Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Flip the Nokia 3300B over with the back-side facing towards you.
Gently press the button on the back of the battery cover to release the cover and slide up.

Lift the battery out of the back of the phone.

Step 3:
Gently push the blue tabs on the top of the phone out of their slots.
With the phone facing up, pop the blue faceplate off by using your fingernail (or some [product|IF145-020|tweezers]) and working your way around the phone.
Note: If the blue cover does not detach easily use your finger nails to try and split it open, as seen in the picture.
Step 4:
With the screen still facing you, lift and remove the blue faceplate.
Step 5:
Grab the sides of the keypad and lift each side up vertically, until the keypad is completely removed.
If you encounter resistance while removing the keypad, be sure to lift up evenly on both sides to ensure that the pins do not snap.
When replacing the keypad, make sure that the plastic pegs all enter their proper holes.
Step 6:
Remove the six Torx T6 screws from the phone's front case.
Step 7:
Pull up on the front case containing the screen to separate it from the rest of the phone.
Gently lift the main board out of the back case.
