How to Dismantle Mobile Phones
- 1). Switch off your cellphone and remove it from the charger.
- 2). Turn the phone over so you can see the back.
- 3). Look for a small, plastic battery release button located on the battery cover. Press and hold the button down, if present.
- 4). Slide the battery cover off the phone or pry it upward with a fingernail or other thin, rigid object.
- 5). Remove the battery by prying it out of the cellphone. Use a fingernail to pull it up and out of the phone.
- 6). Look for the SIM card inside the back of the phone. It is sometimes located inside a small slot in the body of the phone or behind a latch.
- 7). Open the latch by sliding it toward the top or bottom of the phone. If the SIM card is inside a slot, carefully remove it by pinching it and pulling.
- 8). Gather the pieces of the cellphone.
