Samsung GT-E2120 Teardown

Before you begin it's always good to ground yourself to eliminate the risk for shock.

Using your thumb, press down on the back of the device in a downward motion to open the back cover.

Remove the battery along with the sim card and Micro-SD card.

Next, using a Philips screwdriver, remove the five screws from the back of the device.

For this step a matal spudger is used to release the clips along the bottom, top, and sides of the phone.

These clips can be found at the points marked in red.

When the bottom of the phone is reached it is a bit harder to pull the bottom clips off.

This can be made a tad easier by using the pointed end of the spudger to get in and under the case.

Once the case is lifted up slightly, you can get enough purchase under the clip and lift it off.

This images shows the two halves separated.

The camera located in the blue square is a VGA 640X480 resolution color camera.

The microphone is carefully lifted from its bracket, and the motherboard is carefully removed.

Then the keyboard is simply pushed out.
