Samsung SCH-U340 Top Casing Replacement

Turn the cell phone so that the back side is facing you.

Press the upper indent and slide the back cover down.

Pull the battery up from indent at the bottom and slide it out.

Set the battery aside.

The outer casing consists of two separate parts on the upper and lower halves of the device. The upper outer casing is held on through a combination of screws and tabs.

First, remove the plastic plugs covering the screws with a spudger.

Underneath the plugs are two small screws that can be removed with a small Phillips screwdriver.

The outer cover is now secured with seven tabs: one large tab (marked in red) and seven smaller tabs (marked in orange).

To begin removing the outer cover, start by prying the large tab up with a flat object.

See next slide for details for smaller tabs.

Continue to pry each smaller tab up, taking care not to break the tabs.

After the last tab is removed, tug gently on the outer casing to remove it.
