Sidekick II Keyboard Replacement

Use the plastic opening tool to remove the 4 buttons on each corner of the Sidekick.

Gently pry open button and remove button.

Do this for each of the 3 buttons remaining.

The bumpers on the top and bottom of the phone can be removed by simply "peeling" them off.

Use the T6 Torx Screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that are underneath the 4 buttons you removed in step one.

Flip the screen up halfway (90 degrees), to reveal the 2 screws above the right side of the keyboard.

Use the Torx 6 screwdriver to remove these 2 screws.

After removing the 6 screws and both bumpers, the phone will be easy to separate into the two main bodies.

You can use your hands to simply pull apart the top casing from the bottom casing.

Remove screen from case

Remove both black "rivets" from the back of the case with the plastic opening tool.

Push keyboard out of the front of the casing with your thumbs.
