Introduction

If your Motorola V551 Cellphone screen non-operational, it is likely that the screen is in need of repair. In order to remove and replace the screen, follow the steps in this guide.

The screen is the most important feature of a cell phone to the user. Without the ability to see the actions you are taking, a phone is meaningless. A faulty screen will not display anything on the phone.

Before using this guide, inspect the other components and their connections to the motherboard. The problem could be a component being unplugged from dropping the phone.

Ensure the cellphone is fully powered off and not plugged in before beginning the repair.

Tools

Step 1

On the phone's face, remove the four rubber caps from the screw covers using a spudger.

Step 2

Unscrew the four cover screws using a T6 Torx screwdriver, turning counterclockwise.

Step 3

Loosen and remove the protective cover using a plastic opening tool.

Step 4

Gently loosen the second protective cover with the plastic opening tool.

Do not pry from the top or bottom of the metal cover. There are a pair of 1/4" long openings on either side of the metal cover at the midpoint of the case. The plastic teeth which lock into the openings must be withdrawn. I used the point of cuticle sissors to get behind the metal strip under each tooth and pull outwards a small distance to release each tooth. The sides of the cover will spring up.
