Samsung Brightside Logic board Replacement

Inleiding

I noticed that there was not to much information about working on this phone. I received one in a non-working condition and figured it would be a good chance for some guides. The phone is easy to work on and no hidden screws or clips, no excessive glue. A straight forward no nonsense phone.

Use a plastic opening tool or similar tool to separate the top from the bottom frame. Applying slight pressure in a downwards direction will disengage the plastic clips
Continue to slide the tool along the slot until you feel the plastic locks disengage
Once all locks have released, the bottom frame can simply be removed.
