HTC [don’t] Touch
August 7, 2009
I was bored at work at lunchtime the other day, so I dissected my HTC Touch to see what was inside.
Here’s the HTC Touch from the front (pre dissection):
Here it is from the back (also pre dissection):
Here it is without the battery.
That’s pretty much as far as you can get without a screwdriver. I did have a screwdriver to hand; but it wasn’t one of those little ones used by watch makers which I think is what would have been needed. It was a normal sized flathead; so I just used that and a bit of force to continue.
Removing the back panel which also has a void sticker covering the whole panel, so removed that also (phone now officially voided):
This is after I removed the front cover panel, which wasn’t difficult with my trusty screwdriver:
Under this was a semi-hinged piece of metal holding the touch screen which I removed, of course:
And then I ripped out the semi hinged metal and the attached circuit board:
Finally I pulled apart all of the little parts such as the camera, mic, call/end call buttons, menu buttons, etc.
I’m not confident that I can piece it all back together so that it works again – I don’t even have any super glue.

Got something to say?
I take it the HTC Touch is your old phone? (Seeing as how you have your wonderful, lazy-making iPhone now.)
You are correct – this one was my old phone which did one good thing in failing so badly which made me go out and buy the shiny.
