  1. Nokia 2 Teardown, Prepare your tools: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Prepare your tools before starting the repair.

    • I have a random multi-set screwdriver laying around, but it doesn't have T2 head.

  2. Nokia 2 Teardown, Pry open the back casing: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Nokia 2 Teardown, Pry open the back casing: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Open the back casing with your fingernail or a plastic pick.

    • Once you disconnect the back casing, you can use a pry tool or some other kind of resistive tool to lift the back panel.

  3. Nokia 2 Teardown, Pay attention to the screws: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Unscrew the seven screws with your T5 screwdriver.

    • These screws should be removed with your T2 screwdriver.

  5. Nokia 2 Teardown, Remove the back of the inner casing: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Nokia 2 Teardown, Remove the back of the inner casing: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Use a spudger or anything that is thin and sturdy (not a piece of paper).

    • A piece of paper is not ideal to remove the inner casing because it may rip. A ruler will also work.

    • Take your tool and place between the back cover and the device. Lift the tool until the motherboard is exposed.

    • Be careful when opening it! If you break the plastic, there is no way to reassemble it to make it new again.

    • To avoid further damage, remove the screws first.

    • If you do not remove the screw and just proceed to the removal, you will damage the board, resulting in your phone being irreversibly broken.

    • Use an iOpener and a spudger to open it.

    • If you can't afford those like me, you can use a hair dryer and some cards.

    • If you pry it open improperly, the LCD screen inside may be cracked, thus you'll have to do screen replacement to reconstruct it.
