Find the notch in the cover, insert the plastic opening tool, and pry up to release the clips holding the back cover down.
With
the back cover removed, use the plastic opening tool to remove the battery from
the HTC Trophy.
Four
T5 torx screws and one small Phillips screw (#00) secure the rear portion of
the case. Locate and remove these screws with the appropriate screwdrivers.
To
remove the rear portion of the case, insert the plastic opening tool in the
seam and work your way around the perimeter of the Trophy.
After
beginning the separation at the seam, the plastic clips are easily separated
with the opening tool and a slight twist of the case.
In
order for the motherboard to be detached from the phone, a few connections and
screws need to be removed. Begin with the connections for the display assembly.
The first is a locking socket connection that secures the LCD connection in the
phone. Make sure you flip up the lock to release the cable and then remove it
from its socket.
The
second ribbon cable is for the touch screen/ front panel. It has the same
locking socket that secures the LCD connection. Make sure you flip up the lock
to release the cable and then remove it from its socket.
Locate
and remove the two T5 torx screws, located at the bottom of the motherboard,
that secure it to the display assembly.
Locate
and remove the single Phillips screw (#00). It is the last of the motherboard’s
securing screws.
With
all of the connections detached and the screws out of the motherboard, you can
now remove the motherboard from the HTC Trophy.
The
earpiece speaker is adhered to the back of the display assembly. Use the
spudger to pry the speaker out of its location and remove it from the Trophy.
The
rear speaker is adhered to the rear portion of the case. Use the spudger to pry
the speaker out of its location and remove it from the Trophy.
To
begin the process of removing the touch screen, use the heat gun/blow dryer to
soften the adhesive that secures the touch screen onto the display assembly.
The
touch screen needs to be separated from the display assembly. The easiest way
to begin the separation is to use the torx screwdriver. From the back of the
touch screen, insert the screwdriver, and push it through the front-facing
camera hole.
The
push from behind starts the separation of the touch screen. Use the plastic
opening tool to finish the separation of the touch screen from the display
assembly.
The
touch screen cannot be separated completely because there is still a ribbon
wire securing it to the display assembly.
The
LCD screen needs to be removed next. To remove the LCD, use the heat gun/blow
dyer to now soften the adhesive securing this part in place.
Using
the spudger, pry the LCD screen up and out of its location in the frame. Be
careful not to use too much force! If your LCD is not damaged, it can crack if
you are careless during this step.
You
can now remove the LCD screen and the touch screen from the HTC Trophy.
