How to I take apart a Samsung Gravity and change the springs?

Both of the springs to slide the phone open are broken and I want switch the springs with the other samsung gravity that I have that's broken. How do you do this?|||Disclaimer: I have no experience with the phone, however I have taken lots and lots of things apart :-)





1.You will need a small screwdriver set.


2.Take out all the screws on one side, keep track of them and note if any are different sizes and their location. Some screws may be hidden under sticky "feet" others under plastic inserts. Keep taking out screws till it comes apart.


3. If there are no more screws and it doesn't come apart, it may be held with a plastic snap or set of snaps. Use the flat blade screwdriver to pry the apart joints.


4. Keep track of parts and their how connected as they you take things off. Remember the parts inside electronics are delicate(especially ribbon cables).


5.Replace the springs and test the functionality if possible.


6. Snap the plastic back together install all the screws and replace any sticky feet.


7. Voilè„¿ fixed!





Remember that most electronics can be disassembled and repaired, but this does not mean they are designed it to be repaired. It is usually difficult, but most always do-able.





Good luck!
