Found this guide on the net the other day, hope someone likes it.
How to take apart a Sony Ericsson k610i cell phone
Tools required: Torx 6 screwdriver
1: Remove battery, SIM card and memory card.
2. Remove the two bottom torx screws.
3. Remove the upper backplate by putting pressure on one of the sides. You can help with a small slotted screwdriver, but be careful not to use to much pressure.
4. Remove the two top torx screws.
5. The front should be easy to remove, try opening it from one side and the proceed to the other.
6. The electronics are all in one component, start from the top, but be careful not to damage anything.
7. The k610i dissasembled.

There are also other dissasembly videos on youtube for those interested.

Probably, if you find something to replace it with.

Removing the backplate requires some force. This can be risky but should most likely work out okay.

To remove the backplate safely, I used my guitar pick (the thin kind for strumming)

wondering if you know what could be wrong, Son had a cracked LCD screen so I bought one on ebay to replace it . However after fiting it all in the screen new screan has no lighting in it. I can vaguely see the the display but it almost it extremely dark. The broken screen although cracked was still able light up? can you guess at what is going on?
Thank you

On the website http://www.formymobile.co.uk/Dismantle/k610disassembly.htm you can see the angle of a screwdriver for takeing the upper backplate off.
Thx for your gude!
I had a problem with charging due to a fall from 2 m on a concrete. I just opened it usin your guide and a guide at the upper mentioned link and removed the connector part, cleaned it, put it back and now it works as new!

February 23rd, 2009 on 17:20
hi im stuck with the upper back cover do you push it down or up when you put pressure on it also it hurts my fingers to put pressure on it. p.s this guide is the best i looked ages for picture insructions on google on how to take apart the k610i and by far these are the best instructions.

i finally figured out how to open the upper back plate thank you for all your help you rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know where you can get the lens plastic lens cover for the camera at the back of the phone?

GREAT THANK YOU!!, to remove the body containing the (broken screen, now fixed through your help!!) screen i used a 60mm guitar pick (as suggested earlier) worked a charm and no stress to any of the plastic bits, came away without pressure or force!! That seemed to be the trickest part of the whole procedure.
(looks like I’m keeping my phone for another few years !!!hahahaha Brilliant!!) Once again THANK YOU!!!!
