How to Disassemble the iPhone 3G.
Welcome to the iPhone 3G Take Apart Guide. To begin, grab your Philips head screwdriver and remove the two Philips head screws at the bottom of the phone on either side of the dock connector.
Now, grab your Nylon tool or flat head screwdriver and gently prop between the middle part and the Digitizer of the iPhone. It is suggested to use a Nylon tool as this will be safer for a method when lifting up the glass in the iPhone. Once that’s complete gently lift up and there will be three connectors numbered one, two and three. Remove these in this order.
Grab your Nylon tool or Philip head screwdriver and gently lift up on cable one and two. Cable three has a lock bar and the cable slides into the connection on the logic board. Gently lift up the bar and then the connector should slide out making the Digitizer and LCD mechanism free to lift up and out.
Now to remove the LCD from the Digitizer, remove the three screws on this side of the LCD and the two screws on this side, and there’s also a screw and the top right hand corner of the LCD. Remove this. Once that’s complete, now grab your flat head screwdriver or nylon tool and very gently lift up the LCD out of the Digitizer mechanism.
Now to remove the logic board, you’ll need to remove cables four, five and six in this order. These are snap on cables so you should very gently lift up and they will come on done from a logic board. Once that is complete, now there are 7 screws that need to be removed from the logic board. and remove these.
Now, grab your Nylon tool or flat head screwdriver and using the extreme caution lift up the logic board out of the bottom pan. The outside cable will be connected and it is very easily snapped off the logic board. So gently remove that if it hasn’t already come off. Now lift up and out to remove the logic board.
The battery is held on only by double sided tape. So you can use your Nylon tool or flat head screwdriver or the tab that they provided. You will need to apply some pressure. Once that’s complete, just simply lift the battery out of the bottom pan.
