so today I remember taking apart the Galaxy S 4G epic slide phone it's called the d700 there's a seven screws around the base there on the outside of it I'm gonna fast forward this just we don't waste any time for myself is pretty easy to take apart it's not a whole lot of screws inside anyway make sure you keep them all the screws in the same place oh I did all the screws around the outside kept them in that little file to pull apart the foam disc a little pry tool and kind of pry between the back housing and the frame of the phone it'll be a little bit tough to get out there's little clips that surround the outsides I have to do is pop them out one by one kind of see me lifting up the edge of the case here and just reaching the pry tool under and kind of twisting a little bit to get it to to pop out you'll see it click out here in a second in the whole case slips off there's a few ribbon cables there's this one on the side for the main screen and there's one more along the top right here you just pick those up they snap back into place really easy so down here is the the bottom speaker housing there's one screw on it you just take off that screw and then the whole thing just kind of clips out of place it's pretty simple it has a 1 cable that goes up to the top and it has one little tiny clip in the bottom of it so you can just lift that off with your pry tool and then just kind of feed it out through those little brackets to hold the wire in place motherboard itself just lifts out there's no screws holding it in place the audio jack if you want to take this out like if you're out of checks come bad you just lift up the little tiny black lever at the bottom of it and if you pull gently the audio jack will come right out it's a little ribbon cable that attaches it slide it back in latch the black part back down and that's how you would replace one of those if you need to okay to separate the board itself from the screen to get to the sliding mechanism you lift up the sticker down at the bottom make sure you keep this because if you ever need to you know warranty out your phone or anything they need that sticker with the DC and all the X numbers on and everything so you can see the four screws they're silver this one those screws are done the whole panel just kind of lifts up by itself you can see the ribbon cable for the top so the keypad itself is just a little thin piece of plastic I can just lift that out there's nothing really all the in place just little brackets that kinda you know keep it in place but don't hold it permanently there to remove this last bracket from the front screen there's four more screws there black ones you can kind of see oh I'm keeping all the screws separated on the side there putting the black one in there a little pile just so you don't get them confused later on then it separates super easily from the phone you got to pry it all just feed the ribbon cable through that bracket then you can see the sliding mechanism on the screen right here so to put it back into place make sure that you line up well we make sure you have the border oriented in the right direction so it sits down correctly and then make sure you hold the ribbon cable out of the way you don't want to damage that but the four black screws back in place slide the keypad back into the swap where it was before just kind of sits in there by itself now here important to make sure you sit that little bracket right back down inside the slot there that way it sits underneath the motherboard in the exact position where it needs to be to clip back down onto the motherboard again it's not in the right spot you'll have to take off this board oh all over again and reposition it right put the four smaller silver screws back into place you like I mentioned before using sure to keep that sticker with all the information at the phone on it motherboard pops back in so right now I'm popping on the little wire for the bottom speaker it clips on the bottom most a little round thing on the motherboard and it clips in right there you just kind of position the cable back into the slots where it was before snap the black part into place and screw down that one screw that was holding it in and there's that screw you know right now I'm just popping those ribbon cables back into place there's only two of them on this phone so it's pretty simple taking the back housing flipping it into place and making sure that I get the buttons back into place as well so the volume button and the power button I'm just there's nothing really holding them in place we just lift up the back in a little bit slide them in and then before they fall out again just clip the the case closed and that one in place once both the buttons are where they're supposed to be pop all those screws back into where they're supposed to be at just go around the edges and kind of hold the phone in one piece and make sure everything looks like it should and that's how you fix a Galaxy S epic slide phone from Sprint you might be have any questions
