BlackBerry Torch 9860 Handset Disassembly

Depress the battery cover release button and remove the battery cover

Remove the battery from the phone before continuing.

Slide the yellow button toward the battery to eject the SIM card

Remove the MicroSD card from the SD slot (if present)

There will be a silver bezel around the edge (the dog ate mine!)

Insert pry tool near the padlock icon and gently work your way around the bezel to pry it off and reveal the screws.

Grab your T5 Torx screwdriver, and remove all 8 screws

With the 8 screws removed, you can gently pry the back cover off. Be gentle, as it is still connected by a ribbon cable

Gently pry ribbon cable off, and then you will have the back cover fully removed

The next step is to remove the board.

There are 3 ribbon cables connected to it

Disconnect the first ribbon cable

When you remove the second ribbon cable it will reveal the third ribbon cable

With the 3 ribbon cables disconnected you can gently pry the board up and away from phone

With the board removed, you can then simply lift out the LCD display

Once the LCD is removed, the handset disassembled.
