HTC Rezound–Disassemble Guide
Step 1 – Battery
•
Let’s begin to disassemble the HTC Rezound by
removing the back cover.
•
Insert the plastic opening tool in the notch in the
front cover of the phone. Pry at this point to
release the clips holding the back cover to the
phone.
•
With the back cover removed, the battery is easily
accessible. Use the plastic opening tool to lift and
remove the battery out of the Rezound.
•
With the battery and rear cover removed, the
SIM and MicroSD cards are easily accessible.
Remove both cards from the HTC Rezound.
•
The rear section of the case is secured by six
small Phillips screws (#00), locate and remove
these screws with the appropriate screwdriver.

Step 4
•
To remove the rear portion of the case, insert the
plastic opening tool in the seam that goes around
the perimeter of the phone.
•
After beginning separation at the seam, the plastic
clips are easily separated with a slight twist of the
plastic opening tool while it is still in the seam.
Work your way around the entire perimeter of the
phone until the rear portion of the case is
removed.
•
The speaker assembly is attached to the rear
portion of the case. It is held in place with a small
amount of adhesive. Use the spudger to gently
pry the speaker assembly out of its secured
location and remove it from the Rezound.
•
Three Phillips screws (#00) secure the
motherboard into the body of the phone, locate
and remove these three screws.

Step 7 – Vibrator Motor
•
Using the spudger, pry the vibrator motor out of its
housing in the phone, and then unplug its
connection from the motherboard.
•
With the securing screws and vibrator motor
removed, open the motherboard like you would a
book. This will reveal two ribbon cables that are
still connected to the motherboard. One is a
connector for the LCD screen and the other is a
connector for the touch screen.
•
Both the LCD and touch screen ribbon cables are
secured by locking sockets. Using the spudger, lift
the lock on the sockets to release the cables.
Remove the two cables from their sockets on the
motherboard.

socket. Using the spudger, lift the lock on the

The front-facing camera is secured into the phone
by a locking socket. Using the spudger, lift the lock
on the socket to release the ribbon cable and
remove the camera from the HTC Rezound.
•
The ear piece speaker is secured in its housing
with a small amount of adhesive. Use the spudger
to pry up and release the earpiece speaker and
remove it from the Rezound.
•
Use the heat gun/blow drier to heat the adhesive
securing the touch screen to the plastic trim. This
will loosen the connection between the two.

•
The touch screen needs to be separated from the
display assembly. Insert the spudger or a
screwdriver, through the opening for the front
facing camera, and from the back begin to push
the display assembly away from the trim.
•
When separation has started, insert the plastic
opening tool in the gap and continue the
separation around the perimeter of the phone.
•
Now, the display assembly can be removed from
its frame. Insert the spudger in one corner of the
assembly and work your way around the display
assembly until it is pushed out of its frame.
