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.

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.
