Nokia 5800 DIY repair

Details: do-it-yourself nokia 5800 repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Immediately after the first batches of Nokia 5800 phones fell into the hands of their owners, complaints about incorrect display operation in this model became more frequent. After unlocking the keyboard, stripes (vertical or horizontal) appeared on the screen, which made it impossible to further use the device, given that the phone is touch-sensitive, and even its keyboard is displayed on the screen.

A manufacturing defect was found to be the cause of these problems. All attempts to fix the problem did not bring results (or it was short-lived). Later, all workshops and service centers that repair Nokia phones came to the conclusion that this problem disappears only with a complete replacement of the smartphone display.

A similar procedure is also necessary in case of damage to the matrix, when the following "symptoms" occur: complete or partial absence of an image, "streaks", cracks, spots and other interference. All of these problems concern the screen itself (not to be confused with the touch glass). If you have some skills, tools and parts (in fact, you need a new display), you can easily change a failed part.

Before starting work, remove the memory card, SIM card and battery. Then check for the presence of such tools: tweezers, a T5 Phillips screwdriver, a pick (craftsmen use an ordinary bank plastic card instead). After removing the back cover, four bolts will be visible along the edges, which must be unscrewed and removed with tweezers.

Next, we disconnect the panels with a pick along the side seams.

The use of special devices eliminates mechanical damage to the body parts. Remember: the top and bottom panels are connected by a cable, and our task is not to damage it during disassembly. After detaching the top of the lid, the display is practically accessible. In order to remove it, fold back the touch panel, release the cable from under the metal cover, having previously unscrewed two more bolts on its sides.

The main board is located immediately below it, so be extremely careful at this stage.

When removing the cover for a while, remember which side it was attached to inside. After we have bent the base of the cable out of the corresponding connector, you can completely remove the damaged display from the phone. This must be done carefully, without pressing hard. Keep in mind that initially the part is glued to the base, but not very tightly.

The main part of the work is behind, it remains to return everything to its place in the reverse order. So, first we insert the base of the cables into the newly freed connector.

Then we put the metal cover in place and secure it with two bolts. Closer to the upper left corner of the case, we restore the connecting cable between the front and rear parts of the case.

After replacing the screen and before the complete assembly, you should check its operability, and only if it is turned on correctly, complete the assembly. Of course, Nokia has already fixed this defect, but this instruction can be useful simply when disassembling the phone, or if you need to replace the screen.

Smartphone owners with electronics skills will have no difficulty in eliminating the screen defect on their own.This is much easier to do than, for example, replacing the display for a laptop or tablet. On the other hand, even if you are confident in your abilities, it will be safer to contact a workshop for help. So you will have insurance in case of breakdowns during the repair process or even a guarantee for new parts (from 30 days or more).
