    New flagship Nokia, the N8 smartphone, is equipped with a metal body and a non-removable battery. In ordinary life, it is unlikely that there may be a need to disassemble the gadget (except to satisfy curiosity), but if water gets into the case or the battery wants to be changed to a new one, the owner of the N8 will have only two ways: contact a service center or take a screwdriver and do everything on one's own. How exactly to disassemble this smartphone at home - read on.
    
    So our victim is the just-released Nokia N8.
    
    Here are the technical characteristics of the new item:
    - ARM11 processor with a clock frequency of 680 MHz
    - AMOLED touchscreen display with a resolution of 640 × 360 pixels, 3.5 ″ diagonal and multitouch technology
    - 256 MB RAM
    - 512 MB internal NAND memory and 16 GB user accessible
    - 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, xenon flash and 16: 9 video recording at 720p at 25 fps
    - The 12-megapixel autofocus camera protrudes noticeably from the body. And as we already know from the example of other smartphones, the thickness of the camera determines the thickness of the phone. This means that if you have a powerful module, you shouldn't expect an ultra-thin case from the device.
    
    “The lenses in the camera are said to be made up of five individually processed optical elements. This allows you to get high quality images using a rather modest size device.
    
    - Nokia decided that the camera should protrude on the surface of the back cover. This way, the phone has something to grab onto, and it helps you get the phone out of your pocket.However, putting it back in is no longer very convenient.
    
    The N8 not only has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, but also mini-HDMI and micro-USB connectors.
    
    - The smartphone has the following buttons: power on, "home", lock, camera and volume controls.
    
    - The SIM and microSD card slots are installed next to each other on the side of the phone. Hot swappable memory card is supported.
    
    - With the help of the front camera and applications such as Fring and Skype, the owner can make video calls not only to other phones, but also to computers.
    
    - It is best to start disassembling your smartphone with these 4-sided screws.
    
    - Now the panel covering the bottom of the smartphone can be removed.
    
    - By removing the bottom panel, you can remove the small battery compartment latch.
    
    - You can then remove the hologram battery.
    
    “Although it requires two screws to be unscrewed, removing and replacing the battery is not that difficult.
    
    - Nokia says that the used Li-Ion battery BL-4D 3.7 V with a capacity of 1200 mAh is non-removable. Oh well…
    
    - The hologram on the battery should probably ensure that you received genuine Nokia products.
    
    - After removing the protective cover, you can unscrew the 5-point screw next to the mini-HDMI port.
    
    - Then you can remove the upper part of the housing. There are a few more screws underneath.
    
    - The phone opens like a shell.
    
    - Wires are still connecting the bezel to other parts of the phone, so proceed with caution.
    
    - Fortunately, the protective glass is not firmly attached to the AMOLED display, so if it breaks, then you only have to replace it, and not the entire screen.
    
    - On the back of the display the inscription - AMS347FF01-0.
    
    - It also contains information about when the display was made.
    
    - Used a Synaptics T1201A touchscreen controller. The same chip can be found in Microsoft Kin Two and RIM BlackBerry Torch.
    
    - Comparison of the display of the N8 with the display of the fourth generation iPod touch. The difference between LCD and AMOLED is that AMOLED takes on a bluish tint when exposed to direct light.
    
    - Several hex screws and an antenna attach the middle panel to the insides of the N8.
    
    - The rear of the AMOLED display rests on six dedicated pads on the middle panel.
    
    - The main antennas are located near the flat plastic plates at the top and bottom of the phone, as shown in the photos.
    
    - By unscrewing the screws and removing the antennas, you can remove the middle panel of the N8.
    
    - The design of the middle panel deserves special attention. The main chips of the phone are protected by a special screen. In addition, special thermal panels are placed on the inside, which are supposed to remove heat from the chips.
    
    - With the increase in the speed of processors and the expansion of the functionality of devices, temperature control becomes more and more important, because overheating can damage the phone.
    
    - By removing the middle panel, the motherboard can be easily removed.
    
    - It is worth noting the design of the daughterboard, which is located at the top of the motherboard. It is connected to the main one using a ribbon cable, which is sandwiched between the layers of the motherboard.
    
    - In most devices, ribbon cables are connected using special connectors or plugged into connectors, rather than being pinched by layers of the board.
    
    The motherboard of Nokia N8 consists of chips:
    - Toshiba THGBM1G7D4FBA13 K23538 (16GB internal storage)
    - Samsung K5W4G2GACA - AL54 (CPU + DDR RAM + NAND ROM)
    - Broadcom BCM2727 GPU with Dedicated 3D Graphics
    - 4380044 9920Q VJ (RF Transceiver) from STMicroelectronics
    - EPCOS D1053
    - RENESAS 09801A
    - 4376057 GAZ0035G (Baseband) from Texas Instruments
    - By removing the motherboard panel, you can also remove the flash.
    
    - Unlike most smartphones that use a single or dual LED flash, the N8 has a built-in xenon flash - similar to those found in most cameras.
    
    - Large capacitor allows high voltage to be stored to make the flash brighter.
    
    - The loudspeaker must be removed from the adhesive on the back.
    
    - The speaker system is mainly used for conversations, as well as for playing melodies stored in the phone's memory.
    
    - Nokia N8 Suitability for Repair: 8 out of 10 (10 is the easiest to repair).
    
    “Although Nokia counted on the user not being able to change the battery, it’s quite easy to do.
    
    - AMOLED display easily separates from glass. This means that you can replace the display or glass independently of each other.
    
    - The parts of the phone are mostly mechanically connected to each other, there is very little glue.
    
    - To remove the front glass, you will have to use a heat gun. However, when heated, metal does not deform as easily as plastic.
    
    - None of the cameras can be removed from the phone.
    
    We disassemble the Nokia N8 phone to replace the display or housing.

    Video instructions for disassembly and repair Nokia N8
    
    On the upper side, unscrew the bolt located under the port plug. It holds the entire block, so the top part cannot be removed otherwise.
    
    Let's move on to the display module. We unscrew the screw located under the upper block.
    
    We turn the smartphone over and raise the display. It will not be difficult to do this now.
    
    Then we disconnect the cables that go from the screen and touchscreen to the motherboard.
    
    The glass can be set aside. We proceed to remove the board-to-board panel. Unscrew all the bolts around the perimeter.
    
    At the top, remove the Wi-Fi antenna. It acts as a kind of paper clip connecting the back and board-to-board panels.
    
    We disconnect the elements of the case. In the photo, a non-working Nokia speaker is highlighted in a red circle.
    
    We carefully remove it. You can install a new one in the same place.
    
    Having lifted the board, we will immediately see the polyphonic speaker, which also needs to be replaced. By the way, to make it easier to choose the right model of the spare part, the damaged one has a special marking, according to which the replacement part is selected.
    
    We pry it off with a spatula. Voila - and it's out!
    
    Once the functional parts have been installed, the communicator can be reassembled. This is done in the reverse order.
    
    It is worth noting that it is rather problematic to buy quality spare parts in the city, so the service centers work directly with suppliers. That is why it is better to entrust Nokia phone repair to specialists who will not only carry out the work quickly and with high quality, but also provide a guarantee for several months.
    
    After users received the N 97 rather coldly, the new Nokia N8 smartphone became the main competitor to the iPhone 4 and high-end Android devices. Putting everything on the N 8, the Finnish company literally "stuffed" this smartphone with various features. It's pretty interesting to see what's actually inside this phone.
    
    The main advantage of the Nokia N8 in terms of hardware (apart from the fact that the N8 has become the first modern Nokia device in the last two years) is the 12-megapixel camera and its massive flash. The Nokia N8 is one of the few devices with a xenon flash (and the accompanying large capacitor).
    
    The body of the N8 is made of more metal than is usually found in phones, which makes the device quite sturdy. To be honest, there are many such "powerful" devices on the market. On the strength scale of 10 points, Nokia N8 can be given 8 points for three main reasons: the glass is not combined with the AMOLED display, the battery is easy to replace, and in general the device as a whole is easy to disassemble and assemble. In short, even a child will be able to correctly disassemble this smartphone.

  - The resource ifixit.com, which specializes in disassembling mobile devices, dissected the Nokia N8 and found out how easy it is to disassemble a smartphone to change the battery and repair it yourself:
    
    “The 12-megapixel camera protruding from the surface of the body is the thickest part of the smartphone. The camera lens consists of 5 aspherical lenses. This scheme, quite complicated for a mobile device, allows you to get high-quality images at small sizes (click on the photo to view it in full resolution).
    
    In addition to the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, the N8 also features mini HDMI and MicroUSB connectors. The buttons located on the body are responsible for turning on, blocking, adjusting the volume and activating the camera. The slots for SIM and MicroSD cards are located next to each other.
    
    The presence of a front camera allows you to make video calls via Skype, Fring and other applications.
    
    At the bottom on the side faces there are 2 T4 Torx hex screws (a screwdriver for screws can be found in specialized tool stores). You need to start disassembling Nokia N8 with them.
    
    After removing the bottom cover, access to the battery opens, which can be pulled out by pulling on the film glued to it.
    
    The BL-4D 1200 mAh battery is considered by Nokia to be non-removable. But, as you can see, with some effort it can be fixed.
    
    Now open the mini HDMI plug and unscrew the T5 Torx screw. We remove the upper adjustment - we have access to two more Torx screws.
    
    The insides of Nokia N8 are two halves connected by loops, on one of which there is a screen with a touch panel, on the other - a motherboard with electronic components.
    
    The protective glass is not firmly glued to the AMOLED display: if it is damaged, only the glass will need to be replaced, not the entire display.On the back surface of the screen is the inscription "AMS347FF01-0", which means that the element was manufactured on February 2, 2010. The path from the factory to the final consumer turned out to be quite long - it took almost 9 months. The touchscreen controller uses the Synaptics T1201A chip, which can also be found in Microsoft's Kin Two and Blackberry Torch.
    
    The photo for comparison shows the displays of different types of Nokia N8 AMOLED and LCD TFT Ipod Touch 4G. The TFT screen has a matte black surface, while the AMOLED has a bluish tint.
    
    A pair of E6 Torx screws in the midplane are responsible for attaching the upper N8 antenna. Since the body of the phone is almost entirely enclosed in aluminum, this creates known problems with the placement of communication antennas and wireless interfaces. Nokia solved this issue by installing antennas on the top and bottom edges of the case, in places where plastic inserts are used.
    
    After loosening the screws, the earthing plate can be removed. The design of the Nokia N8 motherboard is very well thought out. The heat-dissipating components are equipped with heat sinks for heat dissipation, and some components are covered with additional shields to protect against radio interference.
    
    The motherboard can be easily removed from the back of the case. An additional mini-board with a camera module and a light sensor is attached to the main board with a ribbon cable.
    
    The arrangement of the components is as follows:
    - 16GB Toshiba THGBM1G7D4FBA13 K23538 memory module is circled in red
    - Orange - Samsung K5W4G2GACA, combining processor, DDR RAM and non-volatile NAND ROM
    - Yellow - a video chip with a 3D graphics accelerator Broadcom BCM2727
    - Green - transmitter STMicroelectronics 4380044 9920Q VJ
    - Blue - EPCOS D1053 receiver
    - Purple - power amplifier RENESAS 09801A
    - Black - Texas Instruments 4376057 GAZ0035G
    After removing the card from the back panel, there is still a flash module inside. Unlike most other smartphones, which use LEDs to illuminate photos, the Nokia N8 has a xenon flash, which is more typical for digital cameras than for phones. The large capacitor, which is part of the flash, allows you to store a powerful charge of energy.
    
    The mono speaker, responsible for the implementation of hands-free communication, as well as the output of soundtracks for music and films, is attached to the glue next to the camera lens.
    
    After disassembling the Nokia N8, we rated its maintainability at home 8 points out of 10. Despite the claim of a non-removable battery, you can easily replace it yourself. The AMOLED display and the protective glass are not bonded to each other, which makes it possible, if one of the elements is damaged, to replace only it, and not the entire screen assembly.
    
    The method of fastening the components is in most cases mechanical; little glue is used. You will still have to use a hair dryer to detach the protective glass, but heating metal is easier than heat-deflecting plastic. Both cameras are not removable, in case of failure of one of them you will have to contact the service. "
    
    a good article, now buyers will know what and how, and what they are preparing for in case of emergency with the phone,
    
    Well damn I can sort it out and I can And collect Vryatle
    
    Do you know the law of meanness?
    I'll disassemble, put it back together and still extra details will remain.: eek:
    
    It's the same with my laptop =)) Yesterday I disassembled it, then assembled it, all the rules, only 1 extra bolt remained ... ❓
    
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AS I WANT IT ➡
    
    Surely everyone is wondering what the actual "cost" of the most popular smartphones on the market today is. Thanks to a thorough study of the new Nokia camera phone by representatives of the iSuppli resource, we now know that the cost of the Nokia N8 components is $ 187.47.
    The components of Apple's competitor, the iPhone 4, cost almost the same. Experts once estimated their cost at $ 187.51. It is worth noting here that these calculations did not take into account the costs of assembly, software development, advertising, etc.
    
    The most expensive display in the Nokia N8 is $ 39.25.The retina display of the fourth iPhone is not much cheaper at $ 38.5. The chipset with the processor and graphics accelerator used in the N8 is twice as expensive as the Apple A4 and costs $ 22. The Nokia smartphone camera (12MP with Carl Zeiss optics) is significantly more expensive than the iPhone 4 camera: $ 31.08 versus $ 10.
    
    Thus, the cost of the components of the Nokia N8 is cheaper than those in the iPhone 4 16Gb by only four cents, but the gap in the selling price of the devices is much more tangible. You can buy the Nokia flagship in the US for $ 549, while the price tag of the new product from Apple is $ 748.99.
    
    And I was unlucky only money appeared the computer broke.
    
    Thank you very much for the review, otherwise I came across a comparison between N8 and C7 and really did not like the words, such as a non-removable battery, and even better, the lid will not dangle from rubbing!
    The fact that one speaker disappointed, if not for the complete set, I would have taken the C7, but taking everything separately costs the same price!
    It seems that the Nokievites do not deliberately collect all the advantages into one mobile phone: Nokia C7 with stereo speakers, autofocus and bundle, like the N8 - I would take this handset without hesitation!
    
    in principle, there is nothing that could not be disassembled and pulled out a couple of parts, because Akum was somehow put in there, and after that it was unlikely they were lowered into liquid metal or plastic for the integrity of the case, so if there is something in the technique, it can be pulled out , I have not once disassembled the player and the mobile phone, but I haven’t tried it with a computer yet
    
    Samsung processor is cool ...
    
    Kupil sibe takuju vesh horoshaja
    
    The only disappointment was that the CPU in it is from Samsung. And so, super tube! Outbid the sales of Н97 and 5800.
    
    I have been using a telephone for 4 or 5 months already - a cool telephone!
    
    It's good that you can change the battery, and some write it is not removable:
    
    I have been using it for 4 months, when I bought the firmware right away (I downloaded the left program) .. And so I am completely satisfied with the phone, super camera, super display, super phone.
    
    Will replacing the battery help after dipping Nokia N8 into the toilet, now it does not turn on and does not charge, brick by brick.
    
    and what for you dipped it in the toilet? the manual says that the device is not waterproof ...
    
    also dropped into the water. the phone is dead.
    In Dubai could not be repaired.
    eh guys. I spent a long time collecting this phone and finally bought it. impressions of the sea, of course, positive. the only minus is quietly playing, before that the N95 was. and lately, the phone has often written that the SIM CARD is missing. rebooted a couple of times due to ultra-high temperatures, filmed a glass-melting furnace :). and everything is super, the battery is 2 days, the camera is excellent, the connection is good. Another minus is this very thin case made of aluminum.
    
    Yes! Very useful article! Respect and respect to the author! Now I will definitely buy this miracle. 😆

    Thus, the cost of the components of the Nokia N8 is cheaper than those in the iPhone 4 16Gb by only four cents.
    
    From these words it is clear that the N8 is more expensive than the iPhone, in some positions it is 2 times, but why the iPhone came out more expensive than the N8 remains a mystery.
    
    Alas, it is unlikely to help. Of course, miracles happen, it happens that after a few months "dead" phones start working, though 99% of them with glitches, but this is a rarity.
    
    Guys, do you know if the headphone jack on the NOKIA N8 is to be replaced.
    
    it is said that part of the money went to advertising! hmm ... In untwisted stub there is no equal ...
    
    But I dipped my H8 into a puddle and nothing. And recently he swam in a bucket of solvent in my bucket, now I need to change the dynamics. I disassembled it thanks to the article, thanks.
    
    crashed into a pillar, the car is bricked with bricks, the headlights are off, the engine won't start ... will changing the oil help?
    
    Selling nokia n 8! Full set, call 89057310197 Igor! Moscow!
    
    ept how to put a sim card there ((
    
    👿 Accidentally, blindly, I inserted a USB flash drive into the SIM card slot. Now I don’t know how to get it back. Is it really necessary to disassemble? tell
    
    I have such a vollyaetsya idle who needs it?
    
    how much will the protective glass cost? And then after falling on the asphalt and immediately hitting the front wheel of a VAZ2107 car, his glass only cracked slightly, while I was using it, I did not identify other problems)
    
    💡 cool phone, can you put a battery more powerful?
    
    😎 ❗ Bought this one. Excellent mobile. ❗
    
    ❓ the manual is good. I open my n8 beer so now I myself was able to replace the lower part of the case 😕
    
    😆 Kaneshno class article. Respect for aftor and respect. Ato I bought n8 four months ago and I think about how to change the battery. But it turns out it's easy. 😮 ❓
    
    An article can be a class.
    But the top cover cannot be removed - it is latched - what to do? 👿
    
    the question is how to unfasten the main camera?
    
    Smart is super. I use it since May 2011. Internet, photos, videos, programs, everything flies. But after the firmware on Anna, and now troubles appeared on Bella. The camera stopped focusing after a year of operation. Rather, it focuses once on the third activation. When you want to take a picture, bam, everything is blurry. The camera curtains are often open at all, rarely closed. ❓
    
    n8 is still lying around? serviceability, kit, price and where to look?
    
    I don’t understand how they managed to disassemble the phone? my caviar cracked due to my stupidity I wanted to disassemble the phone it turned out only to take off the botarea as if I had cooked it and I go with cracked caviar 😮
    
    Tell me what to do!
    I dropped it into the water, dried it, but it shows gray and constantly blinks! What is wrong with it? 👿
    
    I tell everyone once. If you strongly bathe the phone in water (swimming in the toilet is from the same opera), you need to immediately swim for half an hour or you can swim more in technical alcohol, you can even more, and then dry if you need to quickly, you can only overheat with a hairdryer, yes and you need real alcohol, not diluted, and no matter how much vodka. After that, usually all phones continue to work. I checked it myself.
    
    Thanks for the detailed disassembly guide. It helped, thank you. 💡
    
    If the water is sea water, the work is in vain, with such a period. If it is fresh, there is hope, but perhaps the process is irreversible. In addition to drying, arrange a sink with a contact cleaning spray. Sold where radio parts are sold, or order under NO.
    Little drying and assembly. Good luck. 😯
