Nokia 2780 Flip Screen Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide to replace the screen with your Nokia 2780 Flip.

Nokia screens are 2.7-inch TFT with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. If your Nokia is cracked or damaged, has a black screen but the phone will still power on, lines, dead pixels, or discoloration appears, or the screen flickers when opening/closing the phone, it could be time to replace the screen.

    • Place a spudger or an opening tool under the edge of the press connector and pry straight up to disconnect it.

    • Make sure to pry under the edge of the connector itself, and not under the socket on the board. Otherwise, you risk permanently damaging the socket.

    • To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one of the short sides, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.
