Cracking open a flip phone

Thursday, September 27 2007 12:59 pm

Inside an LG C1300 cell phone


In my haste, I chose to pry and bend the keypad part of the hinge to clear the post that fits into the channel of the hinge, being careful not to tear the bus connector that slides out through a slot at this location.

The correct way to remove the hinge would be to insert a special tool (which I don't have at my disposal) into the hole at the opposite end and pull back the spring-loaded post that sticks out of the center part of the hinge. This will be clear in the next photo.

With the hinges now separated, the bus can be seen in this photo at arrow 1.

Arrow 2 shows the spring-loaded post that would be retracted to allow removal and insertion of the center hinge into the outer hinge on the keypad housing.
