Just download the manual and take a look at it. Definitely pick up the ss-93. I ordered it with my screen and they sent me 2 different sizes, which both came in handy. I also ordered a few sets of spare screws. Read a few stories of people breaking the screws, so thought I would play it safe.

Set up a clean work area, get some compressed air, the proper screwdrivers and tools, and follow the manual step by step very slowly.

And like I said, the hardest part of disassembly was the framing. And the hardest part of assembly was the flex connectors. There is no soldering. The LCD disconnects just by popping it out, and the touchscreen comes out by releasing a lock and then sliding the cable out.

As lng as you take your time and be gentle you will be fine. Good luck.
Hey Breakdown, thanks for the great response... do you know of any other videos perhaps? Also where have you heard stories about skrews getting broken, I only found that tehkseven video when searching for "n900 disassembly", and nothing else besides this thread? Could you possibly point me in the right direction for the manual that shows a step by step on this? The only thing I could find was a site that seemed to have a schematic breakdown but that was it... actually raised more questions for me than answers? Thanks again for your help!
