It’s probably best NEVER to disassemble your own Nokia as it will void your warranty. Worse, you could break something.

Having said that, the Nokia N8′s battery requires some minor disassembly to change it (you’ll only need to do things a few years into N8′s life if/when battery wears out. It’s your standard BL-4D). Avert your eyes if you do not wish to see the N8 dissected.

Tools required: Torx 4 screwdriver, torx 5 screwdriver, torx 6 screwdriver (not required for removal of the screen) plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card, hot air gun or hairdryer.

  • First remove the torx 4 screws on either side of the phone.

  • Use something like the edge of a credit card to lever the screen out. There are two clips on either side of the screen, roughly in the middle where the credit card is in the photo below. These are the points where you should try and lever the screen out. Do not try and lever the screen along the bottom as the screen will still be connected at the bottom by two ribbons which could get damaged.

  • Pull the screen towards you and away from the phone, as shown below. Two ribbon connectors, circled, need to be detached. They attach like a plug and socket. Just lever each one up, away from the phone, to unplug.

  • Turn the screen over and use a hot air gun or hair dryer to heat it around the edge for about 30 seconds. Then slide the edge of your plastic tool between the display and the touch screen. Only use the very edge of your plastic tool and run it all the way around the display.
