Replace LCD on Nokia 5310

Is the LCD on your Nokia 5310 broken? Did the backlight stop working on the 5310? Does the screen on your Nokia look like this?If you got your phone wet and the LCD screen no longer works then this is the repair guide your need to follow.

You can buy a replacement Nokia 5310 LCD Replacement from eBay.

You will need a T6 torx driver to remove the screws. I also recommend a thin plastic guitar pick to help undo the covers. Check your local home depot for a torx driver set. They run about 5 dollars. Some of the LCD's come with a driver but it was a t5 torx and was too small.

1. Turn off power to the phone

Work the small tipped object around the seam of the cover to release the 2 retaining clips and remove the camera cover. See the pictures below for the locations.
