So I have this old blackberry that is now obsolete. Its not worth anything (50$ maybe), I cant seem to install apps on it without having a data plan (yet) so its useless. So, out of boredom, I decide to take it apart and see what its made of. It turns out to be a very easy little adventure. So kiss your warranties goodbye and get out our your pocketknife.
Here's what its made of:
 |
| The tools I used (mostly the screwdriver) |
 |
Really that easy. You don't have to worry about connected wires on the motherboard because they are all contact only.
Also there was a black sticker covering most of what you see here. That can simply be peeled off (leaves annoying stickiness though). It might be a good idea to put something back where the sticker was, between the battery and the EM shields, if you are going to use the phone much afterwards. |
 |
| Why don't I remove the ER shields and get a look at the CPU? well I'm using a pocketknife, I figure my chances are not great. |
 |
| Pretty Simple... |
 |
| That clip is all that hold the trackball in. You can now remove and clean it. |
Putting it back together is pretty much as simple. I was able to get everything back to how it was. The buttons now feel better after removing all the dust, and the trackball its a little better too.
