Open up your wireless cell phone.
Cell phones are rather rugged, designed to sustain minor impacts. After all, the phones are constantly being tossed around and they travel more than most other electronic devices. However, you can still disassemble cell phones. This allows you to upgrade hardware on the device, or just to see the inner workings of your wireless device.
Instructions
1. Power down the cell phone, then remove the battery from the back of the phone. Take out any SIM cards or other memory sticks inside the phone. The SIM card is typically found behind the battery. Slide the card out of its housing slot to remove it. If your phone has an additional memory card, the slot is on the exterior of the phone (usually on the side). Open the cover to the memory card slot, then push the memory card in. This unlocks the memory card and ejects it from the card slot (it functions in a similar way to a 'clicky' pen).
2. Remove the small screws found on the back of the phone. If the Phillps screwdriver does not fit into the screws, use a Torx driver. These screws are often used by cell phones, but the exact size varies.
3. Slide off the cover of the phone once the screws are free. If you have a flip phone, remove the small screws at the bottom of the phone's screen (when the phone is open). This reveals the wire connection between the screen and the keyboard. Disconnect this and the two parts come free of each other.
4. Remove the screw found on the motherboard of the phone. This is the single computer board found in the middle. Once the screw is out, you can take out the motherboard.
5. Gently pull out the inside chamber where the battery is housed. Now that the motherboard is out, you have free access to it. Once you remove this chamber, the entire phone is open and taken apart.
