Sidekick II disassembly

HOW TO: take apart a sidekick II
you might want to do this if you want to paint it or just for the heck of it.

Step 1 Buttons

first you need to pry off the buttons of the SK. to do this you can use your finger nails or a screw driver if you dont have nails to pry off the buttons.

In your step four, what did you use to get the screen off. I have one that back light is broken and one that is broken inside wise and I want to do a screen change.

Nicely illustrated! I was wondering if you know of anyone who has used the parts to make a remote interface device? It seems like this would be a nice form-factor for projects, but I haven't found anyone who has revere-engineered the keyboard or screen interface. Did you end up using any of these parts?
