Welcome to the new home of the Celtnet Mobiles information site. This page is the second in a series of three articles that take you through the process of dismantling your Sharp GX-20 mobile/cellular phone.
In the first part of this series you learnt about the tools you need and the easy part of disassembling you Sharp GX-20. We now move to the true nitty-gritty of getting the fascias off the phone.
Removing the Fascias
With the battery and SIM card removed you can now begin the disassembly proper. We'll begin with the two visible screws at the bottom of the battery bay. As you can see the screws are a five-pointed rather than a six-pointed star so you will need a special screwdriver. These screws are relatively easy to remove and once you're done set them aside in a safe place. |
Now you can trn the phone the other way around. Taking your pin or needle gently ease out the rubber bungs that are covering the screws at the top of the phone. You may need to use a fair amount of leverage to get these out. Whilst you're at it also remove the circular cover over the antenna extension socket. You've now revealed the final two screws of the battery bay area and you can remove them and set them aside. |
As you can see, with the ruber plugs removed the two screws holding the top part of the battery housing bay are now revealed. Simply unscrew and remove these.
Open the phone up and lay it flat. You will see that the screen housing has four rubber bungs at each of the four corners of the scren. These cover the screws that hold the screen housing together.
Using your pin or needle gently remove the rubberised coverings at the four corners of the screen. These are relatively thin so be careful as you do this. Once all four of the coverings have been removed you will see the screws underneath that hold the screen housing together. Simply remove these four screws and you are ready to begin the dismantling of the phone proper.
Turn the phone around so that the base of the keypad is facing you. Insert your plastic tool or SIM card into the small crack at the base of the phone's body and beging slowly prising the two halves apart. Continue performing this process all the way around both sides of the phone's battery housing casing.
If you've correctly worked you way around all the edges of the phone's battery housing then the back casing of the battery housing (with the aerial) will just come away, as in the image above. Before you do anythin else then there are a few components you need to remove from the back casing and these are show below.
The first thing to do is to remove the speaker. Ease your needle-nosed twezers under the speaker and gently ease away and set carefully aside.
The next stage is to remove the micro motor from next to the speaker. This simply lifts away. Also remember to remove and save the cover for the headphone jack.
You now need to remove and save the protective cover at the back of the speaker bay. It's difficult to get purchase on this but once the edge comes loose you can somply peel the protective cover away.
Next remove the aerial extension sleeve housing. This simply lifts out.
Finally it's time to remove the aerial itself. There are two retaining plastic spacers you need to remove. The first of these is black and is sited where the tweezers in the image above is. The second piece is the grey wedge to the right of the tweezers. This simply lifts out. To remove the aerial itself you need two hands (which is why this isn't shown. There are two plastic expansion lugs at the base of the aerial. You need to squeeze these closed with your tweezers. At the same time you need a pair of pliers to gently pull the arieal away from the housing. This is fiddly but not particularly difficult to do.
With this dne all the components from the back case have been removed and stored. For the next steps, jump to the next part of this course.
