How to take the ppc-6700 apart
Well folks, here is a step by step, missing the pics for right now. Once I open it again or spymongoose does, we'll get some pics up to show what I've discussing here...
1. Remove the battery cover and battery.
2. Remove the 2 screws above the battery that hold on the piece of plastic covering the camera.
3. Gently pry that piece of plastic up starting at the camera side (as opposed to the flash side).
4. Inside you can now remove 1 screw holding the flash board down, as well as the remaining 2 screws holding the top of the case together.
5. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the battery area.
6. Pop the flash board out and then the camera module out. They are only held in at this point by the connectors.
7. Now you should be ready to pry off the frame. There are 3 clips on each long side of the phone. Just find a place where you can get your fingernails in between the case and start gently pulling. If you use a small screwdriver it will help, but you'll mar the case more than likely... 2 clips on the small sides...
8. Now, the main board should have 1 screw holding it together. Remove this and you can wrangle the main board out. (detach the keyboard connector... While removing this, you will have to remove a sticker on the under side that it holding a connector down...
9. Do as you please from here...
