Introduction

This guide will provide the steps on how to disassemble a broken or cracked LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) screen for the Motorola K1m cellphone. It will also give you the instructions to replace the broken LCD screen with a new and working one. Once you finish this guide you will have a new working LCD screen.

Tools

Step 1

Begin by removing the trim piece from around the front face plate.
Be very careful when dealing with the trim. It is very delicate, so be cautious when approching this next part.
Using your fingers or The Spudger get underneath the trim. Start by applying enough force to pry the trim off.
Be patient when trying to pry off the trim. The tape attaching the trim to the phone is very strong. Just be persistent and patient and it will eventually give.
Remove the trim piece.

Step 2

Once you have removed the trim you will see 4 gold screws at the corners of the phone. Using a T5 Torx Screwdriver, remove the screws.

Step 3

Gently use The Spudger towards the edge of the phone and lift the face plate off.
The touch-sensitive keys and chip board/LCD screen (which is green) may remain attached to the face plate because of the glue.
Gently hold the green logic board down as you lift the face plate apart from it.
Remove the face plate.

Step 4

Gently, with your fingers or a tweezer, lift the orange flex cable apart from the pin connector it is connected to.
Gently remove the green logic board/LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen away from the phone.
Replace with new green logic board/LCD screen.
To reassemble the phone, follow of the steps in reverse order.
