Sidekick 3 LCD Repair

Sidekick 3 LCD Flip Screen Replacement
Replacing the LCD / Flip screen on your sidekick 3 is a fairly straight forward process. There are only 2 screws you need to remove. This repair will require a T6 torx driver.
Buy a replacement Sidekick 3 LCD screen.
1. Power down unit.


2. Remove back cover and take out battery.


3. Flip you sidekick screen halfway to access the two screws that need to be removed. One has already been removed in this picture. Remove the screws using the T6 torx driver.

4. While still holding the screen in the half flipped position, gently lift the screen up and out.

Warning
Be careful not to touch the copper contacts or the connector. The pins on the connector of the base unit are very fragile.

5. Prepare the replacement screen for installation. Make sure the spring unit is aligned as shown. Fail to follow this step can cause the screen not to flip properly. If it is not aligned as shown, rotate spring assembly until it is.

6. Rotate the screen to the half flipped postion and install in base unit. See picture in step 4 for the proper angle to install. Once installed, slowly release the screen and allow to flip into position.
7. Rotate screen to the half flipped postion and install the two screws removed in step 3 and tighten them down.
8. Test the flip action of your phone. It if doesn't work right, remove screen and go back to step 3.
9. Once the flip action is working, it is time to reinstall the battery and back cover.
10. Power up you phone and enjoy your Sidekick 3 in all it's glory.
