The Sanyo SCP-8400, a flip phone available on Sprint, uses an LCD screen as its display. If your screen is damaged or cracked, you can replace the LCD display to solve the problem. If your phone suffers from other damage, such as water damage or broken internal parts, it may require further repair. Try restarting the phone before you attempt to replace the LCD display to see if it solves the problem.
Instructions
1. Press and hold the "End Call" button to turn off the phone. Turn the Sanyo SCP-8400 over, so that the back faces you. Remove the battery by pushing the battery switch and pulling the battery from the phone.
2. Remove the SIM card. Place you finger on the card and push it toward the center of the phone. Lift the card and set it aside.
3. Remove the plastic grommet on the back of the phone, located near the battery, using tweezers. Set it aside.
4. Push the tweezers into the hole created by removing the grommet. Grasp the latch, located inside the hole, and pull it toward the top of the phone. This unlocks the cover of the phone. Remove the cover.
5. Remove the screws, located on the edges of the Sanyo SCP-8400, using a Torx screwdriver. Set the screws aside and lift the metal plate from the cell phone.
6. Pry the LCD screen from the Sanyo SCP-8400. Slide a flat-head screwdriver under the seam of the plastic cover and push upward to release the cover. Set the cover aside. Grasp the latch of the LCD screen with tweezers and pull it upward. Lift the screen about 1 inch off the Sanyo SCP-8400 and disconnect its cable. Remove the LCD screen.
7. Place the replacement screen on the phone and connect the cable to the screen. Reattach the parts of the phone, in the opposite order you removed them.
