Today I changed the cover of my S Arc. If everything is wonderful. Some tricky passages are but did not take longer than 30 minutes.


Hope the instructions are easy to understand, because my english is bad :)




1.

six screws (four Torx, two cross) solve. Back cover away from the frame, to use a pick or sharpened credit cards. Left, right and down the latches loosen with a pick, remove the back cover then simply

2.

Remove all peripherals (camera, Vibi and sensors, antenna cable, DisplayPort connector, touch screen connector, flex connector). Carefully arrange with your fingernail.

3.

Remove print. Pry with a little leverage from the Micro-USB connector her out.

4.

Navi-board removed. Solve the double-sided adhesive with a plectrum in Naviboard. Be careful when introducing a pick, that no parts are damaged by the board. Then-board navigation system, together with double sided adhesive removed. In the camera switch is a barb, these purely press lightly with tweezers first, and then remove the camera switches to the whole Flex.

5.

Display / touch screen front part. Gently (really gently) push plectrum between the front and display (not more than 2mm to 5mm, otherwise the display and touch separately). A drive around it once or twice to dissolve the glue. Then try to remove the display / touch screen from below (with my forth below by the Navi key, not the reverse). Watch out for the flex and connectors, so they are not damaged. In separate action all over the screen or there will never touch the spots and shadows on the display.

Well guys, it seems you are also avoiding dentist and trying to repair your teeth by yourselves, ain't it? Like Mr. Bean... (sarcasm)

The local service center of Sony in my country doesn't offer service to replace the housing of my Xperia Arc unless I'll buy the parts (housing or body + digitizer) from them. They won't do it if I'll just provide the housing which, say for example, came from ebay. It should include the digitizer and be ordered from them. The funny thing is that it will cost me as much as what a brand new Xperia Arc costs right now in my country.

So I guess, I have to do it myself to save money. I'm just afraid to mess up. :(

PS.: Can anyone post a link of the proper tools needed to do the disassembly/re-assembly? (e.g.: screwdrivers, glues?, etc.)

i've managed to disassemble digitizer from household and there is some kind of glue. The best way is to heat up a little around the smartphone household and the try to remove the display. putting back new display is easy and doesn't need any new glue, just put it in the place and press around firmly.
