A cracked or otherwise damaged screen on your Nokia 6101B can make the phone useless even if the rest of the phone is not damaged. If your phone's warranty has expired, it's possible to replace the screen yourself. All you need is a replacement screen sized for the 6101B and a Torx screwdriver. In about an hour, you can have the new screen in place, restoring the full function of your phone.
Instructions
1. Turn off the power for your phone by pressing the "End Call" button for a full six seconds. Turn the phone over and then slip the battery cover off the phone body. Remove the battery from the phone.
2. Pull the metal cover that was beneath the battery up from the inside of the battery cavity. Remove the SIM card that the cover protected.
3. Grasp the RF grommet, the small plastic circle just above where the battery was located, with a pair of tweezers and lift it from the case. Search the side of the phone case at the same level as the grommet for a small hole. Push a mini flathead screwdriver into the hole and wiggle the end slightly to wedge up the rear of the phone case. Pull the rear of the case from the front.
4. Remove the small Torx screws that became visible when you removed the rear of the case. The screws hold the thin protective plate covering the front of the phone. Remove the plate after taking out the screws, then flip the phone back over.
5. Place the tip of a mini flathead screwdriver into the joint between the plastic cover at the bottom of the phone and the phone case. Lift the cover from the phone by pressing forward lightly with the screwdriver to unlock the small plastic locking mechanism holding the plate in place.
6. Pull the LCD screen from the phone, taking care not to snap the cable that connects the screen to the phone's PCB board. Pull the cable from the screen, then pull the broken screen completely away from the phone. Plug the cable into the new screen and place the replacement screen into the case. Replace the plastic cover by pressing it onto the case body, providing light pressure along the cover edges to lock it to the case.
7. Flip the phone over and reinstall the plastic plate with the screws. Replace the rear of the case onto the phone, then return the grommet, SIM card, metal plate and battery to the battery compartment. Cover the battery compartment and turn on the phone to resume regular operations.
