like new.
