    • Flip the screen up halfway (90 degrees), to reveal the 2 screws above the right side of the keyboard.

    • Use the Torx 6 screwdriver to remove these 2 screws.

    • Be careful in handling the phone after removing the screws, because the two main bodies of the phone are no longer attached.

I have the battery out. Is their a way to check if it holds a charge? when I plugged charger into sidekick nothing lit up? is it a battery problem or a charge issue? The phone was never damaged. like the rest stop using it so died. figured battery is toast. this was a replacement tutorial. but doesn't show new battery going in to make sure you did correctly. I need the text messages and other data from my phone pretty bad. any help greatly appreciated.
