BlackBerry Curve 8530 Keypad Replacement

Place the phone on a flat surface with the screen facing down.

Remove the plastic backplate by pulling up on the bottom of the cover.

Remove the battery by pulling up from the top of the battery.

Remove the two screws midway up the phone on the left and right sides using a T6 Torx Screwdriver.

Warning: One screw will have warranty tape covering the screw. Removing this screw will likely void the phones warranty.

Flip the phone over so the keyboard faces up.

Insert a plastic spudger into the screen where speaker resides.

I recommend going from the side. There are two layers to the cover. You need to make sure you get underneath the bottom layer if you plan on reusing this cover.

Gently lift up plastic screen cover until screen cover separates from screen.

Continue until screen cover is completely removed.

Insert the spudger into the top of the plastic siding on the front of the phone and lift up until the siding lifts up.

Slide the tool around the entire perimeter of the phone until the plastic siding is completely removed.

The keyboard should slide off of the phone now that the plastic siding has been removed.
