How to disassemble a philips cell phone

Today we are dismantling a dead Philips phone called Xenium 9@9r. Philips has a series Xenium phones 9@9 is quite large, and the models differ only in the last lowercase letter. This fact alone makes you think about the adequacy of the company. But let’s see what’s inside this phone before we make a verdict :)

This is the first clamshell I've disassembled on camera. The phone is in terrible condition, the case is worn out, there is dirt inside, the camera is broken, some plugs are missing, the case was disassembled with a screwdriver, which left severe wounds on the sides.

Important! Everything you do is done at your own risk. Remember: after disassembling the device you will lose the manufacturer's warranty.

Let's begin. We take the phone.

Turn it over.

Slide the battery compartment cover.

Remove the battery compartment cover. The battery was so swollen that I immediately got rid of it.

Unscrew 4 screws.

We turn the phone over, open it, move the two rubber feet from the bottom (they can be easily pryed off with a fingernail) and unscrew 2 more screws.

We take a tool for disassembling cases and begin to open the case. The latches open easily.

And also on the other side.

Now let's work on the latch in the hinge area. In this place the plastic is quite thin, it is easy to break this part. I grabbed the right side and slowly pulled the part up - the latch opened.

It should look like this. The button cover and the rubber stopper on the top of the phone fell out on their own.

Raise your finger motherboard and we see a connector with a tongue. Pull the tab and open the connector.

Case, motherboard and antenna (apparently).

Then the fun begins. We take a tool for disassembling cases (you can pry it off with your fingernail) and tear off the keyboard. It is glued to the body using “Moment” type glue.

We do the same with the screen edging. There is a special recess there.

It is quite difficult to reuse these parts, because... The rubber seal on the screen easily broke, and gluing the parts with good glue is not an option; repeated disassembly will turn into torture.

Unscrew the 4 screws under the screen cover.

We open the upper part of the case with a tool for disassembling cases. First on one side.

Then on the other.

We disassemble the upper part of the body.

You can remove the cover with the inscription “Philips”, it is also glued.

We take a screwdriver and pry up the speakers, they are also glued :)

We fold out the display.

Open the connector.

Display and case.

Open the camera connector.

We remove the camera.

We take the case and open the glued protective plastic.

There's a lot of dirt underneath.

You can remove the hinge plugs.

To do this, use a flat screwdriver to push the plug through a special hole.

Also on the other side. We remove the plugs with our fingers.

All parts are on the table.

We assemble in the reverse order, with the obligatory replacement of parts that cannot be reused and cleaning of glue.

Instead of a conclusion.
I didn’t like the design of the phone; apparently, Philips’ technology is not debugged. The adhesive parts are tin, which complicates repairs and makes it impossible to reuse the parts. The speakers hanging on the wires are also tin. I wouldn’t buy a Philips phone for myself :)


Maybe it will be useful for someone so as not to use the “scientific poking” method.

Disassembly and cleaning mobile phone"Philips X622".

If the screen “glitches” (calibration fails, etc.), poor contact is possible. You need to disassemble the phone and wipe the contacts, at the same time bend them a little for better contact.
Let's do the following.

1. Turn off the phone.

2. Open back cover moving it down.
3. Remove the battery and SIM cards.


4. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to unscrew 4 screws in the corners (one under the seal) and 2 in the middle along the long side of the phone.


5. Carefully use your fingernail to pry up the upper part of the case with glass (it is secured with plastic latches located around the perimeter) and remove it.


6. Do not lose the rubber seal on the microphone capsule.
7. Unscrew 2 screws and carefully pull out the phone board (if necessary).


8. You can carefully dry different “nooks and crannies” with a hairdryer, preferably not hot.
9. Reassemble in reverse order.

Philips has a fairly large series of phones called “Xenium 9@9”. The models in this line are assembled according to the same principle. Armed with a simple set of tools, you can disassemble the phone yourself to repair or replace components.

You will need

  • - TORX screwdriver T-5$
  • - small flat screwdriver;
  • - a tool for disassembling cases.

Instructions

  • Place the phone in front of you with the cover facing up. Slide the compartment cover from battery, which, in turn, remove from the compartment. Remove the screws at the four corners. Turn your phone over and open it. Pry the two rubber feet located below with your fingernail and move them away. Unscrew the two screws under the rubber feet.
  • Take a tool that is specifically designed for disassembling cases and insert it into the sides of the phone case to open the latches. You can replace the tool with a thin screwdriver, just be sure to wrap it in paper so as not to scratch the case.
  • The plastic around the hinge area is thin. To avoid breaking the part, grab the right side and gently pull the part up. The latch will open. The rubber band that limits the movement of the upper part and the button cover will easily fall out on their own. Use your finger to lift up the motherboard. Under it you will find a connector with a tongue. Pull it and open the connector.
  • A keyboard attached to glue can be removed using a case dismantling tool or by prying it off with a fingernail. In the same way, remove the screen edging by prying it into the special recess. Remove the four screws that you will find under the screen cover. Open the upper part of the housing first with right side, and then with the left one and carefully remove it.
  • The Philips logo is also easy to remove because it is glued on. Remove the speakers, also attached to glue, by prying them off with a screwdriver. Fold back the screen and remove it, first opening the connector at the base. Open the camera connector and remove it. Open the glued plastic plate in the housing located above the barcode. To remove the hinge plugs, push them through the holes using a flathead screwdriver and remove them with your fingers.
