Introduction

The following steps will guide you on how to disassemble itel 2163 without ruining any part of the phone or the motherboard in less than 10mins.

Step 1: Switch off the mobile phone

First switch off the phone by longpressing the power button.

Step 2: Remove Back Cover and Battery

Remove the back cover of the phone and the battery, then check for any available sim card(s), and eject the sim card(s) from the sim bed(s).

Step 3: Unscrew the Nuts/Screws

Get the phillips #00 screwdriver and check for the available four (4) nuts/screws attaching the front and middle case together.

Step 4: Pry the Phone open

Get a plastic card and slice open the phone at the rear end towards the charging port in order to separate the middle case (sim bed case) from the front case (screen case). Note: do not pry the phone open with your finger, it is not safe and ethical as you can injure your finger nail in the process.
