there's a guide on modaco or coolsmartphone i think.
I just found my old hurricane in bits so i just put it together a bit to remember...seems quite easy... just remove the battery, sim and sd card, take out all the screws on the back (torx t5 i think) slide a credit card at an angle down the side of the silver half of the case, and it kind of pops loose a bit at a time. Mine pops easily out now cause its loose, but it was more difficult the first time.
The camera connector just pops off the mobo as you remove the back half of the case, the keyboard connector next to the sd card slot pops off, then take the mobo and lcd out of the front of the case. The lcd is a bitch, it involves holding it at about a less than 45 degree angle, while using a long pokey implement to pull up the top edge of the tape covering the lcd connector , then use the implement to flick up the connector (bottom side the furthest away from you), all without holding it at too much of an angle, then u can just pull the lcd off.
Putting it back its even more of a bitch.
Putting the camera connector back can also be a bit tricky first time as you have to use your implement again (while holding the case at an angle).
