• Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card. Remove the four screws you can see.

• Open the camera slide. The metallic blue part you see is a sticker that you need to peel back to reveal two screws (circled). Remove these two screws.

• Now run something like the edge of a credit card along the join of the camera slide and the back of the phone to release the clips that hold it in place.

• Now try and move the other circuit board away from the rest of the phone. Note that it will still be attached by three ribbons, two of which are circled below. Again they attach like a plug and socket. Just lever each one away from the circuit board to unplug.

• Pull the circuit board towards you and your phone should now look like below. Disconnect the third connector (circled below).
